VALEN’S POV-

Together, Theo, Thaines, Jason, and I pushed forward in our wolf form. Leaves and twigs crunched under our pounding paws. The sight of the full moon took its turn in the sky and the faint wind skimmed my fur.

The grim sound of battle reached my ears long before we reached the outskirts of the station. We arrived united, skidding to a halt as we met the bloody scene with hard eyes and fangs bared. The air was thickened with the stench of sweat, blood, and death. Gruel residues of combat.

Looking around the field for a target, the sounds of gnashing teeth, angry snarls, and painful shouts that had previously filled the air vanished with the rogues that swiftly fled through the tree line, leaving an eerie silence.

“Cowards!” I roared internally, anger filling my veins.

“Go now! Don’t let them get away!” Gamma Blayne shouted orders to a specialized team of elite wolves to pursue the escapees. He stood naked, heaving and curling his hands into fists, and his head whipped to spo

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 276 - AFTERMATH

    RAINA’S POV“Back off!” I yelled, not knowing what I expected, but the twin flame in my palm erupted, blasting the Vel’sothar back with a furious screech.The second one faltered, hating the light. Hera landed a brutal back kick into him, and he bumped into the other. Heads collided, making them dizzy, staggering about.Suddenly, Valen’s soul blazed brighter, and I realized that it was responding to the flame.His soul wanted to live. I positioned the flame at his chest, hoping it would seep into him.“I love you too damn much for you to do this to me.” I squeezed my eyes shut. “Come on, Valen. Come back to me. Accept your flame. Please.”Surprised, I flicked my eyes wide open to see what the hell was happening to me. A searing light burst from my chest. My very own twin flame exploded from within me, engulfing the Vel’sothars in a wave of golden heat.They howled and shielded their black sockets with their arms, retreating into the folds of the Veil like sprayed cockroaches.Silence

    RAINA’S POVThump-thump. Thump-thump. My heart hammered, fast and panicked, as I clutched the flickering ember still burning in my left palm. It pulsed weakly, as if exhausted by its effort to stay alive.I lifted my head to see the darkness shifting with movements. Thick tendrils of shadow coiled back from me, hissing with rage, leaving me in the shallow, green mist.Now what?The air was so thick and heavy, like breathing through acid smoke and sorrow. Its murkiness leaked with the strong scent of burned myrrh and old ashes. It clung to my nose as if grief had an unforgettable smell.Another day in another cursed paradise, I scoffed to myself.“Raina, get moving,” Luna Sianna prodded, her voice a drifting whisper in my head. “There’s not a minute to waste.”As I scrambled to my feet, I glanced around. My lips parted, breath shallow. The eeriness of the place crawled over my skin like cold fingers.“But I don’t know where to go,” I yelled, feeling flustered and hoping that Luna could

  • 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 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 pyramid

  • 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

    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
