Legacy: The Unravelling

XIII

"-I would like your team to start with surveillance and then infiltration.- Hailee said.- Our rangers close to the Wall have sent reports of strange movements from Rhean and we suspect them to be planning something, but before we can send you to do that, we would need to to become acquaintances with Aellan ways.-

-Madam? -Kiara asked, already implying why she was being so secretive about it.-

-No one must know about your mission.-she said.- Which is why you will be accompanying a member of the council and his family as guards because it will imply you all to learn how to navigate this realm.-

-If I am not mistaken, only a few know how to navigate the forest.- Kiara said thoughtfully.-

-Indeed.- she replied.- And it is safe to assume that eventually, the councilman will send you to get training on said navigation.-

-And is this man aware of the mission?-the redhead asked.-

-Only a part of it.- the light blonde said.- And I will need you to do something with your hair.-

-Understood.- the golden-eyed replied, already knowing what and how to deal with it.-"

-Miss, were you listening to me? -asked a petite blonde.-

-No, I am sorry Arya.- Kiara replied.-

-No problem.- she sighed.- Before we continue, I must speak to you in private.-

Curious as to what the girl might wanna talk to her about, she decided to follow her to a lake nearby, taking her surroundings into consideration and when she was satisfied that there were no listeners nearby, she nodded to the girl as a cue for her to speak.

-I know who you are.- she said bluntly.- And I have to deal with the same myself.-

-Sorry? -Kiara asked.-

-Your real name is Kiara Alburg.- she said.- It is obvious just by looking into your eyes and watching your hair colour closely.-

-Your point being? -she asked warily.-

-My name is Aryanna Novack Pearce, Kiara.- the blonde replied.- And I would like to train with you whenever you are free.-

-Nicolai Novack did not have any daughters.- Kiara said.-

-Just like Matthew Alburg only had three children? -the blonde counterattacked.- I know the basics of the story, I have to. Surely as a child that shouldn't have born yourself, you must know.-

-Do the Pearce respect you? -Kiara asked.-

-Only because my mother's twin sister took me in as her own.- Arya mumbled.- If not they would hate me.-

-I know.- Kiara replied.- And you would also be disowned by at least one of your families.-

After thinking about it for a minute Kiara smirked.

-I will do it.- she said causing the blonde to smile at her.- And your secret is safe with me.-

-And your team.- the grey-eyed said.- I trust in Jasper and if he chose to join you then there would not be any problems.-

Now it was Kiara's turn to smile gratefully, and after holding hands they walked back to their original destination, the guest cabin the Alphas were staying.

After a few minutes, they stood in front of the door, listening to Liam's long explanation of why she has been called by 'Mei' ever since they arrived. The redhead decided to ignore the blonde's stare on her and then quietly opened the door, motioning to the blonde to speak when they heard Reyla ask about her.
