All Chapters of The King's Mate: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Chapter 70POV: Prince Raven PierceAs he walked in front of the make-shift stage – made just in front of the castle, he had this unreadable and stoic-looking face.Everyone shushed as he came to a halt in front of the golden podium, not only out of respect for him, but also because he was now surrounded by a menacing and dark aura, almost identical to the King's. This wasn’t his normal behavior – not in front of everyone. He was always playful and smiling – but totally not today.There were a lot of thoughts that it was because of Shahara - that would explain his sudden change of mood - and it helped them - sort of.But not with the Darkwoods and their allies.He didn’t care less, though.Think of the things that they want to think of. As he faced every pack that had gathered into the castle, Prince Raven let out a menacing smirk in his thoughts.“Good evening, everyone. Before we start with the hunting game, I would like to give some reminders and instructions before this momentous

Chapter 72 POV: Queen Tamara PierceOnly the hooting of the owl was heard in the midst of darkness. It just intensified the heaviness of the tension that was surrounding her and Leah. She didn’t know what the heck had just happened to her. It was like she had suddenly turned into an odd creature – something that she didn’t know what.Leah let out a wicked and low chuckle while staring eerily at her. She could sense that something was up with her. Something dangerous and strong. Something that was out of her league, yet she needed to face.Tamara felt like her heart was hammering inside her ribs too fast and too hard that it hurt her a bit. She swallowed hard as she felt the sudden darkening aura that was surrounding Leah – that it worried her a bit.“This is one of Aeron’s inventions. I just tried it now, but it seemed so effective, huh?” Leah mockingly stated as she suddenly

Chapter 74POV: Prince Raven Pierce“Congratulations. I heard all about it from Elder Zeparu.” He seriously stated as he saw his brother enter the Throne Room.He was sitting in one of the chairs in the room, bored, and cast a quick glance at his brother, who was walking down the red carpet, before looking down at the glass chess board, where he was playing the glass chess pieces—all by himself. He moved the King and let out a deep sigh before he leaned against the seat and intertwined his fingers as he placed his elbows on his knees – while his legs were crossed.Raven stared at his brother intensely – trying to determine what he was thinking right now.And he almost fell from his seat when Hades gave him a small smile. He let out a low curse under his breath as his eyes widened in surprise.One thing that was oddly different to his brother’s attitude was that he never smiled. Well, not after they were already in their teenage years. His brother always became grumpy, menacing, and ru

Chapter 76 POV: Kage Esmeray“You?! Who the heck are you and where did you come from?!” He asked in between his gritting teeth.The woman was wearing a black flowy dress with sleeves that reached her wrists.“Tell me, have you decided to take your own life now?” Her cold voice was making him feel eerie.But he was more attentive to what he was she was babbling about. Kage’s forehead furrowed as he squinted his eyes at her – annoyed at her mischievous remarks.“Why do you care, anyway?” He replied in pure irritation – even rolled his eyes at that.The woman just smirked at him – as if she was never bothered by what he was doing – which was making him more curious as to why she was doing this or why she cared about what he wanted to do with his own life.However, despite the fact that he was preoccupied by that thought, he was more am

Chapter 78POV: ArlanHe instantly got up from the bed where he was lying. It created an eerie creaking sound, and he couldn’t stop himself from shivering at the creepiness of the place.The place was unfamiliar to him. The walls were made of wood, and the countless white candles gave light to the entire room. One corner of the wall had a hanging shelf where peculiar species of insects, roots, and plants were placed inside the jars. When he saw exotic dead animals like toads, rats, snakes, iguanas, and other animals he couldn't look at, he just wanted to puke. They seemed to be preserved, and he was just grateful that they didn’t emit a foul smell.He grunted as he felt the throbbing pain in his back and his vision was slightly blurred, but he tried to know where he was. He felt so disoriented as he held his aching temple. The indistinct weirdness of the place was making him more uncomfortable with every second that he was staying there.There were some old books stored and neatly arr
