MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 14 - ADMIT IT
-VALEN’S POV- Painstakingly, I had to leave Raina to collect the necklace from Miriam. It's very beautiful and I think she will especially like the gold chain that goes with the pendant. She's pissed that I left in the middle of our conversation, but I presumed that the necklace might essentially come in handy. Taking all precautions was necessary. I'll protect her with my life. We can't live like this. Her tiny voice replayed in my head. It's true, I will not deny it. Also, it left me speechless. The truth of the matter was that I was addicted to her. As daunting as the separation was, she had no idea how I zealously aimed to be her everything. I wanted to kiss her frown away and soothe all her discomfort. Tingles shoot all over my body despite barely touching, and that would be the mate bond declaring that she's the one. Perfectly born to complete me. It hammered my fucking soul that I couldn't walk with her cradled in my arms from the hospital. Currently, I was on the ground f

VALEN’S POV What on earth was this attitude for? For a long suspended moment, I was left frozen in my spot, contemplating the best course of action to defrost the fiery darts she was pointing at me. My wolf wildly circled my head as he understood our predicament. The plight had him acting like he was pmsing. He jumped around and scratched in my head irrepressibly. With Raina, he exclusively displayed this unruly behavior. Naturally, at her discomfort, his initial reaction would always be to caress her. It made being around her hard, but being away from her was even more challenging. “Calm down, Zeus,” I warned, and blocked him out to obstruct the control he was tackling me to have his way in touching Raina. “Don’t pretend that you don’t want to hold her,” he yapped. “My forearms are empty and just waiting for her to live in them.” “I do understand, but you know the dangers. Stop behaving like a drunk nutjob.” I scolded and pushed him into a dark corner since he would not comport

-VALEN’S POV- Vaheed and Zack. I snorted with one-half of my upper lip tightened upward. With every breath, a rolling rumble resonated in the hallway, coming from my chest. “Alpha.” Zack's short, greasy, titian, spiky hair seemed arrow straight in the air, shaking as his triangular, Sacramento green eyes enlarged in surprise at my untold rage. My brother was being a stubborn asshole and now was an appropriate time for my fist to send him through the fucking wall. With the assumption that they were here to see Raina, the fury that went skipping from my system now found its way back into my blood, killing the teeny patience that I had for my brother. "If it isn't Tweedledee……." I scowled at my brother with bitterness, "....and Tweedledum," I did the same with Zack. "Raina's entitled to visitors and you're standing in my way." Vaheed retorted without moving an inch. His icy glare constantly contradicting and rebelling against mine. "Young Alpha, I brought school notes for Raina."

-VALEN’S POV- “Everyone, back to work!” Dad boomed at the hospital staff, sweeping his eyes around as they briskly went to their assigned stations. Then he shouted at me, “Are you out of your fucking mind?” Vaheed’s scars showed pink flesh from the regeneration process of his alpha bloodline. My wolf and I were not satisfied. Zeus growled within me. He disliked that our father intervened and hindered the deadly outcome that he planned for him. Like clawing off his dick and throwing it in the sea to the tiger sharks. Any male going near Raina who was not a relative angered us. Yes, my wolf wanted my brother dead and gnashed his canines in staunch opposition. “Boy, put your teeth back! I won’t tolerate this from either of you.” Dad’s emerald eyes found Devin with his heavy foot on Zack’s back. “Release him, Beta.” Devin obeyed and stood at ease. Luck was on Zack’s side today, and he galloped away without regard for Vaheed. Some wuss of a friend he was. “Don’t tell me that this is

-RAINA’S POV- "How could you do this to us?!" My shrilling voice echoed in my head like a broken record. The annoying repetition pounded my cranium. Everything around me was a gloomy veil. Brooding silhouettes of the enemy stood tall. Death’s red ink soaked the earth’s floor. I was on a plane of darkness, of death. Black grainy mist permeated the air where wolves could no longer abide. This mournful plain rendered sadness on a platter. The tragedy devoured me. Nevertheless, all my kind who experienced the negative ether of this world had bound their hearts and souls to that of Earth's realm as I witnessed souls rising from bodies, thinning out, before vanishing. Hidden was the light. There is no gateway to rebirth. As the black gritty mist ate away at the body's flesh, the white bones fell back to the ground. The apex predator has brought genocide. It was suffocating. My throat was clogged like a toilet. Even a cough was hard to escape. My heart bled. My hand covered my mouth as

-RAINA’S POV- Nothing is impossible. Luna Sianna left me with those words after she expressed her disappointment about my downcast view regarding my mate bond. Can you blame me? Unfortunate soulmates are two people joined by a mate bond but not intended to be together. Though it might be too early to determine that. The appearance of Azara and Venus re-entering the room wiped all blizzarding thoughts from my head. "I can't wait to get the hell out of this hospital," I complained to my girls, scrunching my face. Haphazardly, I flopped my back down on the bed. “Ow!” These four walls were an imprisonment for anxiety attacks and nightmares. I was a very active person in comparison to being bedridden for almost twenty-four hours. I missed training with my Dad, kicking male warriors' asses, hanging with the gang, and being free to do whatever and wherever. Venus, Azara, and I were rather outgoing. We were the girls to invite if you wanted your party to be a blast. Displaying major conc

-RAINA’S POV- "This way." Elder Miriam beckoned us and guided Devin inside the enchanted circle of the ritual temple floor, which was just below the white marble stone altar. Gently, his arms lowered and positioned me to lay on my back in the center of the pack insignia. It was already prepped and thus glowed rose beige once Devin exited the circle. The incense of sweet herbs from the altar filled my smelling senses as Miriam lit all nine blue candles. It was unexpected that Elder Victor was present while the other four elders were not. He might have shown up to support his grandson, Valen. He stroked his Ceasar-cut Mallen streak, thinned his lips into a smile, and turned his forest green eyes to stare at his son, who whispered something to him. Mom, Dad, Luna Queen Sianna, Alpha King Vance, Marlena, the pack witch, Devin, and Valen surrounded me at the edge of the circle. All peered down on me with optimism. "We're here for you, sweetheart," Mom whispered. "Hang tight. It'll be

-RAINA’S POV- He was gone in an instant. Just like that, my happy moment smashed and my heart scattered in pieces in my chest. Will he forever be tearing out my heart, the one that beats only for him? Before my thoughts went further, Luna Sianna rested a hand on my shoulder and stated, "I'm sure that he's happy for you." "See you later, Cuz." Devin bid me good night, following Valen out the doors of the ritual temple. "Sure," I sadly responded. I wanted to run after them. However, Dad and Mom encased me on both sides with a loving hug. "You should go. I'll lock up." Alpha Vance instructed all of us. "I'll wait for you outside." Luna Sianna told him and escorted us out into the cool night. Casting a glance up at the diamond-flared silver moon, I wondered about the plans the moon goddess had for my future as its gleaming cords of moonlight hung loosely over the earth. Marlena and Miriam walked with us outside. The elder woman gazed at me saying, “Though man is born unto trouble,

VALEN’S POV“Raina is hurting.” Penn interjected, finishing up and discarding the cotton in a bin.“I saw the pain in her eyes when she saw Snow with your baby.” She gazed sadly at Devin and added under her breath. “I can imagine what that feels like.”My Beta averted his eyes to the side of the room, avoiding hers, suddenly unsettled as he scratched behind his ear.I blew out a hard breath. I did not care about what was up with these two. Raina was priority. The mate bond wrenched at me in a silent cry from her that only I could hear. Missing the softness of holding her hands and basking in her endearing presence, hugging, touching, gazing—I just can't go on without it.“I'm pissed too because the future hasn't changed and at some point, you'll give the dick away.” Devin aired bluntly. “How could you? After all those times you swore to me…”“I'll never cheat on Raina.” I cut in sharply, darting daggers at him.Unconvinced, he huffed. Then he spoke again, his voice quieter. "She loves

VALEN’S POVMy eyes snapped open, looking up at the wooden beams in the ceiling in confusion.This was Wolkrane.I can’t be here. Not when I promised Raina to be home by 9 P.M. daily. My head pounded with hazy memories, and I missed her pleasantly cool scent so badly. With her beautiful burgundy...Oh, fuck!I bolted up from the bed, and pain exploded on my side, spasming up and down my torso. Immediately, I glanced down at the three stitches that I just accidentally ripped, blood trickling down my side and into my gray sweatpants.Angry at myself for not knowing how long I’d been asleep, I yanked the IV line from my arm.Cursing silently while gritting my teeth against the agony, I barged out of the bedroom, ignoring the trail of blood I left on the umber-weave pattern of the vinyl plank flooring.Dizzy waves swept over me as I descended the stairs, determined for someone to tell me that it was a damn nightmare. That I imagined it all.“Where is she!” I roared, bulldozing into the sm

RAINA’S POV“Kókkino, I don't know,” Gustav replied with understanding in a low voice. His words lingered, heavy with an edge of doubt. “The sword should have taken his life.”I swallowed hard and confessed dejectedly, “I wanted to believe him, but he can’t be the real Valen.”Gustav hummed thoughtfully and moved to the foot of the bed to remove my shoes.Flashes of the harrowing hurt in the last Valen’s eyes made my forlorn heart sink deeper and deeper. It seemed nearly genuine, yet it was not. It was a mask to get me to lower my guard. I was glad that I didn’t let the bond derail the mission this time.My eyes trailed to my guardian, and I expressed, “The timekeepers were so cruel. This is my ninth trial, and if he's not my Valen, he'll kill me again. As an anomaly, they've cursed me to die over and over.”“Then I will protect you,” Gustav swore, putting down my shoes at the bedside while his gaze met mine. The sincerity and promise were clear in his voice.“How long do you think I
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 235 - NINTH TRIAL
RAINA’S POV I lingered behind Gustav as we arrived by teleportation at a sprawling lakeside manor. With urgency, he stalked off down a corridor that cut straight through the house. I broke off into a little jog to keep up with his large strides. Walking by his side, I felt curious and apprehensive about where he had taken me. Warm tones guided me through the great hall. Feeling antsy, my head pirouetted in the unfamiliar environment. Gaping archways revealed sitting rooms, recreational rooms, a grand dining room, and others. Each was filled with soothing terra cotta tones from walls painted in red earth color. “Nice safe house,” I remarked as he led me up the winding stairs, overwhelmed by the sheer size of it.Layers of vintage finds, painted artwork, and houseplants created a classical, inviting effect across the spaces. Together with white and green accents, the wall's reddish tone produced a muted color scheme that brought a diverse range of furniture pieces in a harmoniously b

VALEN’S POV“Grrr! You are not needed here,” I growled, feeling my skin ripple, pinning the man in place with a murderous glare.“The nerve of that Worgen,” Zeus snarled in my head.Nyx and Zuzu swayed their attention to the obnoxious intruder, waiting for my command to attack him.“Stand down, Nyx. Do not attack him, Zuzu. Hibernate,” Raina commanded them, her back constantly bumped into my chest from her struggle against the grasp I maintained on her arms.It was a shock to see my guardians revert to a leisure position, debunking their fight mode.Raina averted her eyes to the man in full white. “Get me out of here, Gustav.”“Careful, Bluebella. Do not deliberately make me jealous. My wolf is unsettled as it is. You are mine,” I muttered into her ear, and she flinched with resistance.Swinging her sabre-rattling eyes sideways, she expostulated, “I’ll chose him a million times over you, you fake bastard!”What the hell was this?She was protecting him—choosing him?Wanting to go with

VALEN’S POVThe portal spat her out with a thud on the floor of my sanctum in a disheveled mess.“Mate! Mate! Mate!” Zeus purred, going into overdrive to touch what was ours.Thank fuck.“Ugh!” She groaned, landing face-down, and something clattered on the floor.My body jumped to life as her rich scent wrapped around the entirety of my being like thick vines.“She came back to us!” Zeus’ rear end started to twitch and wiggle in excitement to see our beautiful mate.Gladness pumped my heart wildly, and my feet moved briskly before my wolf shouted at me to go to her. Zuzu flapped her giant wings in flight towards her regular spot on a custom-designed tree branch in the corner.I rushed towards Raina, dropping to my knees and gently grabbing her shoulders to help her to stand. My heart danced with delight when the sparks erupted across my palms from the skin-to-skin contact.“She’s back,” Zeus howled in my chest with joy and enthusiasm, jumping up on his two hind legs.Raina's legs gave

VALEN’S POVEighty-four hours.Three and a half days.It’s been that long since I’ve been home and without my precious Luna. Precious time was being wasted when I should have been able to go after her. That knowledge and helplessness weighed heavy on my chest, obstructing every labored inhale.Detached from everything, I wallowed in heart-shattering misery.With a deep scowl, I ran my thumb over the inscriptions of the golden bracelet as my mind worked overtime. My brain felt like it was on a treadmill, unable to stop.At this point, my eyes were hooded and void and my brain wasn't far from becoming the same. Frazzled and throbbing.“You’re the reason she disappeared.” Zeus snarled in my head, castigating me for putting Vaheed over our mate. He rambled, “If we weren’t away, we would have been here to stop her. I told you to leave him alone, but no, you had to go and bring him back. Are you trying to make us mateless?”My throat was too parched to argue with him.The worst had happened

VALEN’S POVAll their heartbeats rose, thundering against their chests. Devin quickly scurried over to the witch’s side.My eyebrows met. My face scrunched up and I pointed at Penn. My voice was incensed, and my teeth clashed together. “You let her go?”They visibly sagged under the weight of my temper. Anger pulsed through my chest, the upcoming headache didn't help his bitch fit either.“Well, I—um, I, er,” Pennelope stuttered and Devin frowned, spinning around to cup her face before facing me again.Letting out a breath of disbelief, I felt like my whole world was caving in. My vision went spotty as I pictured Raina lost and on her own in an unfamiliar world, and this witch did nothing to help her when she had the means.“It’s not that simple. I tried to stop her…” Penn explained, shaking her head, and went into more detail, stumbling over her words. “...once she saw Snow, she decided to go AWOL.”"Slow down, Penn." Devin guided me because at this point she was mumbling, and I didn
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 250 - NON-EXISTENT
VALEN’S POV “Beta?” I scowled in the witch's basement after descending the last step of the stairs.Thick tension greeted me. One built on apprehension and fear.They were as scared as a kitten that had just noticed the shadow of a dog’s tail lashing against a white wall. I could feel the weight of their trepidatious stares pressing against me. Their fretting, whispering thoughts practically radiated off them like static.Zeus growled low and ferociously in my chest, unsettled by the hangdog silence. The implication of guilt hung heavily in the air.My anxious eyes roamed every inch of the space, skipping through the bookshelves, futons, chairs, and stone tables seeking the one woman that my soul ached for. Seeing no trace of her, my longing hammered our bond with impatience.An outburst climbed up my throat to be lashed out, only to be hindered when Venus flew at me. I swallowed the impending words. She gripped the front of my black shirt and tugged it repeatedly. Immense anxiety fu
