The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 41
Chapter 41Rowen didn’t say anything, but I could tell by the look in his eyes, he wasn’t here to talk. He closed the gap between us and smashed his lips against mine, taking my face in his palm while shutting the door behind us. He pushed me up against it and pinned both of my hands above my head with one hand. He caught my gaze before he started slowly tracing down my neck and chest with his free hand. His touch triggered goosebumps to sprout along my entire spine. He then followed his trace marks with an assault of kisses, causing me to gasp out loud. “Rowen, what ar…” I tried to ask him but he stopped me with another deep kiss. He pulled away for a moment and we locked eyes. I could see the passion burning in his rose gold eyes. It wasn’t just lust, it was more. It was deep… Raw, and real. It was love... Neither of us spoke, we just sat in that moment trying to wrap our heads around what we were doing. He softly kissed me. “Is this ok?” Rowen whispered against my lips. “I don’t
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 42
Chapter 42(Ramses) I had already finished getting dressed and Katrina headed into the shower leaving Rowen and myself in her bedroom. We walked out to her kitchen and we both snapped to produce brandy at the same time, laughing when it appeared and turned our respective colors, instantly, and at the same time. Of all my brothers, I was the closest with Rowen. We had been through a lot together, and I always had his back, same as he has mine. “I can see why you love her so much.” Rowen said to me. I raised an eyebrow to him. “I do love her. I have for a long, long time. But you know me, brother… Love is such a permanent word.” I said, then took a sip of my brandy. “I know, but she knows you love her. Even if you don’t say it.” He replied. “I do try and show her that, everyday.” I said. “You realize this was a first and last for her with both of us, right?” Rowen said. I nodded to him. I did know. I knew my brother well. And I could tell by his actions before we even started,
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 43
Chapter 43We went to the backyard through the tree line to Katrina's altar. From what Kiera was saying, the ritual, in order to be strong enough to stop a Pyromancer from infiltrating my mind, would have to be done by all three of the Witches at the same time.They would need to channel each other's powers since they couldn’t risk using The Ancestors. They didn’t call my other brothers, I'm sure they weren’t needed here, and they could fill them in when they arrived later tonight anyways.“Ramses, come lie down right here please.” Katrina said, and pointed to the ground between the three of them. “Calm down darlin, if you and your sisters wanted to tag team me, all you had to do was ask.” I said with a grin.I was just trying to make a joke to lighten the mood. She rolled her eyes. Kiera turned the brightest shade of red I had ever seen and looked at the ground. And Kember looked as if she were entertaining the idea.I made a mental note to entertain that idea again, at a later time.
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 44
Chapter 44Before we knew it Raziel and Raphael had arrived at Katrina’s. Katrina stood to welcome them and she had them sit down. Raphael sat next to Kiera on the other couch. Raziel grabbed Kember from her seat and sat there, pulling her into his lap with him.That still struck me as odd. Raziel mostly hated everyone. I say mostly, because I knew he didn’t really hate everyone, he was just so aloof that it seemed like it.He didn’t say anything to Kember, but she was running her hand up and down his arm softly and he was allowing it… That told me there was something there. I made it a point to ask him sometime.“So the first thing I need to explain is the tether. When two people are tethered together they have access into each other's minds. including all of the knowledge and secrets that reside there. The reason a Witch has to be the one to tether is because we know how to protect our minds from the other party when tethered. But we can’t withstand severing the link from our side. S
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 45
Chapter 45I put my head back on Rowen’s chest and listened to his breathing. “This is a hard conversation, and I never wanted to have it to begin with. I love you, Katrina.” Rowen said, while pulling away from me so he could look me in the eyes. “I love you, and I want nothing more than to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you. But I know it’s not possible. I could never leave my home… My covens, my responsibilities. Just like you could never leave yours... We even live in different countries. I would love nothing more than to see your beautiful face with my mark on it… Permanently on it… For everyone in this world to know you are mine. But that’s just not possible. You do not belong to me, and that is not my choice to make. It will be easier in the long run if I leave and never look back... It will hurt now… But in the long run it will be better for both of us, and you know it too. You’re right though, that is exactly what I planned to do. Tonight, actually. But I w
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 46
Chapter 46I looked at my Wolf in awe. He was fucking beautiful. I had never seen him in his Wolf form. Reavers had a Wolf spirit in our minds but could never turn into a Wolf. It was just something we could never do. I never thought about how my Wolf would look if I could turn. This was not what I was expecting, but it made sense. “Holy shit, you are fucking beautiful dude!” I hollered. Titan bent down on his front paws, and turned each shoulder back and forth posing. “Why thank you sirr.” He howled back. This was fucking insane. “Where are we? How are you here??” Hell, how am I here?” I asked. He jumped ahead of me and turned in a circle playfully. His bronze fur was shining in the multitude of twinkling lights. “Dude, this is your mind! We are literally inside your head. This is where I live!” He said. “My mind? How did I get in here?” I said. “I have no idea. One minute you’re there, everything is fine and you’re about to tether to Sage and banish his ass. And then radio silence
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 47
Chapter 47I followed my Wolf past all the other cubes on this floor, passing more and more of those doors, to the elevator where he pressed floor 3. He seemed exceptionally giddy about floor three. When the elevator door opened I could see why. Floor three was like an interactive world. We stepped off the elevator and were instantly greeted by a plethora of model status men and women wearing peacock feathers and that was about it. They cooed and awed over Titan, petting his fur and loving on him. He was just reeling in the attention. No wonder he loved this floor. They insisted on showing us around, so we let them. Each area we went to was a different group of themed men and women. All scantily clad just like the rest, but ready to entertain us. Some of them were dancing like choreography, some were acting as if they were in a play. Some were roleplaying, some were wanting us to join in and improvise. All the women were exquisite and oh so tempting. Even the two men on this floor w
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 48
Chapter 48She came back shortly with three files in her hands. She handed them to me and I winked at her. “Thank you, darlin.” I said, as I flipped open the first one. Haven was bound by The Shadows and screaming about her memories. I saw my brothers with me as well, and it looked like we were in a battle at the Necromancers castle. I remembered this battle well. Haven had kept memories from us, memories of how we became rulers of the underworld. How we chose what our lives would be like. We chose our colors, our attitudes, our builds, basically. She made it all happen. Then she made us forget it all. Raziel took her memories of our creation and gave them back to us. It was amazing to remember everything she made us forget. Raziel and his Shadows really did some good work together that night. I mean, the Necromancers basically became extinct over it… But that’s what you get when you mess with Reavers. I felt grateful for my brother at that moment. I was happy to know how I came to

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
The Reaver Chronicles: Ramses (Book 3) Chapter 54
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

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
