MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 44 - QUERIES
-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. “

-RAINA’S POV- Flushed red, I wondered what he planned to do. Something lewd was hinted at, but could we? It was going to hurt me, so what could his intentions be? Was his libido that great? Technically, he did not receive any pleasure. Was that what he was after? There was the threat of him losing control again. Such a thought made my breath hitch, and my body felt overheated and suddenly sweating. The pain and pleasure were not so bad until he kissed my lips and it was nothing but excruciating pain that lashed me. Had it not been for the moonstone necklace, I dread to think that I might have been hospitalized again. Maybe I was overthinking. I haven't finished eating my pizza. One slice was successfully masticated but the second was half-eaten. "I'll need clothes to change into and I have none." I liked looking fashionable at all times instead of wearing oversized clothes that weren't mine or ladylike. Wearing his t-shirts at home would be awesome but the thought of traveling with

-RAINA’S POV- A sudden, soft groan snapped me out of my reverie. What was that? My ears pointedly tried to latch on to the direction of the grunts, searching for the source of the noise. My hearing led me to determine the source to be behind the bathroom door. “Ahh―” Once at the door, I held my head next to the beige wooden surface, pressing my ear against it to try and interpret the sounds. The strange grunts continued and I wondered what he was doing in there. Without any hesitation, I tugged at the door knob. The door swiftly budged open. I intruded to peek and a warm, humid gust of air greeted me. The temperature inside the room seemed to be hotter, making me feel like I had just entered a spring warmed by the afternoon sun or a sauna. My eyes widened at the sight through the foggy glass-enclosed shower. I gasped in shock at the unexpected show of Valen. “Hah… Aughh…” Unsurprised, he eyed me racily and kept beating his engorged stallion length under the artificial rain that

-RAINA'S POV- "Stop right there!" I whisper-yelled and sprinted out of the bedroom. “Wait!” The level in my voice raised as I went in pursuit. The shower was still running as Valen took his bath. I was sure that he'd be able to find me once he saw that I wasn't there, so I chased after her. In the hallway, a glimpse of her floating white hair and giggles went down the stairs. Determined, I followed suit. First, she was at Dark Wolverson and now she was at Wolkrane Fortress as well. Apparently, she followed me wherever I went. This woman was up to something and it was time to tell Valen about her after I caught her today. I recognized that she might pose a threat. But what does she want from me? And that was the thought that kept running through my head. Am I her target or could she be trying to get to me for a bigger purpose? She jumped over the brown leather couch in the living room and ran out of the townhouse-style cabin. I leaped in the same fashion. Once I got as far as the

-VALEN'S POV- All of us kept silent. Devin crept into the kitchen to help himself to some pizza. Raj stalked him and procured a glass of bourbon from the liquor cabinet. Avoiding what she had inquired, I stared down at how adorable she was in my arms. Raina got extremely irate and yelled, "I am sick and tired of everyone keeping me in the dark! No more secrets!" In an effort to get away from me, she pushed against my arms. The dreary thoughts lingered that she would want to rush off to do her own search for Vaheed. Thus chasing after him, risking herself. So my reservations about keeping her in the dark persisted. But I knew that she would bug me until I eventually told her. Tomorrow, Venus will be aware. By then, she was sure to call Raina. Consequently, Raina would be angry at me for keeping this from her. Although it was for her own good. She did, however, reassure me that she did not have feelings for anyone. It would probably be all right if I told her now. I reinforced my h

-VALEN'S POV-Here I was, frustrated and pacing the length of the living room. I just wanted to cuddle her and smother her with kisses. I sank on the couch. My curvaceous doll came over and knelt between my legs with pleading doe-eyes that were softening something within me. My eyes dipped to the lush plumpness of her cleavage. Damn, they looked spongy and enticing.We ought to be on the beach for the picnic I was thinking of having underneath the starry sky. Instead, Raina preferred to have us debating on what should be done for Vaheed. Now I regret telling her about his disappearance. I ran my hand through my hair before I would give in to the inclination to touch her.Raina might wear a tough exterior and could convince many others that she was strong because of who her parents were. However, none of that mattered to me. To Zeus, she was the most beautiful and frailest she-wolf we’ve ever encountered. It was our right to protect her and be out of harm’s way. How could she talk abou

-RAINA’S POV- Valen carried me all the way to his bedroom. He sat me on the edge of the king-sized bed and went to the walk-in closet. He returned with two pairs of gloves. The black ones he took for himself and the white ones he gave to me. "Babe, what's up with the gloves?" I cocked a brow upward in perplexity. He put the latex gloves on, strode to my side, and touched my face. Immediately, I got the picture. There were no sparks but at least his hands could caress my skin with the gloves on. My face lit up with a smile and I put them on. "Nothing is better than physically touching you, but this might be a temporary solution." His hand did not leave my cheek. Forgetting the issue at hand, I jumped on him and pecked his lips. Only a small amount of fermenting occurred since the action was rapid, and the healing was instant. When his eyes turned pitch black, I knew I was in trouble. I roused Zeus in the same way that Hera kept pushing for him. I shouldn't have done that because

-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
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 222 - FRIEND OR FOE
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
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 221 - POTENTIAL TROUBLE
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

VALEN POV-“This coffee is shit,” Theo’s deep grumpy voice complained, almost spitting the liquid from his mouth after taking his first sip from the cup.“Too bad, I thought it was the perfect flavor for you,” Jason sassed with a cocky grin from around his grand U-shaped desk with the multiscreen computer system up and running.“You are the greatest hacker I know, and you can build the most advanced techno shit. That you can do, but you can’t make a damn good coffee?” Theo exaggerated, gesturing to the hot cup in his hand.Jason huffed and turned his head back to the computer screens, typing away on the keyboard. “Screw you.”“I would, but not today. You’ve got to buy me a beer first,” The Gamma twin jested back and stepped over to Azara with the coffee in his hand, giving it to her.We were at the IT Hub, which was Jason's domain. It was a fawn-colored, single-story federal house located across from the Training Center. He worked hand in hand with the Gammas, being our eyes from the
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 219 - RANSOM NOTE EFFECT
VALEN’S POV-I side-eyed Gamma Blayne furiously. He immediately bowed his head and averted his gaze.The stench of blood got stronger, permeating my senses, causing my legs to speed up. I can't stand the thought of any more of our members getting hurt or killed."What the hell..." I trailed off as I inched closer, crouching down and examining the line of dead bodies. It was just downright sick and twisted to use them for a ransom note effect.A chill entered the air that made everyone shiver. Raina’s eyes widened at the gruesome sight.Venus gasped, going pale with a hand flying over her mouth. “This is barbaric.”All their necks were slashed by claws and two of the deceased were used for the punctuation marks. Reading from left to right, it stated: ‘We have not forgotten, and we are coming for her.’Gamma Blayne crouched at the lifeless body next to me. He touched the wound on the man’s chest, inspecting it. “The gashes aren’t as deep as you’d expect, but this one got a double tap en
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 218 - EMPYREAN STOPWATCH
VALEN’S POV-Together, Theo, Thaines, Jason, and I pushed forward in our wolf form. Leaves and twigs crunched under our pounding paws. The sight of the full moon took its turn in the sky and the faint wind skimmed my fur.The grim sound of battle reached my ears long before we reached the outskirts of the station. We arrived united, skidding to a halt as we met the bloody scene with hard eyes and fangs bared. The air was thickened with the stench of sweat, blood, and death. Gruel residues of combat.Looking around the field for a target, the sounds of gnashing teeth, angry snarls, and painful shouts that had previously filled the air vanished with the rogues that swiftly fled through the tree line, leaving an eerie silence.“Cowards!” I roared internally, anger filling my veins.“Go now! Don’t let them get away!” Gamma Blayne shouted orders to a specialized team of elite wolves to pursue the escapees. He stood naked, heaving and curling his hands into fists, and his head whipped to spo

VALEN’S POV-“What’s my Alpha doing in a place like this?” Albert the old bartender had the nerve to joke as he wiped down the triple-fronted bar counter with a chuckle.“It’s a bar. What crime have I committed?” Although he was jesting, I was in a foul mood.Arbitration Day with those bumptious Alphas has finally ended. Things at Alpha Camp were going well with Valiant. Devin’s still in his coma and Raina seems to be in a bad mood. She was madder than a fucking hornet and shanghaiing my mental space.Yesterday, everything went downhill. Devin’s condition showed no change and I did not find the damn Worgen. I came here to clear my mind from the weight of failure that settled over me.All I wanted to do was head to Raina’s room and hug her. But knowing that she’d probably bring up Mercedes again, I detoured here. The thought of her name made the beer in my hand so damn distasteful. Out of panicked desperation, I’ve been spinning my wheels all day to come up with a way to get through to
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 216 - PAC ENTREATY
RAINA’S POV-Theo bent and picked up the folder. He placed it on the desk and fell back into position.The file contained four candidates. Me being one of them. It depicted the Alpha cabal, who represented seventy percent of the werewolf kingdom, voting on whom they advocated to be Queen. Mercedes gained the highest votes, while I had a meager one percent. I saw Tallulah Rumer’s photo, an Alpha-Female from the Rym Greyback Pack in New Zealand. Next was Kristen, the Alpha-Female Valen pitted me against in the sparring competition for the world to see.Then there were pages of signatures and pack seals to officiate the petition in demonstrating which candidate held their favor. This was the beginning of an uprising. It could plunge the kingdom into chaos if Valen’s choice upset them.My heart chipped away at the daunting situation. Mercedes bowed her head to hide the gloating smile that curled on her lips.Okay, I see you Mercedes.“Your Royal Elders marshaled me for the task. Their old
