The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 23
Chapter 23 (Rayne) Roman had dropped me off a little early, I blamed it on the night's events. But really, I was eager to get home and fuck around with these powers, so I didn’t mind. I had always wondered why my mother and I had platinum, a precious metal, colored eyes when no one else I had ever met did. I had always heard the stories of Reavers and their precious metal obsessions. How their eyes and voices matched, but never put it together until now. I can't be just a Wolf, I had to be something more. I could do the things Raziel did. Well, some of them, sort of. I wasn't sure, but I was determined to find out and try again. I got home and changed out of my dress into a gold sports bra and sweatpants. I was becoming fond of the color. I may be a little biased though because gold reminded me of him. I sat on my bed and closed my eyes. I was determined to make a flaming green fireball. I concentrated as hard as I could and tried to force it to form, but nothing happened. I tried
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 24
Chapter 24 (Raphael) I was dreamwalking my own dream to get some peace and quiet and let myself read a bit. I never really got much time to myself, running a multitude of Covens and all. So my escape was in my dreams. I had just downed a second glass of silver brandy when I felt a presence. "Strange, now who would be daring enough to enter my dreams?" I questioned Axel, my Wolf. "It feels like a woman, sir." He said. "Curious... shall we go see, or let her find us?" I inquired. "Looks like she's already on her way up, sir." Axel said. I set my glass down and headed towards my bedroom door just as I heard a stunning voice say my name. "Raphael." I was surprised. I opened the door and locked eyes with the most beautiful pair of platinum silver eyes I had ever seen. This woman standing before me was stunning, to say the least. I took a minute to take in her beauty. Axel was howling his approval in my mind. She was wearing a simple gold sports bra and sweats, but she was exquisite, ev
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 25
Chapter 25 (Raziel) I had been tracking Rayne for weeks now, in case she was using her powers unknowingly again. She could do some real damage to herself, and possibly others, being untrained. I made it my personal business to keep track of her unsolicited magic usage. Hell, her whole life was my personal business anyway, so why not? She had access to a plethora of powers that she really had no idea about, and any of those powers could start to form at any time. She already was using fireballs and dreamwalking. What would be next? I was determined to keep her safe no matter the cost. Everything had been calm the last little while. I assumed that Alpha Drake being out of town multiple times in the past few weeks, definitely helped. Unfortunately, he had returned a day or so ago, and I had been waiting for her to just snap again. He undoubtedly would not leave her alone, I was sure of it. He made it very clear to me by his actions that he wanted to make her Luna of The Obsidian pack
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 26
Chapter 26 (Rayne) "Raphael?" I said softly, as I opened the silver door to his bedroom. He was inside at his bar getting a drink. "Well, hello beautiful." He said, as he turned around with two drinks in his hand. His was silver, of course. But to my surprise mine was gold, which made me think of Raziel. He started walking towards me as I walked further into the room. We met halfway at the globe and chairs where we had started to read last time. He handed me my drink and motioned for me to sit down. I couldn't help but admire Raphael’s Sheer beauty. He was wearing a solid silver suit jacket and suit pants, which I thought would definitely be too much silver, but it really wasn't. He had a black suit vest underneath, a black tie and black shoes. The silver suit jacket had black accents, but the pants didn't, and that made up just enough offset to work. His hair was neat but a little tousled in the front, and his shining silver eyes seemed to sparkle with his outfit. I could feel hi
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 27
Chapter 27 "Dreamwalking?!" Wynter screeched after we woke up and she re-lived my dream. "So it wasn't a dream after all. Shit..." I huffed. Raphael clearly said dreamwalking was real, it was something a Reaver could do easily and enjoyed it. It would make sense that I could do it as well. I knew now that I was much more than just a Wolf. That would mean I dreamwalked to Raziel’s dream too. And when I summoned him to my dream with Alpha Drake, that was also real. Well, he was, at least. I wondered how often I had unknowingly done this in the past. I started to panic thinking I had unknowingly trespassed in other people’s dreams. Then I noticed I still had that tingly feeling on my face where Raphael had cupped it last night. I got up and went into my bathroom to check the mirror. That's when I saw it. The most beautiful silver, glittery, infinity symbol standing diagonally, covered in vines and filigree, sparkling right on the side of my face. The filigree and vines were going down
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 28
Chapter 28 (Raziel) I materialized in front of the silver gate to Raphael’s home. I narrowed my eyes at the infinity symbol standing vertically on the gate, trying to hold back the rage that was bubbling at the sheer sight of it. "Fuck it, bust that motherfucker down." Nero snarled. I took a single fireball and blew the gate apart. I stalked onto Raphael’s property up to his front door. "Raphael!" I roared, as I threw another fireball into his front door and blew it off the hinges. "I'm going to fucking kill you." I yelled, as I threw fireball after fireball destroying everything around me. I stalked up the stairs using magic to unshelve every book in his library. It sent silver glitter flying around the whole room. This reminded me of Rayne, and that made me even more enraged. I finally got to the silver double doors. I knew they were just like my own, which meant they were spelled, and they could not be penetrated. That didn't stop me from trying though. I threw a double fireball
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 29
Chapter 29 (Rayne) I was still in a hot mess after what had just happened with Raziel. The mark on my face was burning its disapproval of my shenanigans. I still had to get to training this morning and was now about to be late. “Shit!” I cried out loud. I threw on a gold sports bra, black leggings and my new gold tennis shoes I recently bought to match. I quickly threw my hair up in a high pony and ran out the door. I contemplated not even showing up... I knew Alpha Drake was back from his travels this week and I was really enjoying my time not having to deal with him. But I knew he would kill me if I ditched out, so I went anyway. I got to training at the same time as Roman. “Hey.” I said, as I was trying to catch my breath from running. I looked up at Roman since he hadn't said anything, and I had completely forgotten about the mark. He was eyeballing it in awe. “What is that? It’s beautiful, oh my god.” He stammered. His words made the mark burn. It seemed that anyone else arou
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 30
Chapter 30 "I'm not where I belong, I don't belong with you!" I screamed, my mark burning under my defiant words. Both of my hands were now engulfed in green flames. Raphael looked back at me as he got up off the floor. Surprise, and then hurt filled his eyes which sent a pang of guilt through me. I didn’t mean to hurt his feelings, but this guilt was, no doubt, influenced by the mark. Honestly, I was surprised. I couldn't believe I was able to resist the marks pull. It was as if my memories were jumbled in my head. Everything else was second to the mark and my need to be close to Raphael, even when I knew I shouldn’t be. “How... how did you do that, Rayne? How are you resisting the marks pull? That is impossible!” He stammered as he started walking back my way. “No Raphael, stay away from me.” I said with conviction. Little did he know I was absolutely shaking inside. I knew that if he came even 1 step closer that I wouldn’t be able to resist him. Everything in my body was saying

The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 61
Chapter 61 My entire pack was here! Roman came in behind me yelling surprise and blowing into one of those little horn things that make an obnoxious noise. You know, the ones with the streamers on the end. I couldn’t help but laugh at his childlike nature. I could smell the burgers and plethora of other grilled foods and looking towards the smell there were Wolves cooking. Even though I swear we had just eaten, I definitely wanted to eat whatever it was they were making. There was an open bar on the other side of the arena that I spotted, which I was definitely going to partake in, and the whole arena was decorated in gold decorations. I noticed that everyone there was wearing something gold. Some, more than others, but most were wearing an accent of gold, all matching my dress perfectly. Raziel really went out of his way to plan this, and I smiled at the thought. I could hear electronic dance music, my favorite genre, playing in the background and Wolves were out dancing on the da
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 60
Chapter 60 When I woke up in the morning Raziel was not in bed, he wasn’t even home. That was strange... I’m turning 21 today, and for him to not be here when I woke up? He must be busy with whatever his surprise is. I jumped in the shower, and when I got out, I noticed an outfit picked out for me sitting on the chaise lounge at the foot of the bed. It was an extremely pretty gold dress, with a slit on one side up to my upper thigh. The top was backless with a higher neckline, and a strap that just went around my neck. It was glittery and gorgeous. I put my hair in beachy waves, as I knew Raziel liked it that way. It must be a brother thing. I thought, then laughed for thinking that and Wynter laughed too. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RAYNE!” She shouted. “Thank you!” I said. “I’m sorry about the mate bond... I know today would be a whole different type of day if things were a little different.” I said to her, surprised that I didn't feel the dull ache of the void when I talked about it. “I kn
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 59
Chapter 59 I was exhausted. Dying, and then being reincarnated by The Shadows, really took its toll. I can tell you though, my mind was racing. I had Wynter back! Although I was still upset at Raphael, the hatred I was feeling before was gone. I couldn’t help but think The Darkness made it worse. Like it made everything seem like a bigger deal. Just the simple presence of The Darkness made the feelings of anger, grief, despair, and fury all worse, in order to get me to act on them... it worked, too. It was like they made my pain worse, so when I finally got relief, it almost felt like I would never get anything like that anywhere else again. Almost as if it forced me to use it as comfort, and tricked me into thinking that was the only way. I was lost in thought when Raziel took me into his arms. I felt a pulse of lightning run through my body. How did that happen? I no longer bore his beautiful crescent moon mark. Raphael had shattered it from my face using The Darkness. Raziel fel
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 58
Chapter 58 (Rayne) I felt like I was floating. Strange... I thought. I swear I was just being hurtled through the ground, but this was a bit different. It was dark, pitch black. I was basically wandering around in the nothing. I could suddenly feel the icy chill to the bone of The Shadows, but I couldn't see or hear them. Was I dead? A pang of guilt flooded through me as I thought about Raziel, and all the pain I must have caused him. Even more so now, if I was dead. I couldn’t control The Darkness, but it was my own fault I let it in to begin with. I replayed the past few months in my mind and sighed out loud. I had been a complete and utter failure in so many ways. Allowing myself to be controlled by The Darkness, and even inviting it in... why the fuck would I do that? I felt so stupid for being so damn weak. I shivered and tried to rub my arms to keep them from getting any colder. It felt like The Shadows were surrounding me, but they were nowhere to be found. “Hello?” I said,
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 57
Chapter 57 I watched in horror because I knew there was nothing I could do. Especially with The Darkness taking hold... they would literally be unstoppable together. Then, to my surprise, Rayne summoned her staff and slammed it into the ground, hard. It knocked me straight off my feet with a sound that was so loud it almost hurt my ears. It also sent Raphael flying across the arena away from her. Relief swept through me. “Good girl.” I said out loud, more to myself than anyone. Raphael came back and it looked like they were talking now. But then he turned our way, and I knew he was getting tired of the games. We locked eyes just as he sent two giant black fireballs hurtling our way. Alpha Drake dove out of the way and I materialized to the side, but Roman didn’t move. He was in shock, and there was no way I was getting to him in time. That’s when I saw Rayne materialize herself directly in front of him, taking the full brunt of both fireballs straight to her chest. My heart sank int
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 56
Chapter 56 He didn’t even really have his bearings back before I threw both fans at him, hoping to connect with flesh once again. He materialized out of the way, but only a second too late as one of my fans sliced into his calf muscle. I smirked, and watched my fans act like boomerangs and fling right back into my hands. The Darkness healed him once more. Suddenly, to my surprise Raphael made a closed fist and flung my fans straight out of my hands and to him. He then hit them with a black fireball in midair, shattering them where he stood. This action sent blades and pieces of gold flying through the air. Now he was upping his game. It’s about goddamn time, I thought, as I slammed my hand downwards and produced a black bull whip that was covered in black flames. I flung the whip at Raphael, wrapping the end around his throat and yanking him down into the ground with one solid movement. I freed my whip from his neck with a hard jerk and went to hit him with another round, but he ro
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 55
Chapter 55 As much as I didn’t want to see him, Raphael was honestly looking like a gorgeous dark God. I couldn't deny that I was attracted to him. It was impossible not to be. He had on a solid black suit with a silver suit vest and silver shoes. His dark hair was perfectly positioned on his head in a neat short cut. He never had a hair out of place. He had stubble on his chin, which made him look a little gruff. His silver eyes were solid black, as black as night. He was absolutely breathtaking in this form... but the second I saw him the rage just hit me. I also noticed a strange pull towards him, something that wasn’t there before. This was more of a sexual attraction, that was pissing me off and making my mark burn out of control. I could see that he was engulfed in The Darkness. It was writhing under his feet and flowing around him in waves, just like it had been when I let it in. But this time, it seemed as if my Darkness wanted to get to his Darkness. The pull was so strong
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 54
Chapter 54 Alpha Drake was in his office talking to Roman. He looked up and I could see a brief flash of fear followed by worry, snake through his ocean blue eyes. My smile seemed to calm his mind though. “Hi Alpha!” I said excitedly. I ran up to him and threw my arms around him. He stood there for a minute in shock. I had never done anything like that before, especially not in front of another Wolf from the pack. I was a little worried what his reaction might be knowing he was a ruthless killer and all. But then he slowly wrapped me in a bear hug, calming my worries. My mark was burning out of control, which had me wondering if it knew people’s feelings for me. I wondered if it burned worse when they were in proximity as a warning, or if it just didn’t like Alpha Drake. I pulled away and locked eyes with Roman. I could see his face light up, but also a look of worry washed across it. “Rayne!” He said, then he grabbed me and threw me into a huge bear hug, causing the same type of r
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 53
Chapter 53 (Rayne) As crazy as it sounds, I was really missing my pack and pack life. The regularity of it all. The training and dealing with Alpha Drake, even. The past few months I’ve spent here with Raziel were amazing, there was no doubt about that. I have learned so much about myself and my powers. Plus, our relationship has been growing and getting better every day. I can’t deny that things have been wonderful. It’s so funny to me to see Raziel and not feel fear around him. I remember when he used to scare the ever-living shit out of me, and I feel like that wasn’t really that long ago. I had a brief flashback of him killing Eric and his fangs dripping with Eric's blood. I recalled seeing Eric's lifeless body on the floor. Then I heard the words he spoke to me. ‘No one may take your innocence but me.’ A shudder ran through me causing cold chills to run down my spine. I guess there was still a little fear, but not for my own life, at least. My overall experience here has been
