-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 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

    VALEN’S POV“It did,” I swore promptly, clinging to faith that it worked. My arms fell to my sides like dead weight under her scrutiny. “It had to.”Raina shook her head and stepped back as distrust took over. “There are still eight minutes on the timer.”Despite my assurances, a claw of doubt hooked into my skin. I might not be entirely certain, but I couldn’t let my mate spiral into a pool of endless possibilities.According to my future self, the trial was to kill each other, and if we refused, then there would be no trial anymore. However, it wasn’t that simple. It had to be done as a blood oath made to Selene, and blood oaths gave no take-backsies.“That's not possible,” I told her, feeling a dull fear rising inside of me.“You're pure evil. Keeping me alive to taunt me,” Raina said in short, curt tones with fisted hands and a blade-sharp glare. “You and your ridiculous aspirations.” She tapped a finger against her temple. “Get it in your operating chip. Your ambitions are thwart

    VALEN’S POV “Where the hell are we?” Raina retorted as I placed her down on her feet inside the ritual circle, but kept her shoulders in my grasp.Every line and curve on her face was etched by misery and sorrow. Look at me kidnapping my own mate as if this relationship were forbidden. We are meant to be together, yet here we are being forced apart by terrible forces.“Dark Wolverson,” I told her softly, hugging her as if all the love in my heart could burst out of me to console her, just by having our bodies close. “The ritual temple.”Goddess, she looked drained, very tired, worn out, and washed out. Her eyes were wild, and her untidy, burgundy hair was damp from rain. It was knotted far from her scalp, and loose enough for heavy strands to slump against her shoulders, clinging to her neck and temples, the rest draped together down her back, tangled and darkened by water.“You changed the stage.” She looked at me strangely, and the unease etched into her expression had me on edge.

    RAINA’S POVOn impulse, I released the post and launched into the air. My body curved in an arch mid-flight. Wind ripped past my ears as I flipped and landed in a crouch, knees bent and one leg sweeping out wide, fingers grazing the dirt for balance.My head snapped up, eyes locking again with Valen’s, heart hammering as adrenaline surged through me.Valen didn’t say a word, but his gaze gripped me tightly. Beneath the surface calm was a storm; his pupils dilated, shoulders rigid, fingers trembling slightly at his sides.Like a switch flipped, Valen growled in outrage, his voice molding with his wolf’s. “Are you trying to kill yourself?!”“Says the toy soldier that ruins everything for me,” I blurted, pressing my palm to the ground and pushing up quickly to stand. “The Timekeepers rewind your memory, activate you and point you at me in every damn trial, including this one.”“Alright, Valen will leave.” Devin’s suggestion got cut off by a growl.“No, I won’t,” Valen said, his tone flat

    RAINA’S POVIn that moment, I swear a piece of my soul just packed its luggage and divorced my body as I saw Valen standing in front of me, like a printout of my nightmare into reality, pressing my panic buttons.“Ah, there he is, the man of the hour. Time to handle your Poison Ivy. Good news, she’s out of weapons. Bad news, she’s still got that killer personality. One wrong move and…” Theo’s rough but dry voice trailed off, wheezing slightly."Stealthy as always, huh, V9?" I muttered under my breath with all the venom I could lace into my words.The reprogramming was quick. Too quick.Unnerved, I gulped as crashing footsteps rushed towards me. Pure terror overwhelmed me, and I wished the ground would swallow me whole. I was out of moves. I couldn’t outrun him, and he could overpower me easily.“Don’t.” I shook my head, backing up two steps, and holding my hands up. “Don’t come any closer.”Valen halted, and his dark features softened, eyes narrowing with unnatural concern. Those emera
