-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

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 268 - BOO'ED UP

    VALEN'S POVA sudden sweet aroma descended into the temple. A sandalwood - patchouli incense, rich and overwhelming, clung in the air as though the moon goddess had stepped into the nave and wrapped us in her presence.We made it.It’s not too late.The night must go on.I nodded at Devin and looked back at Raina, wiping the wetness from her face with my thumb. “Baby, you have something important to do, okay? You have to make your stand tonight at the farewell ceremony. Your wolves have missed you.”“Yeah,” Raina said breathlessly. “I can do it.”I smiled affectionately at her confidence, admiring her strength. “I’ll be right there with you. All the way.”“Aw, look at them all boo'ed up.” Theo gushed at his twin.Thaines smiled warmly.“Hey Raina,” Theo flicked his head at me, wiggling his eyebrows. “The poor guy's overdue for a belly rub.”“Mind your business.” Devin grabbed him into a headlock and gave him the roughest noogie I've ever seen.Theo sputtered in protest.“He's overdue

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 267 - MORTAL COUNTERFOIL

    VALEN’S POVFalling stardust formed into a colorful, glittering note that floated down when the fireworks fizzled out.Raina lifted her hand as it settled in her palm, illuminating like a heavenly gift.Sucking in a huge shuddering breath of air, Raina stumbled backwards, blinking rapidly at it in shock. She gasped loudly, “Oh. O-oh my goddess.”Visibly confused, I placed my arms on her shoulders as she rocked on her heels, helping her remain steady. I asked, “Baby, what do you have there?”“I hope it's not a dinner invitation with those time bastards,” Theo grumbled, folding his arms.Over and over again, banging sounds echoed through the room as one of the outsiders was ramming something at the door, trying to bust it off its hinges.They hadn't given up.Annoyed, I shut my eyes and exhaled slowly through my nose. Goddess, I could use a sign or a break or something. Anything at this point.My eyes flicked open as I sensed my mate was drawing closer, reclaiming my attention and curio

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 266 - BANGERS

    VALEN’S POVA sudden, thunderous bang exploded against the thick wooden doors of the temple.Everyone flinched.Writhing shadows moved under the door, alarming the gang as they bolted from the chairs and rushed over to the edge of the ritual circle.“I can still hear them,” Raina whispered, her voice barely more than a breath. The color drained from her face, her expression frozen in numbed horror. “They're coming. I know it’s them.”My blood chilled.Shit.When the blasted portal was crackling with power, it must have alerted them. With one hand around Raina’s waist, I anchored her against me, firm and possessive, and rotated us to face the door.Bang! The hinges rattled. Bang! The woods groaned in protest.I instantly gave Penn a chin lift to use her magic to seal the door. “Hold them off.”Obeying my orders, Penn walked over to Zack. He stepped to the side to give her room to perform her spell, and her hands fluttered in the air, tracing something invisible. Grim determination etche

    VALEN’S POV“Selene’s spirit dwells here, Raina,” I gestured to the space around us. “There’s more power in this circle than you could ever imagine. The Coyolxauhqui stone will protect you. So please stay inside it.”“Watch her,” Zeus nagged.“You’re experimenting with me, testing the limits of your world,” Raina scoffed. “You have no idea what you've done.”“I do. I brought you home.”Raina’s blue orbs glistened, and she snapped, “Stop acting like you're Valen's monochorionic twin. You are a piece of junkyard scrap, and I'll never let you get near my man.”Tears brimmed in her eyes. Her expression was devastated, torn, and ravaged by defeat, by misunderstanding.“Mate,” Zeus whimpered. Every muscle ached, protesting against the space between us.Hopelessness dulled her eyes, and her face saddened before she hung her head. A dejected sigh escaped her lips, and she muttered, “Two minutes.”“What!” Zeus roared in my head. His ears shot up, and his muscles coiled.Struck by sudden fear,

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 264 - WHOOMPH

    VALEN’S POVJust as Raina tried to bolt out of the ritual circle, I scrambled to my knees and lunged after her, heart pounding like hooves in a stampede.Thready streaks of white lightning lashed from the edges of the blasted portal. The team scattered, boots skidding on hardwood as they dove for cover from each bolt that struck the floor with a storm’s fury.Black smoke came next, enshrouding the nave and blotting out everything around, except the protected ritual circle.“This is some next-level stuff,” Zeus grumbled in my head.The thick, hot air choked the others. Coughing with hands over their mouths, they fell slowly to the ground, passing out from whatever was in that dark fog.“Stop interfering,” Raina shouted angrily.“I’m saving you, not trapping you.” I declared, catching her slender ankle again, but got a swift kick in the face.“Get away, bacillus robot,” Raina hissed, ferociously stamping me with her hard boots until she could get on her knees, her breath ragged and furi

    VALEN’S POVRaina laughed bitterly. “I’m getting a second chance.” She swung a calculated gaze at the gang, settling one deadly look at Theo. Her voice dropped to a cold, smooth whisper. “Next time, I’m going to kill you first.”Theo gulped, suddenly frightened, and jumped onto his twin, clinging to Thaines’ neck as his muscular legs instinctively went up into his brother’s arms.Theo nervously asked his twin, “What did I do?”Thaines grimaced.“Listen to me, that’s not what we want.” Releasing her hands, I palmed her face, forcing her eyes to fix on me. “The Timekeepers are lying. The trial is over. Baby, please believe in me. We've already won.”Penn shook her head adamantly. “The timeline will change if you take that offer. It’ll be another fake Valen...not us.”All the while, she fought my grip, wrangling her head against the way I held her.Worry wove into Venus’ expression as she looked at me with wide eyes. “If the trial gets reset, and you lose, you’ll become a permanent part o
