All Chapters of MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND : Chapter 331 - Chapter 340

Trig. W.: if childbirth is something you'd rather not read about, go ahead and skip this chapter. There is no loss.VALEN’S POVI turned away from them and pressed my forehead onto the cold stone wall, breathing hard, shaking.“Your Luna is on the line,” I snapped with irritation. “I should be in there with her.”“Hear my voice of wisdom, Alpha. She’s doing what she has to do.” Jason approached me and placed a heavy hand on my shoulder. “No cross-planet journey is far enough to break the pull that will bring her back to you.”Maybe. But the terror didn’t vanish because she was my entire damn world, and that door had swallowed her whole. Who knew what she could be facing? And she was all alone. I couldn’t stop worrying about her.“I can’t just do nothing.” I glanced at him over my shoulder.“There’s a head! Somebody, hurry!” A distressed she-wolf cried, drawing their attention.Azara and Penn must have rushed to her side because I heard footsteps running away from me, and their voices c

RAINA’S POVSeeing my confusion, Selene leaned closer to the glass and diverted, “Let’s get to why you are here. I know the wish burning in your heart. I’ve always known. And yes—today, I will grant you that wish.”Hearing that, my heart didn’t leap. It was because I questioned her sincerity. Was she being real? Or was this a con? The presence of Artemis alone was enough to make me wonder if this would turn out to be any good.If the moon goddess lacked the power to acquit herself, she could also lack the power to fulfill my simple wish.“I will.” Selene’s voice echoed like it came from the inside of my chest.Wait. Did she just read my mind?“You didn't have to bring me here just for a wish. A dream would have been nice, you know,” I groaned, scrunching my face. “Everyone is going to ask me about you when I go back. What will I tell them, hmm?” I continued sarcastically. “Oh, I'm sorry the moon goddess can't govern the realm right now. You see, that's because she's inmate number five-

RAINA’S POVFuture Valen was sitting on a worn couch with a white-haired woman. Snow. She curled up on his lap with her head on his pectoral and his arms wrapped around her. Her cheek nuzzled his chest, and her battered shoulders rose as she breathed deep, taking in his scent.They weren’t happy.They were comforting each other in a dingy den, with other grieving people around them, hugging in huddles. From the looks of it, I gathered that the underground bunker had evolved into a small city since above ground was crawling with furcans.Worse still, it hurt seeing them together, him without me.Somewhere along the line, Valen moved on. Our matebond, shotgunned.My heart shattered all over again, my chest in pain like a knife was stuck in it. I sank on the stool, my shoulder slumped like Bell’s palsy hit my entire body.Tears welled in my eyes, and I kept them low. I get the gist. She hasn’t mentioned my death. She didn’t have to. I knew how it was going to end.“So I'll lose him anywa

VALEN’S POVMy body tensed, bristling.Raina stepped closer, and the single brush of her shoulder against my arm made me exhale, the tension loosening as her soft skin pulled me back from the edge.My eyes dipped to find my mate’s blue eyes looking up at me, her brows knitted with concern.“I'm not asking you to trust them,” Raina mind-linked, “I'm asking you to use them. That’s what they’re here for.”“Minutes ago, that didn’t seem like the case,” I replied as softly as I could, reeling in my temper.Still, I didn’t like the first prick. Now there were two more thorns in my side. I really hated how prickly this situation was getting.Figaro slapped a palm on his forehead, and my eyes drifted to him.“Ughhh.” A long groan escaped him as he tilted his head back and closed his eyes, lost in thought. “The last thing I remembered was seeing Dymian rip Phobos’ head off clean and Selene crouching and crying as she clung to his decapitated body. Never seen her so aggrieved and angry when she

RAINA’S POVSleep came fast.I awoke slowly, groggily, unsure of my surroundings.Opening my eyes, I found myself in our alpha suite. I must have dozed off when Valen teleported us to Dark Wolverson.I stretched over my arm to reach for him, wanting his warmth close, the security of his nearness. Huh? Bewilderment seized me when my hand touched nothing but the cold mattress, instead of his comforting heat.For a moment, I didn’t move. I just stared at the ceiling before sweeping my eyes around the dim bedroom. Moonlight barely breathed through the curtains, but the fluorescently bright bathroom had its door cracked with the soft clinking of bottles. It was then that I heard the hush of running water leaking from the bathroom.Valen. He was there.Pushing away the thistle blanket that covered me, I sat up, and my hair spilled over my face. I raked back the strands and crawled out of bed, naked except for my green underwear.I had to fight off a sudden wooziness. I hadn’t eaten yet. It’
