-RAINA’S POV-

Ultimately, Valen sighed in surrender and acquiesced with a go-ahead expression. My wolf yipped and warmth curled inside my gut. I wanted to kiss him right then. Too bad every part of me ached, preventing that reality. Additionally, the agonizing sensation from the physical contact would turn that first kiss into nothing more than a horrible memory.

Doing the honors, I announced, since he wouldn't clear the air. "Valen's my mate. That’s why he wants to stay by my side."

    RAINA’S POV“Smile. It's a good day, isn't it?” he jeered, never taking his eyes off mine. His sadistic smile made me shiver. “You know, I really thought this had to be a trap because it was just too easy.”“Why hide? Aren't you brave enough to come at me in your real form?” I twisted hard, slipping free with enough distance as I crouched lowly on the lawn grass.“Well, I had a perfectly good plan, and you're spoiling it.” A menacing smirk bent his lips. “How could I deprive myself of this chance when your force-ripe mate left you so unguarded? How could he make that stupid mistake?”“Aphrodisiac cologne?” I quickly dipped my aching hand into my boot to find my dagger. It slid into my palm as I kept my laser-sharp focus on him. “Even for you, that's low.”“The medallion should have made you succumb to the heat. But now you make everything difficult.” He elongated his claws and lunged, leaving stone cracking and petals flying.I shot up and pivoted, ducking under his arm and driving th

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 359 - RED-HANDED

    RAINA’S POVI gaped at Kain in shock as I placed fingers on my feverish forehead and wiped away the light sweat.I must have heard him wrong. He couldn't possibly be saying what I think he's saying. But his nomadic eyes were locked on mine and all I saw was sincerity. He believed what he was telling me.“I don't give a damn about the PAC. You’re saying this because you want us to break up. Friends don’t wish bad for other, Kain,” I snapped, a little angry, but the way he looked so hurt, I softened my voice, “Your mate will come, and when she does, give her your heart. It’s not meant for me, and you know that as well.”I advised him the best way I could, flipping my hair from my shoulders to massage both sides of my moist neck.With a deep sigh, his gaze went heavenward, and he massaged his jaw. “Usually people get tired when they’ve been fighting for too long. They get tired, Raina. That’s my point.”Silence enveloped us except for the bubbling water from the tanks.With every passing

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 358 - INFECTIOUS

    RAINA’S POVI heightened my guard, let my fork rest on my plate, and leaned back in my chair to slowly look up. I found three of the most respected, well-liked females in Kain’s pack.I blinked. “If you’re here to—”“Stop. We've been dying to say something,” the first one with long black braids said. She put down her plate on the table and clapped her deep-brown hands in excitement. I believe she was Zerika, the Gamma female here. She sported the kind of grin that made people think twice.As always, I have to hear things I didn't want to hear. Thankfully, I’ve grown used to the thorny vines of hurtful words.“Well, we saw…” the brunette fumbled over her words nervously. She was the shortest, with a halo of tight curls and a scar cutting through her left eyebrow.Here it comes, the mockery. I couldn’t show any weakness, or they would pick me apart like easy prey.“Don't stall, Anlyn. Just handle it my way,” the second blonde, Seokee, was the Beta-female. She was freckled, pale, with a

    RAINA’S POV “Luna, did the wolf find his mate?” A little blonde girl with double twisted buns tugged the side of my blue skirt, looking up at me.I was in the children's section of the cyan quarantine tents that were set up at Kain’s pack.I glanced down at her cute, round face as I closed the storybook and patted her head. “Of course, he did.”“Where's that part of the story? You can’t stop it after the war,” a gap-toothed boy with bright, curious eyes blurted, sitting cross-legged on a rumpled blue sleeping bag.They were all sitting up in the same positions. There weren't enough beds, so we improvised. We had to find ways to keep them entertained until they recovered to go home to their parents.“That is because with stories like these, we create our own endings,” I said, appealing to their creative minds as I found his amber eyes.“But how do you know Luna?” A tiny girl with two puffed pigtails leaned forward, her brows pinched in worry.“What would she look like?” Another little

    RAINA’S POV“If it comes to it, Raina, yes, I’ll give it up.” Valen raised a hand to my cheek, brushing his thumb across my skin.“You can’t give up your birthright,” I disagreed strongly, shaking my head. “You’re the king that the realm needs. You have done a lot for this pack and the alphas. They’d be foolish to replace you. Coming at you would give Dymian every opening he would need to destroy us. Valen, please.”“Not if it’s asking me to abandon everything that matters to me,” he said, low and unwavering. “You are my world.”I was still shaking my head when his other hand came to my next cheek, tenderly caressing both sides of my face with tingles.Valen chuckled, his eyes twinkling in humor, amused at something. “Right about now, the Elders are going to be breathing down Dad’s neck, and my father’s too busy for council matters. Mom’s not here anyway. They’ll be miserable for a while. ”“What about Connery?” I asked, my chest tightening at the thought of the PAC that was forcing u

    RAINA’S POVValen’s voice came like a crack of thunder. “The coyolxauhqui stone at the ritual temple responds to my fated mate. That alone should secure her position.”“You cannot blow off the Alphas now against your bond,” Elder Sybil contended, gesticulating with her hands. “Strength on the throne is what they crave, and so, the position of our future queen is of grave concern.”This was as insulting as it was infuriating. I have been patient. I have been understanding, but now, my blood is just boiling.“Why can’t you understand?” I asked, dropping my hand from Valen’s torso and turning to them. “It's not about the title. It's not about power. It's not about position. It's about love. Valen and I will fight for each other,” I asserted and vowed, “Because we’re carving out our own place in the world, on our own terms. That’s what our bond stands for. We chose each other, and we are standing together. Literally.”“Excuse me?” Elder George’s eyes sharpened in warning when we looked at
