-RAINA'S POV- Having a late lunch, Dad and Alpha Vance sat in the Captains’ Lounge on the second floor, which was reserved only for them. It was a fine day for sure, ambient and kind to the eyes as the sun's rays lit up the entire area in a crisp brightness that complemented the spacious seating arrangements and beautifully decorated tables and utensils sparkled in its glare. Pissed and heartbroken, my dour mood ruined the day for me. I stormed to an empty table and pulled a mink-gray bergère chair from it to theirs. Its gold metal legs rumple the moss-green carpet that covers the complete floor. Plopping down like an overworked woman who has had a bad day, the gloominess aired out with a prominent scowl on my face. "What's with the attitude?" Dad curiously asked while chewing, fixing his chestnut-brown eyes on me. When my eyes landed on Valen who entered the room and slid the triple sliding glass doors closed, I rolled my eyes and frowned deeper. His scent intoxicated me to no end
-RAINA'S POV- Tears. Only my heat made me cry. Other than that, I've never bawled like this. Well, there was that time at the hospital when I thought I would lose Valen because we were unfortunate soulmates, and right now that familiar despair dwelled like a house filled with rodents in my gut. Unwanted but hard to get rid of. Hyperventilate-crying, I sniveled miserably, wiping my face countless times with the back of my hand. Surrounded by various trees and the noisy inhabitants of the forest, I blocked the mind-link. I'll lay my back on the green grassy floor of nature for about five minutes to stop the flow of tears and recompose myself. Wispy clouds in the sky produced a soft golden filter. As though rooted to heaven's ether, the sun grounds itself in the blue. Around me, the world was vibrant due to the light of the sun, which accentuated the forest's most vivid hues. Like the pink carnation, the typically large, spectacular, and brightly colored tulips, and the elderberry sh
- RAINA’S POV- As much as my lower half was shielded by my dark gray jeans, his fondling fingers on my pussy delivered a sweet sensation. I could not help but moan with pleasure. He smirked deviously as though he intended to swallow me whole. Like I was the juiciest woman in existence. Raw and intense sex appeal seeped out of him, affecting the normalcy of my heartbeat. Those spellbinding eyes lost their green, totally submerged in a sphere of blackness and ardour. His deft thumb seemed to have found where my clitoris was and massaged the area over and over. Spasms of pleasure crept upon me. A compulsion to rip the jeans off and give him full access took over. "S-stop," I breathlessly whispered, but he kept doing it. Slightly raising, I grabbed his hand on my stomach to cease his ministrations. Unfortunately, I had to let go due to the piercing burning impact that my palms endured. I hissed from the pain which evaporated due to the pleasure in my lower regions and the healing eleme
- RAINA’S POV- Modestly, I gripped the waistline of my jeans. “We’re in the open and it’s daylight.” Hope festered that he would abdicate and let me get up from the grassy ground. Valen quickly reined in his wolf and shrugged. Regarding my flushed face, he whispered breathlessly in awe, "Beautifully mine," as he parted my legs to his heart’s content. His impression was completely altered by the earlier fear in my flitting eyes. His piercing eyes grew smaller, wonderfully curved, and his hard lips softened, making him look like an innocent boy. Though his lewd intentions corrupted that image in seconds. A curiosity surged about how it would feel to have his expertly enticing mouth sucking on my lips with his calloused hands on my hips. Although, I was not sure what exactly he was going to do with me trapped on the ground. “Do not fight me, mate.” His raw thick tenor surprised me and his hand pressed my body down. I swallowed hard and looked at him in perplexity. I desired him wit
- RAINA’S POV- When I expected him to help me up so that I could put myself together, he remained motionless. Enjoying me in this wanton position with his hand at the hem of my black top, on my abdomen. He was too animalistic to care about the public forest around us and the chances of anyone going on a run who might intrude. When I get up, I could imagine the amount of florets that I would toil to remove from my tangled burgundy hair. I was convinced that my hair was so messy that I probably looked like I was electrocuted. “Do you want this mate bond? Am I the man that you want to spend the rest of your life with?” His fingers tapped my knees, while his eyes searched my face. “Yes, I do.” Though I was a shameless disarray, I eagerly expressed, “I lov……” No. It was not the time to admit my feelings or how smitten I was, so I sealed my mouth. I couldn’t tell him when I was congested with many insecurities. Additionally, I was sweaty and feeling very dirty from previously writhing
-RAINA’S POV- Valen bit into the spongy upper inside part of my breast, then grated, “Do you think that is something you can get away with?” Pain replaced pleasure, then pain again. The cycle repeated as his ministrations continued with the sharp edges of his teeth leaving bite marks on my skin. Bitter tears streamed down my cheeks. I clamped my lips together to prevent a scream. Canines bit my perked nipple. Tightly closing my eyes, my hands dug into his shoulder blades. “Open your eyes, mate!” He growled. Rage red. I had threatened to let another touch what was his. Now his wolf would make sure that I patently understood not to cross that line by taking it out on my body. Cracking one eye open, I was afraid that seeing him nibbling on my rosy bud would sap even more of my volition, including my flurry brain’s receptors and my will to be a resolute, uncompromising woman. My body stiffened and then shook. His lips closed around my areola and roughly suckled my tit for four second
-RAINA’S POV- I was riding my high and feeling drained of all energy. One more orgasm and I might lose consciousness. Today's experience will give me wet dreams for a lifetime. "You are the most gorgeous woman on the planet but I'm pissed at you." Valen changed the mood although his voice was sexy. His mouth twisted into a sensual smile, confident and virile as he combed the sprawled strands of my hair. "Why?" My eyelids drooped with molten desire. I managed to ask through my mushed mind. I thought that I was the one who was angry at him. How did this turn around on me? "Did I reject you, Raina?" His hard glare studied me. "No." Truthfully, he might not have said the specific words, but I felt shunned, which had me assuming maybe soon he would do the rejection. "Did I tell you that I was leaving you?" I shook my head. Technically, he didn't. I do, however, firmly believe that one's actions speak louder than words. He flicked his tongue over my nipple, keeping the contact longe
-RAINA'S POV- “You know,” I akimbo and looked him square in the eye and enunciated all my sentences. “It’s a violation of privacy. We might be mates but we are entitled to our own personal space. You can’t do things like this.” “Of course, I can. I’ve been doing it since………….” He trailed off and rubbed the back of his neck with a clearing of his throat. “Eh-hem.” His gaze wandered elsewhere, refusing to hold my flaming one. “Since when?” Both of my brows shot up. I shoved my phone into the front pocket of my jeans. Valen stayed suspiciously silent, realizing that I was furious. “Have you been hacking my stuff?” “I only did it this one time because you announced to the whole fucking world that you were single, which would give men the hope that they could have you, which is not possible.” He growled at me, sending daggers from his stormy emerald orbs. “Men like unattainable women. It’s a challenge and we love to hunt and chase until we get the prize.” His tenor went up an octave. “
-VALEN'S POV-Materializing in the darkness at the foot of their king-sized bed, I found my parents spooning in a cuddle, deeply sleeping.Dawn's light hadn't graced us yet, but this was important, so here I was. I tried not to startle them, although they had to have smelled my presence through our wolves’ kin bonds.“Mom. Dad.” I kept my voice soft enough.With a snap of my fingers, I flicked the ceiling light on without their permission. The illumination flooded the vast, opulent master bedroom. This should spring them up."Valen?" Mom complained groggily, squeezing her closed eyes. She scrunched her face, lifting her hand to shield her eyes from the slap of the brightness.“Grrr,” Dad growled his annoyance and muttered inaudibly. He kept his eyes closed as a sign that he was not going to entertain me. His strong muscular embrace tightened around Mom's waist as he buried his face in her neck.They made no move to see why I had disturbed them like this, but I wasn't going away.“Dad,
Hello Lovelies,I though I would have been able to upload a chapter by now, but as it is, I can hardly find the time to do so.As mentioned some time ago, two relatives passed away in previous months. The first funeral will be this weekend and the second will be held the Saturday before Christmas. As such, there is a lot of preparations to do as well as to accomodate and entertain guest and visiting relatives.Therefore, I am here to apologize about the delay in chapters and kindly ask for your understanding because this month is not so merry for us.The story will resume soon.Thanks for your patience.#Much love!Virtually yours,O'Chantal.
RAINA’S POV-Valen’s brows creased, looking baffled. Then he tutted dismissively, not taking me seriously.“It is taking a toll on your body, and you must do it before Gamma Blayne releases her from the cells,” I said, searching his face, but all I saw was confusion. I dropped my gaze, afraid of his hesitation.Slipping his fingers from mine, he lifted my chin to bring my eyes to his. “Tell you what, I’ll send Mercedes back to Canada.” My chest tightened. “It’s not the same.” I lowered my gaze to keep my composure. I focused on the steady beating of his heart to smother the ache piercing through mine."Baby, look at me.” He demanded my eyes and when I flicked them up at him, he added, “There will never be a third party to our mate bond." His conviction was strong, and I wanted nothing more than to believe him.“Stop denying it.” I retorted, nudging him in the side with my elbow. “Mercedes came on board sometime last night, and you didn't even stop her.”Valen became serious now, and
RAINA’S POV-Goddess, I truly hoped I was wrong, but where the hell were they? Plus, it would be better to be there with Valen when he found them, or all hell would break loose.The rest of the day went by quietly. Mom and Dad went off to their meeting with Alpha Vance which ended before dinner. It was a somber event at the pack house with none of the usual light-hearted conversations, just small strategic talk and planning, heightening security, and so forth.Gamma Blayne was sending the elites in deep to help pinpoint the enemy's location. The warrior’s role was more to defend and support where they could block any retreat and aid if they could.Worry scraped on my heart. This wasn't cops and robbers and the bad guy would get jail time; this was life and death.Dad was supposed to flank in from the west and attack with Valen, who would be coming in from the southeast. Their plan sounds solid, but that’s if Valen returned safely. Other than that, something was bothering me, but I hav
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.
-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
