-VALEN’S POV-

Directly after I teleported Raina to Mom’s chief medical office, I mind-linked her that Raina was safe and with me. No matter how much I tried to put Raina on the bed to lie down for examination, her arms would not unwrap from my neck.

“Don’t let go.” Her heart was racing at an incredible speed.

So, I lifted her trembling legs and let them encircle my waist with one hand under her buttocks, holding her. I kissed her temple, leaving my cheek on hers.

“I didn’t want to ― I didn’t mean to ― Valen,” Raina repeated with a low cracking voice, sniffling. Her moist button nose pressed into my neck.

My free hand caressed the length of her back in an attempt to give her warmth and security. I whispered in her ear. “It’s okay. You’re my strong queen. You had no choice.”

Her clothes were soiled with dried blood and grime. Plus I wanted to quickly check her body and in this state, I was hampered. It hurt to see her like this. I was feeling a lot of things and Zeus reminded me that he

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 274 - TWIN FLAME

    RAINA’S POVThe night held its breath, giving off a sharp edge of fear.A hum and a whiff of something ancient, something not of this world, wafted through the atmosphere.The grief-stricken Luna stood at the bedside, whispering Valen’s name in between soft sobs. Her hands hovered over him. One held an ancient, cracked handheld mirror, while the other hand, with fingers sprawled, disbursed glowing healing essence.The dark, olive-skinned witch sat in a runic circle of violet-incensed candles, chanting steadily, her voice low and resonant, muttering words in Greek, Gaelic, and Lykubian.Most heartbreakingly, the translucent ghost of the crown prince teetered on the edge of death. A ragged sob ripped from my chest, and I shook my head again and again. My mate laid as still as a corpse. No flesh. No breath. No life. Already gone.“His soul is faintly there.” Marlena, dressed in a black tunic and jeans, paused her craft as I staggered inside.Scattered around her were small relics, three

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 273 - ERASURE

    RAINA’S POV“Where's Valen?” It was the first thing that spurted from my mouth upon entering Alpha King Vance's home.Venus and I rushed into the somber foyer after Devin opened the front door. My heart thudded with panic in my chest. Valen’s vague message was burning in my mind. It was very unsettling, and I needed answers now.“You might want to talk to Luna Sianna first.” Devin closed the door behind us, looking shabby and woeful, like a mourning man.Something was up.Concerned, Venus and I hurried to the living room, and the air shifted.There was an unmistakable gloominess, filled with the low, heavy voices of Uncle Blayne and Uncle Duke. Alpha King Vance paced back and forth in the walkway by the stairs, cursing under his breath.“They got him,” Uncle Duke murmured, hunched forward on the single couch facing me, rubbing his jaw. “It wasn’t silver. How can there be no change?”Uncle Blayne slumped back in his chair, staring at the ceiling. He shook his head, his voice gravel-thi

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 272 - MONKEY WRENCH

    RAINA'S POV“Oh, Raina, here’s the story that no one told you about. It’s in the Wolverson archives. The one where, every twenty years, the vicennial Alpha King’s reign comes with a curse. Sometimes it’s power. Other times it’s wealth, but this time, it’s his mate. You.” Mercedes’ tone darkened, too calm and rehearsed, like she’d been dying to tell me this. “The trend doesn’t lie.”My eyes drifted to her, narrowing with mistrust as I stewed over and then doubted her words. She wasn’t so unreadable.The moon’s silver light filtered through the tangled branches above Mercedes’ head. As they kept her pinned to the tree, the chilly wind shifted her hair from her eyes, revealing a cold, serpentine glint, as if the moon itself were exposing the liar she truly was.“I don’t know anything about that,” Venus muttered, folding her arms.“Believe it or not, right after Snow came to me, I studied it, and all the signs pointed to you.” Mercedes curled her lips bitterly. “The goddess’ will is clear

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 271 - INVOLUNTARILY THWART

    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, under the faintest silver glint from the moon, Mercedes was surprisingly caught when Thaines and Azara aggressively latched onto her arms.“Gotcha,” Azara grinned in triumph as they swung her around to face me.“Real mature,” Mercedes said sarcastically, her neck popping with attitude. Malicious brown eyes, bright and slitted, stared hard at me. “I thought you had moved on from the last time you tried this stuff. I guess there's no personal growth for someone like you.”My overworked ankles must have been thankful when I halted right in front of them, the faint burn lessening.Leveling my eyes on the wolf-napper, I responded, “If it weren't for you, all that I've been through wouldn't have h

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 270 - RENEWAL CUSP

    RAINA’S POVAzara tugged my hand, gently pulling me towards her as though we were sharing a secret. Her voice was light with laughter. “Don’t worry, Rai. After tonight, you’ve passed with flying colors. The moon goddess reacted to you. You've got an important purpose.”“We admire your strength. None of us expected this much game from you, but it's quite thrilling,” Theo appraised, his eyes glinting with admiration as his lips took on a sly smirk. “Our resilient little Luna has gotten stronger. You are a hell of a fighter.”“Well, it comes with age.” I flashed a playful grin, helping myself to one of the skewers in Venus’ hand. “Technically, I’m fifty years older than you.”Everyone laughed while feasting on their anticuchos. It was a good-natured sound.“Ha-ha. Eh-heh.” Theo’s laughter was the loudest. “All I see is a 5.0 upgraded version,” he mocked, holding his hands to his chest before flipping them open with theatrical flair. “Raina with a vintage soul.”My jaw hit the floor at his

    RAINA’S POVMy shoulders started to rise and fall as I huffed big breaths, trying to fight back tears, but it was no use.“I'm not okay," I said softly, my voice barely audible, and I leaned my cheek into his warm palm. His touch was my anchor to sanity, a tingling tether that kept me from spiraling into the darkness of my past trial."I know, Baby, but you can handle it," Valen replied, making his deep, gritty voice soft for me. "You will be fine." He continued, resting his hand on my lower back. “I wouldn’t go if I didn’t have to.”My forehead fell against his shoulder as I tried to steady myself. He pressed a kiss to my temple while his hands smoothed over my back in a soothing gesture.I inhaled deeply, engulfed in the scent of cardamom and amber that reminded me of home. His earthy scent filled my senses, calming me for a minute.Understanding the circumstances, Theo pulled up by the stairs at arm's length beside us with a crooked smirk. Valen and I cast our eyes on him.“Damn, I
