RAINA’S POV

Thrashing chains and low growls awakened me.

Throbbing pain in my head and neck fully pulled me from the realm of unconsciousness.

Bright light broke through the cracks of my eyelids, and I grimaced.

“Ugh,” I grunted as my heavy eyes shot open to stare up at the old ceiling, both exhausted and wired.

Where was I?

Oh, right. The trial. Gustav captured. Escaping Valen. Abducting Venus. Agreeing to trade.

The memories slammed into me. V-Venus? The chains continued to rattle, and I rubb

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 410 - POLARIZED

    VALEN’S POVSeconds crawled, and the minutes slithered by.Vaheed still hadn’t moved.A nerve-racking knot coiled in my chest as the room froze in the torturous silence.Elders Jacob, George, Grandpa, Mitchell, and Sybil stood shoulder to shoulder while the Alphas remained behind them.Devin folded his arms, his jaw tight. On my other side, Tallulah clasped her hands together, her eyes already glistening with hope.All eyes were locked on Vaheed with abated breath, praying for a sign that he had been cleared of the darkness.In dreaded impatience, Raina’s nail tapped the mirror. “Look up, Vaheed. Give me a sign.”I blinked down at her, and my heart sank at her sadness.I pursed my lips and inched closer to her back, threading my fingers through the bulk of burgundy hair at the side of her face.“Baby, perhaps he’s weak after the ritual. He might sleep for a while before he can talk to us,” I stated softly, gently running my fingers through her silky strands. I knew it was going to be

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 409 - BLOOD WARD

    RAINA’S POV“Right. This is for Vaheed.” I pursed my lips and lowered my head.I did not like relying on Jiya’s power. I was unsettled about it, but what else could we do? There might not be another option to help Vaheed.Valen sensed my disconcertment and clipped my chin with his fingers, lifting it to gain my gaze. “If Jiya succeeds today, that’s just one accomplishment for her. So stop looking at what she can do because what you mean to me was never up for comparison. It doesn’t decide your worth. It never will. Okay?”I nodded with a smile.He nuzzled his nose with mine, which elicited a soft giggle from me.“I made sure Vaheed will be unconscious throughout the procedure. No one can go in or out of the dungeon without my magic. You’ll be safe until I return.” He pecked a kiss on my cheek and then my lips as his body shimmered and vanished.The room was unnervingly quiet and chilly. It was my first time here, so I glanced around a bit. I was surprised by how futuristic it looked.

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 408 - EXPIATE

    VALEN’S POVDespite her soreness, she planted her palms on the mattress and leaned sideways. “Well, it beats the alternative.”I blinked in mild confusion as she raised and reached out both hands to me.“Come here, you idiot,” she beckoned lovingly. Her expression was so heartwarmingly soft, and her eyes filled with quiet devotion.I swear my heart jumped with hope. I released a shaky breath and shot up off my knees.Bending at the waist, I pressed my hands onto the bed to brace my weight as I let my face rest in her soft, cuddling palms.With the gentlest touches, her thumbs wiped my tears. The sparks... my body shivered beneath her fingertips.With a sad smile, she whispered, “I’ll forgive you because I know it’s hard for you, and because love's not about getting everything perfect. I guess as long as we keep finding our way back to each other, without betrayal, we can move forward.”With a sigh of relief, I bolted into the bed and hurriedly pulled her into another passionate kiss.

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 407 - INCERTITUDE

    VALEN’S POVThe minute I walked into our sun-lit bedroom, Raina stirred in the king-sized bed. She shifted on her side, her fingers crimping the edge of the white cover over her ears.I shoved my hands in my jeans pockets. My shoulders caved as I stood in front of the bed.For several seconds, I watched her silently.All I could think about was my moment of weakness when I got swayed by Jiya’s pheromones. I got a vile taste in the back of my throat from the memories. Remorse tore through me. The shame was unbearable. And I was nervous about how she would react.Unable to bear the distance between us, I ran a hand through my loose hair and then moved to the side of the bed.The mattress dipped when I climbed in beside her. I braced on my elbow and inhaled deeply. She smelled heavenly. So divine.“Rise and shine, sleeping queen.” I placed my other hand on her waist, gently rubbing the curve of her body as I stared at her beautiful half-covered face.Her dark brows were furrowed, and her

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 406 - N’ZAN AVDIJA

    RAINA’S POV“You chose her,” I croaked, feeling more tears brimming. “Nuk-symos proth-kai thar-fros! ”I wasn't sure how those strange words blurted out of my mouth, yet somehow I knew they conveyed my meaning, that he was rejecting me for her.His forehead creased as if he were confused, even taken aback.“Na-proth. N’zan-avdija,” he rasped, a flicker of remorse roughening the beast's voice.Somehow, I understood him. Not rejected. Never leaving.He gripped both of my shoulders, and was careful not to let his claws hurt me. He leaned into me with his head tilted, his searing red eyes completely focused on my wound.“Then stay by my side,” I whispered, “Trust me. I’m mate.”“Mate,” he echoed in a throaty groan, and I saw his emeralds tentatively breaking through. “Need mate.”Very gently, he pushed me onto my back on the grass with my knees still raised. He loomed over me, planting his hands on the ground where my shoulders were.Hot tears streamed from the outer corners of my eyes as

  • MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND    CHAPTER 405 - LUST-RAGE

    RAINA’S POVI couldn’t ignore the pain of watching the man, who normally put me above everyone else, become enthralled by another woman…leaving me to be nothing but background noise.“Is that all you’re going to say?” My voice came out low and broken.He did not look back or bother to give me a response.My heart clenched from the bitter humiliation, and the pain in my chest intensified.Has it really come to this?Still, part of me wanted to go after him, not to give up, although his determination was clear. My stomach churned and began to cramp as I watched him slowly climb the first step.This wasn’t going to end well for us, not if he successfully mated her.Theo wasn’t letting him off so easily, though. “You’re not setting another foot toward her.”Valen reached the last steps, only to be pushed back by the determined Gamma.My Alpha mate roared deafeningly, and it shook the ground.That didn’t deter Theo. He pummeled punches into Valen’s face, driving him backwards. With every h

    -RAINA’S POV-“You killed him, you sick psycho!” I screamed at Vaheed with tears raining down my cheeks.“I didn’t do it. Don’t be rash.” Vaheed frowned, and he placed a finger on his lips to shush me. Where was his empathy? “But you knew he was attacked!” I shouted amidst my sobbing, pointing at Devi

Never see Raina, my mate, again in any lifetime, get it?”“I will, and I shall,” Gustav challenged."Shut the fuck up,"

I'd like to unwind by myself, and we can meet up later. Plus, there's something I’ll ask you about.”“Th
