Chapter 8

The next part was the sacrifice. Normally, one of the Witches grabs the ritual knife and slits the sacrifice’s throat, and then stabs her through the heart. It’s a little brutal to watch, but that's the ritual. This time it was Katrina’s turn.

It was nothing she hadn’t done multiple times over the years, and nothing I hadn’t seen her do. Everything started out normal. Katrina stood and walked to the altar, picked up the ritual knife and headed over towards Ari.

When she got to Ari she looked up and we locked eyes. I could see something sparkling in her gaze, something devious. That was strange... I watched as she snapped, which was unusual, then I noticed two of my men approach the altar with Haven bound and restricted in their arms.

She was screaming through her gag, or at least trying to. They threw her down at Katrinas feet, bowed to Katrina, then turned around and walked away.

What the fuck was she doing? I thought. But I knew better than to interrupt her.

    Chapter 9Katrina was still in my arms when the back door of the room opened and Katrina’s sisters barged through in a mess of fury and confusion. “What the fuck was that?” Kember demanded. “Yea, you know that using the ritual for personal reasons is strictly forbidden!” Kiera shouted at her sister. Katrina buried her face in my chest. I knew she didn’t want to face her sisters. They both just stood there waiting for her to say something while I tried to console her. After a moment, she pulled herself out of my arms and faced them both. “Look, I know what I did was wrong… But it was for a damn good reason.” Katrina stammered. “Oh yea? And what could be a good enough reason for you to risk your magic??” Kember shot back. Katrina looked at me and I nodded to her. She looked back at her sisters and took a breath in. “Haven was a Forsaken. She had been messing with Ramses’ memories, and those of a couple of his brothers. I couldn’t let her get away with whatever she was secretly plannin

    Chapter 10I materialized all three of us to my house. We set Haven in one of the guest rooms and left the dagger in her chest while we decided just how to go about this. When Haven comes back as a Human, she was going to be pissed. She would have no powers. She would start to age and have to learn to live her life as a Human. I didn’t even feel one bit bad for her either, especially after knowing all of the shit she stirred up. A Human life would be fitting for her. I decided we should go talk to my brother Raziel first before we did anything. That way we could see if the Human town along the edge of the Wolf pack bordering his lands would even be a good fit for Haven to begin with. Katrina agreed, so we materialized to my brother's front gate. Katrina gasped as she took in the sight of Raziel’s home. It was similar to mine. So similar, that you could definitely tell we were brothers. “It’s majestic, isn’t it?” I said to Katrina. “You guys are definitely related.” She replied. “Oh

    Chapter 11Raziel moved a piece of hair from my face causing me to inhale again. I was trying so hard not to react to him, but he must have noticed. “Is my proximity affecting you, little Witch?” Raziel asked. “Um, no.” I stammered but his pet name made my heart flutter. He then stepped closer to me, we were only inches apart now. I was bombarded by the smell of his cologne, and it was heavenly to my nose. My hormones were going absolutely wild, and I fought back the urge to reach out and touch him. “How about now?” He purred. A furious blush spread across my cheeks, my thoughts were all over the place. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat, and attempted to take a step back, but it was as if Raziel anticipated my next move, because he reached out and placed his hand on the small of my back, stopping me from moving. I gasped involuntarily at his touch, to which his face remained emotionless but his eyes showed approval. He liked the game. This was something he enjoyed and a

    Chapter 12“Once this mark is permanent, I'm going to take you far, far, away from here… And I’m going to leave you there. And you are going to spend the rest of your life trying to find your way back to me. And if you make it back, I’ll just take you somewhere else… I will be yours, but you will never have me again after tonight.” Raziel purred. Haven seemed like she was trying to fight the marks pull but couldn’t. She acted like his words didn;t even phase her, and he pulled her into his arms. She tried to kiss him but he turned his head from her so she kissed his cheek instead. My jaw dropped, what a perfectly terrible punishment… She would, for the rest of her life, be chasing someone who she would never have. Raziel looked up and we locked eyes. I smiled at him and nodded my head. He remained emotionless, but I could tell by his eyes that he was happy to see my approval. “If you’ll excuse us.” Raziel said. He grabbed Haven's arm, and not gently either, pulling her upstairs behi

    Chapter 13I handed Katrina the ritual knife. “Thank you.” She said. But something about the sadness in her voice had me worried about her. “Are you sure you will be ok?” I asked her. She looked at me with a confused look on her face. “Why wouldn’t I be?” She mumbled under her breath. “You realize that I can pickup on the slightest behavior change right? You know, Reaver powers and all... “ I said with a grin. She smiled at my dorky comment. It wasn’t Reaver powers though, it was literally her voice that gave it away. We may have solved one situation, but I knew her situation with The Ancestors was really getting to her. I had hoped she wasn’t regretting her decision to save me. A Witch's power mainly stems from the Ancestors… Without access to their magic you were just a person with an herb and crystal collection. Katrina was born a Witch, she’s always had access to them... Until now.“I will be fine, I just need some time to figure out my life.” She said, and she kissed me gently o

    Chapter 14I held my arm out for Kember and she walked into my embrace. Now I was holding them both. I mean, I knew I had an effect on Katrina’s sisters, but I was not aware of the extent of it. Neither of them could bear to see me basically sacrifice myself. I had to make it work though, there was no other way. I had to try. Even if it meant I never came back… I couldn’t let Katrina continue to suffer. Not like this.I released the girls and stepped back a few steps, I had made up my mind. “Ladies, listen. I need you to do this ritual for me. I promise you both I will return. Katrina needs my help. She gave up everything to save me, and I will be returning the favor. Please… Help me to help her.” I begged. Kiera shook her head no. “I refuse to help you die.” She cried, and then she turned and stomped off towards the back of the club, wiping angry tears as she went. “Well, that went well.” I said to Titan. “Fucking women.” He retorted. I had to think fast, I needed this to work. “K

How did you?...” She stammered. “Listen, little Vamp... There is a lot you don’t know about Reavers, and even more you don’t know about me. But if you have time later, I could show you.” I purred with a wink. I could see the desire flash through her eyes, but she stayed strong. “I think your brother is waiting upstairs.” She said playfully, and turned to walk away. “Hm, it’s a start. I’ll get her eventually.” I said to Titan. “Fuck yes you will, and Vampires huh? Mmmmm.” Titan howled. I watched her wander back into the kitchen which connected to Rowens garage and then I started heading up the stairs to his room. Once I got about halfway to his room I noticed the walls had blood smeared all over them on both sides. It was across the doors, and on the floor throughout the hallway. “Ok…” I sai

I then snapped and Cherry was instantly tied back up against the bedpost. Exactly where she was when I originally came into the room. I walked over to her and pressed my lips to hers softly. “Good fucking girl.” I whispered against her lips, and then we locked eyes. I could see a mixture of emotions flowing through them, and I knew she was hooked. I flashed her a million dollar smile, then grabbed the whip from the bed and tossed it to my brother who was drinking rose gold colored brandy from a glass. He caught the whip from the air and snapped it to his side while downing the rest of his brandy. “Tag, you’re it.” I said with a grin. Rowen let out a chuckle. “I think she likes you, brother.” He said with a shit eating grin on his face. I turned back around and saw that Cherry was watching my every move. “They always do, broth

    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

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,

    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

    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
