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-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-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-Eight: This Can't Be Fixed So Easily Kiara, at the age of Fourteen Kiara POV: I was running down the corridor when I suddenly bumped into someone, but before I could fall, I was held by a pair of arms. Aiden's pine tree scent wafted through my nose as a fresh stream of tears escaped my eyes. I grabbed him around his neck and cried. Why were the twins so rude to me from time to time again? What have I ever done, or what have they ever had a chance to hear that gave them the right to accuse me of something I'm not constantly? How could I like someone like that when they both did nothing but ridicule me nowadays? What was so wrong with being friends with Aiden and the other guys but not JJ and Rex? And, back then, they didn't even like JJ; I was a kid then and hadn't picked up their attitude towards him, but now when I look back, it's blatant as day how much they didn't like him either but couldn't say anything as they had no grounds and we were children. "K

Chapter Forty: Dream Come True Kiara, at the age of Fourteen Kiara POV: Confused about what to wear as king Kayden and Jayden hadn't told me where we were going, I went with a simple pink dress that fell a little above my knees with white sneakers and did my hair in a ponytail. If there was one thing, more like who, I absolutely missed during my time here in the castle was auntie Meg. She was a second mother to me, she always had my clothes out and did my hair, and now that I have to do it myself, I'm always second-guessing whether what I choose is nice or not. I was scared I would either go too girly with my still lowkey obsession with Disney and bright colours or go completely tomboy because all I have done over the years was spend time with guys around me. I was broken out of thought when I heard a knock on the door. Then it slowly opened, but no one came in. "Can I come in?" I heard Beta Tim say Yelling a yeah, the door opened, and both beta Tim and Gamma Chris stood smi
