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 she would have a target on her head. We could only pray to the goddess that she would consider our sacrifice and not let anything brew between our mate and little brother.
With Rex starting the warrior scholarship, we would make sure to keep him busy and away from our beloved Kiara. Plus, with her friend Jacob back, most likely our little mate and he would be spending more time than her and Rex. As much as that sparked jealousy as well, it was better than the two evils in front of us. It was clear that Jacob kid had a thing for one of the scholarship pups, Kiki’s friend, Cathy; I was ninety-nine percent sure they were mates.
However, the case with Rex still unsettled us, and the fact that our Kiara was still mad at us had been plaguing my and Jayden’s mind. The tears that brimmed her eyes because of our words were daggers to our hearts. She denied seeing us or even talking to us. It had never been like that in the three years she had been here. On top of that, Tim and Chris also gave us a piece of their minds and denied helping us figure out a way to make her forgive us. It took us almost the whole night to figure out a way. When we heard that her family and Jacob would not be able to make it since their portal to the kingdom wasn’t working, we asked the wizard advisor at the castle to open a portal for us to Crescent Haven. We ensured that we brought everyone she held close to her heart back with us. And, it was all worth it; the smile on her face when she saw that pup Jacob’s face eased the pain in our broken hearts. She didn’t know we were close by watching her, but we always had eyes on our beautiful mate. The happiness that shone in her eyes was something that wasn’t always there since she started living at the castle. But what surprised us the most was that when she

thanked Rex for bringing her family over, Rex gave us credit and, on top of that, asked her to forgive us. The little b*stard was an annoying piece of shit, but his words hit our hearts. We were still iffy about his feelings for our mate, but we knew that if push came to shove, he would be there for her, hopefully, more brotherly than romantic. I was broken out of my thought when Scholar Andrew’s voice boomed through the microphone, asking his winning question.
Jayden POV:
“What was the bloodiest single-day battle during the Lycan- wizard divergence wars?” Asked scholar Andrew.
I looked at Kayden, asking if he knew the answer, and he was as blank as me and the rest of the audience. The lycan-wizard war was a topic that wasn’t taught much, and to think they would expect twelve years olds to know such nit-pick details was astonishing.
Our adorable little mate and the pup, Shawn, were neck to neck with the score. Whoever answered this question and got it right would be the Trivia winner. But from the looks on both Kiki’s and the other pup’s faces, they both didn’t know the answer. I could see the anxiety rising in Kiki; my body was pushing me to comfort her and tell her it was okay if she didn’t win. She would always be a winner for me and Kayden no matter what. But we knew that wasn’t possible for at least another six years.

The
uzzer sound went off from that pup, Shawn’s desk. Making everyone, including a pale Kiara, look in his direction. I could hear Kiara’s heartbeat going faster by the second as she gripped the edge of her desk so hard her knuckles were going white. She wasn’t looking in my or Kayden’s direction; I felt if she did, it would help her calm down and reassure her that even if she didn’t win, she would always be the winner for us, of our hearts and souls.
“Umm…ahhh….” the pup stammered out.
“Mr. Ander’s, you have ten more seconds; otherwise, Ms.Middleton will be given a chance.” Scholar Andrew said, clearly annoyed the pup just buzzed the buzzer before Kiara could.
The thought of his actions hurting our mate had my anger slowly grow. If the idiot didn’t know the answer, why the f*ck did he buzz his buzzer.
“Oh yes, um, yes, ahh, the answer is the battle of Armageddon.” Said the pup.
We all looked toward scholar Andrew to see if the pup was
correct or not.
“I’m afraid that is incorrect. Would you like a try, Ms. Middleton.” Said scholar Andrew giving the pup a bored look and looking over to our Kiara expectantly.

As much as we wanted to punch Rex for caging our mate in between his arms and kissing her all over her face, we controlled ourselves and suppressed the growls that were fighting to leave our throats. This was our mate’s day, the day she had worked three long hard years for, and we weren’t going to ruin it because of – our possessiveness.
