Kaira had grown surprisingly close to Valerie. At first, she had been distant, almost cold, but somehow, Kaira had broken through that barrier, and before Kaira knew it, they had become friends.
Even though Valerie didn't speak much about her personal life, Kaira knew she was engaged—to a man who wasn't just her fiancé but also her best friend.
At first, Kaira had wanted Valerie to leave him. She had thought Valerie would be better off with her older brother, Glade. But lately, she had been hearing more and more about this man—Austin. Stories of his strength, his bravery. He had been chosen for the tournament, won his first match, and even stood against the demonic army.

That was why Kaira was so curious. She wanted to see for herself just how strong he was.
"You shouldn't bother our guest, Kaira."
