Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER NINETY-SIX
Valen's POV I opened the folded parchment, and my breath caught in my throat. I immediately recognized the jagged slants of my father's handwriting.Onyx didn't turn away from the window, his voice a raspy, weak whisper filled with deep anguish. "That is the original will our father left behind, Valen. I just... I honestly don't understand why he would do something like this to me." He swallowed hard, his bandaged chest heaving. "He used his dying breath to tell his personal attendant to find that paper and hold onto it at all costs. It meant that even as he was literally bleeding out from the final killing blow you gave him, he still ultimately chose you."I just remained quiet, my fingers gripping the edges of the paper tightly."Despite treating you so coldly throughout your entire childhood, as I heard he did, you were still his one and only true heir," Onyx continued, his eyes remaining fixed on the green fields outside. "I guess that is what made me so mad. That, coupled with
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE
Valen's POV I had been staring at Raven’s peaceful face for over an hour now, my eyes tracing the gentle rise and fall of her chest. She had been sleeping for about twenty hours straight, ever since the violent explosion of magic in the courtyard yesterday. Both Darian and I were getting increasingly worried as the hours ticked by, but Elder Kaelith had assured us that Raven would be fine. She explained that Raven had simply over-exhausted herself, and her internal emotions had been unbalanced by the unchecked rage.It was now the morning of the next day. The three of us were all lying together on the large, comfortable cushions in the main living space of the lounge. I looked across Raven’s sleeping form to Darian, who was lying on her other side. He was already wide awake, his hands tucked behind his head as he stared blankly up at the high ceiling.I swallowed the lump in my throat, my voice a quiet whisper. "I'm sorry about yesterday, Darian."Darian glanced over at me for a fra
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR
Raven’s POV I spun around and entered the house quickly, my feet pounding against the floorboards as I raced up the stairs to the second-floor balcony. I needed a higher vantage point. I quickly found a spot near the edge where I could clearly see both the ongoing fight in the courtyard and the little stream running near the mansion grounds.I scanned the brush line quickly, and sure enough, I found a woman sitting quietly by the water's edge, seemingly looking innocent as if she were just enjoying a morning rest. It was her. She was definitely a mage.My mind scrambled as I watched her. Why would a mage help a wolf like Onyx? Mages were supposed to be impartial, staying out of pack business and choosing no particular side. For centuries, they stayed on their own and only did things for themselves. I wanted to run back down, find Elder Kaelith, and shake some answers out of her, but there was no time.Down in the yard, Onyx rushed Valen again with his long claws extended. Valen mana
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER NINETY-THREE
Raven’s POVElder Kaelith stopped shuffling the small stones on the mat, her eyes locking onto my face. She could easily see that my mood had dampened in a matter of seconds. She frowned, setting a relic down. "What is wrong with you all of a sudden, child?""Valen’s half-brother is here," I said, the words tasting like lead on my tongue. "He just arrived."Elder Kaelith’s face instantly scrunched up in deep dissatisfaction and annoyance. She let out a huff. "Why is he here? He cannot be here for anything good. And didn't those Northern Alphas just leave the mansion grounds a short while ago?"I shook my head, my hands trembling slightly as I pushed myself up from the mat. "They never actually did leave, Elder. They just hid in the forest all night. Anyways, they are back now, and they brought Onyx along with them." I stood up fully, smoothing down my leggings. "I have to go see what is happening out there."Elder Kaelith let out a tired sigh, looking up at me from the mat. "Really? W
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER NINETY-TWO
Darian's POV Valen and I had been called from the lounge to the courtyard to attend to some unexpected new guests at the front gates. I kept my shoulder pressed against his as we walked out onto the stone steps, my guard up. Turns out that it was Valen's half-brother, Onyx, standing tall at the front of the group, with those exact same Northern Alphas gathered behind him.I honestly didn't expect the two brothers to look so much alike, but they totally did. The family resemblance was striking. It was very obvious to anyone watching that they were closely related by blood. But while Valen possessed familiar, kind, dark eyes that always showed his true emotions, Onyx’s eyes looked bottomless, cold, and sinister.Looking at him, I couldn't help but wonder what the hell the boy had gone through to end up this way. He still looked quite lanky, with long, awkward limbs, like he hadn't quite filled into his adult shape or muscle build yet. I frowned, sizing him up. Was this really the ki
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER NINETY-ONE
Raven’s POV I shifted slightly on the woven grass mat, nodding sagely. "So… telekinesis?"Elder Kaelith blinked blankly at me for a few silent seconds, as if the term was beneath her dignity, before she adjusted her posture. "Just listen, child."I sat up even straighter, crossing my ankles and resting my hands on my knees."You can make physical objects respond to you," Elder Kaelith explained, her eyes locking onto mine. "You simply will it to be, exactly like I have instructed you before. The only caveat to this particular practice is mass—either the size or the weight of the object you are trying to manipulate."I nodded slowly, absorbing her words."Every mage has a definitive limit," she continued, her voice steady and clear in the quiet morning air. "There is always a strict limit to what you can successfully control and move around with your mind. This is why some mages are able to perform miraculous healings, while others completely fail at it. Healing is not some magical my
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO
Raven's POV It was past nine in the morning, but the sky had surrendered to a deep, bruised purple that made the world look as dark as six in the evening. A storm was rolling in heavy. Through the walls of the suite, we could hear the mansion staff scurrying about, shutters banging and furniture b
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
Valen's POVYou know, parties are usually my thing. I love anything that loosens inhibitions and actually looks like fun. I like loud music, strong drinks, and the kind of energy that makes your wolf want to howl at the ceiling. But as I looked around at the wolves milling about, trying to maintain

Raven’s POVKing Darian’s hands were steady as he tried to keep me from falling for the third time. At this point, I wasn’t just shocked, I was beyond mortified. I had completely and utterly embarrassed myself in front of the most powerful man in the South. My mind was spinning. The son of my own A
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER FIVE
Raven's POVThe banging on the door sounded like a hammer against my skull. Through the thick wood, I could hear the faint, annoying screech of Miss Freya’s voice telling us to get moving.I groaned and pulled my pillow over my head, but it didn't help. My roommates were already starting to stir. S
