All Chapters of MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

- 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- 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- 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- "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
