All Chapters of Unwanted But Mated To Three Alpha Kings : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Raven's POVI sat on the stone bench at the edge of the training grounds with my feet tucked under me. My eyes were on the gate.Rowan had said he would find me after. That was almost an hour ago.The grounds felt too quiet without him. The wind moved the grass. A bird landed on the wall, looked at me, and flew off again. Even the bird had somewhere to be.I stood up. I couldn't sit still any longer.He had told me to go inside and eat. I wasn't hungry. My stomach was tight, and I kept seeing the way he walked off with his hand pressed to his ribs. He thought I hadn't noticed. I had.I shook my head. Worrying wouldn't help him. And it wouldn't help me.If I wanted to survive here, I had to get stronger. I couldn't waste a free morning.I walked to the center of the grounds. The grass was still damp under my boots. I rolled my sleeves up past my elbows, held my palms out, and closed my eyes.Dew on grass. Don't reach for it. Let it be there.I breathed in and out. I thought of the quie

Ansel's POVShit.I stared at the map, trying to make it make sense.It didn't. Another race crossing into our borders? It was very unlikely. No one had tried in a thousand years.The last war was before any of us were born. Only a few people from that time were still alive. Maya was one of them. The old archives called it the War of Death. The name was honest. Every side had lost people. Whole packs, whole covens, whole bloodlines, gone.After that, the treaty was made, and each race had picked its land and stayed on it. That was how we had lived ever since. It was the only peace any of us had known.Now this.Dead fields. Mindless wolves. Sick pups.I had read about a lot of things in those archives. I had never read about anything like this. That bothered me more than I wanted to admit. I frowned at the black marks and rubbed my jaw.Across the table, Elder Joren cleared his throat."If people are starting to talk, then it is only right that the alphas look into it," he said. "We

Cassandra's POVThe Faun led me out of the swamp and into a small clearing.A cottage stood in the middle of it. It was crooked and old, with moss on the roof and smoke curling from a stone chimney. Jars hung from the porch beams. Some held herbs. Some held things I didn't look at closely."This way, my lady," the Faun said.He didn't stop at the porch. He opened the door himself and walked in ahead of me, as if the house belonged to him too. I followed.The inside was warm and dim. Candles burned on every shelf. The air smelled of dried roots, and something sweeter underneath, like fruit left too long in the sun.A man sat by the hearth with a cup in his hands.The Faun crossed the room and bowed low. "Master. She has come.""So I see," the man said. "Thank you. Wait outside."The Faun bowed again. He gave me one last glance, and his bright eyes flashed. Then he slipped out, and the door shut softly behind him.So this was the one who made the choices. The Faun was only the hand.The

Raven's POV I looked at Rowan's pale face. Then I looked at Maya."I think we should take him to his room," I said. "He needs to rest. You can keep talking while he does."Maya studied me for a moment. Then she nodded. "That is wise."Asher stood. He walked over to the bench and stopped in front of us. His jaw was tight. He didn't say a word. He bent down, slid one arm under Rowan's knees and the other behind his back, and lifted him like he weighed nothing.Rowan's head rolled against his shoulder."I'll go with them," I said.Nobody argued. I got up and walked beside Asher.The corridor was quiet. Our steps echoed on the stone. Asher kept his eyes straight ahead, but I saw how carefully he moved. He didn't jostle Rowan once."He's heavy?" I asked softly."No."That was all he said.We reached Rowan's door. Asher kicked it open with his boot and carried him inside. He laid him on the bed. His hand lingered on Rowan's shoulder. Then he straightened."I'll be back to check on him," he

Raven's POV "Try to make me take one step back," Asher said. "Use whatever you have."I nodded.It was just a push. He was a mountain, but it was only one step. I could do that.He dropped into a loose stance and held his empty hands out at his sides. He didn't even raise his guard.That annoyed me.I ran at him.I hit his chest with both hands and pushed with everything I had. It felt like shoving a wall. He didn't blink. My shoulders jarred, and my boots skidded in the dirt."Again," he said.I backed up and went again. Same result."You're only using your arms.""I know that!""Then use something else."I bit my lip. I dropped lower and drove off my back foot. This time I used my legs. The push came up from the ground, through my hips, into my hands. I felt the difference right away. My body moved more easily than it used to. I was faster. Lighter on my feet.Asher's boots slid. Maybe half an inch."Better," he said.I grinned. "Did I move you?""No."My grin dropped.I tried agai
