Semua Bab MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND : Bab 191 - Bab 200

-RAINA’S POV-“What is she doing here?” I demanded, swinging my probing eyes from Valen to her. “We have a full staff, and we’re not hiring.”Mercedes feigned a chuckle and muttered sarcastically. “Funny.” She smirked with iciness in her brown eyes. “You were so loud last night that I barely slept, Raina. I almost came to tell you to keep it down.”“I wish you did,” I sneered, “I could have strangled you sooner.”Mercedes just saw me dribbling my ass on Valen’s cock! Did she have a recording device with her to capture and release the footage? Or was watching us just some sick kink of hers?“When they said you were human, I had to see it for myself.” She let out a small, disdainful laugh.“Get out, Mercedes. I'm getting sick of your nonsense,” Valen interjected. His handsome face was screwed up into a scowl, positively furious.“Yeah. Stop being creepy and give up your man-stealing hobby.” I snidely remarked and glared at Valen, pulling at the sheet to cover my naked body. Unease poole

-RAINA’S POV-“Mercedes, I am going to drag your ass off this ship.” I launched over the white U-shaped couch, landing on the cushions and charging after her.Her eyes widened in fear and a shocked squeak escaped her lips, but she could not get out of Valen’s grip.A Wonder Woman force rose in me as I slapped one hand on Valen's forehead and the other slammed flat into her chest, shoving them apart.Valen ended up flopping back on the couch. The back of his head smacked on the headrest, while Mercedes sailed backwards, tumbling over the adjacent couch.“Crazy bitch.” She cursed me, getting up from the floor in a disheveled state, and shooting me cross-eyed daggers. Staggering to her feet, with a hand over her chest and blood painting her lower lips.With my back to Valen, I took a rigid stance with fists clenched, ready to throw her overboard. “Get up and let’s hash this out. And you better tell me what you want written on your tombstone.”Mercedes licked the blood from her lips and fl

-RAINA’S POV-The tingles from Valen's hands on my face were pleasing, and I knew he was taking comfort from the bond.Warmth fluttered in my chest as Valen gazed at me. His eyes were hooded with so much love and awe, trying to distract me from how much he was truly hurting. He was still weak, feverish and pale, unable to move from the couch.My brows furrowed, and my head tilted in confusion. “Devin is at Alpha Camp. I can't mind-link him at that distance.”Valen barely shook his head. Heavy perspiration trickled. He exhaled, very slowly, putting his faith in me. “You can. Just try.”At the same time, Mercedes came with a white, cold towel. She bent forward and lowered her hand to cup his cheek. I swat her hand away. She growled at me. I glared at her, fearlessly.In annoyance, I snatched the towel from her to place it on Valen’s forehead, patting lightly. Mercedes snorted and walked away to plop down on the other couch.“Visualize his teleportation ring—and mind-link him.” Valen soun

-RAINA'S POV-“Rai.” Vaheed rasped out like his throat was clogged.With ragged breaths, Vaheed’s bare feet staggered heavily from the aft deck towards us with one hand over his chest and the other stretched out for help.My mouth opened dry and I became teary-eyed, watching him. The relief of finally seeing him after months of his disappearance was almost too much to bear.Blood coated his forehead as it seeped down his full-bearded face from an angry gash that littered around his arm and neck. He was still his regular height, extremely tall and towering, but he appeared gaunt and brown from dirt. He had lost a significant amount of weight, so much so that it was heartbreaking. All of his muscles were shredded down to a slim build.It drowned me in an ocean of dismay the more I saw his body. His dark hair had lost some of its sheen, and it was now a bit longer, brushing his collarbone, matted and in disarray. His upper torso was bare and filled with hideous scars, fresh cuts, and bru

-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 Devin’s bloody body.“He didn't stand a chance and with loverboy sleeping, neither do you.” His brows knitted as he seemed to be listening for something.I shook my head wildly, beginning to panic. I glanced around frantically, “You brought the Worgens here? Where are they?”Releasing a distressful sigh, Vaheed held up his forefinger and swirled it in the air. “It's the other way around.” He dropped his hand, coming towards me.Smothering my weeping, I watched him cautiously. My heart thumped hard in my chest and I recoiled. I did not want him near me.His eyes widened. “They're coming.” His feet quickened towards me, bending and reaching out his hand under my knees to lift me. “I've got a p
