MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 404 - ATTRACTANT
RAINA’S POVThe blood rushed from Jiya's face, leaving her ghastly white. Her eyes flitted over the council. She swallowed, getting as flustered as a bee caught in a jar. Her confidence was completely gone.“I-I…I…” she stuttered, breaking out in cold sweat like a guilty sinner at communion. Then she broke into an arrogant rant. “So what if she has the moonstone? Her bond will never be blessed. One day you’ll live to see her bleed.”“Show us you possess the queen's authority,” Elder Victor pressed with calm scrutiny. “I want to see if you also have a connection to the moonstone.”“It is quite simple. Lift your hands and center your thoughts on the moonstone,” Elder Sybil tried to help.We waited and waited in the anxious silence.When Jiya hung her head, the audience grew restless, buzzing with murmurs.“Did we just corner her?” I asked, shifting my gaze to Valen. I was still holding out the moonstone, and my hand was growing tired.“Well, she hasn't tried,” he said softly, dipping hi
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 403 - OSMANTHUS
RAINA’S POV“If all things should be fair, I don't really have to dig into a clay pot, do I? I just need to get the osmanthus moonstone, right?” I queried, my heart beating at galloping speed.Elder Mitchell's mustache twitched as he opened his mouth, but it was Elder Victor who agreed, “That is correct.”Just like I wanted.I sucked in my bottom lip between my teeth as I swung my gaze to the galdron and then to Jiya. Elder Sybil stood next to her to support her stance, hugging her sideways.She was already healing, and she held up the osmanthus moonstone with a smug expression. “You don't have to do this, but then again, that will make me queen.”She laughed and coughed, choking on her insufferableness.I clenched my hands at my sides until my nails bit into my palms to ground myself.When Jiya was doing her test, I was thinking about the sacred Coyolxāuhqui stone. I remembered when Valen and I swore on it to never kill each other. At the time, we stood in the divine ritual circle an
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 402 - REDAMANCY
VALEN’S POV “Wait!” Raina stepped out of my grasp, and they froze.Boos echoed from the crowd, and a low rumble escaped my throat.“What now?” Elder Mitchell gritted in agitation, throwing his hands up as he swirled around to her.“Watch yourself, Mitchell, before I make you bend your gnotted knees to her,” I growled thunderously, stepping past Raina with fist clenched.My eyes dilated, darkening on the old man when Raina's delicate touch stopped me solid. Her small hand on my bicep tugged me back.I huffed, tempering my rage and granting her my gaze. My pupils contracted, flickering back to their green tenderness.She wasn't looking at me, though. She had her gaze on the Elder, which vexed Zeus.“Please shuffle the pots. Valen and I were not here when the setup was done. Therefore, I would like for Elder Marlena to use her powers to rearrange the pots before each of us enters the glass galdron.” Raina requested firmly, before anyone else could rebut, she addressed my grandpa, “Elder

-VALEN’S POVAcrid fear bled from the crowd. I could smell the thick apprehension stuck on them like a leech. I knew they sensed the shift in my aura and were intimidated.“Weaklings and cowards,” Zeus thought, picking up every stuttering heartbeat and shallow breath echoing through the stadium.Wentz flinched but quickly disguised his fear, though his blue eyes were on the ground when he spoke with the right amount of respect. "As Alphas, we will carry out our duty by the Order of the Moon Goddess’ Will to ensure the one who shone can fulfill her role.”“All of your duties fall under the Alpha King and his heir. It might work out badly for you to stand up there and be part of this fiasco,” I gritted viciously, eyeing him with scorching intensity. “You’ve got guts standing there like I can’t throw you all in the damn galdron.”Carson gulped but stood defiantly, hardening his black eyes and keeping his voice leveled. "We are not defying you, Alpha Valen. But we should be allowed to vo
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 400 - GALDRON
RAINA’S POVValen and I stiffened. My heart thundered to a halt, and my gaze jumped from Theo to him.My mate’s face hardened. He asked aggressively, “For what? I’ve heard nothing of the sort.”“That’s all I know.” Theo’s unsettling gaze shifted towards me.“I guess we will have to find out when we get there,” Devin said with concern, glancing at Valen.“It better not be another audition for the senior citizens’ soccer league. All they ever did was miss kick after kick, and I'm talking about hours into the game,” Theo commented judgmentally. “The ball stayed in one spot, literally.”“I doubt it's recreational.” I shook my head, knowing very well that they had to be up to something.“They're playing their hand,” Valen deciphered, low and caustic.“Already?” Penn asked in disbelief.Trouble squeezed at my gut, and I began fretting. My grip tightened on Valen’s hand, and I swallowed hard, feeling my heart thumping in dreaded anticipation.When it’s not one thing, it’s the other.I glanced
MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND CHAPTER 399 - MUSCLE RHYTHM
RAINA’S POVAzara’s auburn eyes widened in panic. “Um, no. Bad combination.” She shifted her eyes to our witch friend. “Tell her Penn.”“I wouldn’t want her near that medallion,” Penn replied promptly, looking at me. “We’ll keep trying.”Azara blew out a relieved breath. “I think you just saved the whole world with that one statement.”“Point made,” I conceded, sheathing the sword on my hip.I appreciated that we wouldn’t have to involve Jiya, knowing the distrust we harbored towards her. Deep down, I feared that if we had to consult her, she might lean toward thinking the medallion could be more useful to her than to be destroyed.As we sipped our cool drink, we diverted our attention to the guys who were going head-to-head with matching grins.Although Valen’s wide back was turned to me, his large and dominant energy oozed formidability. My eyes soaked in every flicker of his tendons, every contraction of his muscles, catching his tattoos and fast reflexes as he moved about.I bit m

VALEN’S POVA sudden, thunderous bang exploded against the thick wooden doors of the temple.Everyone flinched.Writhing shadows moved under the door, alarming the gang as they bolted from the chairs and rushed over to the edge of the ritual circle.“I can still hear them,” Raina whispered, her voic

RAINA’S POVBefore the sun rose, I decided to run a few miles before hitting the gym later.When I got to the Training Center, I dropped my gym bag on a bench on the shaded patio and peeled my blouse off before heading into the yard to stretch.Knowing that the Elders didn’t work on the weekends so

RAINA’S POVStrappy heels like mine weren't designed for running. Nothing screamed ‘go for action’ like rapidly sinking into the semi-packed dirt, which annoyingly slowed down my pace to a wobble.By the time I narrowed the curve of the dark cabin, my heart lurched in relief. Right then and there,
