The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 29
Chapter 29(Katrina)I sat up from bed as Rowen walked into my room and softly shut the door behind him. I had changed into a pair of shorts and just a tank top for bed. My hair was up in a bun, out of my way, and I’m sure I looked like I hadn’t slept in days. That was true. The ritual had to happen as soon as possible, but looks like I wasn’t the only one running on no sleep. “Hey.” Rowen said softly. “Hi.” I replied. He came and sat on the foot of the bed. I watched as he rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. He seemed a little nervous. “Are you ok?” I asked him and I put my hand on his arm. He looked at me with those rose gold orbs and I just melted. I hated the way I felt around Ramses’ brothers. I worked so hard to be faithful to Ramses, even though he didn’t reciprocate it, and that was fine! I have literally never been tempted by anyone else. They can all fuck themselves, for all I care. But when it comes to Ramses’ brothers, it’s like they are a drug to me, and I can’t
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 30
Chapter 30I’m not sure when I drifted off, but I woke up intertwined between Ramses and Rowen. A flood of memories raced back into my mind from last night, which caused me to silently scold myself for my inhibitions. I planned to tell Ramses first thing, once he was back. I contemplated getting his permission and just having my way with Rowen, but I didn’t actually think I would be able to go through with it. My undying loyalty was sickening at best, and I knew this. But that’s just who I was. I looked over at Rowen and he was still asleep. I turned over and just stared at my ceiling for a moment contemplating the events that were to take place today. The ritual to open the portal required six Human sacrifices... We would be murdering six innocent people today… And in doing so, spilling a lot of innocent blood. These sacrifices would not revive either. It was heavy, but necessary… I didn’t care if it took 100 innocent sacrifices... I was getting Ramses back. The lengths I was will
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 31
Chapter 31It took me quite a bit of time to get the incantation just right. I didn’t want to miss a thing. Everything was riding on every part of this whole ritual being perfect. To say I was stressed, was an understatement. But when I finally was able to get it right, I felt that it was perfect. It definitely took longer than I wanted, but it was ok. I would rather take my time and get it right than fuck up trying to hurry. I was surprised though, because Rowen sat with me the entire time and offered his help. He was fluent in Latin, as they all were, so he was able to help out with translation. I was honestly getting used to him being around and I didn’t like it because I knew he would be gone as soon as Ramses came back. He had his own covens to run in the underworld. He had his own home, his own space. He didn’t live in New Orleans… He didn’t belong here, he didn’t belong with me... The thought made my heart ache.The biggest difference between Ramses and Rowen is, Ramses was a
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 32
Chapter 32(Ramses) Sage and I had come to the middle point between the two X’s on the map, and stopped there. Everytime I pulled out the map the X moved but only between those two spots, so I figured this was as good of a spot as any. There had to be a reason they were moving between those two spots, and with as weird as things are around here, I didn’t doubt for a second that the portal would be opening up right where we sat. It was the best option we had, in my mind at least. The spot we were in was a clearing between the forest edges. It seemed like the only clearing in the whole area, which confirmed my thought even further that the portal would appear here, vs either of those other two spots the X marked. I just hoped we were here in time. I still wasn't sure what time it was, or how much time had passed. The sun never rises or sets here apparently, and things always just look the same. Sage attempted to talk to me multiple times, but I just kept brushing him off. I needed t
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 33
Chapter 33Small flakes of bronze fell from my wings as I flew up to Sages level. The bronze flakes fell softly, like snow, spreading bronze flakes across the ground. Raziel was next to join me. His wings were gold, leaving gold flakes floating softly through the air. Raphael's wings were silver, shedding silver flakes rushing in the wind. It was then that I realized Rowen wasn’t with us. I knew he went to check on Katrina. Something bad must have happened to her, because he hadn’t returned. A panic struck through my guts like an ice pick as I glanced over to see him cradling her body in his arms. I couldn’t tell if he was crying, or not. As much as I wanted to rush over there with them, I couldn’t leave this battle. And we were going to need Rowen too. I mind linked him. “Brother, I know it might seem bad but we need you… Otherwise all of us will end up the same.” I pleaded. “I know.” He said back calmly. Within seconds he was airborne, with a pair of rose gold wings sprouting fro

Chapter 34Kember let go first but Kiera didn’t seem to want to. She pulled away from me after a few moments. “I love you, Ramses. I’m glad you’re ok.” She said, and she kissed my cheek softly. Then she turned away and started walking with her sister. She hung onto my hand until the last second when she finally let go. “I know you do, beautiful.” I said softly under my breath but I knew she heard me. I then materialized to Katrina. She was in her bedroom, lying in her bed. Still unconscious, but her heart rate was increasing so I figured she would wake up here soon. To my surprise, Rowen wasn’t in her room with her. I sat on the bed next to her and I just took in every feature. She was so beautiful, even in this state, covered in soot and dried blood. I was the luckiest man in the world to have her attention. I know just how my brother, Rowen, was feeling too. I know it had only been a few days for him, but it didn’t take long to realize how special this woman was… I moved some of
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 35
Chapter 35(Rowen)“You will be ok, this is going to work. Everything is perfect.” I whispered into Katrina’s ear. I could tell she was extremely stressed trying to make sure everything was perfect. She seemed to overthink things and overstress in serious situations, but she always made sure shit was perfect. In fact, she was perfect. I sat there for a moment and just admired her. Even in her most stressed out state, she was radiant. We were sitting here, in her living room with six blindfolded women. All of which we were about to murder, in order to open a magical portal to save my brother. Katrina was calm and collected on the outside, though I know her emotions were raging on the inside. I couldn’t believe it, but I think I was falling for her. I couldn’t be... I had known her, actually known her, for a total of four days. And in those four days, it's been chaos and total hell. But I couldn’t deny that my feelings were growing.I knew she liked me, but it wasn’t me she liked. It
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 36
Chapter 36I exhaled a sigh of relief, Katrina was with them. I heard Ramses exhale too, at the same time. We took the battle back to the ground, helping with an onslaught of ice shards to help weaken him while the Witches did their work. Within seconds he had rolled over on his side and his wings retreated. He was no longer a threat. The Witches spell repressed his powers and he was just a harmless man now. Kiera and Kember walked over and stood by him, ensuring that the spell worked and he wouldn’t be a threat. I turned to look at Katrina just in time to see her fall. I materialized behind her and caught her before she hit the ground. I didn’t care how it looked. I didn’t even care that Ramses was standing right there when I did it. All I cared about was her. She was bleeding from the side of her face and out of her nose. I placed my hand over her head to heal her so the blood would stop. I saw Ramses take a couple of steps back and survey the scenery. I didn’t really have time t

Chapter 57“Ramses. Hey baby.” Katrina’s silky voice reverberated through my head as my eyes fluttered open slowly. It took me a moment to gather my bearings. Everything was blurry, I felt like I hadn’t opened my eyes in weeks and the light was burning them. “Titan?” I mumbled. “I’m here man!” He replied back in my head. “Oh thank god, I thought you were gone forever.” I murmured. “I told you I would be here!” He replied. I just nodded my head. “Ramses.” Katrina said. I opened my eyes again and tried to focus on her. “Huh? I replied back. She let out a breath I don’t think she was aware she was holding. After a moment things started to clear up and I was able to focus on Katrina’s beautiful face. I smiled at her. “Oh, darlin.” I said, and I sat up and pulled her into my arms. “Ramses, I’m so glad you’re back!” Katrina said, and she held me tightly. I kissed the top of her head and then I looked around. “Darlin, why are we on the floor in the living room?” I asked with a smile. “Re

Chapter 56She leaned down and pressed her lips to mine, but the only thing I could see when my eyes were closed was Katrina. I pulled away from her, and grabbed her hips, lifting her off me as I stood up. “Did I upset you?” She asked softly. “No, darlin, you’re absolutely perfect. I’m just not in the right mindset for this right now. I’m sorry.” I said, and I turned and walked away, leaving her standing there in shock. “You ok man? I can’t believe you turned her down… I mean, I get it, but… DAMN.” Titan howled. “I know, ugh… Dude I can't get Katrina out of my mind. This shit is ridiculous. I know she needs to be with Rowen. I'm no good for her. I don't deserve her, and I never have. But for the life of me I can’t even fuck someone else right now and not feel guilty about it. I just feel guilty. This fucking sucks. I just want to stay here, with you, with all these women and fuck them all. And I can’t even accomplish that.” I said. I know I was complaining, but fuck, this shit was

Chapter 55(Ramses)I put the last file in the corresponding filing cabinet on floor 14. “That took longer than expected, damn.” I said to Titan. “Fuck yes it did. It’s like the higher up we go the more damage there is.” Titan growled back. “We only have 1 more floor left dude. As much as I don’t want to leave you, because you are bad ass as fuck, my friend… I have to get back to Katrina.” I said to my Wolf. “What was she crying about earlier anyways?” I asked Titan. “Oh, you saw that?” Titan said sheepishly. “Well by accident, I came around the corner to tell Katrina something and saw her crying holding onto you. I thought it was better to let her be, so I just turned around and kept working.” I said. “Oh, yea… Well, she was just having a hard time with Rowen leaving soon. You know, the usual.” Titan said. “You’re hiding something, I can tell.” I said. My Wolf rolled his eyes at me. “Well she watched the memory of you and Rowen, when you asked him to promise you that he would take

Chapter 54“This is a good sign! It means he's slowly coming out of his coma. He must be working on the last floor in his mind.” I said out loud, hoping that this distraction would help everyone to forget about why I came back so soon. We could chalk it off as a random occurrence.I let out a sigh of relief. As much as I was going to miss Rowen, I really wanted Ramses back. I was starting to come to terms with Rowen being gone, and I figured now was as good a time as any to talk to him about it all.“Rowen, can we talk for a while?” I asked him. “Of course, doll. Where would you like to go?” He asked, taking my hand in his and kissing the back of it.“We will be back in a little while, please mind link Rowen if Ramses wake’s up… But I am guessing it won't be for a little while longer.” I said to Raziel, more than anyone.He nodded to me and then turned back to Kember, who was sitting on his lap. I turned back to Rowen. “There is a forest that lines the river downtown. Let's go walk the

Chapter 53“I’m happy for you man!” Rowen said. “I’m still trying to fully win her over, she’s a tough cookie. But I’m never going to leave her. I can only hope that she can accept me the way I am… Because you know as well as I do that I will never change. I can’t be committed, I can't just have one woman. I just… you know me. And I hope she can understand how I am. Those other bitches will never shine in comparison to Katrina. She's like a goddess among peons when it comes to any other woman. But I will tell you, I will never stop fighting for her attention, her love, her affection. Never.” Ramses said. Rowen was just smiling, drinking rose gold brandy. “I need something from you though, brother.” Ramses said. “Oh? And what would that be?” Rowen said. Ramses went to his brother and put his hand on his shoulder. “If anything were to happen to me… I need you to promise to look out for Katrina. She deserves only the best, and I know in my absence you are the next best thing for her.” R

Chapter 52I closed the file, found the corresponding date, and placed the file back where it went. If I watch every single memory we would never get this done. “Titan?” I called out for Ramses’ Wolf as he had disappeared somewhere. Instead, I was greeted by a pair of large hands grabbing me and lifting up. “Katrina! Darlin, how are you here!?” Ramses said, as he wrapped me in a bear hug. Titan bounded around the corner just in time to see our lips meet. “Ramses! I’m so happy to see you!” I said, after he let me down and I caught my breath. “I’m sorry I haven’t made it back yet, there’s been so much fuckery here. Titan and I have been cleaning for hours and we still aren’t close to done. I’m afraid it’s going to take longer than I originally thought.” He said. “You've been in a coma for a week.” I said softly. Ramses looked at me with confusion on his face. “What? A week?? How?” He said. “Time, it must be different here. I don’t know.” I replied. “How long do you have here with me,
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 51
Chapter 51The elevator door opened on floor 3 to reveal men and women dressed in peacock feathers, and that was about it. They were wandering the spaces between the other areas and it looked like each area was a different theme. I saw girls dancing choreography. I saw acting and plays, role playing, improvisation. It seemed like every section was something different. Multiple times on this floor I had women run up to me and try to pull me into their areas to help with whatever it was they were doing at the time. I had to politely decline and keep on track. It could be so distracting in here, I didn’t see how Ramses got anything accomplished with all these women trying to stop him all the time. I just ignored everyone and found the elevator but it was already going up, it was on floor 11 when it stopped. “Strange… I thought I was the only one using the elevator. It seemed that each of the men and women stayed on their respective floors. I could be wrong, but I just hadn’t seen anyo
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 50
Chapter 50We stayed in the ocean for a few more hours just enjoying eachothers company before materializing back to my house. We then hopped in the shower and got ready for bed. We were lying down on my bed and I was next to Ramses but tangled in Rowens arms. Our getaway was really great, but now it was back to real life and I was once again thinking of ways to help Ramses. Then I had an idea! What if we tethered myself to Ramses? He doesn’t have any protection in his mind so I could access it easily. I might be able to access the damaged parts and possibly help put them back together? “Rowen! What if we tethered myself to Ramses? I could go into his mind and possibly help find the damaged parts and fix them.” I said, sitting up out of bed and straddling Rowen so he had to listen to me and couldn’t get away. I saw a flash of something in his eyes, but I wasn’t sure just what it was. “Katrina, It could work. Is there a way to get you back after a certain timeframe if it doesn't?” R
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 49
Chapter 49(Katrina)It had been a week since Ramses went into his coma after we severed the tether. I still had hope that he could come out of this. I knew healing would take time, and in his own mind there may have been a lot more damage than we expected. I had no idea what was happening inside Ramses’ mind, but I hoped he was able to fix it. We had never done anything like this before, and so we honestly had no idea what to expect. I was extremely grateful for Rowen. He stayed with me this entire time, never leaving me alone. I knew he didn’t want to stay, he wanted to cut ties with me the night Ramses went into his coma. But once he didn’t wake up, Rowen couldn’t bear to leave me alone. I don’t think I could ever repay him, honestly. The week was spent mostly stressing about Ramses and how to help him heal. His brothers visited every couple of days to check on him, and try and heal him but it didn’t seem to work. Their type of healing worked on the body, not the mind, apparentl
