Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX
Valen's POVI hated how easily Raven’s heat had stripped me of my dignity. Dominant wolves don't go into heat in the traditional sense, but we suffer a mirror of it that was designed to ensure that the species continues. It was a cruel trick of nature. Submissive wolves are most fertile during these days, so the universe makes them irresistibly drawn to us, and us to them.My hands had begun to heal. The skin was knitting back together, and the bones I’d mangled while trying to rip the silver-flecked iron from the wall were clicking back into place. The healing process always itched, but the discomfort was a welcome distraction from the fire in my groin.I looked over at Darian. He was leaning against the stone wall of his cell, looking far too calm. I secretly envied that composure, but I knew it was all a front. If Darian was feeling even a fraction of the hunger clawing at my insides, he was suffering just as much as I was.I started pacing. Two steps, turn. Two steps, turn. The ra
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
Raven's POV The stern-faced housekeeper appeared in my doorway not long after the door had been kicked in. She didn’t look surprised; clearly, the news of the future Queen in heat had traveled through the mansion like wildfire. It was amazing how the Elders had made themselves scarce the moment chaos erupted. I suppose even ancient, powerful wolves didn't want to be caught in the crossfire of two Alpha Kings losing their minds.My skin was still burning from the inside out. When the housekeeper reached out to help me toward the bathroom, my skin reacted painfully to her touch. Everything felt too much and far too sensitive. I extricated myself from her grip as quickly as I could, stumbling into the lounge bathroom where Rowina had already filled the tub.Rowina must have made the bath extremely cold, because the moment I sank into the water, I let out a breath of relief. The icy chill acted like a shock to my system, damping the fire in my blood just enough so I could finally think s
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
Darian's POVMy wolf, Sage, was pacing circles in the back of my mind, his claws almost digging into my consciousness. He was restless, his fur bristling with a tension I couldn’t explain.Sage, what’s wrong? I asked, trying to maintain my own calm.I don’t know, Sage growled back. I just feel strung tight. Like a bow ready to snap. We should go for a run. Now.I looked out the window. The rain had let up, leaving the world in a grey, dripping gloom, but the air was still heavy. I agreed. Maybe a run through the damp forest would settle us both. The kiss with Raven earlier had left me wanting more than I should. I made it as far as the courtyard when the craziest thing happened. Sage started howling and growling, trying to seize control of my human form. This had almost never happened. We had spent years perfecting our composure, building a wall of discipline that most Alphas couldn't dream of. But now, the wall was crumbling.I grabbed my head, groaning as I fought for dominance. Th
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
Raven's POVMy heart raced as my eyes closed and I opened up to Darian. Everything else in the room sort of faded away. Darian didn't hesitate. He leaned in, his tongue sliding past my lips to stroke mine with a slow, deliberate confidence.He tasted like the sweet maple syrup from the pancakes, and his breath was hot against my skin. Oh my Goddess! Was this really happening? My brain felt like it was short-circuiting. What was I supposed to do? Where was I supposed to put my hands?Darian seemed to sense my internal panic. He shifted his weight, his large hand sliding up to cup my jaw possessively. His thumb rubbed my cheek in a soothing rhythm even as he kissed me deeper. His tongue moved with a firm, demanding pace that sent shivers racing down my spine and pooling in my lower belly. I found myself pressing back against him, my own tongue tentatively meeting his.In response, he let out a low vibration in his chest and sucked on my lower lip, tugging just enough to make me let out
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 being moved. This place had stood for centuries, so a bit of wind was nothing new, but the atmosphere felt charged with more than just rain.We all stood up from the rug, the remnants of our pancake breakfast forgotten. Darian stretched his arms over his head. "I’m going to take a bath," he announced."Me too," Valen added immediately.Darian paused, giving him a look of pure, unadulterated disgust. "Excuse me?"Valen shrugged, looking far too casual. "What? We’re both guys, Darian.""The answer is no," Darian said flatly. He turned on his heel and walked toward his room, likely to grab his towel and soaps before Valen could try to follow.Valen watched him go, then dropped back onto the sofa
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
Raven's POVI looked around the dark, freezing forest again, my heart beating against my ribs. I tried to make sense of the landscape, but the shadows seemed to shift whenever I looked at them too closely. Then, suddenly, everything went still. It was an unnatural silence, as if even the air had stopped moving.A steadily growing light appeared in the distance, cutting through the gloom. As the glow intensified, I saw a woman with long, silver hair walking toward me. She was talking to an older woman who shared the same striking shade of hair. My mind immediately flashed back to Alpha Storm. He had that same weird, silver hair color.Does it mean something? I wondered, shivering despite the lack of wind. Is this a memory? Or am I watching something happening right now somewhere else?As they drew closer, their voices became clear."The Kingdom needs a ruler," the first woman said, her voice sounding like the chime of a bell. "The seat has been empty for too long. It is causing a great
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Raven's POV After exactly five minutes, Darian released Valen’s hand with a grimace. He looked at me with a painful, forced smile, his eyes practically twitching. "Happy now?" he asked, rubbing his palm against his trousers as if trying to wipe away the very memory of the contact. "Very," I said,
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Raven's POV Before I could even wrap my head around Diane being dragged out of the mud, a massive human arm wrapped around my middle. With a grunt of effort, I was hauled upward, the suction of the bog popping as I was pulled free. I landed on solid ground, my fur matted with stinking peat and my
Mated to Rival Kings CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Raven’s POVBeing sandwiched between two Kings during a slow dance was an experience I never thought I’d have. I could feel the heat radiating off both of them. Behind me, I could feel the unmistakable bulge of Valen’s hardness pressing against my back, but to my surprise, he wasn't trying to rub l

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
