Chapter 22

(Raphael)

I materialized outside of the front door of the diner. Looking inside, I could see Roxy at her usual table. She had my book in her hand and some papers spread out across the table. She was drinking a milkshake of some kind, and it looked like she was very engrossed in her work.

I stood there for a min and just admired her. She kept pushing her crazy curls out of her face and I could tell she was getting frustrated when they wouldn’t stay back where she pushed them. I laughed as she just gave up, letting them fall wherever they decided to.

Axel was pushing me to go inside. I opened the door and stepped inside, locking eyes with Roxy when she looked up to see who came in. A huge grin formed on her face when she realized it was me.

I walked over to the table. “Roxy.” I said with a bow, and I sat down. “Hi Raphael!” She chirped. “What are you doing?” I asked her, eyeballing all the papers. It seemed as if she were building some sort of supernatural compilation.

    Chapter 23A lock of hair, that’s all we needed… This shouldn’t be too hard. I materialized just outside the entrance to the tunnel where Marina was being kept. I was pleased to see that it was covered in ice shards, meaning she was, in fact, still down there. After our little escapade a few days ago, I really doubted she would be willing to talk to me again. So, I decided to pull a page from my brother Raziel's book and go in guns blazing. Or so they say. I stepped inside and started walking towards the back of the tunnel. I could feel the familiar fuzzy feeling in my mind telling me that I was getting closer. “Who’s there?” Marina’s icy voice infiltrated my mind like an icy blast down my spine. I didn’t answer but I kept heading towards her. “I haven’t seen anyone in days, what is going on?” She basically screeched into my mind. I stepped around the corner to face Marina. She was standing in front of her throne as beautiful as ever, with her varying shades of blue hair off to one

    Chapter 24It was 8:45pm and Midnight was approaching in a few hours. I had spent the day checking in on my warriors and the rotation. I also had a coven meeting to attend, which went as flawless as usual. I didn’t tell anyone anything about what was going on, I figured it was best to take care of it myself and not worry everyone over what was sure to be nothing. I spoke to my brother Ramses, and everything was going well. Apparently, he had already sealed half of his bargain last night… whatever that meant. But with him, I’m sure it had to do with sex of some sort. He was very fond of it, that one. He reassured me that tonight was indeed still on.I had Marina's hair and I was ready to be done with this bullshit. With her out of the picture I could get back home and away from this whole mess. The alliance would be in place, and I could go back to having peace in my otherwise crazy life. Midnight couldn’t come soon enough. Come 9:00pm I was to meet Roxy at the diner as promised. Our

    Chapter 25“Do you have the hair?” Katrina asked Raphael. “I do.” He said as he handed it to her. Her fingers grazed his as she took the hair, and she took a sharp breath in. He didn’t even notice, but I did. I wondered who his chosen mate was anyways, him and Katrina would make a great pair! “Knowing your brother, it’s probably some dirty Necromancer.” Titan howled. I laughed internally at his retort. He wasn’t wrong though. I could see it, him and a Necromancer. Hell, that reminded me, I wanted to see some of these Necromancers too. Maybe I could arrange to stick around a bit once this was all said and done. I’ll bet those Necromancers would just love to have two Reavers invading their castle. "You find the best looking one and we'll show her just how invading we can be." Titan howled. I agreed with my Wolf, I was more than ready! “What else do we need to do?” Raphael asked Katrina. “Nothing, just stay back.” She said. Her and her sisters took the hair in one hand with each of the

    Chapter 26“Marina is dead.” I said to him. I could see a sparkle in his eye. “Dead for good, dead?” He questioned. “Yes.” I shot back. “It’s about fucking time.” He snarled. Then he locked eyes with Haven, who smiled at him. He walked over to her, taking her into his arms. “Leave us.” He commanded, and he picked Haven up wandering towards the bed. “Man, just when it was getting good too.” Ramses cackled. We were just about to materialize away when the entire room went dark. “What the hell?” Ramses stammered. We turned around to see Haven commanding the elements. She had Blaze levitating in the air in a whirlwind. “You will not touch me again, Necromancer.” She spewed. The venom was thick in her angelic voice. “Haven… What are you doing, princess?” I asked her cautiously. She locked eyes with me, and her face softened. “Raphael, come with me. Let’s go. Together. We can escape this place and go anywhere else.” She pleaded. I could see the longing in her eyes. Besides the marks pull,

    Chapter 27(Ramses)I grabbed Kiera and pulled her into my arms once we got back to TwentyOne. “Now don’t for a second think I forgot about you darlin.” I purred to her and reveled in her beautiful smile. “I always save the best for last.” I whispered in her ear, causing her to squirm in my arms. We locked eyes and I could tell she was getting lost in my bronze beauties. “Let me know when you’re ready.” She said, and I shot her a quick wink as I watched her and her sister Kember head into the pub. “We are always ready!” Titan howled, causing me to grin. Katrina was the last to head inside, stopping before she did to pull me close. “Don’t forget about your favorite sister.” She said smugly. My favorite thing about her was her uncanny ability to share me. She knew I would never actually settle down, and she accepted it. As much as I loved her… And I truly honestly did love her… I just loved my freedom and fucking everyone else too. That was just my nature. A wandering eye they call it

    Chapter 28“You will not touch me again, Necromancer.” She spewed. The venom was thick in her voice, but I couldn’t deny I loved the sound of it. I wonder if this is due to the mark? “Haven… What are you doing, princess?” I heard Raphael ask her cautiously. “Princess, huh? Oh, there’s definitely a story behind this.” I scoffed to Titan. I saw her face soften as she looked at my brother. I could see a mixture of emotions swirling through her beautiful green eyes as she looked at him. “Raphael, come with me. Let’s go. Together. We can escape this place and go anywhere else.” She pleaded. I could see the longing in her eyes. She loved my brother deeply, that much was clear. “Haven, you know my heart belongs to another.” Raphael said back softly. It was in that moment that I could see her entire world shatter. It was as if he took a blade and drove it straight into her heart. The worst part, I didn’t even know if he realized it. “Let Blaze go, you don't have to do this.” He spoke calmly

    Chapter 29(Roxy)I woke up feeling dizzy and lightheaded. What time is it? Wait, where am I? I thought, as I took in the scenery. I was lying on the floor behind a bar. I could see a wall full of liquor and glasses in front of me, but that's all I could see. Well, that, and the ceiling, which was very high up there, and very dreary looking. I tried not to make any noise just in case I would alert whoever brought me here. I realized I wasn't bound in any way which I thought was strange. Was I kidnapped or not? I sat up slowly trying to scan through my memories for the last thing I remembered before now. I was home getting my stuff ready to go to the diner to meet Raphael. Raphael! Oh shit. He must think I'm totally a flake! I had no idea why he kept coming around, but after he saved me, I just felt like I owed him... Like I wanted to somehow repay him. But I'm just a Human, I couldn't ever repay him, not really. If I'm being honest he scares the hell out of me… But still, I was glad

    Chapter 30(Raphael)“Yes, I'm here. Are you ok? What is going on?” Roxy stammered, and before I could say anything Haven grabbed her and yanked her away from me. It was like I got a second wind, all the pain and emptiness from my previous memory recollection was now at the back of my mind. Only Roxy remained at the front. I was up on my feet within a second. “Cute… I thought you were still asleep.” Haven snarled. “Haven, don’t you fucking touch her.” I spewed. I was exploding with anger at this point. It’s one thing to mess with me, but you don't touch the people I care about. Axel was roaring in my mind at Haven with her filthy hands on our chosen mate. It was everything I could muster to not let him go wild. Haven was unstable right now, at best, and her jealousy was rolling off her in waves. Still, this was a bad situation, and I found myself wondering just how we were going to get out of it. “This is who you choose? SERIOUSLY? Isn’t she a little young for your taste? I know I i

    Here's a sneak peak of the next book in the series, The Reaver Chronicels: Ramses. This book takes place directly after the events of Raphael, and in the same time frame. Enjoy!Chapter 1 I woke up with my head in a daze. “I had the weirdest fuckin dream…” I said to Titan as I rolled over to face a woman in my bed that I don’t remember bringing home. “What the fuck…” I said out loud and then I gripped my temples as pain shot through them momentarily. Suddenly memories of the night before came rushing into my mind. This woman was Haven, my girlfriend. “Jesus, don’t tell her I forgot who she was, she will rip my balls off.” I said to Titan with a silent laugh. I didn’t want to wake her. It must have been one hell of a night if I forgot my own girlfriend, sheesh… I snuck out of bed and headed to the shower. After the night we had, I definitely needed a damn shower. I’ll tell you what, she is fucking good in bed. Thoughts of our encounter last night made my dick hard, so I turned on t

    Chapter 57We didn’t pull away until we were both breathless. I took a moment to just admire my prize. How did I get so lucky? I was swimming with emotion and decided this was the best time to bring up my second question. “Ok, one last question.” I said to her, but she cut me off. “I actually have a question for you.” She said. “Oh?” I replied curiously. “When are you going to mark me?” She asked. I was completely blown away, that was the next question I was going to ask her. I knew she knew about the mark. She had done a lot of research for her compilation. She had picked my brain a few times as well and we had spoken about it. To me, the mark was nothing. I played around with it, threw it around carelessly… Marked whatever plaything I wanted, never making it permanent just for fun. But this was different… She was different.“Well, I did want to talk to you about the mark, darling. Humans get married when they choose a mate, or whatever you would call it. Reavers do not. Instead, we

    Chapter 56I saw Haven’s face harden as I mentioned Roxy, but I didn’t think anything of it. “Bye Haven.” I said, and I waved then materialized back to Roxy who was with Jerome. Funny, I don’t remember bringing her here, I thought. Maybe I was doing it just in case? But why would I worry about visiting my brother with her there? I shook my confusion away when I saw Roxy standing there like she was ready to go.“Thank you.” I said to the warriors. “I take it the threat has been neutralized?” Jerome said. “What threat?” I asked him. The confusion littered his face causing me to raise one eyebrow. He looked from me to Roxy and then nodded and sat back down. “That was strange.” I said to Axel. “Yea I wonder what his deal is?” Axel said back. I shrugged my shoulders and grabbed Roxy. “Let’s go home, darling.” I said to her, and we materialized back at home. After we ate, showered and got ready for bed I was content in life. I had Roxy in my arms, reveling in the joy just holding her gave

    Chapter 55Within seconds The Shadows surrounded her, and I watched in horror as they sent slice after slice over her entire body, sucking her dry of every ounce of blood she had… I felt an extreme pang of guilt as her screams filled the cell. I had never seen The Shadows take a life and this was not what I was expecting at all… This was brutal and horrific… I knew she wanted this, and this was her way of thanking me… But I didn’t feel like I had done anything to deserve thanking. She said she owed me, but how? For the kindness I showed her? Fornot torturing and killing her? Giving her very life was hardly repayment for something so miniscule… I would forever feel guilt over her sacrifice. Once The Shadows had finished with her, they laid her lifeless body on the ground in front of me and proceeded to surround Roxy. They covered her entire body, writhing and seething. She suddenly was lifted into the air and engulfed in a bright white light. It was so bright I couldn’t look directly

    Chapter 54I wasn’t sure what had her all worked up, but I had a feeling I was about to find out. “Why, Raphael? Why her?” Haven spat while pointing at Roxy. “Oh my god… Haven, we are not doing this again.” I spat back. This entire mess literally stemmed from her jealousy?? Come on! Get the fuck over it. My annoyed thoughts rang through my mind. “You just don’t understand apparently. And maybe you never will…” Haven trailed off while looking like she was lost in thought.I rolled my eyes, this is so fucking stupid. “Haven’t you ever felt that pull to someone? The pull that is so strong that no matter how much you fight it, you just can’t resist it? That pull that makes you weak in the knees when you see that person or hear their name? The pull that keeps you up at night dreaming of that person, and has you wishing more than anything in this world that you could just be with them? Have you ever truly felt that way, Raphael?” Haven asked.My mind went straight to Roxy. From that first n

    Chapter 53Roxy would be safe here. I could trust Jerome. I locked eyes with her, and it was like she knew I was thinking of leaving her here and she didn’t want to stay. She kept quiet and I couldn’t tell if that was due to the magic or her own thought process. I took her beautiful face in my hand. “If I take you with me, you are going to see things that I'm sure you do not want to see. I’m sorry but I can’t leave them alive. Not even one of them. You understand this right?” I said to her softly. I could see the internal battle raging through her brown eyes. It was like she knew I was right, but her instincts said I was wrong. She was in the middle of a battle that she wasn’t going to win. Human life and rules were so much different than the life and rules of the underworld. I wish I had more time to explain this to her, I just hoped she would understand. “Ok, I understand.” She said, and she gripped my hand harder. Good girl. I thought. We then materialized to Atreyu who was with

    Chapter 52I sat there wallowing in my own misery for what seemed like hours before I noticed that the cut on her arm had healed up and was no longer there. I turned on my Vampire hearing but couldn’t detect a heartbeat. She was healing though, so that was a good sign. I felt relief wash over me when I realized she would in fact revive. It took so much longer than I had previously seen though, and it made me wonder if the further away from the Land of The Dead the longer the revival took? I probably should have taken her home first, but I didn’t want to startle her. I wanted her to wake up in the same place she died in. I had questions, and I needed answers. An hour later, which seemed like eternity, I heard a faint heartbeat, and I was able to breathe again. She was coming back. Slowly… But she was. “That’s it Roxy, come back to me, darling.” I said to her, knowing she couldn’t hear me anyways. It took about another hour before she regained the color in her face and her eyes flutte

    Chapter 51The look of shock on her face amused me. Then I materialized outside of her cell. “I will be back… As you know, I still need you. And… Let's just say, you better hope your intel pans out, little Necromancer.” I purred. Then I materialized to Jerome’s office. I instantly mind linked my men to let them know of my findings and to assemble troops to head that way. We definitely had ways to disrupt magic, and we were going to try them all. I then told Jerome and his men what I learned, and he mind linked his men as well. We were getting an army together to storm the west. “I want every last one of those filthy Necromancers dead. No questions asked.” I snarled. “Yes sir, and what of the prisoner?” Jerome asked. “Leave her, I still need her.” I replied. Then I turned and headed out the door. I decided not to go straight home, it was only midafternoon, and I needed to check on the security around my covens. Something told me that I wasn’t the only one the Necromancers were fuck

    Chapter 50(Raphael)Roxy seemed strange this morning, different than usual and a lot quieter. I chalked it off to our encounter last night. That was the first time we had done anything sexual really, and I wondered if maybe it had been a little too much for her... I mean, she definitely didn’t complain. But why would she? She said it was incredible. I did bite her though, without warning… Yea, that might have been a little much for a Human to comprehend. But I couldn’t help it… It just kind of happened. I wanted to ask her about it but decided against it. I knew she wasn’t able to talk freely from being Risen, and that could have been bothering her too. I was frustrated because I hadn’t gotten anywhere with the fucking Necromancer during our last interaction and I really had hoped that she would have given me something, anything. I needed to find the remaining Necromancers so I could find a way to cure Roxy. They had to know a way to reverse this shit. Turn Roxy back to Human. Wit
