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 38
Chapter 38 (Alpha Drake) "I'm so sorry." I said as I softly pressed my lips to Raynes. She tasted sweet, like coconuts. She, of course, pushed me away, like I figured she would. I wanted her to feel my regret though, and I hoped I had gotten the message through. Even if it hurts me to do it. "What did you do, Alpha?!" Rayne said, with fear in her voice. Guilt flooded into my chest when I saw the look in her beautiful silver eyes. "I'm so sorry." I stammered as a stray tear fell down my cheek. I couldn't believe I had been forced to agree to this. I just wanted to yell for Rayne to run... or to just go, but I knew I couldn't. If I did, The Shadows could take Reya. After everything I was forced into that ended up giving me her back, I couldn't risk it. I honestly never thought I would be willing to give Rayne up, but I also never knew about The Shadows... and I certainly never thought they could bring someone back from the dead. No wonder Reavers are so powerful, they literally hav
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 39
Chapter 39 (Roman) I had been racking my brain to try and figure this shit out for over a month now. I had been losing time, or so I thought. It wasn't like I was blacking out or anything, but just when I woke up it was like a week had passed rather than just a day. But how is that even possible? I know it sounded crazy, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was different. Something wasn’t right, not adding up. The weirdest thing was it seemed like no one else even noticed. I had asked a few of the other Wolves at training and on patrol if they noticed anything weird, but they all thought I was just crazy. I swear only a few days had passed and yet Rayne’s birthday was now in a couple of weeks? Wasn't she just 19? How is she almost 21 now? You can't tell me we lost an entire year or more? Trust me, I paid attention to everything Rayne related, and I would not have missed this. An entire year? Not fucking possible. I thought I had 2 years left of my obligation to watch ov
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 40
Chapter 40 (Raziel) I materialized in front of Alpha Drake. He was sitting at the bar in his pack house. To say I was upset, was an extreme understatement. I was fucking furious. Knowing how much Alpha Drake cared for Rayne, even possibly loved her, I couldn't believe he would be a part of this goddamn shit. Our deal was for him to protect her, not give her to the god damn enemy. He was sitting alone at the bar, drinking brandy on the rocks. It seemed as if he expected me, but how could he not? Even despite knowing I was right behind him, he didn't turn around or say a word. He just kept drinking his brandy. "What the fuck did you do?!" I exclaimed as I slammed my hand down on the bar next to him making the liquid in his glass ripple. Much to my surprise he didn't even flinch. He just picked up his glass, took another long drink of brandy, and set it back down. He turned to me, and we locked eyes. While his face was solemn and void of emotion, I could see the emotions swimming in
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 41
Chapter 41 (Rayne) I tried to run as Raphael walked back towards me, but I wasn’t able to move a muscle. As hard as I tried, my legs didn't even budge. It was like I was frozen in place just waiting for his next command. This pissed me off to no end. He strolled up to me and took me in his arms. My mark exploded in approval, sending unwanted chills down my spine. It was like my body wasn’t my body. I tried to mind link Raziel and wasn’t able to. It was blocked, somehow. That sent a panic flooding through me. I have never not been able to reach him. I felt like I had been here with Raphael for weeks, but I know we just got here. Raphael laid his lips onto mine with a soft sort of hunger. I reciprocated easily, as if it was what I wanted. But I didn’t, I didn't want this. I didn't want him. He pulled away none the wiser. “What would you like to do, beautiful?” He purred. I want to leave, actually. My mind was perfectly intact right now, but my body was fuzzy. It was the opposite fe
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 42
Chapter 42 (Raziel) I was pacing in my brother's room trying to figure out what the hell to do. I was trying to figure out how I could find the gate and stop my devious brother from completing the mating ritual with the woman I loved, when suddenly, I felt it... Rayne was using magic! That meant the barrier was down, she was no longer hidden! I materialized to her in an instant, just in time to hear her ask The Shadows to remove the mark. I knew the price. It was a bond for a bond. A price that was too steep, especially if I were her intended mate. Even though the chances were so slim, it was a possibility I wasn't willing to give up. “No!!” I shouted, as I reached for her arm. But it was too late. “I accept.” She snarled. And before I could get to her, she was engulfed in Shadows. They were only on her for a second, but that was all it took before they took something from her that she could never get back... and then they started disappearing into nothing, and everything. I mater
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 43
Chapter 43 I placed my hand on the right side of Raynes face, she closed her eyes and let me do my work. Within seconds her beautiful face was marked. I stood back to admire my work. Fuck, she was so goddamn beautiful. Even an angry, dark, empty mess. My mark glittering along the side of her face just made her that much more beautiful. And she was all mine now. My mark was a gold crescent moon, adorned in filigree and vines that flowed around the crescent and down her neck. It was large on her face, much like Raphael’s mark, but different in many ways. It was glittering as she moved around in the sunlight, and I couldn't help but fall more in love with her knowing that someday that mark would be permanent. “Your will is done, darling.” I purred to her. I thought I saw a sparkle in her eye for a second, but it quickly returned to the darkness that I was starting to grow accustomed to. I knew what the mark did to her and how it affected her. Especially when I was around, so it didn'

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
