Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE
Valen's POVI honestly didn’t know how to feel. Since I received Maddox’s letter about Onyx, my step-brother, I had felt a strange sense of being lost. A part of me was absolutely furious—how dare that pup crawl out of the shadows now to stake a claim? But then another part of me felt some pity toward the kid. I knew he likely harbored a mountain of hatred toward me. Given what I had done in the past, I couldn't exactly blame him.Apparently, Onyx had gone to the palace in the North and revealed himself as a son of the late Northern King. I didn’t know how they had managed to prove it but he had been officially accepted as royal blood. Technically, Onyx had no right to the throne. I was the firstborn son. But if my father had left a will saying otherwise… We were all seated around the table in the study, the air thick and quiet as we each lost ourselves in thought. Raven broke the silence first."On what basis would he even be able to take the throne?" she asked, her voice small but
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO
Raven's POV "I have a strong sense of foreboding," Elder Kaelith whispered, her gaze still fixed on the horizon as if she could see a storm brewing that was invisible to me. She finally looked at me, her eyes sharp and urgent. "Come, we must practice. Sit down."I sat. What the Elder said made no sense to me, and I had no idea what to make of her sudden change in mood. I just crossed my legs on the carpet, mimicking her posture, and faced her."The first lesson is to be still and calm," Kaelith said. "Keep your mind blank and your spirit open."Okay, that’s so straightforward, I thought sarcastically. Just stop thinking. Easy.I tried anyway. I placed my palms on my knees and closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. But instead of things becoming calm, I found myself more distracted than ever. Now that I wasn't looking at anything, my other senses seemed to turn up the volume. I could hear Kaelith’s light, rhythmic breathing. I could hear the trees moving gently in the wind and the dist
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE
Raven's POVThe warmth of his skin and the steady beat of his heart against my chest made me warm all over. "Eat something," he whispered. "Don't worry, you will figure it all out."I nodded, my breath hitching as Darian’s hand stayed firmly on the back of my neck. He didn’t let go; instead, his grip tightened just a fraction, a possessive anchor that made my eyes flutter shut. I found myself gravitating closer, my body acting on an instinct that had everything to do with the man holding me.Darian leaned in impossibly close. The world narrowed down to the warmth of his body and the scent of wet earth and rain. He ran his nose slowly along the side of my face, his breath ghosting over my skin."She smells really good today," he murmured, his voice a low, vibrating rumble that I felt in my bones.Before I could process the words, he licked my earlobe, his tongue hot and deliberate. I let out a soft, helpless mewl, my knees turning to liquid. My head fell forward against his shoulder,
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER FIFTY
Raven's POV"What?" I breathed, my eyes going wide. "That’s so cool! You are the first mage I’ve ever met."Without really thinking about it, I did an exaggerated, sweeping bow. "It’s an honor, Elder."Elder Kaelith looked entirely unimpressed. Her purple eyes didn't sparkle with the same excitement mine did. They looked tired, like she had carried the weight of those floating lights for a thousand years. "It’s not as cool as you think, Raven. At least, not in my case."I straightened up, my curiosity piqued. "What do you mean?""I am a mage without active magic," she explained, her voice flat. "I only have it innately. I cannot create power from within myself. I need the assistance of charms and relics already infused with magic from sacred mountains to do even the simplest tasks."I blinked owlishly at her, wondering what kind of new mess this was. "I don't understand.""Just as there are wolves who cannot shift into beasts, there are mages who cannot wield magic independently," she
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER FORTY-NINE
Raven's POV I woke up feeling surprisingly refreshed, despite the chaos of the day before. The first thing I did was head straight for the shower. I had been so exhausted after training that I’d practically collapsed into bed without washing off the grime. As the warm water hit my back, I realized I hadn't heard Valen come upstairs at all last night. I hoped everything was fine and that he hadn't spent the whole night doing something weird.After drying off, I picked out a cream-colored, long flowing gown. It felt light and airy, matching the vibe I wanted to go for today. I twirled in front of the mirror, the hem of the dress fluttering around my ankles. I still wasn't over how amazing it was to have so many pretty clothes at my disposal. It was a far cry from the life I’d lived just a few months ago.I headed downstairs, expecting to see both Kings at the breakfast table. Darian was there, leaning against a chair with a cup of coffee, but Valen was still missing."Morning," I said,
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT
Valen’s POV Spending time with Raven filled me with a special kind of joy that I still wasn’t quite used to. It was like a constant warmth under my skin. After a bit of back-and-forth, she eventually decided to skip the shower for now and do it after training. Darian, looking like he had nothing better to do with his afternoon, decided to tag along as well. We headed down to the training basement. Raven had changed into a pair of shorts that Goddess knows where she got from. They hugged her sumptuous ass deliciously, and I found myself staring a second too long before I caught Darian’s eye. He was standing off to the side, feet apart and arms crossed, looking like a stern soldier reporting for duty. The sun was already setting, casting long shadows through the open space. It was the perfect time for a workout. "So, what are we doing today?" Raven asked. She looked a little nervous, shifting her weight. "I literally almost died this morning. Shouldn't I be resting?" She looked at
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER TWELVE
Raven’s POVThe silence that followed the messenger’s announcement was broken by a sound I didn’t expect. Valen burst into laughter. It was loud and full of mockery. He crossed his arms, his shoulders shaking with amusement as he looked at Darian."Well, well," Valen chuckled, his black eyes dancin
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER ELEVEN
Darian's POV Watching them lead Raven toward the center of the courtyard made my jaw tighten. She looked so small, her eyes darting between me and Valen as the workers guided her toward that ridiculous contraption. It was a cage made of thick, pulsating vines that looked like they had a life of th

Raven's POVThe two Kings were staring at each other like they were ready to burn the whole world down. Darian suddenly decided he was done talking. He ignored Valen completely and started to walk away, still holding my sleeve firmly.Valen’s hand shot out like a snake and grabbed my other sleeve,
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Raven's POVWhen I stepped back into our room, the air felt different. It wasn't the comfortable, messy chatter I was used to. Sheila and Dan were sitting on their beds, and as soon as I walked in, they sat up straight, their eyes wide. They were keeping a strange, respectable distance from me, lik
