All Chapters of MATES: REMNANTS OF A BETRAYED BOND : Chapter 431 - Chapter 440

DEVIN’S POVThe sigh Penn released sounded so defeated. She tore her eyes from me and slipped out of the bed. She picked up her clothes from the mattress, and my heart clenched in disappointment. This time, she didn't take the sheet with her. She let me feast on her luscious, naked beauty while putting on her bra. My lips parted, craving her round, soft breasts. They teased me like juicy, low-hanging fruit. I was practically salivating. I couldn’t move my eyes.My erection throbbed, straining against my stomach, roaring for her tightness. All the muscles in my body stiffened, and I closed my eyes to restrain myself.My wolf stirred inside of me, wanting our hands on her again, but she was so mad and hurt that I felt hauntingly guilty for dragging her into my problems. Opening my eyes to find her, she was still by the bedside, now in her panties. My eyes trailed over the matching black underwear, which highlighted the defined curves of her waist and hips. All the memories of her softn

VALEN’S POVDevin scoffed. “Let’s see if they give you any more of that alliance bullshit.”I rotated and re-entered the office. Tension swirled around us as we strode back to my desk, and I sat in my chair. Devin came up right beside me and folded his arms.I opened the laptop and logged into the conference meeting on PackNectX.The thumbnails came up with Llobell, Clemons, Beswick, Maothew, Tedesco, and Genocchio. All six Alphas were accounted for. They were sitting in their chairs in their offices. From the windows that were positioned in different areas of each office, I saw evidence of natural sunlight. Whereas my pack didn’t have the sun, because the medallion was here, not there.I leaned back in my chair and blew out a breath. Why hasn’t anyone said anything? My gaze scrutinized each of the Alphas. They looked weary, grim, and tense.“Alphas, you wanted my attention. You have it,” I commanded in a dangerously low tone. “Start speaking.”A man’s deep voice yelled. “Action!”Ins

VALEN’S POVRethinking it, I regretted it immediately. Why the hell do I keep mentioning that woman?“I'm going to shoo her like a damn fly.” I tugged Raina down onto my lap, circling my arms around her. “Just wait.”I quickly nuzzled my nose into her neck, keeping her captive in my arms. She deserved the same tight and secure hugs that her clenching core just gave me.She held her face away, and I used my hand to turn it back to me so I could plaster tender kisses all over it. I murmured my love for her while doing it.My sweet, beautiful mate was upset, so I continued assailing her with my soft lips until she began wriggling and giggling on my lap.When I stopped, she slapped my arm repeatedly to make me relax my arms. “Don't squeeze that hard. You could…”"You're so violent today." I chuckled, loosening my arms. I took her hand in mine, rubbing my thumb over her knuckles. "You keep striking me.""I'm just getting even. My body is sore. I’m pretty banged up.” She held my gaze with an

RAINA’S POV"Eclipse…don’t!" An earth-shattering scream tore from my throat as a connection within me snapped.I knelt in the lonely pit of darkness, unable to move, thrashing and screaming at the dark red moon. Only for it to start melting. Its waxy crimson drops dripped down onto my face like acid.My skin sizzled, and the pain shot into various parts of my body. Tears filled my eyes, and I couldn’t do anything but cry.I thought I was going to pass out. Then suddenly, the darkness warped into a suffocating red haze.My whole body trembled in agony, the pain splitting me in half. Yet, despite my body feeling like it was set on fire, a constant coldness nudged at me.I jolted up in bed, breathing hard as the panic attack became a full-on episode. With my eyes cast down at my heaving chest, my messy hair spilled around my brows as I grasped the jungle sheets around me. Whiffs of cardamom and amber snuck up my nose, and it helped a bit. I realized it was coming from Valen's oversized g

VALEN’S POVUnder the moonless night sky, I found Raina in the middle of an intense sword session.I plodded across the grassy ground and went up behind her. I grasped the blade of the sword. She swung around, and I stared down at her with a frown.Raina’s electric blues locked on mine, rounding in surprise, her chest heaving.A growl rose in my chest. I locked my jaw and forced it down before I said something I’d later regret.Look at what she’s been doing to herself again, pushing herself too hard when her body can’t handle the stress. Her sweat-drenched clothes and heavy breathing rang alarms in my head. She’d been relentlessly at it, out here in the dark trying to smash the medallion.“She hurt herself,” Zeus cut in.‘Well aware,’ I grumbled.Raina’s parted lips loosened a startled breath. Then her eyes sparkled with joy, and her face lit up. “You’re back!”“Don’t ‘you’re back’ me, Raina,” I chided, my voice trembling with both fury and worry. My fingers squeezed around the blade
