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 sidelines
I 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
as
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 time to backflip on top of his back as he fell to the floor with me on top of him. Quickly laying down, I put his neck in a chock hold between my thighs just like Rex had taught me till Gamma Chris tapped him out and declared me the winner.
I could hear the cheer and hoots of my name around the field as I got off from Aiden and gave him the same smirk he gave me not even five minutes ago as I helped him up.
“You know I let you win, right, cupcake? Don’t be so happy.” Said. Aiden as he shoved my shoulder, smiling
“Ahan, I’m sure tough guy,” I said
He chuckled, then gave me another smirk and bent down to whisper in
my car
“All good, cupcake. I got to be between those thighs. What’s a better way to suffocate.” He whispered
Which had me blush and look at him, horrified, which earned me a wink and chuckle from him. I shoved his shoulder and shook my head, chuckling at his stupidity. After we had met at the party two years ago, we had hit off. So much so that I would spend more time with him than JJ and Rex, which might be the reason why they both hated him so
much. However, I felt like there was another reason for their hate. especially Rex’s. But no matter how often I asked, they never told me the real reason.
What surprised me was that as the months went by and Rex had turned fourteen, he had stopped proposing that I could be his mate: he became more of a protector, just like JJ. Which I found weird, not that it hurt or anything, that he thought we weren’t mates because as time passed. I knew we weren’t. The feelings there were platonic. However, when Aiden had jokingly mentioned once I was his mate, Rex had lost it. they both ended up in a fight that had hurt Aiden quite a bit compared to Rex since obviously he had roval alpha blood in him. It took me a solid five minutes to separate them, threatening Rex never to talk to him again if he didn’t let Aiden go. If it wasn’t for King Kayden and King Jayden showing up, I was sure Rex would be ready to send Aiden to the hospital.
Speaking of King Kayden and King Jayden, my feelings had been growing for them, and I was ashamed to say I was starting to see them more than my kings and friends. As time passed, my attraction towards them increased: however, no one knew that, not even JJ. To top it off. they had started making more appearances, not like every day, but I saw them at least three times a week now, which was way more than I had seen them over the years, which was like once a week. I should’ve been happy, but I was not; I wanted them to focus on me every time I saw them, but that was not the case. It also didn’t help that I started seeing them with many of the council members‘ daughters. During my scholar scholarship. I hardly saw them with any females, but now, they have a girl with them almost every time I see them. I knew it wasn’t my place to be mad, but I was, my heart refused to listen to reason. At this point, I had tried to avoid them. But they always found a way to talk to me, either calling me over to ask how I was or coming to watch our sparing matches. They even sometimes came over to my room to chat,
which I loved and hated all at the same time. At one point, it seemed as if they cared, but the other moment it was like they only cared about the girls they were parading around.
However, as much as I adored them, I had been annoyed by them since that night two years ago when they had snarled at Aiden for kissing my check. Ever since that, it was like they had it out for Aiden. Every turn. they could, they taunted him when they watched our training. I don’t know if it was just me, but they always tried to keep me away from him. I had even Beta Tim and Gamma Chris also trying to split us. I didn’t get what everyone’s problem was. Aiden was an amazing person, he made crude jokes here and there, but I was sure it was all in the name of fun. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard two growls come from the front of us, and I was pulled from Aiden’s arm and into
Rex’s arms.
“Watch your tongue Black, or I swear to the goddess you’ll be black and blue,” Snarled Rex
“You’re getting way ahead of yourselves. Don’t you have any respect?” Snarled JJ, coming and standing next to Rex
“Prince or not, you get into my face, I’ll knock your ass down.” Hissed Aiden
I sighed! I was so tired of all these three arguing all the damn time over me and my feelings when there was nothing to fight about because Aiden’s words never did offend me, plus I knew it was all for fun. But, these three were like bulls in a china shop. I saw Beta Tim look in our direction from the corner of my eye; he looked pissed off. I struggled out of Rex’s grip, which he let go of when I gave him the stink eye. I
stood in between the three and glared at all of them.
“Kiki. I thought…” Rex said, but I cut him off
“That’s the thing you all don’t understand or think. Why can’t you all get along? I didn’t mind what Aiden said because he didn’t mean it.” I
sneered at Rex and JJ
I saw Aiden smirk in their direction from the corner of my eye. Turning around and putting my arms on my hips, I looked at him with the same hostility I did JJ and Rex.
“And you! Rex is your prince, and no matter what, you don’t talk to him or anyone like that. What is it with you guys and all this male mumbo–jumbo.” I seethed
Just as he was about to say something, Beta Tim came and stood in front of us, looking as pissed off as Rex.
“As much as I recall, you four are here to learn not to waste all our time. Ten laps of the castle now.” Said, Beta Tim
I groaned internally. I was exhausted. The castle was made over twenty acres of land. It would take at least an hour to finish those laps. Not having much choice, we silently grumbled and left to finish the laps; however, I stopped and turned when I heard Beta Tim call out to me.
“Not you, Kiara. King Jayden and King Kayden want you in their office right now.” Said, Beta Tim
This time I groaned loudly, which had Beta Tim raise his eyebrows as he tried his best to control his smile.
“Be a careful little queen. They seem to be angry about something.” Said, Beta Tim
“Probably because their girl of the day didn’t show up,” I said, rolling
my eyes
This time he actually laughed and ushered me away. I giggled event though the thought of different she–wolves being with them hurt my heart.
After fifteen minutes, I was in front of their conjoined office. Taking a deep breath, I knocked on their door, entering when I heard their gruff voices telling me to.
