MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 176 - COUNCIL INTERVENTION
-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
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 177 - BELEAGUERED
-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
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 178 - CYNOSURE
-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
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 179 - ARRAIGNMENT
-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
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 180 - FAMILY FOR FAMILY
-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
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 181 - HUNTING JIYA
-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
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 182 - APT 3006
-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 183 - SPAWN OF EVIL
-VAHEED'S POV-Stuck to the suspended web-like chains, I was like an agonizing bee that had lost its sting on a path to die a gruesome death.With my feet nine inches from the ground in the dark basement of clay bricks under the synagogue, my body hung off the wall in a silver web. Silver chains could not restrict me and this basement was not meant to be a torturing chamber.Therefore, the one called Dymian bound me to a network of thorny, powerful chains that could cut through the bone. My movements triggered Seff, who was my jail keeper, and he liked to use my chest as his dart board for his dry ice daggers. The wounds and gashes weren’t allowed to heal before he came back to re-open them.Bastards.My swollen black and blue eyes stared at the blackness in boredom. The sulfuric stench suffocated me to the point where my body was stuffed with it, feeling and looking half dead. My wrists and ankles were losing skin and becoming very raw. With a heavy stomach, I felt hollowed and drain

VALEN’S POV-“You think you can threaten me.” I blasted, pumping a rigid fist at him as the vermillion red in my eyes marinated in resentment. “You think Selene can save you from me? Never see Raina, my mate, again in any lifetime, get it?”“I will, and I shall,” Gustav challenged."Shut the fuck up," I boomed with such immense power that the temple shivered, and foggy dust shot backwards.At my fastest speed, my feet thrust from the ground and I darted at him, too quick for him to dodge the clasp of my hand clutching his neck. I hoisted him off the ground by his throat, letting his feet dangle as they desperately searched for solid ground, while mine took root on the floor."You feeling tough now?" I growled with hatred in my voice.The Worgen extended his claws and sank them into my arm, piercing them deep until they hit the bone and my blood trickled out, splattering the floor. Because of that, I hurled him to the ground. He coughed and gasped for air, while struggling to stand up.
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 205 - GOTCHA WORGEN
-VALEN’S POV-“Gustav!” I roared, nakedly stomping through the circular pillars with Zuzu perched on my right shoulder. “Get out here!”Chasing him brought me to Pindus in Greece at the Temple of Zannos. It was an albescent-white, Doric-styled, pentagon-shaped building that lacked care and was covered with limestone dust. On the walls were featured engravings of weapons and symbols that I also recognized were identical to the ones that were inscribed on the Worgens' foreheads.“No need to be so loud, Alpha Prince.” Gustav groused with his back to me. The hem of his cream trench coat carpeted the ground, right next to his enormous sword. “Even the gods can hear you shouting.”Up ahead in the dusty grand hall, he was down on one knee with his white head bowed to the light blue, marble, fifty-foot statue of Selene. She was gracefully sitting on a crescent moon with a beige wolf around her shoulders as she glanced down at the queen of the night flower she was holding up in her left hand. T
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 204 - CONTEMPT-FUELED
-VALEN’S POV-“Holy fuck.” I panted out as the sweet sensations rocked me.Her pouty candy-pink lips began moving up and down my length. She started bobbing her head back and forth. My hand coiled a large bunch of burgundy strands on the top of her head, helping her with the pace.“Deep breaths—yeah, take it.” My lips parted, and I blew out invisible puffs of air.The pleasure was overwhelming, almost making me forget what we were fighting about before. She picked up the pace, fisting the bottom of my shaft with one hand while she sucked the top and repeated.“So good, baby,” I remarked huskily. “Show me how badly you want it.”Already my balls were tensing up and stars exploded behind my eyelids as my orgasm drew near. She hummed around my dick, licking it good as I drew it out of her mouth.I grunted and thrust my hip forward with more force this time, hitting the back of my throat. Her pretty mouth was driving me nuts. The way her tongue moved against the ridges was giving me a whi
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 203 - PROLIFERATED NEED
-RAINA’S POV-Yellow flags billowed in my head as the mood shifted sourly. Hot, angry puffs of air expelled from Valen’s nostrils. His blazing emeralds locked with my subtle blues.“Hold on a sec.” I scrambled to the edge of the bed and sat up with a frown. “That’s not what I’m saying.”“Really, Raina?” Valen asked me with hidden anger in his voice. “That crab-louse took Vaheed, and you aren’t in a hurry to get my brother back, especially since that’s the only way for us to find out what happened to Devin.”“I know that,” I muttered in a casual tone, licking my dry lips.“Vaheed isn’t with us because of him.” Valen’s voice rose, and he raked back his black hair with a frustrated hand. He turned and walked towards the glass doors to the balcony, aggressively parted the green drapes, and looked out into the gray sky.“I want to summon Gustav, but I don’t know how,” I expressed, feeling crappy that he had a valid point. “Plus you have that murderous gleam that you are going to kill him w
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 202 - BLEAK MOMENTS
-RAINA’S POV-Brewing with optimism, I watched in awe as the lavender glow disbursed, engulfing Devin's body in a gentle aura of shimmering energy. Like an X-ray, it lit up his skeleton, making it visibly orange with red veins.It was as if the very essence of magic itself was sieving through him, whirling new life into his motionless form. His body was healing, closing the gruesome wound on his chest and reconnecting the superior vena cava."Hang in there, Duke. Your boy is strong. He can make it." Alpha Vance tried to provide some solace.Uncle Duke began pacing while ruffling a hand through his blonde hair. “Come on Smithson, the moon can’t have you today.”Valen's expression was one of intense concentration. His features were set in determination as he exerted more streams of his magic into Devin.For a moment, time seemed to stand still as we held our collective breath, waiting with bated anticipation for any sign of change.And then, it happened.A faint ripple sifted through De

-RAINA’S POV-Sorrowed stalked us back to the witch’s cottage like a grim, black shadow. Unlike the sunset that spread a rainbow flame upon the evening's sky.On a magically conjured table floating ahead of us, courtesy of Valen, Devin's massacred body laid supine.The journey from the yacht to Petroside Grove felt longer than ever before, and Zeus’ sprints echoed with emptiness, silently knowing that things would be different now.As we approached the witch’s cottage, the scene on the off-white porch was one of heartbreak and despair. Miriam, Marlena, Alpha Vance, Uncle Duke, Luna Sianna, and Keisha stood waiting. Their faces were etched with grief as they watched us draw near.Zeus lowered his large, black, furry body so that I jumped from his back, and then Valen shifted. Keisha immediately rushed towards Devin. My heart ached for Keisha as I watched her crumble. With haste, Uncle Duke wrapped his arms around her waist to keep her off the ground."I'm so sorry," I whispered to them
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 200 - BEMOANING GOODBYE
-RAINA’S POV-“The plans they have for us are diabolic.” Vaheed grabbed my arm, startling me as he pulled me to his side.His aura had a scary quality—one that was sickening and could make me puke. He was not my mate, so my body rebelled, seething at being manhandled.Vaheed’s desperate gaze locked on mine, begging me to side with him. “I’m going to kill him, Raina. Tell whitey to leave. We don't want his kind here.”“If you back off, Vaheed, so will he,” I rasped out, which made him livid. His harlequin greens flickered like black coals about to catch fire.Gustav lifted his chin in opposition. “I would not be here if she was not in danger.”Vaheed grinned deviously. “A Worgen….protecting a human? Don't make me laugh. I know all about you and your horde.”“Yes, you do.” I highlighted, “You have a lot of information that we need to make better preparations against them. I suggest we get you to your Mom's for a check-up, and then we'll have a meeting to discuss all that you can tell us
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 199 - ALPHA VS. WORGEN
-RAINA’S POV-“Gustav,” I breathed out, still very skeptical of his presence.This pivotal moment would test the guardian bond. With bated breath, I stared at his hand, contemplating taking it. He noticed the alarm on my face and put both of his hands up in a surrender pose.“I mean you no harm, Kókkino,” he said, cocking his head, slightly concerned.Ruffling and a dull creak of dry hinges sounded across the room. My eyes found Vaheed pinned to the decorative, backlit stone wall feature.Grunting with lips pulled over his teeth, his hands gripped and wrested against the formidable, six-foot, double-bladed sword that threatened to slash him in halves. One tip of its broad jagged blade screeched against the floorboard.Panicking, I glanced back at Gustav, in a terrified voice, “Do not kill him.”“He's dangerous.” Gustav furrowed his brows, confused as to why I'd want to spare him, but he relented with an exhalation. He held out his hand and the intimidating weapon whirred back to its o

-RAINA’S POV-“You killed him, you sick psycho!” I screamed at Vaheed with tears raining down my cheeks.“I didn’t do it. Don’t be rash.” Vaheed frowned, and he placed a finger on his lips to shush me. Where was his empathy? “But you knew he was attacked!” I shouted amidst my sobbing, pointing at Devin’s bloody body.“He didn't stand a chance and with loverboy sleeping, neither do you.” His brows knitted as he seemed to be listening for something.I shook my head wildly, beginning to panic. I glanced around frantically, “You brought the Worgens here? Where are they?”Releasing a distressful sigh, Vaheed held up his forefinger and swirled it in the air. “It's the other way around.” He dropped his hand, coming towards me.Smothering my weeping, I watched him cautiously. My heart thumped hard in my chest and I recoiled. I did not want him near me.His eyes widened. “They're coming.” His feet quickened towards me, bending and reaching out his hand under my knees to lift me. “I've got a p
