Chapter Seventy–Three: I Can’t Be In Bed All Day 

Kiara’s POV: 

Underneath the well–illuminated chandelier, I sat quietly ensconced between Riley and Cathy on the lavish comforter that adorned my bed. The heady mix of antiseptic and the fresh scent of blooming roses from the nearby vase permeated the room, each a sharp contrast to the other 

one a grim reminder of my recent brush with danger, the other a testament to the love and concern that surrounded me. 

My heart pounded a syncopated rhythm, the echo of my mates‘ overbearing insistence on rest still resounding in my mind. Their concern was as real and solid as the room around me, their voices a constant melody in my mind. And yet, it felt smothering, suffocating, their protective instincts tightening around me like a well–meaning yet. unwanted cocoon. 

Running my fingers through my tangled locks, I shifted my gaze to the ornate mirror, catching sight of my reflection. The girl looking back at me bore a haunted look, her skin paler than ever, her eyes holding at touch of fatigue. But beneath that weariness, there was a spark, a glimmer of determination that not even the darkest storm could snuff out. I yearned to regain my routine, to get back to my responsibilities. I

was a queen, after all, and it was high time I started acting like one again. 

Taking a deep breath, I connected to my mates through our mind link. The mental embrace enveloped me with warmth, the familiar sense of belonging comforting me in its familiarity. 

I’m resuming my queen lessons today,‘ I declared with an air of finality. 

The protest that followed was as immediate as it was predictable. 

‘Kiara, sweetheart, you should rest. You’ve been through a traumatic experience,‘ Kayden’s voice echoed in my mind, worry threading through his every word. 

Annoyance flared within me at their over–protectiveness. 

‘If I spend another day confined to these four walls, I might lose my mind,‘ I shot back, my words laced with firm resolve. 

There was a heavy pause, the silent seconds stretching into what felt like hours. Tension crackled within our shared space, filling every corner until I felt their reluctant acceptance. 

“Alright, love. But you have to promise us that you’ll take it easy,” Jayden eventually conceded, his voice heavy with concern. 

A sigh of relief escaped my lips, the promise tumbling from my mind

with a renewed sense of determination. As I took a mental step back, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the balance I needed to keep, a thin line between perseverance and recklessness. The path ahead wasn’t easy, but I was ready to face whatever came next. 

The atmosphere in the bedroom was filled with an anxious sort of energy. The mere thought of returning to my lessons stirred an undercurrent of excitement that reflected on the faces of my two. companions, Cathy and Riley. Their joy was palpable, a gentle happiness radiating from their beings, a stark contrast to the unease that had settled over us during the past few days. 

“Finally!” Cathy exclaimed, her green eyes sparkling. “I thought they’d never let you out of their sight again.” 

I eyerolled my eyes. 

You got that right sista! 

Ever the quiet one, Riley offered a gentle nod of approval, her soft features animated with delight. Yet, a shadow of worry passed over her delicate features, a residual unease from the recent incident. 

“Take it easy, though, Kiki. You know better than anyone else the last effects of wolfsbane.” Riley said as she squeezed my hand. 

I nodded, smiling. 

I was absolutely blessed with amazing friends, mates and family.

Their joy was infectious, a soothing balm to my restlessness. Yet, as much as I craved the return to my routine, I had to address another matter, one that had been gnawing at me for a while. 

Just as Riley was reaching for her phone to summon Christian, my newly appointed personal assistant, I halted her action. 

“Riley, wait,” I said, my voice carrying an unusual seriousness that caught her attention. 

Riley turned to me, her violet eyes filled with surprise and confusion. “What is it, Kiki?” she asked, her hand still hovering mid–air, paused in its trajectory towards her phone. 

Gathering my thoughts, I took a deep breath before declaring my decisio 

“I want you to be my personal assistant, Riley,” I stated, maintaining steady eye contact with her. 

The room fell into a stunned silence. Riley’s eyes widened as her phone slipped from her grip and clattered onto the carpeted floor. 

“You want…what?” She stammered, shock colouring her features. 

It was clear she hadn’t seen that coming.

Unfazed by her surprise, I reaflirmed my declaration. 

“I want you to be my PA. I trust you, and I can’t think of anyone better for this role. I’ll ask Christian to guide you and get you up to speed with everything.” 

Riley looked taken aback, but I could tell the happiness that hid underneath. 

“Kiara, are you sure about this? Maybe you should discuss this with the former queen or maybe your mates?” She suggested her voice a murmur of uncertainty. 

I shook my head, dismissing her worries. 

“Riley, it’s my decision. And I don’t think anyone will have an issue. with it.” I slightly chuckled, “Besides, JJ and Rex also think it’s a great idea. It’s high time we take matters into our own hands.
