Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN
Raven's POV"We had a past," Darian blurted out.He looked incredibly uncomfortable, shifting in his seat like the cushions had suddenly turned into hot coals. Valen wasn’t helping at all; he was leaning back with a smug expression, letting out random chuckles at Darian’s obvious misery.I gave Darian a long, flat look. Okay? I thought. I wasn't naive. I knew a man like Darian hadn't been waiting around for me to appear especially given how old he is. He was a King, and a handsome one at that. It wasn't the fact that he had been with other people that bothered me, it was that it was Celeste. The thought of her hands on him, or him looking at her the way he looked at me, made my stomach turn.But what was done was done."I’ll be back," I told them. I needed to clear the air, and I needed to see that woman one more time before the trial.I walked out of the lounge but halfway down the hall, I realized I had no idea where she actually was. I spun around, marched back, and kicked the loun
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER FORTY-SIX
Raven's POVIt was actually so cute to watch the Kings make up. Seeing Darian and Valen finally sharing a heartwarming moment was almost as shocking as my hair turning purple. Currently, Valen was looking at me with so much shock, his face still flushed from the hug.A soft knock interrupted the moment, and two staff members entered carrying heavy wooden trays of food. They set them on the low table in the center of the lounge, bowed quickly, and scurried out. The smell of roasted meat and fresh bread filled the room, making my stomach growl.Then, Valen’s face exploded into a smirk. It was a slow, dangerous look that made my heart do a nervous little flip. It was my turn to look unsure."Em..." I started, taking a cautious step back.He lunged for me.I let out a shriek and jumped out of reach, scrambling over the arm of a chair. "Valen! Stay back!""Don't run, little mate," he purred, his eyes dark and playful. "I will chase you, and when I catch you..."He left the sentence open-en
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE
Darian's POVToday was the worst day of my life. I’ve faced a lot of dark moments—the weight of a crown I wasn't ready for, the politics of the South, and even the day my father died. But none of those compared to the hollow, icy terror that had gripped me this morning. Standing in that dining room, watching the light fade from Raven’s eyes while I stood there useless... I never wanted to feel that again.That helplessness had turned into a cold, hard resolve. I wasn't going to be merciful. I didn't care that Celeste and I were once close friends. I didn't care that our families had ties going back generations. She had tried to extinguish the soul of my fated mate.Darian. Sage whispered in the back of my mind. My wolf’s voice was uncharacteristically small. She’s fine, right? How about we go check on her again? Just one more time?"I’m sure she’s fine, Sage," I muttered under my breath as I marched through the hallway. "I left her with Valen. He’ll protect her."I was heading toward
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR
Raven's POVMy mind was spinning. Who was I? Was I still the same Raven, or had I turned into someone else entirely?Panic flared in my chest as I remembered Eva. I hurriedly reached into my mind, searching for that familiar presence. To my massive relief, I felt her—but she was distant, like she was curled up at the far end of a long hallway. I couldn't blame her, we had literally just died. The fact that she was there at all was a miracle."Wolf mage," the quiet female Elder said. Her voice was ominous, cutting through the heavy silence of the room.Everyone looked at her, then back at me, as if I were a ticking time bomb. Elder Fabian stroked his chin, his eyes narrowed in curiosity. "So, is it light or dark?"The woman tilted her head, her gaze fixed on the violet glow still fading from my eyes. "I am fairly certain it is light."I was losing my mind. "What is light and dark?" Darian asked, his voice shaking. I was glad he asked, because I couldn't even find my voice to speak."Th
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER FORTY-THREE
Raven's POV I had woken up feeling a strange, bubbling excitement. It was like a bundle of nerves had settled in my stomach, a stone waiting for something big to happen. I didn’t know if it was because the sun was out or because I was heading down to breakfast with both my mates, but I felt good.We were in the dining room already and Valen smiled at me as he passed me a cup of tea. It was my favorite unique flavor, the one that smelled like blueberries. I was so excited to taste it.I took two sips. The flavor was perfect—for about three seconds.Then, a searing heat exploded in my gut. It was like someone had poured liquid fire directly into my stomach. I felt the blood drain from my face instantly."Raven?" Valen called my name, but his voice sounded like it was coming from the end of a very long tunnel.My fingers went numb. I lost my grip on the porcelain cup, and it shattered against the floor, spraying tea and shards of white across the rug. My vision went dark at the edges, a
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER FORTY-TWO
Valen's POV I found Raven in the kitchen, practically slaving away over a cutting board. Her eyes were red and streaming with tears from the onions she was chopping, and I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing at her misery. She looked so pathetic yet so determined that it was almost adorable."Who asked you to do all this?" I asked, leaning against the counter and watching her struggle.She wiped a stray tear with her shoulder, trying not to get onion juice in her eyes. "Nobody asked me. I just wanted to make myself useful. I was starting to feel like a decorative ornament around here."I stepped closer, a teasing smirk on my lips. "There are many other ways to make yourself useful that don’t involve making yourself cry over vegetables, little mate."Raven huffed, throwing a chopped onion piece at me, which I caught easily. "No, I was once used to this kind of work. A few weeks of pampering in this mansion and I’ve become lazy. I need to keep my hands busy.""That was your previous

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
