-RAINA’S POV-

Finally, the suffocating meeting was over!

I dashed out of the office and was already outside the pack house. I cut across the neatly trimmed yard as fast as I could.

To get to the clinic, I would have to take my car from the underground parking lot since I could not shift into my wolf to get there. In times like these, I honestly missed Hera.

Things unfolded unexpectedly. No secret could be kept forever, but when I went in there, I did not plan to reveal my infertility. Lucky for me, today’s caucus exposed the astounding truth and so much more.

I could have kids. A part of me rejoiced like a happy camper. Although they wanted me to be popping out pups like a broodmare.

I sighed in exasperation at how much influence the Elder Council had over us. It was too much power for them to dictate our lives. I hated it.

Aside from that, the goal now was to find Peaches. It was imperative to talk with her. Valen blocked me from mind-linking him and it was very aggravating. Killing

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 182 - APT 3006

    -RAINA’S POV-“I'll take you.” Valen offered generously, hampering me from going towards Eddison.Turning to Valen, I trailed my fingers up to his neck, his jaw and pleaded, “Today was a lot for me. I'd like to unwind by myself, and we can meet up later. Plus, there's something I’ll ask you about.”“Then take the twins with you,” Valen suggested, anything to keep me from Eddison.Theo and Thaines’ eyes snapped up at us, awaiting my decision.“I'll be in good hands.” I mistakenly solicited.Taking my words literally, Valen’s lips pinched together in a hard line. His growl vibrated loudly when his dark, lethal eyes flicked at Eddison, recalling the way his hands were on me earlier.“I meant that Eddison will ensure that I'm safe.” I corrected and put on my flirty smitten-kitten-mitten blues while my fingers danced down his jawline. “In the meantime, you could shower and take me on that overdue date.”Valen’s tensed jaws relaxed with a smile that ricocheted a handsomeness overload that w

    -VAHEED'S POV-Stuck to the suspended web-like chains, I was like an agonizing bee that had lost its sting on a path to die a gruesome death.With my feet nine inches from the ground in the dark basement of clay bricks under the synagogue, my body hung off the wall in a silver web. Silver chains could not restrict me and this basement was not meant to be a torturing chamber.Therefore, the one called Dymian bound me to a network of thorny, powerful chains that could cut through the bone. My movements triggered Seff, who was my jail keeper, and he liked to use my chest as his dart board for his dry ice daggers. The wounds and gashes weren’t allowed to heal before he came back to re-open them.Bastards.My swollen black and blue eyes stared at the blackness in boredom. The sulfuric stench suffocated me to the point where my body was stuffed with it, feeling and looking half dead. My wrists and ankles were losing skin and becoming very raw. With a heavy stomach, I felt hollowed and drain

    -VAHEED’S POV-To punish me for my harsh words, Farrah groped my crotch. Her garnet eyes were slitted like a cat’s as I stared down into them. “Even dogs know how to be obedient and behave better than you.”Besides all my wrath and shock, there was a sparkle of awe. My wolf, Seidon, howled with joy.“Umph! Fuck!” I stifled a groan by biting my lower lip and shutting my eyes as pleasure washed me. Her vulgar touch was so stimulating.Intently, her fixated orbs glinted with mischief and delight that she had this power over my body. To her, I was an appealing object to play with when the others were out.Panting heavily, my groans resounded in the room. Brows drawn tight together, I fought against the pleasure. My skin crawled, itching hot with sparks as her hand cupped down my crotch.Her white eyebrows lowered and pulled closer together with interest. It displeased her that I was turning down her advancement. "It seems that you can’t handle the pleasure I give you."“Go to hell.” I bit

    -VALEN'S POV-“Baby that dress. Damn!” I remained unmoved, letting my eyes roam over Raina’s stunning body. It was a sight that stole the air from my lungs.I came to pick her up for our date. She was in her bedroom. She was very much ready to go in a sleeveless, black, heavy ribbed mini-dress with a high neck, and a golden chain that laced up the right side, extending from the hem all the way up and over the round mount of her ample breast, leaving peeks of bare skin to insinuate that she had no underwear on.“I got this pretty little number for you.” She twirled, slowly allowing me to feast on her angelic beauty.Certain parts of me stiffened as I soaked in the friction of her movements in that dress and the way her scent intensified.My mind seemed to be running a hundred miles an hour and my chest heaved with heavy breaths, dumbfounded at this sexy knockout that was all mine.The dress hugged her curves and clung to her body in all the right places, causing me to clear my throat a

    -VALEN'S POV-Raina frowned. “Poor Jakub was scared out of his boots after Benji force-marked him this morning. By the time Devin tore Benji off Jakub, he was bleeding out. Come on, Valen. Jakub was in the hospital being treated, and then he went to hide from Benji’s wolf, which had gotten out of control. Even Dad vouched for how traumatized Jakub was. What more do you want?”I wanted to open his skull because my gut hinted that there must be a link between him and Jiya.“Theo is interrogating him.” I assigned him to do it because Jakub would probably die during Thaines’ torturous session. “We’ll know more in the morning.”Raina thinned her lips and sighed. She licked them and a jolt of desire ran straight to my toes. I want to suck on her like I have pacifier syndrome. Instead, we continued dancing.I cleared my throat knowing we were about to tread on a touchy topic. “Raina, why didn’t you tell me that you thought you couldn’t have kids?”Her fingers and feet stilled, bringing our s

    -VALEN’S POV-Raina swallowed hard at the next words that were about to fall out of her mouth. “Give me Zeus tonight.” She said, fervently holding my gaze.My brows raised and my hands on her cheeks froze. “Oh.”Her words rolled around in my head and jerked my cock. That’s why she wore that dress. She was probably praying for me to rip it off her the moment I entered her bedroom. She’s so naughty and she likes it rough."Let him take me. Take me any way he wants." Desire filled her electric blue eyes. She smirked and slipped her arms around me, closing all gaps between us. "I want everything tonight.”“Do you know what Zeus wants to do to you?” I was so rapt with the manic lust sparkling in her eyes. My hands itched to be all over her body, making her go crazy for me. “You might not be able to walk in the morning.”Her breath hitched and her cheeks flushed. Without answering, she pulled my head down and crashed her lips on mine.The kiss was fast and demanding, using her tongue and li

    -RAINA'S POV-It was day two abroad the yacht and my mind was flooded with happy memories. I opened the door to the master cabin and Valen was sitting on the bed, leaning up against the headboard, reviewing reports on his phone.As usual, he was bare-chested, only wearing charcoal lounge shorts. My eyes soaked in his carved abdomen and chest to note the tension rippling across his impressive muscles, making me worry. He should take a break."Hey baby," he said, not looking up from his phone. "I’m almost done.""Yeah," I returned, knowing better.We just had breakfast and I washed the dishes while he retreated to the bedroom. He wanted to reply to his many messages and check up on Alpha Camp.When we came here for our date, I wasn’t expecting to spend more than one night. Apparently, Venus had prepared an overnight bag for me and sent it with the ship’s staff. They came once a day to prepare our meals and tidy up.I wasn’t disappointed or anything.

He reached up and raked his hands through my hair, sending the cool tresses cascading across my back.His rough hands slid down my back from my shoulders to settle on my hips as he pulled me closer."I should miss more showers," he teased, cracking a taunting smile.A quiet laugh fell from my lips. “Well, not too many,” I whispered as his lips captured mine.My hands slid up his bare chest before I wrapped my arms around his neck, deepening our kiss. His lips were magical, waking a fire, deep in my core as our tongues twined.Electric warmth burst inside my body, originating in my chest and rippling into my limbs and fingertips.His arms encircled me, crushing my breasts against his chest as he dominated our kiss.

    VALEN’S POV“She attacked me and knocked me out. She has me strapped to a post like some damn hostage. I don’t even know where I am.” Venus’ hysterical voice became shaky with fear. “What the hell, Valen? Is this a drill? What’s going on?”My face twisted in confusion and utter disbelief. “Put-put Raina on. I want to talk to her.”“He wants to talk to you,” I heard Venus telling her, breath stuttering.There was a soft rustling, and Raina’s angry voice came on the line. “Now you listen real, real good. You will do as I say, or your sister gets it. No more fucking around. What’s it going to be?”A pang of longing hits me, missing her sorely.“No. You’re not going to hurt her. Vee’s your best friend.” I called her bluff. Hopefully, she didn’t mean it. “If you want me, I’ll come to you. This is between you and me.”“Get your head out of your ass. You think this is a joke?” Raina snapped, which ruffled Zeus. “Who do you think you’re dealing with?”She went silent, which pained me.Then th

    VALEN’S POVGustav snickered. His tone was clipped and choppy when he said, “It’s not about a timeline. It’s about survival, and maybe once you’re gone, the bond will shift to me. I’ll become her new mate and treat her bet—.”A broiling anger surged within me, demanding release. My movement was quick, as I clawed the Worgen across the face, tearing off a chunk of his jaw. The force of it snapped his face to the right. He muffled a long howl.“Come on, tough guy. What? You aren’t gutsy anymore?” Devin steadied the guy’s face in my direction.Gustav released a mocking laugh as blood ran down his neck, trickling past his chest. “I was going to say—” He wrung his neck, wrestling his head sideways to spit curdling blood to the floor. “—pwah.” And then he gazed up at me. “We slept together, you know.”The pain and shock of his words slammed into me, nearly knocking me off my feet, but then, in a split second, Zeus surged to the surface. Fury charged through me like lightning, pushing me for

    VALEN’S POV“No one has ever lasted this long,” Devin said, after we teleported inside the Worgen's holding prison under my guardian lion’s supervision.In the Spessiale Dungeon, various clear tubes strung from the ceiling were plugged into Gustav's back to drain his blood to keep him weak.This was very effective since he looked sickly pale. Silver and vampire toxins were easily absorbed by his system, making the usual torture measures useless.Underestimation was deadly, so I had to find other options.Stripped completely naked, he sat on the blue calcite floor with his knees bent and feet tucked towards his crotch, ankles in cuffs.His hands were behind his lower back in black and neon blue handcuffs that could only be unlocked by Nyx’s magical command. Sweat had drenched his hair and body. His putrid smell lingered in the air.Devin stood with his feet apart and his hands in his jeans pockets.Heat radiated off me, and my abhorrence for this crab-louse made my blood boil. A murder

    VALEN’S POVA jolt of frustration ran through me. The ongoing search for Raina was long, complicated, and so painfully intricate that it hurt my brain.“This is insane,” I seethed, looking at the images on the large monitors before the Theta. “Patrol would have been able to stop Raina, but they never saw her. The magical barrier is intact. She has to be here, and I want her location now.”With one hand gripping the backrest of Jason's lofty chair and the other flattened on his office desk, I bent beside him as he nervously checked all the other video feeds from the drones. The computer trilled and beeped as his fingers worked deftly.Devin paced back and forth anxiously with his hands in his jeans pockets. “None of this makes sense. Raina is not invisible. We should have found her already. Huh? Venus is not here, and Azara hasn’t reported seeing her. Where could she have gone on foot?”“That slippery little Luna,” Theo grumbled, taking the tablet from his brother, and he slumped in hi

Thaines smacked him, but Theo’s disbelief refused to be whacked out of him.Repetitive growls sputtered from my chest as I paced the full length of Jason’s office, raking my hands through my hair.The impish Gamma spun around to address me, “Let me get this straight.” Perplexed, he scratched his elevated brow, probing, “Your Luna beat the crap out of you? Not only did she stab you, but she also whipped your ass and ghosted you.”Not answering, I shoulder-checked him with a deadly glare of utter annoyance. The Gammas, in their sweat-soaked gym shorts, gawked at me with wide cognac brown eyes, their jaws hanging open.A bloodthirst burned in my veins, and the air conditioning at the IT Hub did nothing to cool me down. Yet, Theo dared to peeve me with his buffoonery.With slow, menacing steps, Devin walked around the hi-tech rectangular table and hit Theo upside the back of his head, fed-

My body tried to curl in on itself – to replicate a spider's dead dusk, but he kept my flailing limbs pinned. My body heaved.Then, Valen pulled his fangs out, licking the punctured flesh and clearing the blood. Sparks erupted. Fucking sparks shot all the way to my toes.Each lick of his tongue was like morphine. Like a kick. I basked in it. I loved it. The bond was like being controlled by an entity. It was making me want him. Dammit.My body tightened, lungs squeezed and butterflies raged uncontrollably inside of me as he flicked his sinful tongue and dragged it wetly across my sensitive flesh.Focus, Raina! Don't let him swoop you in again. This can’t go on. I must bust out of here.“I want to fuck you, overstimulate you, edge you on until you're in tears, chanting your safe word,” he crooned.

His large hand came straight for my face to rip the goggles off.The room, like my fate, suddenly got darker.“You’re not so bad without your sword now, right?” Valen said mockingly. “But you certainly aren't vanilla and innocent either.”Once he crushed the goggles, he flung it into the wall. His robust right arm circled my waist while his left hand settled above my breast, slowly traveling up to my throat. Electric sparks exploded everywhere our skin touched.“Let me tell you something, Bluebella. You've unlocked a dangerous side of Zeus that even I feared,” he whispered huskily into my ear, gripping my neck. “But since you want to keep this bratty behavior up all night, challenging me, that part of him is going to burst out of his cage.”All the while, his emeralds were fixated on mine. He dipped his head over my shoulders. My flitting eyes watched him as my heart drum

    RAINA’S POVSlinking inside the Alpha suite with night vision goggles, I crept up to the king-size bed to see Valen tossing and turning in his sleep.Why wasn’t he dead yet?Moving surreptitiously to the side of the bed, I was thankful that my black leather catsuit blended well with the darkness. As quiet as ever, I held my sword tighter, angling it in a left-plow position with the long edge up.Committed to the assassination task, my blow had to be quick and precise, piercing the heart. I cannot miss this golden opportunity.Standing exactly beside the nightstand, I glanced down at the ripped muscles of his heaving chest. Grunting, his sweaty head shifted from side to side. His face twitched, and his closed eyelids flexed as he breathed jaggedly in his sleep.Cardamom and amber surrounded me, the potent scent wafted straight from the source into my nostrils. A mouthwatering scent, so maddening. Perilously beguiling. The bond beat against my chest like a bone-crushing drum. The physica

I did not care about what was up with these two. Raina was priority. The mate bond wrenched at me in a silent cry from her that only I could hear. Missing the softness of holding her hands and basking in her endearing presence, hugging, touching, gazing—I just can't go on without it.“I'm pissed too because the future hasn't changed and at some point, you'll give the dick away.” Devin aired bluntly. “How could you? After all those times you swore to me…”“I'll never cheat on Raina.” I cut in sharply, darting daggers at him.Unconvinced, he huffed. Then he spoke again, his voice quieter. "She loves
