-VALEN’S POV- My mind’s been stuck on Raina all day today, so I went for a run despite the wax-melting sun. Through the bond, I knew that she wasn’t alright. Yet, I cannot bring myself to go near her. It was not neglect when there was good reason to stay away. Without a doubt, she’d be mad. I expected to get a full dose of her flogging tongue when I saw her next time. I’ll deal with that when the time comes. The sanity I had was dwindling because of this shitty situation. It was radically breaking me down. After the ritual, I did not mean to leave her without a word. I was going to apologize when she called me on the phone this morning but the mention of Vaheed’s name rifled my anger. It was bad enough that he was creating problems. I was going to put him on a fucking leash. Today was one of those days when I refused to think of my harebrained brother. Fuck! What the hell had he been thinking about? Careless and asinine. Returning to the home base on the island, I morphed back to
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 29 - COLLISION
- - -RAINA’S POV- “You don’t get to die today.” At some point before the collision with the truck, a hand smashed the window, grabbed the collar of my green blouse, and vehemently yanked me from the car. I flipped in the air in an icy paralysis. The piercing sound of the calamitous explosion rendered my ears deaf with a sharp ringing. Glass shards like bullets sprinkling the air glittered maliciously from the glare of the sun. The resplendent sky graced my sight for a split second before the lush green tree tops and then collided with the solid brown dirty ground. Thud. As hot metal and splinters rained all about me, the smell of burning rubber and gasoline burned my nose. The tanker truck jackknifed and exploded. “Oof!” I swore I broke a rib. Blood trickled down my forehead, warm and sticky. I stared at the mangled wreck that had once been good vehicles and a dreadful lump developed in my throat. A second explosion thundered and I swiftly dropped my face on the grass with my

-VALEN'S POV- "Why should I sit and listen to this crap? If you want to rip my head off," I dared him, "Go ahead, but I'm not going anywhere." I yielded to the desire to smash something by lifting the wooden chair and throwing it into the wall and looking at my father square into his obstinate, unfazed green orbs. Something warped in my gut, dark and sinister. Dad leaned back into the large leather-grey executive chair with controlled calmness, folding his arms across his chest, silently allowing me to vent in front of the large black U-shaped office desk at the home base. With a frown, Devin rose from his chair to be away from me, his body tensed. Standing on the left side of the casement window that allowed most of the newly radiant morning light into the circular-shaped office of pine-green, blue-gray, and champagne-silver colored schemes. There was no need for Dad to come to Wolkrane Fortress. My assignment to manage Alpha Camp, where I was training the future Alphas from aroun
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 31 - GIFT BOX
-VALEN’S POV- “Mate!” Unbelievable! Raina was not here. How could she be? She had school. Raj wasn’t the kind of father to let her miss class just to take her here for a visit. "Go to mate." My wolf, Zeus, demanded. "I want my woman." Now was not a good time for her to show up. Especially with all the Alpha males that were here with the unmated ones desperately trying to sleep with the fifty-one Alpha Females here. When they failed that route, the female Omegas sufficed. They would maul her. Although, I was sure that her visit would be brief. My heart terribly longed to be with her. My sweet, delicate, aroma-appetizing Bluebella. In her presence, I felt complete and once we parted, it was like a hollow lived inside of me. We yearned for her. My wolf perked up with expectancy of seeing her now. I forcefully pushed him to quiet down. Reflecting on her, I felt a glitter of joy etching into my hard facial features in hopes that she would walk into the office. Suddenly, I craved for h
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 32 - MOONSTONE NECKLACE
-RAINA'S POV- "Why is this happening?" I croaked as my eyes misted, getting blurry. I cringed away from Valen with my back against the wall, I slid to the floor, falling into hysteria. It was like my leg had been incapacitated and a lightning bolt had zapped my body from head to toe. The kiss had been unexpected but welcomed. What began as a dull sting on my face soon intensified, twisting into a barrage of jabs. At first, it was the shock of it which changed without warning to a painful burn converting such an intimate moment into a kiss of death. My hands touched my peppery, swollen crimson-red lips. They were so big, like I'd gotten liposuction and required healing. Stick them with a needle and they might pop like a balloon. My splotchy cheeks shriveled like a raisin. Shit! The sacred stone did not rectify the issues with our mate bond. My first kiss was absolutely horrendous. It felt like a whirring blade was slicing me up. It would scorch my memory forever. How sad. The moon
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 33 - ALPHA CHAPMAN
-RAINA'S POV- My heart eclipsed at Venus' text. Such a horrible accusation, it was. She had formed the misconception that I was enjoying myself immensely. o be very honest, I was probably going to feel depressed following this visit. -Venus: Traitor! -Azara: What the hell, Raina? How could you go to Wolkrane without us? -Venus: Did you see Vaheed? Is he there? -Azara: Are you too busy doing the hokey-pokey with Valen to have time for your friends? (Angry face emoji). Shit! I forgot to ask about Vaheed. Instead of replying, I guiltily shoved the phone into my pocket just as the Alpha sat beside me and held out his hand in my direction with a bottle of pineapple juice. Part of me wanted to decline the hospitality. Feeling a little thirsty, I took it and offered a faint smile, and brushed my hair behind my ears. "Thanks." Since he looked friendly, I needed a distraction from my inner turmoil. Besides, it’s not like I was flirting with him, or leading him on. Plus, he would not sl
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 34 - DISTRESSED
-VALEN'S POV- “Uhm.” In a repetitive rhythm, I kept the rapid strokes going with my hand coiled around my stiff elongated shaft. My dick was so hard with a raging pulse that I could not be around anyone right now. With my left hand bracing on a birch tree, my pants half-down, I pump my cock now in a twisting and pulling motion. The sun could not scald me because the shadows of the trees danced over my physique as I stood under their shade, self-pleasuring. My erection required handling. I fled to the forest to get away from Raina and beat up a tree until my fist eroded the bark and it tumbled over. "Agh." The flaming attraction I had for her was going out of control with the proximity of her. Even now, her scent has settled in my nostrils like a high chemical being sprayed throughout the air, only sweet and refreshing. The simple touch of her lips had sent me into overdrive. The hard boner was maddening. My restraint had snapped. The taste of her full lips was like a donut glazed
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 35 - HIS CLAIM
- -RAINA'S POV- "How dare you touch my woman, Chappy?!" Valen pinned the battered Alpha to the picnic table with strength that smashed it to the ground. The choking alpha clawed at Valen for a released that he would never get. Shirtless and huffing, half-shifted with eyes as black as the universe and a dark percolating aura of a swinging pendulum blade, a rumble of snarling growls reverberated from Valen’s chest. I kept my eyes on the only man that I wanted to be with and a smile curved on my lips. Luckily, Devin snatched me a few feet away before my handsome mate went in for the kill. I held my partially healed wrist in my hand and let go of the breath that I held when he showed up in my defense. All the bones had already pieced back together. The moonstone necklace produced almost instant regeneration. Tentatively, I scanned the group around us, making contact with many. Some Alphas were just running on the scene. Some of the expressions were more of concern than downright fear

-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

-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

-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

-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

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

-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

-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

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

-RAINA’S POV-“Devin, I thought you were going to keep me company.” I launched my voice through the mind-link, hoping for a response. “Dev?”Three seconds passed as I waited for a reply.Nothing.“You found it.” Vaheed’s voice snapped me out of the connection. His eyes softened and landed on the first aid kit in my hands.“Yes,” I answered with a smile, giving the kit a little shake. “Shouldn’t you be lying down?”He shrugged. “I’m feeling better.”How? I wondered. My eyes checked him over. With silver in his body, he would have fainted by now.“Well, you look like shit and smell like Swamp Thing.” I let out a tiny chuckle.Vaheed humphed, unamused. Bad joke, I guess.I stretched one hand out to him and bobbed my head to the side. “Come, let me clean you up in the dining room.”He stayed rooted and asked indifferently, “What's up with my brother? I thought he wasn't around.” He lifted his chin to look down his nose at me. “He’s unconscious. What happened to him?”“He, uh, er.” What sh
