RAVEN’S POV I couldn’t sleep. Mira had left hours ago after trying to convince me that the fight wouldn’t be a big deal. It been hours since she left, and I still couldn’t sleep. I found myself wandering out of my room to the kitchen, and I was upset because I didn’t want to go there, but there was something pulling me toward the kitchen. Like a something was calling, and I didn’t have a say—I had to answer. On getting to the kitchen, I saw Damien sitting atop the kitchen counter. How dare he? He hadn’t seen me yet, so I turned, ready to tiptoe back to my room. “Come here Raven,” his voice carried effortlessly through the room. “And why would I do that?” I shot back. “Didn’t you come here knowing I was in here?” “How bold of you to imagine I would want to talk to you after what happened today.” “I already told you, Raven I am not giving the t

TWO FATES, ONE THRONE. CHAPTER 25: THE PULL BETWEEN US
CHAPTER 25 RAVEN’S POV Talking to Ophelia always made me feel as though I was talking to my mom. I never met her, but I felt speaking to someone like Ophelia—someone who knew my mom so deeply made me know her a bit. “Hi, sweet girl,” Ophelia said, smiling at me lovingly as I sat beside her on the bed. “We couldn’t finish our conversation the last time. That day, I was going to give you a box.” She moved to grab the box. It was not too small or too large just the perfect size, something that could hold precious things and also fit easily in any hands that wanted to carry it. “What’s in it?” I asked, curiosity gnawed at me. “Some things that belonged to your mother, and things she got for you and your sister when she had you both. They are precious things in it. I want you to have them, because they belong to you.” Tears welled at my eyes. This was the kin
TWO FATES, ONE THRONE. CHAPTER 24: A DEBT LONG OWED
CHAPTER 24DAMIEN’S POVOphelia finally came up to her room, and Raven had to leave to meet her. Still, it was nice to have here just smiling with Vera and me—Like nothing had happened, and we didn’t still have a throne to fight for. Rowan’s words from earlier on stayed with me. He has been revealing a lot to me lately—things I hadn’t expected him to notice, let alone understand.Rowan was one of the quiet ones, the kind you wouldn’t question if you heard they’d been listening to your conversations. He blended in easily. He was the loveable kid, so it was easy for him to get information from people either from speaking directly to them, or simply by passing by unnoticed.I needed to see a healer. One that didn’t work for the palace to have Vera thoroughly checked. I couldn’t believe Rowan’s words. I wasn’t going to accept that Vera was one of the weak links. I didn’t even know how it was possible that she would be a weak wolf when she was born from tw
TWO FATES, ONE THRONE. CHAPTER 23: MOONSWORN
CHAPTER 23 RAVEN’S POV I was exhausted from running, but I didn’t want to stop. I could feel Orion’s eyes on me waiting so he could ask me what was wrong. Rowan’s words from earlier on kept echoing in my ears. There was a possibility I could heal Nan. I had always been able to heal quickly from wounds. I never really thought about it much, but Nan found it strange at first. At some point she just started overlooking it. I was thankful that Damien hadn’t overhead Rowan and my conversation. I could not have him knowing that I could do something that wasn’t common. Another reason why I needed to speak to Orion. So I forced my legs to a halt. Breathing heavily, he was beside me the moment I stopped. “I said you could run when you got better, not right now,” Orion said. “I actually want to talk to you about that, come with me,” I told him while indicating to Mira that I was ready to leave
TWO FATES, ONE THRONE. CHAPTER 22: THE POWER THAT DRAWS THE MOON
CHAPTER 22 DAMIEN’S POV I had the intention of training throughout the day—not because of the assessment but because I was confused and upset. Raven said someone summoned her last night, and I was summoned as well. The only time two people are summoned together is when the Moon is trying to join two people together, or when someone is practicing black magic. The Moon brought mates together or those that were destined to be nebular allies. Raven and I can’t be either. I can’t be her mate because we are cousins, and Raven and I can’t be nebular allies. We had no friendship of any form towards each other. So I was sure someone was practicing black magic. But who could it be, and why bring both of us down to the kitchen. I needed to handle this on my own. Notifying the Council of Elders would not be right. They already saw me as not fit enough to rule. I got into the training grounds and I saw Rowan and Raven talking. Rowan and

CHAPTER 20DAMIEN’S POVRowan was in my room later that night, I was thankful for it. We hadn’t had a chance to talk since everything happened.The silence between us wasn’t awkward—it was heavy, thick with what neither of us had the courage to say aloud. I was grateful he came, even if we were both pretending this wasn’t the beginning of a much larger storm.“You okay?” He asked. “I wanted to talk to you yesterday, but I didn’t find you anywhere. Then I heard the howling. Was that you?”“I am okay, and yes, it was me.”He didn’t believe me. I didn’t expect him to.“Want to talk about it ? The list, I mean?” He asked.“It’s just a list. it doesn’t mean anything.”“You know it means something.”“It doesn’t, I demanded a trial by combat,” I told him.His breath faltered. Not loud—but enough.“You what? Damien, Raven doesn’t know how to fight—not yet you are going to kill her.”“Wasn’t that the plan? That I demand the throne back in a
