The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 46
~(Rayne)Red, that was the only thing I could see. The anger, it was so much… too much. Betrayal, that was the one and only emotion coursing through my veins. The words Eric had said to me that night floated through my head. The way he had manhandled me, trying to force himself on me. And here I was, pretending to care that he was dead. He fucking deserved it and we all knew it. I knew that his family was faking it just as much as I was. I could tell in the way they held themselves and in the words they carefully crafted when speaking his name. The audacity of his mother to ask me to speak on his behalf. Me, the woman he said he loved, yet would have raped without a second fucking thought. The woman he treated like a sidewalk whore… The anger grew within my chest, spewing from the cage I tried so desperately to lock it into. I had kept to myself, remained visible, and ensured to look distraught. I hugged people and spoke so highly of Eric. Everything Brett and I had spoken

~(Rayne) I did it!!! I did it! Yessssss!!!!!!” I exclaimed, while jumping up and down in place. I had been practicing that for months, and this was the first time I hadn’t stumbled when I did it. I was finally getting better. I was feeling stronger and more in control. I felt the icy warmth wash over me as if in approval of my progress. This is exactly what I was planning on. I needed the control. I needed to be able to control my abilities. Mostly for myself, and of course, my vendetta for revenge. But also, because it was my birthright. Being a Reaver, I fucking deserve to have these abilities. Those thoughts startled me for a second. That was The Darkness talking, and I knew it. All of my newfound confidence and cockiness was The Darkness. I can't say I didn't like the feeling, though. It was doing more than just filling the void in my heart and soul. I felt powerful and magnificent, like a Goddess when The Darkness was with me. Who wouldn’t want to feel this way all the t

In an instant, I was enveloped by The Darkness. I felt myself being lifted off the ground, suspended midair, as a swirling vortex of dark smoke encircled me. The Darkness wrapped around me like a shroud, its icy warmth seeping into my very being, threatening to consume me whole. I closed my eyes and took in every ounce of the icy warmth, feeling it remove any remnant of the void I had once felt. This time the icy warmth didn't dissipate leaving me gasping for air. No, this time it felt permanent. I was exhilarated, electrified by an endless surge of power. The dark energy flowed so easily through my palms, and it felt as if anything I wanted, I could have. I felt like a Goddess… no, I was a Goddess. Suddenly, I felt the familiar pull away from The Darkness and I regained consciousness as Raziel gently slapped my face. “Rayne, Rayne, come on, wake up!” He spoke with a panicked tone. My eyes fluttered open and Raziel immediately gasped. I could see my reflection in his golden eyes.

After my breakdown Raziel and I went home. I was expecting him to drill me with a million questions about my newfound powers, my black eyes, or anything that had just happened. But to my surprise, he didn’t. I knew he wanted to know, and he wanted to ask. I think I was in such a fragile state that he figured it would be better to just let me talk when I was ready. I was thankful for this. The truth is, I was never going to be ready. How would I explain this? Oh sorry, I was so sad that The Darkness came to fill the void, and I, like an idiot, agreed to let it in knowing this was a bad idea? Oh, yea and Wynter hasn’t been present in my mind in at least 3 months, so I’m just, you know, dealing with this shit alone? I know, I know. I almost killed my Alpha, but The Darkness just makes me feel better, so that makes it ok, right? How do you even say that? I wouldn't even know where to begin. Plus, the fact that I had power superior to his… I knew his brothers were afraid of me

I found myself floating on top of a cloud of black smoke, just like I had before. This time was different though. I wasn’t me. I mean, I was me, but it was like I was someone else, and I was watching me from the sidelines. I looked like a dark Goddess. I wore a flowing black and silver gown, its intricate design seeming to shimmer and writhe like living shadows. Slits on either side of the dress rose to mid-thigh, imbuing my every step with a sense of subtle, mysterious power. The sleeveless top plunged low, framing my cleavage in a sumptuous, jewel toned curve. Atop my head, a crown appeared to be forged from the very essence of The Darkness itself, its twisted, nightmarish beauty seemed to draw the light out of the air around me. My silver tresses cascaded down my back in sleek, pin-straight folds, framing my face with icy elegance. My makeup was a deliberate, dramatic statement, a rich, dark smokey eye, bold winged liner, and a deep, mysterious black lipstick. In my hand,

~(Raphael) It had been about a month since The Darkness had made its presence known to me. Losing the ashes of my mate, Roxy… my only true love, had hit me much harder than I expected. I found myself wallowing in a pit of despair for months, yet seemed like eons before The Darkness arrived. I was sure it would never end on more than one occasion since the trade. The fact that I didn’t even get the prize I gave so much up to get, was the worst blow. It left me writhing in pain and agony trying to fill a void that was my own damn fault to begin with. The Darkness swooped in so easily. It was an icy warmth that washed over me like a blanket, soothing my ailments and filling the void that my mishap had left me. With The Darkness I felt whole again. I felt free from the constant torture that was the void. Something that nothing else had been able to replicate thus far. I had rarely left my home since I failed to claim the prize that I so sought, and I didn't really plan

~(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 months I’ve spent here with Raziel were amazing, there was no doubt about that. I had learned so much about myself and my powers. Plus, our relationship had really grown and had been getting better every day. I couldn’t deny that things had truly 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

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 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 moment in complete 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 had an image to uphold. But then he slowly wrapped me in a bear hug, calming all of my previous worries. My mark raged out of control, its fiery energy surging to a fever pitch. I couldn't help but wonder if it was somehow attuned to the emotions of those around me, burning brighter in response to their feelings. I wondered if it burned worse when they were in proximity as a warning, or if it just didn’t like Alpha Drake. I ignored it, pulled away and smiled, then looked over and locked eyes with Roman.

The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 61
I mentally stumbled, reeling from the sudden revelation as I spoke to Wynter in stunned inquiry. "What??! How?!" Wynter's response was a mirror of my own shock, her mental voice rising to a shriek. "I have no idea, Rayne!! Oh my god!" Before I could further process this bombshell, Raziel had closed the gap between us and swept me into his arms, his eyes blazing with exhilaration. "I knew it!" He exclaimed, his voice trembling with emotion. "I fucking knew it, but I just had to be sure." My mind reeled as I struggled to comprehend the impossible. "How is this happening?! I thought my mate bond was gone?!" I exclaimed, my words tumbling out in a chaotic mix of confusion and awe. And then, as if summoned by the turmoil of emotions, The Shadows emerged for everywhere and nowhere. Their dark presence coalesced from the very air itself to envelop us in an icy, unsettling chill. The Shadows' emergence seemed to have a palpable, living quality to it, as if every Shadow that existe
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 60
My entire pack was here! Roman came in behind me yelling surprise and blowing into one of those little horns that made 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 being prepared. Looking towards the mouthwatering smells I could see Wolves from the pack out 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 I noted that the whole arena was decorated in gold decorations. As I scanned the crowd, I noticed that every single person was adorned with some touch of gold, whether it was a subtle accent or a more elaborate display. The synchronicity was striking, and I felt a thrill of delight as I realized that everyone's attire perfectly complemented my own gold dress. It

(6 Months later)Things had been going well in the pack. I had been helping with training and doing other side jobs for Alpha Drake. Our relationship had really blossomed into something amazing. I was no longer afraid of him or disgusted by him. We were strictly professional, with an occasional flirty comment from him, that I mostly just ignored. Nothing too wild though. It was more fun than anything. I realized that he was only this way with me, and usually only without the presence of others. He still had an image to maintain and I understood that. Since moving in with Raziel, I'd learned that being part of my pack was an essential part of who I was. The brief period of separation had left me feeling restless and unfulfilled. But now that I'd settled back into a routine with the pack, I felt a sense of contentment wash over me. I was grateful that Raziel understood and respected my need for balance in my life. He didn't mind that I was still deeply connected to the pack, and hi

Once we made it back to his room I sat him down on his bed and looked into his golden orbs. But before I could speak he took my face in his hands. “I am sorry I lied to you about Jae and what happened. I know this is what you refer to because this is the only thing I have ever hidden from you and regardless of my intent, I know it was wrong. I promise never to hide anything from you, ever again.” There wasn’t even a moment when I thought I wouldn’t forgive him, but this made it even more clear that I was willing to go through a lot for this man. “Thank you, for keeping it from me. Honestly, I wasn’t in the mindset to handle such a devastating loss. But I am now, and I’m ok.” I said. I figured I would tell him about Jae and Jordan, but not right now. I was exhausted. Dying, and then being reincarnated by The Shadows, really took its toll. As tired as I was, my mind was still racing. Although I was still upset at Raphael, the hatred I was feeling before was completely gone.
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 57
~(Rayne)I felt weightless, as if suspended in mid-air. It was disorienting, considering I could've sworn I was just being propelled through the earth at breakneck speed. But when I finally materialized, I found myself standing in a familiar yet unsettling landscape. The scenery around me seemed to match the area just outside the pack arena in Maine, but something was off. A gaping hole, which I was certain I had just emerged from, was nowhere to be seen. Instead, I stood amidst an eerie stillness, the sky above tinged with an ominous reddish hue that cast an unnatural glow over everything. There were many Wolves here training, and I could hear them being led by an unknown male voice. He sounded powerful, with conviction. I made my way to the arena and looked inside. I was right, a strong looking male figure was teaching about 25 Wolves. I leaned on the side of the arena bleachers and watched. Some of the Wolves training looked young, like children. Others were full

~(Raziel) This battle had been ruthless, and knowing that it was pointless to even try and intervene, I was somewhat enjoying the show. Things seemed as if they were coming to a head, but what would that outcome entail? These were the questions I wasn’t sure I wanted the answers to. I looked up at my brother and we locked eyes just as he sent multiple giant black fireballs hurtling my way. Beside me, Alpha Drake dodged to safety, and I instantly materialized to the side, narrowly avoiding the inferno. But Roman remained paralyzed, frozen in shock, utterly helpless. I knew I couldn't reach him in time. That's when I witnessed a selfless act that would haunt me forever. Rayne materialized directly in front of Roman, positioning herself to bear the full force of the attack. I watched in unspeakable horror as the twin fireballs struck her with unrelenting ferocity, the blast slamming into her chest with devastating precision. My heart plummeted, sinking like a stone into the

Raphael barely had time to regain his footing before I launched both fans at him with deadly precision, hoping to connect with flesh once again. He materialized out of the way, but he was still a second too late as one of my fans bit deep into his calf muscle. A triumphant smirk spread across my face as I watched my fans, with almost sentient loyalty, boomerang back into my waiting hands, ready to be wielded again in our dance of vengeance. The Darkness once again asserted its influence, healing Raphael's wounds with an otherworldly swiftness. But what happened next caught me off guard. With a sudden, sharp motion, Raphael clenched his fist, and my fans were torn from my grasp, flying toward him as if drawn by an unseen force. I expected him to catch them, but instead, he unleashed a black fireball that struck the fans with incredible accuracy, shattering them into a hundred glittering fragments. Blades and shards of gold spun through the air, suspended for a moment in a dea
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 54
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 what caught me off guard was the unexpected, visceral pull I felt towards him. It was a sensation that was decidedly absent before. This newfound attraction was unmistakably sensual, igniting a spark of desire within me that I neither welcomed nor understood. My frustration mounted as I struggled to come to terms with this unwelcome development. My mark reacted out of its own volition. It must have sensed Raphael’s feelings for me, and responded by burning with an intense,
