Chapter Twenty-Nine: Controlling Everything In Us Kiara, at age twelve Kayden POV: Three years had flown by, and to say they were hard as fuck was the biggest understatement of the fucking decade. Three years of having our beloved mate but admiring her from afar was hard as fuck. Seeing her grow into the intelligent person she was, and not to mention the mature young lady she had become just at the age of twelve, was mind baffling. Our Kiara was beautiful, our little pup mate. It was hard having her around and not being close to her; we had to watch her laugh and be close to the other male wolves from afar, always keeping our distance for her safety. Even though it was harmless, our possessiveness got the best of us, and even though we weren't proud of it, we came up with a way to get rid of the unwanted male attention. This year we added the disqualification of students among the scholarship, eliminating students based on their term exams. We really hadn't thought that the maj
Chapter Thirty-One: Trivia Part One Kiara, at age twelve Kiara POV: King Kayden and King Jayden's words played in my head like a broken record all night. The venom, the hostility in their voices and the anger in their eyes flashed in front of me repeatedly. How could they say something so shallow like that to me? And why were we even a target of their hostility in the first place? They had told us countless times that we needed to take breaks when we studied to make sure we weren't overwhelmed, and when we did, they decided to go bum-crap crazy on us. On top of that, why would they embarrass Rex like that in front of us all? Rex was the most hardworking person I knew. He looked up to his brothers, and what they did was horrible; they literally yelled at him in front of other people; he was a prince as well and had to be respected. You could tell how hurt he was. It was his bummed expression that made me answer back to king Jayden and king Kayden, which I had never done before yes
Chapter Thirty-Two: We're Sorry Kiara, at the age of twelve Kayden POV: It was down to the last question. Our little mate and the other pup, Shawn, were left for the final round. Kiki's friends had not made it to the final round. You could see the hurt in our little mate's eyes when the Scholar Andrew announced the first tier of results. It took everything in Jayden and me not to go over there and comfort our brave little mate. We could see the tears gathering in her eyes, but we stayed back and let that pup, Jacob and Rex console her. Seeing our little Kiara so close to Rex and Rex her was hard. Especially now that we knew his intentions of him wanting our mate to be his mate, we knew that wasn't the case, but that didn't stop the fact that our little Kiara could fall for our little brother. We wanted to tell her to tell the world that she was ours, mine and Jayden, our future Luna queen, but the risk was too high. One slip on the tongue by either her or Rex or anyone, and s
Chapter Thirty-Three: Warrior Scholarship Try-Outs Kiara, at the age of twelve Kiara POV: I took deep breaths as I waited in the tent for the contestants. It was the day of the trials for the warrior scholarship, and to say I was pooping bricks was an understatement: I was terrified. I wanted nothing more than to do good in this and be one of the thirteen students. The competition was tough; out of the thirteen seats, only two were given to she-wolves, and the rest were males. Rex, JJ and four more boys had already been awarded the scholarship; therefore, the rest of the spots were determined on your results of the trials. I was a fact and numbers person, but I wasn't sure about fighting. Beta Tim and Gamma Chris had said I was amazing. Over the years here, they had been training me, getting me ready for the trails, but I was scared regardless of all that time spent training. What if I failed? What if someone else was chosen other than me? The thought of being unable to do th
Chapter Thirty-Four: We're In This Together Kiara, at the age of twelve Kiara POV: Panting, I dropped dead on the floor in the participant tent. Beta Tim and Gamma Chris weren't kidding when they said the kings wouldnt go easy on me. They had me run twenty miles around the grounds in under seven minutes. They gave me three minutes to develop the offence and defence battle strategy, given a scenario we were under attack; they made me run an obstacle course in ten minutes, dodging warriors' attacks and weapons, climbing over walls, jumping and using weapons. But if that wasn't enough to end it all, they had me spar with another she-wolf candidate, and at the absolute end, they had me spar with them, which was next to impossible since they were giants compared to me. The only hit I could get in was on their legs. And to top that off, they had even shifted into their wolves. But what caught me off guard was that whenever I tried to get a shot in on their wolves, they used to discre
Chapter Thirty-Five: We're In This Together Kiara, at the age of twelve Kiara POV: I twirled around in my knee-length red dress, giggling. I was twelve years old and a pre-mature scholar but the joys that these simple things like dressing up as a princess always warmed my heart. As always, Auntie Meg had done a great job; she made my hair in a waterfall braid and even put on some blush and nude lipgloss. It was the first time I had done makeup. Cathy always wanted me to do it, but I was always scared I would look bad; even today, I was hesitant. If it weren't for my uttermost trust in auntie Meg, I would never let her put anything on my face. As for the dress, it was a gift from Rex's mom: a congratulatory gift for my warrior scholarship. Over the years here, whenever I missed mom and dad back home, the former luna queen and the alpha king always stepped up, making me feel special. Whether taking a walk with the former luna queen or taking me shopping alongside Rex, they always
Chapter Thirty-Six: Aiden and Me Kiara, at the age of Fourteen Kiara POV:"Is this what we taught you, Kiara? Could you hurry up and pin him? What's taking so long." I heard one of my warrior instructors grumble from the sidelinesI huffed! He was more distracting than helping. "What's the wrong cupcake? Can't even get a hit in?" Said Aiden, wearing his coacky smirk Goddess! I wanted to punch his teeth as much as I adored the guy. "You got this, kiki. Focus on your pressure point." I heard Rex and JJ yell from the other side of the sparring circle. Taking a deep breath and closing my eyes for a second, I calmed myself down and focused on Aiden's movements. Over the years sparing with him, I had picked up his weak points and tactics. I knew when he tapped his right foot he was about to punch on the left side. I punched his right side in the hope of him shielding with his left hand, and he took the bait. Sliding my foot under his legs, he lost his balance which gave me enough t
Chapter Thirty-Seven: You Need To Be Responsible Kiara, at the age of Fourteen Kiara POV: Taking a deep breath and calming my nerves down because of the whole drama with Aiden and Rex, I opened the door and went inside. The scent of musk that I had picked up as their familiar scent invaded my nose and had me forgetting about the whole drama at the field for a few minutes. However, the happy, calming moment I was having was gone when I looked up and locked eyes with the twins, and I swear on everything sugary, they were pissed. Perfect! I didn't even do anything this time. Honestly, I sometimes felt like they had it out for Aiden and me. I may be getting ahead of myself and assuming that what happened downstairs was the reason for the attitude. But I could bet on my scholar standing; it was about that. Even if they were in different multiverses, these two knew everything and anything that Aiden and I did. At first, I was like, maybe they were protective friends, elder broth
