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 31
Chapter 31 He sat me down on his huge black and gold bed. Sitting next to me, he took me into his arms. "Thank you. I'm so sorry, I don’t know what happened." I said with sincerity in my voice. “Shhh darling, it’s ok. You’re alright.” He purred, while running his hand through my silver hair. He snapped and produced us both drinks of gold liquid. “Drink, you’ll feel better.” He said. I drank the liquid, sipping it this time rather than taking it as a shot. He was right. It did make me feel better. Besides the uncomfortable burning of my mark, I was definitely feeling less anxious. My hands weren’t tingly, I didn't feel like I was accidentally calling The Shadows. And honestly, the sheer burning of my mark was almost a comfort at this point, telling me that I was right where I needed to be... in Raziel’s arms, and far away from Raphael. “Now tell me about The Shadows, darling.” Raziel Purred. “I’m not sure where to start. I’m not even sure how I called them... but it was like they c
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 32
Chapter 32 (Raphael) “How did she do it? How did she resist the marks pull?” I asked Axel. “She is strong, she is different from a normal Reaver, and she is ours.” Axel growled. “I know she is... she just doesn't know it yet. My brother may think he is top dog, but this will be a battle he will not win. As long as my mark adorns her beautiful face, I still have a chance. And I will not give up that easily.” I told Axel. "She is perfect, she is exactly what I need. Can you imagine it? High Priestess, Rayne, by my side and ruling my Coven’s?" I purred. I pictured her wearing the High Priestess crown and standing strong by my side. I could see her wearing a silver and black long dress with a crisscross back. It had a long slit from the floor to her upper thigh on one side. She looked so beautiful standing there with my mark adorning her face, sparkling in the sunshine. No one would dare step to her, especially by my side. She would be a fierce leader, and not to mention absolutely be
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 33
Chapter 33 “Reaver.” I growled, as I hung up the phone. I eyeballed him for a moment and assumed he was Raphael. Why else would a Reaver approach me, of all people? That is, unless he had business with someone in my pack... Rayne. “You must be Raphael... Can I help you?” I spewed. Yes, he was terrifying, but I wasn’t about to show weakness. I never did with them, and I never would. I looked him dead in the eyes. My gaze didn’t falter in the least. I noticed this Reaver seemed to be different from Mr. Kane. His demeanor was calm and collected, not fiery. He seemed like he may be more of a man of business than his counterpart, who seemed to love violence over anything else. I mind linked my pack, to alert them and have them on standby in case this went bad. “Indeed, I am Raphael. No need to alert the pack... I’m here to make a deal.” Raphael said, with a glint in his eye. How did he know I alerted the pack? What the fuck? Could they hear a mind link? I realized at that moment that I
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 34
Chapter 34 (Raphael) I stood there in Alpha Drake's office, Shadows writhing at my feet. Alpha Drake had taken his newly risen little sister into his arms, and I could see the tears glistening from his cheeks. I knew calling The Shadows would work. It’s a deal too good to pass up, that is, if they don’t ask for the ultimate sacrifice... Which they often did. Unfortunately for him, he was not excluded from this. I, of course, was reluctant. I was not as friendly with The Shadows as Raziel. None of us brothers really were. You had to be willing to give up quite a bit to work with them, and the price usually wasn't worth the prize. However, The Shadows seemed to be my only option because Alpha Drake wasn’t budging. He loved Rayne as well, and I couldn’t help but think of how special she had to be to get the attention of all these people. There was something more about her, something we were missing, there had to be. Anytime I was around her she seemed so innocent and eager to learn so
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 35
Chapter 35 (Rayne) With the lessening of my mark I was feeling a lot more confident in my abilities to resist Raphael should the time come, and I was sure it would. No way he was giving up that easily. He was very patient, and persistent to a T. I may not know much about him, but if he was anything like his brother... he wouldn’t give up so easily. Raziel had gotten us all dressed up in matching attire and told me he had a surprise for me. I was excited but had no idea what to expect. I didn’t really know him, after all. The short interactions I had with him growing up were more terrifying than anything else, and left little room to get to know him. So, to even guess what he might be planning wasn’t something I even attempted. I figured I would just be along for the ride. We left his house hand in hand, which was new to me as well. Us being openly affectionate was something I had never thought would ever be a thing, until now. This also irritated the hell out of my mark. We didn't
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 36
Chapter 36 Part of me thought Alpha Drake sounded, sad maybe? I couldn't really place it. This wasn’t his usual venom, and I wondered what might be up but didn’t think about it too hard. He was right, I was still part of the pack for two more weeks until I turned 21 at least, and I had an obligation. “You don’t have to go if you don’t want to, darling.” Raziel purred, as he flashed me a perfect cocky smile. “You could just stay here with me forever. In fact, why don’t you just move in? I'm sorry, that might be fast, but the offer stands.” He smirked. I was flattered. “You know I would love nothing more than to spend every day for the rest of my life with you. But I do have an obligation to my pack. Only for a few more weeks and then I'm done. But for now, I do have pack duty, and I can't let my pack down.” I said as I looked up at him. Only a few more weeks, and I would be free of my pack obligations. I would find out who my mate bond had chosen for me, and I would definitely not be
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 37
Chapter 37 My eyes fluttered open to my alarm going off at 6am, time to get ready for pack training. I turned to face Raziel and just took a minute to admire his beauty. He looked so peaceful just lying there with his golden blonde hair a mess and not a worry in the world. His chest was rising and falling slowly as he slept. I got up carefully and planned to head to my house to get ready when I realized that Raziel had already laid out a set of clothes for me to wear to training. A black sports bra, gold shorts and gold combat boots. He knew exactly what my style was, and I couldn't help but feel butterflies at the fact that he paid so much attention to what I wore. I threw on the clothes and threw my hair into a messy ass bun. On my way out I grabbed a stick of beef jerky and some cheese. I didn’t eat much in the morning, but a little something always helped. It was a little further to the training grounds than from my house. I didn't mind though, I jogged on the way there trying t

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
