MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 175 - CONCLAVE
-RAINA'S POV-“Vaheed is coming home.” These four astounding words from Venus’ mouth had changed the entire atmosphere of the picnic yesterday. “I felt him.” She beamed with mirth glinting in her harlequin green eyes. Their twin bond linked for a few seconds, and then it was gone, but she was positive that he spoke to her.It explained why she had been so chirpy lately. A spark of hope flared into life that Vaheed would show up any day now. Still, was it true?Breathing out the barest, wishful sigh, I too, desire for my second best friend to come home. However, there were many questions clawing at the back of my skull. Had he escaped the Worgens? Where was he? Would they come here after him?Well, today was another day, but it was not a good day. After donning a white dress that was above the knees with a tie at the bust and ruffled hemline, I paced my bedroom back and forth, wringing my hands anxiously.Swiveling around, I bumped into a hard chest that knocked me backwards. I was so

-RAINA’S POV-The bond strummed, coaxing me to glance at my mate. Valen’s sharp jewel-like eyes fixed on me, building a warm sensation in my gut. Silently, I understood the message they conveyed. I could feel the pull from inside of me that he wanted to hold me in his arms. It was soothing.“Don’t focus on the one reason you think you don’t deserve this, that you overlook the other hundreds of reasons why you do." He whispered through the mind-link.Valen moved from the Tuscan pilaster and stepped forward to the table to stand by his Dad’s side. Bracing his weight on his knuckles, he leaned over the table rather intimidatingly, oozing power and dominance.Maintaining our eyelock and knowing that they would take this as impertinence, I uttered just the same, “Not having a wolf does not affect my ability to lead and stand for my people. I'm still brave, considerate, and committed to the realm. Who I am is not defined by the crown or my wolf, nor does it negate the fact that I am Valen's

-RAINA’S POV-“That's it, Elder Jacob!” Alpha Vance bellowed at the accusing elder. “Consider yourself relieved of your duties and no longer affiliated as an elder of Dark Wolverson for sprouting such slander!”It took Luna Sianna a gripping hug and a few kisses to calm the raging Alpha King as he barked out his vicious displeasure. Mom had to do the same to Dad.Rumormongering. Typically, disproving a rumor was more difficult than proving a rumor. Our parents boiled Elder Jacob's words down to wedge-driving hearsay.Sianna got to her feet and luna-commanded with hands patting the air. “Everyone, quiet! Please!”“Alpha King, the mere fact that Raina has remained silent is proof enough.” Elder Jacob's spat over the lowering voices, standing his ground.Luna Sianna pursed her lips into a thin line, and thinking that she could render his declaration pointless, she looked at me and asked, “For the sake of these imprudent Elders, please clear the air.”Everyone was unstirred. The tension s

-RAINA'S POV-"Your womb is ……. perfect. You are fertile. Bring me the infertility report now." Luna Sianna informed us, crossing one arm across her chest with the other hand under her chin.No way! It’s impossible! Disbelief swelled hot the back of my eyes. I was dumbfounded.Shoving away my bloated emotions, I answered slowly, "It-it's upstairs.”"Go and get it." Her tone was laden with authority and anger.Without uttering a word, Valen teleported me to my room. He was a steaming mess but oddly clammed his mouth, sealing away words that kept his emotions at bay. I've caused him trouble again.We manifested in the office, disrupting their previous discussion.Luna Sianna snatched the report from my hands. Her icy-blue eyes scanned the report, deeply focused. The Elders had their bushy brows pinched together and pinned me with accusatory squints. I shivered and shrank into myself. Valen hugged me protectively.“Valen, I ―” I began through the mind-link.“Let’s not talk here. It’ll be

-VALEN’S POV-Brimming with fury, I arrived at the crepe-colored cruciform clinic with a black skillion roof, standing in the middle of the asphalt road.“Where is she?” I roared like the Incredible Hulk, muscles tightening and bulging as I clenched my fists with outrage. Spilling out barbaric winds of aura that sought death.Theo and Thaines were already ordered to apprehend the atrocious bitch. They ought to be here and they better not let her get away, or so help me, goddess.“Bring her out!” I boomed, as the slow oncoming traffic decided to hit their brakes, refusing to proceed closer for fear of my wrath.Anger, hatred, and vengeance overwhelmed me in the hot afternoon. It set Zeus on edge, pushing to take over.Peaches had to be batshit crazy to go against my moon-blessed. How dare she try to stop my little generals from fertilizing Raina's ovum. We were devastated at the loss of our baby girl and this wicked wench decided to hinder us from having anymore.Despicable and shamefu

-VALEN'S POV-Peaches' silence stoked up my wrath like wood on a blazing fire. I stormed forward and grabbed her violently by her short, red hair and threw her across the pavement.Screaming, her back hit against the square concrete column of the portico porch with a crunch. When she fell with a thud to the ground, she spat out blood.“P-please, Alpha. I wouldn’t hurt Raina.” Peaches wailed through her blood-painted lips. She was too injured to get on her feet. Fear cloaked her body like a blanket of shame. “It was Jiya. I swear on my mother's grave.”“Stellar acting!” Theo remarked snidely. “When will people learn? Don't try to play chess when jackstones are your level.”“You thought that we wouldn’t find out?” I prowled towards her, settling with the belief that she had a hand in aiding the Elders. “My Luna…..my heirs……you wanted to end us.”“You fuck with one of us. You fuck with all of us.” Theo muttered with utmost disdain on the sideline.Peaches paled with fright and pushed her

-RAINA’S POV-Finally, the suffocating meeting was over!I dashed out of the office and was already outside the pack house. I cut across the neatly trimmed yard as fast as I could.To get to the clinic, I would have to take my car from the underground parking lot since I could not shift into my wolf to get there. In times like these, I honestly missed Hera.Things unfolded unexpectedly. No secret could be kept forever, but when I went in there, I did not plan to reveal my infertility. Lucky for me, today’s caucus exposed the astounding truth and so much more.I could have kids. A part of me rejoiced like a happy camper. Although they wanted me to be popping out pups like a broodmare.I sighed in exasperation at how much influence the Elder Council had over us. It was too much power for them to dictate our lives. I hated it.Aside from that, the goal now was to find Peaches. It was imperative to talk with her. Valen blocked me from mind-linking him and it was very aggravating. Killing

-RAINA’S POV-“I'll take you.” Valen offered generously, hampering me from going towards Eddison.Turning to Valen, I trailed my fingers up to his neck, his jaw and pleaded, “Today was a lot for me. I'd like to unwind by myself, and we can meet up later. Plus, there's something I’ll ask you about.”“Then take the twins with you,” Valen suggested, anything to keep me from Eddison.Theo and Thaines’ eyes snapped up at us, awaiting my decision.“I'll be in good hands.” I mistakenly solicited.Taking my words literally, Valen’s lips pinched together in a hard line. His growl vibrated loudly when his dark, lethal eyes flicked at Eddison, recalling the way his hands were on me earlier.“I meant that Eddison will ensure that I'm safe.” I corrected and put on my flirty smitten-kitten-mitten blues while my fingers danced down his jawline. “In the meantime, you could shower and take me on that overdue date.”Valen’s tensed jaws relaxed with a smile that ricocheted a handsomeness overload that w

MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 241 - HOBBLING FLIGHT
RAINA’S POVStiff as a petrified log, I couldn't scream as my world exploded in a kaleidoscope of stars. My heart thrashed a million miles a minute.The agony caught into a knot in my throat. My body tried to curl in on itself – to replicate a spider's dead dusk, but he kept my flailing limbs pinned. My body heaved.Then, Valen pulled his fangs out, licking the punctured flesh and clearing the blood. Sparks erupted. Fucking sparks shot all the way to my toes.Each lick of his tongue was like morphine. Like a kick. I basked in it. I loved it. The bond was like being controlled by an entity. It was making me want him. Dammit.My body tightened, lungs squeezed and butterflies raged uncontrollably inside of me as he flicked his sinful tongue and dragged it wetly across my sensitive flesh.Focus, Raina! Don't let him swoop you in again. This can’t go on. I must bust out of here.“I want to fuck you, overstimulate you, edge you on until you're in tears, chanting your safe word,” he crooned.
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 240 - EROTIC SNARE
RAINA’S POVYanking my injured right hand, Valen twirled me around so that my back slammed against his hard chest. His large hand came straight for my face to rip the goggles off.The room, like my fate, suddenly got darker.“You’re not so bad without your sword now, right?” Valen said mockingly. “But you certainly aren't vanilla and innocent either.”Once he crushed the goggles, he flung it into the wall. His robust right arm circled my waist while his left hand settled above my breast, slowly traveling up to my throat. Electric sparks exploded everywhere our skin touched.“Let me tell you something, Bluebella. You've unlocked a dangerous side of Zeus that even I feared,” he whispered huskily into my ear, gripping my neck. “But since you want to keep this bratty behavior up all night, challenging me, that part of him is going to burst out of his cage.”All the while, his emeralds were fixated on mine. He dipped his head over my shoulders. My flitting eyes watched him as my heart drum
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 239 - PERILOUSLY BEGUILING
RAINA’S POVSlinking inside the Alpha suite with night vision goggles, I crept up to the king-size bed to see Valen tossing and turning in his sleep.Why wasn’t he dead yet?Moving surreptitiously to the side of the bed, I was thankful that my black leather catsuit blended well with the darkness. As quiet as ever, I held my sword tighter, angling it in a left-plow position with the long edge up.Committed to the assassination task, my blow had to be quick and precise, piercing the heart. I cannot miss this golden opportunity.Standing exactly beside the nightstand, I glanced down at the ripped muscles of his heaving chest. Grunting, his sweaty head shifted from side to side. His face twitched, and his closed eyelids flexed as he breathed jaggedly in his sleep.Cardamom and amber surrounded me, the potent scent wafted straight from the source into my nostrils. A mouthwatering scent, so maddening. Perilously beguiling. The bond beat against my chest like a bone-crushing drum. The physica
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 238 - UNSHEATHED
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
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 237 - WOEBEGONE
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
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 236 - GETHELL WHEEL
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
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 234 - WITHERED BLUEBELL
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
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 233 - FRIGID COMEBACK (I)
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
