Chapter Forty–Three: I Have To Go 

Kiara, at the age of fifteen 

Kiara POV: 

I took a deep breath, closing my eyes and remembering the achievement party that was held last night. After the twins had dropped me off in my room, where I had cried my eyes out for my aching heart, I had got ready for the party with the bit of energy I had left. I didn’t get why they had taken me into that room meant for their mate and luna, and then later, when I went down to the party, they hardly looked my way. They had only acknowledged me when they went around congratulating everyone who had graduated from the scholarship. They were so hot and cold. One second it felt like I was their world. The next, they acted as if I didn’t even matter. I could have been mistaken over the years that they felt something for me, but last night it was clear as day as they took care of me, bandaging my wounds, soothing me and telling me how proud they were of me that there was more to their feelings then they let on. They were giving me whiplash. Why couldn’t they just be consistent with me? Either be nice. or distant; honestly, I didn’t care anymore at this point in my life, I just wanted consistency. 

The other thing that plagued my mind was how they reacted when Aiden approached me yesterday and danced with me. I didn’t need to turn around to know the heated gaze was coming from them. Even Rex and JJ were giving him the death stare. I couldn’t get all their problems, Aiden was an amazing person, and I wasn’t going to break my bond with him because something was up all their butts. It was when Beta Tim had called me over to talk that I left Aiden’s side. I wanted to 

spend as much time as possible with him. I was returning to Crescent Haven today and had no clue when I would get to meet him again since he had to return to his pack and start his alpha training. I would miss him insanely. He was my rock beside JJ and Rex. I didn’t have many friends and had no clue what it would be like when I got home. I wanted to hold the few close friends I had near to my heart and cherish all the memories we made because I wasn’t sure when we would all meet again. That friend list used to include king Kayden and Jayden as well, but I honestly didn’t know what they were anymore; in their case, I didn’t know, but for me, it was clear as day what they meant to me. They were heaven and hell all at the same time. 

I exhaled and opened my eyes, taking in the suitcase before me as I zipped it up and looked around the room. I had lived here for almost six and a half years. This room and palace had become my home, far away from home I can’t help but feel like I’m leaving behind such a big part of myself. Even though I’m ecstatic to meet my parents and brothers and live with them again, I can’t help but feel the emptiness in my heart taking over as I look over this room one last time. I wasn’t coming back here if, by some miracle I was it was probably because I was Rex’s mate, and that was a big maybe, I doubted it, though. A few years ago, the idea seemed amazing, but as we got older, I could tell he wasn’t the one anymore, not to mention one morning, he decided I was his little sister and never used the word mates in front of me again. I had never asked him why he changed his mind; growing up, he always used to say we were mates, but I was genuinely curious about what made him change his mind; I would ask him one day. I was broken out 

of my thoughts when I heard someone clear their throat behind me, making me turn towards the door.

“You know, Kiara. I didn’t peg you to be that big of a crier,” Aiden said, smirking at me. 

I couldn’t help but chuckle as I dried my tears and went toward him to hug him one last time. He had mentioned he would come to meet me in my room before I left the party last night since he didn’t want everyone huffing and puffing and seeing us together when we said our goodbyes. I didn’t like everyone’s reaction towards him, but there wasn’t much I could do, plus I didn’t want to leave trouble behind for him, so I agreed. 

“As much of an ass you are, I’m going to miss you insanely. Thank you, Aiden, for everything. For being there when I fell to being my shoulder and friend that I could only imagine gaining.” I said as I hugged him tightly. 

He smelt like freshly cut grass, it was good, but nothing beat the twins‘ musky scent. Crap! Don’t think of them, Kiara. You’re only hurting yourself. 

Aiden squeezed me as he put his nose in my hair, smelling me. This was something intimate, and honestly, I didn’t like it all that much. I knew Aiden meant no harm, so I let go, plus he hardly did it.
