Chapter Fifty-One: Scavenger Hunt Kiara, at the age of Seventeen Four days before her eighteenth birthday Kiara POV: Why was I always weak when it came to Jayden and Kayden? It had taken everything in me to avoid them the last couple of days after what they had done with the whole Aiden drama. To top it off, JJ and Rex even thought Kayden and Jayden were right and that Aiden was bad news. Yeah, okay, it was weird to see Aiden's reaction toward Kayden and Jayden and my feelings toward them. I had known him for years; he had never been like that. Rex was hell-bent on believing, and so was JJ, that Aiden had feelings for me more than that for a friend. Yeah! Bullshit! I would've noticed, right? Anyhow, I was doing just fine, minding my own business and keeping my distance from all the oppressive males in my life, which included beta Tim and gamma Chris. It was fine growing up that they all had something to say or give advice, but now it was getting out of hand. Like seriously, I

Chapter Fifty-Three: The Countdown Begins Eve of Kiara's eighteenth birthday Kiara POV: I stretched out in bed as I smiled, remembering the past three days. They had nothing but magical after I had slept between Kayden and Jayden's arms in the hammock. Their magnificent scent surrounded me, and the jolts of electricity surging through me with every touch were magical. I could've stayed there forever. I wanted the moment never to end because there was no way to know that this wasn't a passing obsession or phase. Deep down, I knew it wasn't all the signs there, but then there was the question of why not hint towards us being destined, mates. I get they couldn't tell me, but some indication could help my anxiety to rest. Plus, there was this thing with them being so volatile. They could be so loving and understanding one second, but the next, poof, all the understanding and love went out the window, and the ruthless twin alpha kings were left, who always ended up hurting me so

Chapter Fifty-Five: The Shift Kiara's eighteenth birthday Kiara POV: "Shit, Kiki, your shifting." I heard Helix say But nothing registered as I let out an ear-splitting scream. Someone picked me up; electricity that I had never felt before surged through me as I felt another disk in my spine rearrange—making me scream again. "We got you, love; we got you." "Hold on, baby. We're taking you to the field under the moonlight." The world blurred and spun as the pain seemed to intensify with each passing second. My skin felt as if it were on fire, my body contorting in ways that were both terrifying and unbearable. I was dimly aware of being carried, of the gentle, soothing voices that tried to comfort me. "We're here, love," Kayden's voice echoed in my ears. His voice trembling with suppressed worry. I was gently set down onto the cool grass, the night air doing little to soothe the burning sensation spreading through my body. "Baby,This is what we've been waiting for. We

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Mated and Marked Part Two Kiara's POV: Kayden and Jayden's words echoed in my mind as they feasted on my skin. I was still in a daze from the fact that they were my mates. Yes! The signs were all there the past few days, but there was also a little doubt about the what if's. But now, as I lay on the bed that was made for their mate, for me, I couldn't help but hold the tears at bay. This was all for me; everything they had done had been for me. I had so many questions which I would ask soon. Right now, all I wanted was for them to claim, mark, mate, and make me theirs wholly. I felt Kayden nip the base of my throat and shoulder where he would mark me soon as he slowly trailed kisses all the way up to the shell of my ear and then held my cheek in his palm and looked down into my eyes. So many words were said without being said as he stroked my lips with his thumb and then bent down as he claimed my lips again. My lips instinctively opened for him. He shoved his

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Luna Queen Kiara's POV: Arm in arm with my mates, Kayden on my right and Jayden on my left, we descended the grand staircase, heading towards the dining room. The hallway was alive with vibrant chatter and the clinking of glassware. I felt a flutter of anticipation stir in my stomach. My heart pounded in my chest as we neared the dining room, the beautifully carved wooden doors opening to reveal a large, bustling room filled with people who were dear to me. The long mahogany table was set with an array of delicious foods, the aroma wafting through the room, making my stomach rumble in delight. My parents, Alpha Albert and Luna Clarise, sat at the end of the table. My father, tall and broad-shouldered with an aura of authority, had a soft smile playing on his lips. His eyes twinkled with paternal pride as he beheld his little girl, now a woman and a queen. My mother, beautiful as ever with her honey-blond hair and soft, compassionate eyes, had a
