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 heart hammering against my ribs.

I scrambled to my paws and looked over at Diane. A huge, battle-scarred gray wolf was standing over her. He was twice the size of any Alpha I had ever seen but not a

  • Mated to Rival Kings   CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR

    Raven’s POV I spun around and entered the house quickly, my feet pounding against the floorboards as I raced up the stairs to the second-floor balcony. I needed a higher vantage point. I quickly found a spot near the edge where I could clearly see both the ongoing fight in the courtyard and the little stream running near the mansion grounds.I scanned the brush line quickly, and sure enough, I found a woman sitting quietly by the water's edge, seemingly looking innocent as if she were just enjoying a morning rest. It was her. She was definitely a mage.My mind scrambled as I watched her. Why would a mage help a wolf like Onyx? Mages were supposed to be impartial, staying out of pack business and choosing no particular side. For centuries, they stayed on their own and only did things for themselves. I wanted to run back down, find Elder Kaelith, and shake some answers out of her, but there was no time.Down in the yard, Onyx rushed Valen again with his long claws extended. Valen mana

    Raven’s POVElder Kaelith stopped shuffling the small stones on the mat, her eyes locking onto my face. She could easily see that my mood had dampened in a matter of seconds. She frowned, setting a relic down. "What is wrong with you all of a sudden, child?""Valen’s half-brother is here," I said, the words tasting like lead on my tongue. "He just arrived."Elder Kaelith’s face instantly scrunched up in deep dissatisfaction and annoyance. She let out a huff. "Why is he here? He cannot be here for anything good. And didn't those Northern Alphas just leave the mansion grounds a short while ago?"I shook my head, my hands trembling slightly as I pushed myself up from the mat. "They never actually did leave, Elder. They just hid in the forest all night. Anyways, they are back now, and they brought Onyx along with them." I stood up fully, smoothing down my leggings. "I have to go see what is happening out there."Elder Kaelith let out a tired sigh, looking up at me from the mat. "Really? W

    Darian's POV Valen and I had been called from the lounge to the courtyard to attend to some unexpected new guests at the front gates. I kept my shoulder pressed against his as we walked out onto the stone steps, my guard up. Turns out that it was Valen's half-brother, Onyx, standing tall at the front of the group, with those exact same Northern Alphas gathered behind him.I honestly didn't expect the two brothers to look so much alike, but they totally did. The family resemblance was striking. It was very obvious to anyone watching that they were closely related by blood. But while Valen possessed familiar, kind, dark eyes that always showed his true emotions, Onyx’s eyes looked bottomless, cold, and sinister.Looking at him, I couldn't help but wonder what the hell the boy had gone through to end up this way. He still looked quite lanky, with long, awkward limbs, like he hadn't quite filled into his adult shape or muscle build yet. I frowned, sizing him up. Was this really the ki

    Raven’s POV I shifted slightly on the woven grass mat, nodding sagely. "So… telekinesis?"Elder Kaelith blinked blankly at me for a few silent seconds, as if the term was beneath her dignity, before she adjusted her posture. "Just listen, child."I sat up even straighter, crossing my ankles and resting my hands on my knees."You can make physical objects respond to you," Elder Kaelith explained, her eyes locking onto mine. "You simply will it to be, exactly like I have instructed you before. The only caveat to this particular practice is mass—either the size or the weight of the object you are trying to manipulate."I nodded slowly, absorbing her words."Every mage has a definitive limit," she continued, her voice steady and clear in the quiet morning air. "There is always a strict limit to what you can successfully control and move around with your mind. This is why some mages are able to perform miraculous healings, while others completely fail at it. Healing is not some magical my

    Raven’s POV From across the room, Darian let out a low chuckle, his voice dripping with amusement. "Just relax, Raven. You know he won't let you go until you give him what he wants."Suddenly, a loud knock came on the lounge door.The three of us paused instantly, our breathing hitching. Valen didn't lower me an inch. He just tilted his head toward the entryway, speaking over his shoulder to Darian. "It's Elder Kaelith. Answer it."As he spoke, his warm, minty breath washed directly over my sensitive core, and a violent tremor ran right through my entire body. My thighs clamped tighter around his neck. Then, my brain finally processed what he had just told Darian to do, and I frantically gripped his thick hair. "Answer it? Are you insane? What if she—"Valen suddenly leaned forward and gave my wet slit a slow, deliberate lick. My voice cut off instantly into a breathless gasp, my mind losing its train of thought as a wave of heat shot straight up my spine.Darian moved casually towar

  • Mated to Rival Kings   CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE

    Raven's POV Elder Kaelith let out a long breath from her mouth. She dropped a small crystal she had been holding back into her lap, her vibrant purple eyes glowing brightly as she looked straight up at me. "Yes, child?" I stepped onto the grass, rubbing my arms. "I felt a strange pull in this direction from the kitchen, so I came out to see what it was." "As expected," Elder Kaelith said, a small smile playing on her lips. "Mages can feel the use of magic around them. The stronger a mage is, the more clearly they feel it, and the more accurate they are in pinpointing the source." She stood up slowly, brushing off her long robes. "This is precisely why I told you not to use your magic recklessly now that you are twenty-one. Your bindings are gone. I have just created a comfortably wide containment barrier around this spot for our daily practice. The master mages already know my magic, so they would not be alerted to anything happening here. Yours, on the other hand, is new, and unk

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, an

    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 b

    Raven's POV The shock was still rushing through my veins. One moment I was being lectured by an older woman about handling a household, and the next, Darian was almost poisoned. A man was even killed right in front of me. I had seen violence before but the speed of it, the absolute lack of hesitat

    Darian's POV My throat was parched. Between the stuffy air of the hall and the endless, circular conversations with my Alphas, I felt like I’d been swallowed by a desert. My men had come to me with the same concerns the advisors had voiced earlier, concerns I had already addressed in my letters, b
