Aiden smiled at Carinaâ€™s comment about â€˜respectableâ€™ anarchists. She was right. Most self-proclaimed anarchists did everything possible to avoid being â€˜respectableâ€™. Aiden didnâ€™t believe in anarchy for anarchyâ€™s sake â€“ he just wanted equality from banding segregation. That meant fighting the system, which meant being branded an anarchist. If thatâ€™s what they wanted to call him â€“ then so be it.<br/><br/>He was thrilled to get half of the candy bar. Truth be told, Aiden had another one stashed away upstairs that he was planning to barter with. Having half of Carinaâ€™s too was a real treat. The food they passed out to Omegas was barely edible at all, and certainly didnâ€™t taste good. Aiden smiled again as he took a bite, savoring the taste of real (junk) food.<br/><br/>â€œI canâ€™t tell you all my secrets, then you wouldnâ€™t come hang out,â€ he replied to her question about where the candy came from. â€œLetâ€™s just say that cleaning the Guardâ€™s breakroom has its advantages.â€ He winked before turning to look out the window at the darkened valley beyond. At this hour only a few of the houses still had lights on. A horse winnied in the distance. The moonlight reflected off of a shadowy river that cut through its center. Aiden looked at the peaceful landscape and sighed.<br/><br/>Part of him didnâ€™t want to tell her of his plan since involving her would endanger her. Being an Alpha she could bluff her way out of her reeducation classes and live a normal life again, if she wanted to. At least, Aiden thought so. But there was something about her â€“ the way she talked to Aiden as a human being â€“ that told him she was different. This is the reason he decided to take a chance and get to know her. Now, months later, he was sure that he had a friend he could count on. And perhaps, an accomplice.<br/><br/>â€œI was serious in my note,â€ he said without any hesitation. â€œI've had enough, and I have a plan to get out. But if I tell you, I put you in a lot of danger. If we escape together then I put you in a hell of a lot more danger. Iâ€™m not sure I can do that to you,â€ he said in a genuine tone. â€œIf anything happened to youâ€¦â€ his voice trailed off.
