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

-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

-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

-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

-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

- -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

-RAINA’S POV- “Is that why you came here?” Valen asked, roaming his emerald eyes on me, which flickered into black for a moment, letting me know that Zeus wanted to come out. They crudely undress me. Hera was lured enough to attempt to push open the doors of my mind. “No. I came here to see you.” I frowned that he had the wrong impression all this time. “But it seemed like you’d rather be around Mercedes than me.” A fierce jealousy gnawed at me. I turned and walked down the pathway, passing two recreational buildings. The voice from the brief phone call that we had yesterday replayed in my head. It was definitely Mercedes. “Don’t listen to rumors,” Valen said, trailing me. “You ran away from me. You always avoid me. Why?” I kicked up a fuss with my hands gesticulating my frustration in the air. “Some things are hard to explain, Raina.” It was a painful whisper that aggravated me. “I’m your mate. Try me.” I stopped at an intersection where the utility structure and maintenance an

VALEN’S POVThaines brushed the rubble off Theo’s body as the cloud of dust around them slowly cleared. Footsteps of the emancipated clergy pattered behind us. I held up a hand to stop them from drawing closer. Alarmed, they muttered some prayer and made the holy sign across their bodies, watching the scene.“Damn. How bad is it?” I growled, fixing my eyes on my roguishly lightheaded brother, on guard if he decided to attack anyone else.“Alpha,” Theo gaped and gasped. He struggled to swallow and stuttered his speech, “I appreciate all you’ve done.” His voice wavered. “We had some good times.”“What are you doing?” Devin asked angrily, jolting up to stand and looking down at the Gamma’s supine body.“I’m dying,” Theo choked out and sucked in a shuddering breath. “M-my soul—”Devin shrugged dismissively and growled, “It was a blank blast. Quit it, Theo!”Highly annoyed, the guys hissed their teeth and cleared the wall. I rolled my eyes at his inappropriate antics and rubbed my forehead

RAINA’S POV“It was so easy for you to bail on us,” I muttered cynically, training my eyes on his emerald-eyed scrutiny. “You’ve broken your promises to me, remember?” I pointed at myself, getting worked up. “You refuse to help me with the sword, and you intentionally withhold information that could fix everything. So tell me, what went wrong? What was the problem? I have a right to know.”Mate bonds are hard to switch off and forget that they ever existed.Fated mates are next to impossible to elude.So, it was nerve-racking and upsetting that Future Valen’s muted, desaturated green eyes were soulless towards me. This heartless man had no problem crushing my fragile heart. I suppressed a sob, focusing on knowing that my Valen was back home and he loved me. I reminded myself to bounce back into some positivity.Future Valen bit his lip, staring hard into my desperate pleading eyes. He remonstrated gruff and tightly, “Whatever it was, I fixed it. I’ve kept Snow here while you were supp

RAINA’S POVTo dampen my fear, I swallowed tightly.“You should have listened to your witch,” Valen’s doppelgänger hissed, emeralds glittering with ire. “Did you think coming here would impress me?”From ground level, he resembled a mighty hunter with hands ready to draw…to snipe and shoot me when I was down.Well, I rose to my feet with striking resilience like a forest fire ready to scorch and burn. “I’m here for two things.” I squared my shoulders and lifted my chin defiantly. “To open this damn globe and to get Hera.” I eyed him steely and added bitterness to my tone. “Don’t stand in my way.”Since he’s not nice, I won’t be nice either.“Is that so?” He did not move, didn’t blink, only held my rigid gaze.“Yeah.” I stepped towards him, straightening my spine and hardening my expression. I stopped shy of his chest. “I couldn’t care less about who you’re shagging up here.”“Hmm.” He folded his lips and nodded his head repeatedly in a sarcastic manner.“Because this cozy little life

THIRD PERSON’S POVThunderstruck.Several aspects of what the Worgens saw were unexpected. The fighting scene between the Alpha Princes had them tight-lipped and uneasy.On a cauliflower-shaped cumulus cloud in the hot, blue sky, Seff, Jarvaldo, Rovell, Farrah, and Dymian watched keenly at the brawl on the concrete roof below. Rovell navigated his clouds with stealth in order to conceal their location from the irritating eagle guardian."What the fuck?" Rovell exclaimed, forgetting that they were covertly hanging around to evaluate their enemy's power and skills.Observing Valen would inform them of the level of power that protected the werewolf kingdom. A chain was as strong as its weakest link. Sadly for them, Valen appeared strong."OMG!" Jarvaldo muttered, half astounded and half pissed.Seff snapped his quizzical eyes at him. "OMG? Is that a new weapon? Show it to me!” He said, peering down at the brawl and earnestly searching them with his eyes for some shiny new weapon. “Show i

VALEN'S POVA dark, menacing harlequin flooded each iris. There he was, grunting, thick with scorn. “Well, if it isn’t the realm’s treasure.”Scanning over his appearance, the dirty pants that he wore were threadbare. The afternoon's cool breeze blew open his unbuttoned shirt, billowing at the sooty material to expose his bare torso. The hems of which were jagged. He expelled an offensive odor, which intensified by the minute and seemed to go up to the little hairs in my nose to stick to them.Vaheed’s putrid stench nauseated me from a distance and the sun's rays were evidently kicking his ass. He perspired like he'd been beaten in a marathon he had just run in the sun's barraging beams.Finding him at last, provided minor relief. The search was over. Now I had to ensure that he did not slip away from me.Cautiously, I assessed his aura. Zeus shifted within me. He brooded with impatience. We knew something was off because we felt a darkness within him."Zuzu, what do you read?" I aske

-RAINA'S POV“I can't stop. I won’t stop. Not until I get my wolf.” I replied with all seriousness, showing my determination. Then sadness overcame me when I thought of everything that crashed into my life. My voice dropped, softening. “I'm scared, Valen.”This doppelgänger was as impassive as the first time I met him. This was the Valen who was incandescently in love with Villainess Snow, also known as the nefarious Mercedes.Scanning his features, his edgy mohawk had gotten a lot whiter with a sleek shine. From this angle, the loose black strands were barely noticeable with the bulk of his long hair combed over to the right. This time a thicker, short beard covered his sharp jawline, and he pinned me with a hateful glare. Strapped and overpowered.“Then find your mate.” He simply said, annoyance still palpable in his demeanor.I shook my head stubbornly. “I need some answers, or I'm stepping through.”His eyes hardened at me. Anger, like stone, set in his features.“Why did you try

RAINA'S POV-“When your Grandma said she would keep my snow globe safe, she really wasn't kidding,” I muttered with sarcasm as I walked down the dark passageway. Our feet thudded on baked black mud with its walls decorated with brown-black, twining, trunky vines.Leading with a torch in her hand, Pennelope chuckled and then uttered with dramatic emphasis, “Grams never—and I mean never joke around.”“Your home is creepy as hell,” I swear the big vines moved sometimes.Witches' houses were truly a haunted horror for intruders. You could get in, but only the goddess could help you to get out. A modicum of dread weaved through me, but with Penn here, I thought I would be alright.Get it together Raina.It's amazing how the home could transition from a lovely spacious cottage on the upper floors and then descend from the basement into a whole murky forest with thin, white smoky ghosts popping up here and there, whooing around. Ancestors, Pennelope called them.Marlena told me the snow glob

VALEN'S POV-Zeus' volcanic rage was swarming me. It was hard to control him like this. I never expected Devin's revelation to propel my wolf into a hissy fit. Vaheed's attack on my best friend left a bitter taste of betrayal.Not to mention, his actions with Raina were incomprehensible because he was marked by his own mate. Once again, my brother was after my mate. Why? I thought we passed this stage, but no. He’s a damn dickhead who has gone off the rails.“Alpha, did you get the new location?” Jason’s voice came through the communication earpiece.“Yeah,” I replied in a not-so-nice tone. “We’ll move in five.”Nuuk, Bahia Blanca, and Isiro were fruitless. This was the last sanctuary that was on our agenda to investigate. However, Heidi had found that this one in Waipu had a branch in the United States. Pennelope also confirmed high amounts of camouflaging magic that were widespread across the town. All of its energy waves pulsed from that synagogue.I stood to the side with my rifle

VALEN’S POV-I caught Jason standing from his chair with his head down. He was scratching his forehead with his palm blocking most of his eyes, but I saw them sneaking upwards to watch out for my reaction.Guilty as sin. He had to be the culprit who provided the girls with everything they needed, including war gear, despite that he knew how we felt about our women on the battlefield.I growled at him.“We're coming on the mission.” Venus was always the boldest to speak first.With hands on my waist, I rebuffed, “No, that's a negative. You've been up all night, and it’s two a.m., plus the Howl De Lune cannot be planned by itself. The team and I will be gone for days.”“Cleo and Mom are here,” Raina argued, failing to see my point. She shrugged and emphasized, “I’m safest when I am with you.”“Mom left you in charge.” As I spoke, my feet crossed the space to draw closer to her. “Everyone else has to be here to assist you. Besides, the Bolivian and Ugandan wolves rely on your presence. Y
