Chapter Four: 

Karen stood in the training yard, her fists clenched as she watched the werewolf rebels spar with each other. 

She had been training with them for weeks, learning how to harness her inner strength and become a skilled fighter. 

She had grown stronger, both physically and mentally, and had gained the admiration of those around her.

As she watched the rebels, she felt a tap on her shoulder. 

She turned to see Prince Alexander standing behind her, his arms folded across his chest. 

"Can I speak with you, Karen?" he asked.

Karen's heart raced as she followed the prince to a secluded corner of the yard. 

She had heard many rumors about him, but she couldn't deny the attraction she felt toward him. 

She had always been drawn to his quiet intelligence and his piercing blue eyes.

"Karen, I need to tell you something," the prince began. 

"The rumors about me being useless and cruel are not true. I have been faking this image to protect myself and my plans for the future of our kingdom."

Karen's eyes widened in surprise. 

She had always suspected that there was more to the prince than met the eye, but she had never expected him to reveal his true self to her.

"I am intelligent, strategic, and a skilled warrior," the prince continued. 

"But I had to hide these qualities behind a tough exterior to survive in this court."

Karen felt a rush of respect and admiration for the prince. 

She had always believed in being true to herself, and she appreciated the prince's honesty.

"I understand," Karen said. 

"But why are you telling me this now?"

"Because I believe that we could work together, Karen," the prince replied. 

"I know that you are training with the rebels, and I think that together we could bring about change in our kingdom. I want to work with you, Karen, as equals and partners."

Karen's heart swelled with emotion as she looked into the prince's eyes. 

She could see the kindness and caring that he had hidden behind his tough exterior, and she felt a deep connection with him.

"I want to work with you too, Alexander," Karen said. 

"But we need to be careful. Some will stop at nothing to preserve the status quo."

"I know," the prince replied. 

"But we have a chance to create a new future for our people, Karen. Will you join me?"

Karen took a deep breath and looked into the prince's eyes. 

She saw the hope and determination in his gaze, and she knew that he was sincere.

"Yes, Alexander," Karen said. 

"I will join you."

The prince smiled, and Karen felt a rush of warmth spread through her body. 

She knew that this was just the beginning of a long and difficult journey, but she felt ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

As they walked back to the main yard, Karen felt a hand on her shoulder. 

She turned to see one of the rebels standing behind her, a concerned look on his face.

"Karen, we need to talk," he said. 

"There's something you need to know."

Karen felt a chill run down her spine. 

She knew that the rebellion was not without its dangers, and she braced herself for the worst.

"What is it?" she asked.

"It's Jamie," the rebel said. 

"She's been manipulating your fated mate into rejecting you. She's been playing a dangerous game, Karen, and we need to stop her before it's too late."

"I don't understand" Karen had replied shocked. 

"I'm trying to process all of this, Jamie had been behind it all?" Karen questioned with widened eyes.

"I'm afraid so, yes" the rebel agreed.

"No, this can't be true, Jamie is my sister, she would not hurt me" Karen objected. 

"We can confront her" the rebel suggested. 

Karen felt a surge of anger and betrayal as she heard the news. 

She had always suspected that Jamie was jealous of her, but she had never expected her stepsister to betray her in such a way.

"We need to confront her," Karen said. 

"We need to put an end to her manipulations once and for all."

The rebel nodded in agreement, and Karen led the way to Jamie's chambers. 

She knocked on the door, her heart racing as she waited for a response.

After a moment, Jamie opened the door, her expression one of surprise.

"Karen, what are you doing here?" she asked.

"We need to talk," Karen said, her voice cold and controlled.

Jamie's eyes darted nervously between Karen and the rebel, and Karen could see the fear in her stepsister's eyes.

"What's going on?" Jamie asked, her voice trembling.

"You know exactly what's going on, Jamie," Karen replied. 

"You've been manipulating my fated mate, trying to turn him against me."

Jamie's eyes widened in shock, and she took a step back.

"I don't know what you're talking about," she protested.

"You've been playing a dangerous game, Jamie," the rebel interjected. 

"But it's over now. We know what you've been up to, and we won't let you get away with it."

Jamie's face paled, and Karen could see the fear in her stepsister's eyes. 

For a moment, she felt a twinge of pity, but then she remembered all the pain and suffering that Jamie had caused her over the years.

"It's time to face the consequences of your actions, Jamie," Karen said, her voice firm.

Without another word, she and the rebel stepped into Jamie's chambers, ready to confront her and put an end to her manipulations once and for all.

As they entered the room, Karen's heart raced with anticipation. 

She knew that this was a pivotal moment in her journey, and she was determined to see it through to the end.

"Karen, please," Jamie begged, her voice trembling. 

"I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just jealous."

Karen felt a surge of anger as she heard the words. 

She had had enough of Jamie's lies and manipulations, and she was ready to move on with her life.

"It's too late for apologies, Jamie," Karen said. 

"You've caused too much pain and suffering, and it's time to face the consequences."

"Hi, Nikki," Jamie answered inaudibly. "I am here to see Karen…. I was passing by the house so I decided to say hi." Nikki explained. "Oh…oh okay." Jamie stammered. "But what for?" Jamie asked her. " You know… Karen just became the leader of our group. I mean the substitute bride and I decided to visit her." Nikki explained. "Oh, I know that already. The explanations were unnecessary."

Everything happening to Karen seemed like a dream because she felt every day in her life since she became a werewolf always full of surprises. "I am tired of your arrogant self. You always think can change tradition but it is here to stay." Paulo said to Karen. "Pau…Paulo." Karen said. She got tired from the conversation. "I would not watch you stand here and tell me how I need to live my life," Karen told Paulo sternly. "I, Karen will never get married to you because I have never seen you as a partner but as a friend, period," Karen told Paulo seriously. "Oh, wow!" Paulo exclaimed. "You know what, Karen?"
