~AriaMalik caught my arms as I stumbled backward. The weight of the world cinched tight around me, swallowing every sense of understanding about the situation. Why would he take me here. "What's wrong?" I hear Malik question, although I hardly understand through the assault of thoughts hitting me right now. The urge to turn and run as far away from the house I spent my entire life in, is immense, but Malik's presence behind stops me. "Aria...You can tell me? What's wrong?"My parents were in there. The exact parents who completely betrayed my trust. They used my lack of independence as an excuse; as a way to cut me out of their privileged lives. I may be doing this to save their lives, but I never want to see their faces again. If I did, I might do something I'll regret..."We need to go," I mumble, feeling sober suddenly. Who knows how long it will take until one of them sees us out here. I brush past Malik, wishing my head wasn't spinning so much. My only thought is that I need

~Aria The following days after Malik and I's date were a whirlwind. He took others on dates, including Brynn. While he did so, Zariah and I plotted how and when we are going to sneak into Malik's quarters. Over those few days, I learnt Zariah is one of the smartest people I know, yet at the the same time, the stupidest. Her Wisdom Pack counterpart has been sent home after she picked one too many fights with the other girls. Zariah didn't like her anyway. I just wish that Macie would be sent home too, since she has completely turned into a different person since she began hanging around with Phoenix and Mareli. They all leave me to wonder what will happen when it gets to the last few girls. No doubt they will turn on each other like wild animals. "I know Phoenix's family is beyond rich, but apparently so is Macie's," I'm told at breakfast. I stop eating my apple, watching Zariah carefully. "Her father is a plantation owner."Macie hadn't mentioned it, but not many girls mentioned

~Aria Again, Zariah had to pick Malik's lock. As I watched her do it, I wonder for a brief second if I should warn Malik to invest in a better lock system even a Wisdom Pack member wouldn't be able to crack.The movement of her swinging the door open mirrored the wave of fear that assaulted my heart."You search the left side, I'll search the right," Zariah said fleetingly before she wandered straight into the room without a hitch in her step. Swallowing, I took a few moments to get myself together, before I followed her inside.The first thing that struck me, was how his room heavily smelt like him. I should have expected the rich yet subtle spicy scent of Malik. It sunk another bout of guilt onto my shoulders, making me inwardly curse myself as I close the door behind me. Yet all my worry evaporated suddenly, as I took in the Alpha of Love's room.He hadn't bothered to make his bed - his white sheets rumpled around his mattress. Wouldn't someone make it for him, or does he not let

~AriaMalik was working on that damn couch for what must have been over an hour. I finger the shower grate mindlessly, as I wait for Malik to go to bed. The dried soap on my skin itches beyond belief, and is slightly peeling, but on the bright side, I smell nice. Well, I smell like Malik, which wouldn't go down well with the other girls.While I waited, I wondered what happened to Zariah. She must have made a run for it, when she saw Malik coming down the hallway. She's too smart to stick around, unlike me.Suddenly, the sound of Malik's phone ringing makes me jump, nearly making me drop the grate I had been holding in my hand. "Rylan. Hey," I hear Malik say.Rylan, I know that name. The Alpha of Purity...It does make sense that the Alpha of Love would be in contact with the Alpha of Purity, since they share a lot of the same Pack values. But did this esteemed Alpha of Purity know of what Malik used to get up to with all those women who came out to news reporters? I really hope that

~Aria I'm out of bed in the second. The sound of the scream was one of pain, of panic. And right beside my room, through the wall. Heart racing, I back up, wondering what to do. My mind can't seem to fathom fully what is going on; being delirious on sleep, the darkness curling around my mind. What do I do? Am I the hero that will save the day from something I'm under about? I can't just sit here and not do anything...I run out the room, stumbling into the hallway with my hands in front of me. Wherever the light switch is, I doubt I'm going to find it. Instead, I run my fingers along the wall, getting closer to the sound assaulting my ears. The moment my hand lands on the door handle, I exhale in relief. When I open the door, I can hear rustling coming from what is probably the bed. A struggle, and the shrill scream of pain. Luckily, the light switch is the same as in my room, so I flick it on, and let my eyes adjust to the light. Right in front of me, are two girls. Rose and th

~Aria The cool down period after the incident with Rose and Kendall took a few days.Police swarmed the entire place most of the day, and I got questioned the same way several times. What happened that night?What did you see?Did she hurt you?Was Rose acting a certain way that hinted she was going to do this?The interviewers were stern looking Discipline Pack members who wanted one answer and one answer only. All they want to do is send her straight to one of their merciless prisons with a life sentence. Had she actually killed Kendall, then she would have been sent to an unknown fate in the Vengeance Pack. I shiver at the thought of him alone. Alpha Kaden. Staring into the heartless green eyes of a Discipline Pack member is frightening in itself. They are used to intimidating witnesses, to get the most honest answers out of them. I had no reason to lie for Kendall, which means I split every ounce of evidence I could to them. As I did so it made me think. Would I lie for Zaria

~Aria"I don't know what to do," Zariah says, her index finger playing with the edge of the page.That is the first time I have heard her say those words. The way she bites her lip in thought, her eyebrows creased behind her thick rimmed glasses shows her discontent with herself. For the past hour, she has been thumbing through Malik's diary, not at all fazed by the fact that he knows it has been stolen.Brynn bangs her the back of her head back against the wall. "Who cares?""Me," Zariah snaps, glancing over at me and where I lay back on her bed. "Aria cares too."I'm curious. It isn't the fact that Malik has that, and puts dark red crosses on every girl who has been knocked from the competition, but the fact that all of us have some kind of wealthy background, with a parent or two in high positions. Right now, Zariah's early conspiracies seem more likely."And you never told us you were a billionaire," Zariah says pointedly, shooting a glare toward Brynn, who rolled her eyes."Multi

~Aria I suck in a deep breath, clenching my jaw as I slightly let the door open just a tad.If my guard catches me, I don't have a single excuse lined up to explain where I wanted to go. Somehow it would make it back to the girls, and I would end up being on the chopping block of their latest gossip.Luckily, Ryan, my newest guard was slumped in sleep against the wall, head lulled back with his mouth slightly parted. Malik shouldn't be working them so hard...With steps as little and light as possible, I sneak past the man. He doesn't stir. The moment I turn the first corner, I exhale the breath I had been holding, and quicken my light steps. Who knows how long Malik has been waiting, while I worry in my room about venturing out. It's nearly midnight at this point, and all the other girls are fast asleep. If only they had any idea about what we were up to...Not as if we are getting up to anything scandalous.When I walk into the library, Malik is nowhere to be seen. Fear spikes str
