All Chapters of MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND : Chapter 291 - Chapter 300

RAINA’S POV“You’ve got some nerve eyeing what’s mine.” Valen’s vermilion eyes flared wild at Connery, his jowls curled back over impossibly long, sharp teeth. “Bold, but very foolish.”A low growl rumbled through the conference room. Death incarnate. Violence personified.No, not through the room. It permeated my mind.Every bit of air left my lungs, causing my shoulders to hunch as my chest caved in.“Holy fucking shit,” Theo’s voice echoed in amazement, breaking the quivering silence.“Son?” Alpha Vance mumbled, turning around with visible relief. “Fuck, I’m happy to see you, though you shouldn’t be here.”How was the king unfazed like this?My mouth hung open in disbelief, and my eyes refused to see anything other than Valen. My very awakened mate, or was he?I stood rattled, battling myself internally.Suddenly, a pair of hands clamped hard on my shoulders, yanking my body back into a chest. Connery.“Get off me!” I hissed, fighting against the strong arms corralling me. “Let me

VALEN’S POVHeidi's tipsy squeal stole our attention. Raina and I couldn't help but laugh at her antics and poor timing."Oh, my Gosh! You two look so happy. It's so perfect. I can't even look at you!" Heidi squealed, meandering closer to us."Thanks?" Raina responded with a laugh."The girls and I are about to play a little drinking game. Join us?" Heidi offered with a giggle."Sure," Raina replied happily before turning her gaze back up to me and placing one more quick kiss on my lips."Okay, we're going to need a few shot glasses and some vodka," Heidi said excitedly. She took Raina’s hand and led her away from me into the kitchen. Penn and Azara followed.Devin, with his eyes locked on Penn, shook his head, thinking loudly. “That witch can drink but can’t handle her liquor.”I licked my lips, savoring the sweet taste that Raina had left behind, and I took the chair between Theo and Isaac on the deck. I hoped Raina wasn't afraid of being alone with me, that it was not the reason wh

VALEN’S POVI plunged into Raina from behind, thrusting unrestricted and uninhibited. Each time harder and deeper, loving the sensation of her tight pussy wrapped around my cock.We’re both sweating and panting, and moaning...“More...please, Valen... don't hold back." Her moans got muffled against the bed as I got lost in the brutal pace, fisting the sheets for support. “Ngh.”“You got me so hard, baby,” I purr in appreciation. “Hard just for you.”My hand coasted up her back before entwining in her hair. I tugged her head a little and watched her third orgasm hit her, and then her fourth.Delirious with sensations, she writhed against me, her climax reaching its pinnacle as she boldly accepted each hard, untamed thrust. Rough. Wild. Intense.“Valen!” She screamed out my name in a yell of ecstasy, inciting me to unleash the beast. “Oh, goddess! Mother of…oh-ah-haa.”The burgeoning pressure in my dick lashed in me as I rutted into her. My growls rose as my shaft pulsed even more insid

VALEN’S POV“You can’t do this by yourself. We will help you. I promise.” I lifted her in my arms and went back to the couch, and plopped down into it with her in my lap. I kissed her forehead and her hair, saying, “We are going to find a way to silence the voices. Just hold on a little longer.”“You don’t know what it feels like. It’s like a million hands pressing on my skull, squashing my marrow.” Raina whimpered, her voice laden with pain as she rubbed the side of her head.“I still can’t let you go out there. I know you’re hurting, but going into the dark is reckless. I’ll lose you.” My voice shook now, thick with fear. “And I can’t, Raina, I can’t let anything happen. Not to you.”“Valen means well, Raina.” Hailey stepped forward, her hand raised in a calming gesture. “Your father mind-linked Blayne, and he has patrol sweeping the pack grounds. We will find who is behind this.”“I just want it to stop, and if I don’t go, they will come here,” Raina’s voice cracked with both fury

RAINA’S POVOuch! I woke up alone and groggy in the sunlit bedroom. I was lying on my back with the cover drawn up to my waist. I raised a heavy hand to my forehead. Pressure pumped steadily at the back of my eyes.My eyes hurt. So did my head.Great, another headache. I groaned as I got out of bed. I headed to the ensuite with a feeling of jet lag.Memories from yesterday filtered back. I was at Mom’s house. That’s why the bed felt different, and Valen’s scent was not here.On top of that, they drugged me. After I begged them not to, they did it anyway. I wasn’t that out of control. So it felt like a betrayal. It was hard to control the rising hurt and the sense of abandonment I felt.Still, I wasn't ready to face them yet, especially Valen, because he could have stopped them. So I took a long, cold shower instead.By the time I was done and slipped into a bathrobe, the clock read 02:19 p.m. I glanced around the room, and when I saw folded clothes on a chair, I sauntered over and pic
