LOGINI had so much fun writing this chapter! Aria is finally starting to push back instead of letting Serena walk all over her, and honestly it feels like such a turning point for her. I loved the banter between her, Lila, and Maya—it really shows their friendship and loyalty. Next chapter is going to be full of drama, especially once Serena sees Aria stepping onto her stage. Get ready for sparks to fly!
The one Kai had taken from my bag.The one piece of home I still had.My chest tightened.I reached out slowly, brushing my fingers along its surface. The memory hit immediately, him handing it back to me, and lying to my face that he had bought it. I shook my head as a tear escaped my eyes.I swall
Aria.The phone rang longer than I expected.I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the floor, my fingers gripping the device a little too tightly as I waited. For a second, I thought he wouldn’t pick up. Maybe I had called at the wrong time.Then the line clicked.“Hello?”I let out a small breath
She was calling me.My thumb moved before I could think.I answered on the first ring.“Kai—” Her voice was soft and something warm rushed through me so suddenly it almost hurt more than the pain. My chest tightened again, but this time it wasn’t just agony—it was something else.Relief mixed with d

I had forgotten his name but he stood in front of me now, his face was pale as if he was shocked to see me. Like he hadn’t expected me.For a moment, neither of us moved. Then I noticed it as he raised his hand to tuck something in his pocket. Blood. Both of his hands were bloody and my heart droppe
Kai.I knew where I was the moment I saw the parking lot.Even before I looked down at my hands, smaller, younger, trembling, I knew I was back to where it all started, ten years ago.The air was thick with chaos, the distant sounds of shouting and crashing echoing from the field. Wolves clashed som
AriaThe hall was glowing.Golden chandeliers hung like constellations above our heads, glittering across the high arched ceiling. The scent of polished wood and something floral and expensive perfume hung in the air. The walls were dressed in deep velvet drapes, and the room itself buzzed with quie

I didn’t say anything. I just rubbed her back and let her cry. Sometimes there weren’t words. Sometimes it was just about being there, not running away from someone’s pain.She finally pulled away, wiping at her cheeks and laughing bitterly. “And I was actually starting to like it here. Elliot was b
Aria.The air felt different this morning.There was a buzz in the halls, a kind of low thrum of excitement that seemed to wrap around the school like static.
