All Chapters of MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

-RAINA’S POV-For a while, I walked through the area to meet and greet a few Bolivian and Ugandan Elders and Alphas. Venus disappeared, taking the girls with her. It did not bother me. There were so many enthusiastic faces that expected to have a moment with me.Approachable and humble, I interacted with them until my feet hurt, and I decided that it was time to have lunch. Luckily, they freed me from the social binds.“Peaches!” I spotted her under the blue infirmary tent. I waved her over. “Oof!”I bumped into something.No.Someone. Oops!Quickly, I lurched my hand out to grab her arm, keeping her on her feet. I checked on the old, gray-haired, short woman that I almost knocked to the ground. “Oh my gosh! Are you okay?”The wind blew her wizened and straw-like hair as she raised her saggy chin. She wasn’t smiling, but her wrinkled eyes, a deep, amethyst color, laser in on me as if I was her target for the day. Warily, she took my hand in hers. Her touch was light and gentle.“You wa

-RAINA’S POV-Theo couldn't wait to bite into the smoked rabbit fast enough. Shimmying and wiggling his butt, he did the tasty food dance as he chomped on it. When he started rocking, you knew it was knocking down that drool from his mouth.Thaines, in his glory, gnawed on a large barbecue rib bone like a feral pup."Bah ha ha!" I couldn't help but laugh as he snapped at Benji's hand when he tried to grab it.Glancing around, I saw everyone in a shining light. Free-spirited and merry. There was no longer a secrecy barrier separating us. This fun funky time was rather refreshing."So, what's up with you cooking an entire butcher shop today, Vee? I mean, it's great, don't get me wrong, but there's so much food!" Penn exclaimed with her lilac eyes sweeping across the delicious feast as she masticated a grilled pork chop.Venus beamed while chewing and twirling her napkin. "There's no such thing as too much food here. Leftovers will go back to the pack house kitchen and won't last long. Mo

VALEN’S POV-"Valen!" Raina moaned out my name as I filled her to the hilt.Our bodies melded together on the bed as I kneeled behind her, and she was on all fours. The crescendo of our desires built up into a dynamic explosion, flaring like fireworks across our skin.“Yes! Oh, baby.” She mewled out a delicious melody as my cock pulsated inside of her slick drenched hole. She milked me for everything I had as her legs trembled in an attempt to meet the heavy pressure of my climax.Raina wanted me to stay like this. Our bodies compressed with my dick embedded deep, fucking and feeding her until she was a whining, whimpering mess. Until she was struggling with the mind-blowing sensation. Until her body couldn't keep up with her desire for me any longer.Yesterday, as soon as we got back to the pack house, she told me to ruin her. We ended up in the Alpha suite, and she showed me that she meant fucking her until she was completely burnt out. Unnerved by Venus’ proclamation, she wanted to

-RAINA’S POV-The bond strummed, coaxing me to glance at my mate. Valen’s sharp jewel-like eyes fixed on me, building a warm sensation in my gut. Silently, I understood the message they conveyed. I could feel the pull from inside of me that he wanted to hold me in his arms. It was soothing.“Don’t focus on the one reason you think you don’t deserve this, that you overlook the other hundreds of reasons why you do." He whispered through the mind-link.Valen moved from the Tuscan pilaster and stepped forward to the table to stand by his Dad’s side. Bracing his weight on his knuckles, he leaned over the table rather intimidatingly, oozing power and dominance.Maintaining our eyelock and knowing that they would take this as impertinence, I uttered just the same, “Not having a wolf does not affect my ability to lead and stand for my people. I'm still brave, considerate, and committed to the realm. Who I am is not defined by the crown or my wolf, nor does it negate the fact that I am Valen's

-RAINA'S POV-"Your womb is ……. perfect. You are fertile. Bring me the infertility report now." Luna Sianna informed us, crossing one arm across her chest with the other hand under her chin.No way! It’s impossible! Disbelief swelled hot the back of my eyes. I was dumbfounded.Shoving away my bloated emotions, I answered slowly, "It-it's upstairs.”"Go and get it." Her tone was laden with authority and anger.Without uttering a word, Valen teleported me to my room. He was a steaming mess but oddly clammed his mouth, sealing away words that kept his emotions at bay. I've caused him trouble again.We manifested in the office, disrupting their previous discussion.Luna Sianna snatched the report from my hands. Her icy-blue eyes scanned the report, deeply focused. The Elders had their bushy brows pinched together and pinned me with accusatory squints. I shivered and shrank into myself. Valen hugged me protectively.“Valen, I ―” I began through the mind-link.“Let’s not talk here. It’ll be
