The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 8
Chapter 8 (Demon) I clenched my jaw as I watched that scum of an Alpha turn and run off. I wanted nothing more than to rip his throat out right here, right now. But he was the only reason Rayne was in somewhat of a safe space. And I needed her to be safe. I turned to face her, and I could see the wound bleeding on her brow. I quickly healed it, wondering why she hadn’t healed on her own yet. Sometimes a wound that is relatively bad will take longer to heal. It must have been a lot deeper than it looked. The thought of him hurting her enraged me to no end. "If he so much as looks in your general direction, you let me know and I will end him!" I sneered. I was more than upset, I was fucking furious. I tried my best not to let my anger show, but I was sure I was failing... I know how much my anger affects Rayne, even if she tries to act like it doesn't. She was already terrified of me. Which was partially... Ok, entirely my own fault... Ripping her boyfriend's throat out and all... I
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 9
Chapter 9 Despite the fact that I knew Alpha Drake couldn't hurt me anymore, my legs were still shaking like a leaf when I got to his office door. I squared my shoulders and held my head high, waiting to be called inside. Not that it would change my outcome at all, but I could hope. I was only outside of his door a few agonizing seconds before I heard him. "You may enter, Rayne." His tone was rough, and he didn’t sound happy in the least bit. I cringed, and Wynter whined when she heard the straight acid seeping through his voice. Alpha Drake exudes power. You could feel it rolling off him in waves at all times. Even when my Demon had saved me earlier, Alpha Drake had still exuded immense power. He was looking him dead in the eyes, not knowing if that would be the last sight he ever saw. Still, even faced with possible death, he never backed down. It was terrifying, really. The man was fearless, and I knew from the stories that he was also ruthless. Those two combinations are volatile
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 10
Chapter 10 I was in my room, except it wasn't my room... It looked different, somehow... I got up and went to my closet to find something to wear. As I opened the closet door and peered inside I noticed that everything in my wardrobe was not mine... It seemed that none of these items of clothing were anything I would have actually bought for myself. After looking through all the items available, I picked out a black and silver shimmery dress. It was short and had only one shoulder. It was tight fitting and accentuated all of my curves. I picked it because it seemed like the most modest thing in there. A pair of black and silver, sparkly, six-inch heels followed. They looked like they were made for this dress. I didn’t normally wear heels, but these were just calling out to me. My long silver hair flowed down my back in beachy waves, which I thought was strange... My hair was always pin straight. I’ve never worn it wavy before. It looked nice though, maybe a change was needed. I loo
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 11
Chapter 11 (Demon) "Anthony, what do you have to report?" I asked curiously. Anthony was my second in command. He was tall and muscular like any Reaver. He sported dark hair, dark bronze eyes, and a straight expression almost always. He had a crescent moon tattooed on the right side of his face with vines going down his neck. He handled all my dirty work, the cleanup, the reports. He did literally anything and everything I asked with complete obedience. Absolutely no questions asked. You could say he would be considered a friend, my closest friend, even. Reavers did not run or live in packs like the Wolves did. We were more solitary keeping to our small Covens of 13 or less and just branching off from there. I, however, ran 23 Covens. Much of those Covens are intertwined together, living in the same areas. We inhabited more area than I think anyone realized. With our sheer numbers and our multitude of powers, we really had no enemies worthwhile. I have a title, High Priest. We don
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 12
Chapter 12 I materialized directly in front of Rayne. We locked eyes and I could see her confusion. She had no idea where she was or what she was doing. I knew where we were though. We were in a dream... We were in her dream. She was hanging onto the arm of Alpha Drake. My Wolf howled at the sight of her touching him. I, however, was much too distracted by how she looked to even really care. The sight of her completely took my breath away. Not that she didn’t always take my breath away, but I had never seen her done up like this before. I had no idea how someone so beautiful could become even more enticing. She was wearing a silver and black shimmery dress with one shoulder. It hugged her in all the right places, accentuating her curves perfectly. She matched with a pair of silver and black heels, putting her even with Alpha Drake in height. Her long silver hair was in beachy waves flowing down her back. I couldn't help but notice how the colors of that gorgeous dress made her eyes
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 13
Chapter 13 (Rayne) We train four times a week Monday through Thursday, every morning for 4 hours. It was rigorous training. Alpha Drake shows no mercy, and we were expected to do the same. The only reason I knew how to fight and protect myself the way I did, was because of him, and the training he makes us complete. He pairs us off with different members of the pack to gauge and strengthen our skills. We normally never fought the same person twice within the week. We had enough pack members to be able to accommodate that. So basically, we just kicked a new person's ass every day. As much as I loathed Alpha Drake, he definitely knew what he was doing. Today, I was paired off with Roman. Strange that I had never once fought him before, or even seen him, now that I think about it. It made me wonder if he was new to our pack? Or have I just not noticed him until now? To be honest, I never noticed anyone. I kept to myself in fear that my Demon would do something... His track record was
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 14
Chapter 14 Training earlier had kicked my ass. It was rigorous on any regular day, but I only noticed now how it was affecting me. I don't know if I was just overworked fighting Alpha Drake’s croony or what. I definitely needed a nap before patrol tonight or there was no way I was going to stay awake. I still had a few hours before I had to report to the east quarter so I jumped into bed and pulled the covers up over my head. It felt like as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out. I found myself standing in front of what looked like a medieval castle. That would be the only way to explain what I was seeing. It was massive, sitting on acres and acres of land. The whole thing looked like something out of a horror movie, yet it was intriguing to say the least. The mansion was solid black with gold accents. There were peaks and pillars all over, with golden gargoyle statues positioned everywhere I looked. The windows that were visible were bigger than any I've ever seen in any home...
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 15
Chapter 15 (Demon) Anthony brought me a whole stack of books, everything that he could find, every piece of literature known to the Underworld about dreamwalking. I had spent hours pouring over every book, committing everything I read to memory. I didn't want to miss a single thing. There had to be a way I could help Rayne. I was already so exhausted after the day I had endured. That, and all of this reading on top of it, had me fighting to stay awake. I swear I only closed my eyes one time and the next thing I know I'm dreamwalking. This was nothing new to a Reaver though, no big deal. I'm dreamwalking my own dream. Perfect, I could use this time to study more while my body rested. I was in my room where I had originally fallen asleep, when I heard a noise. How could there be something unexpected here? I control my own dreams... I wanted to let it play out, so I hid just behind the drapes as Rayne walked into my room. I was so surprised to see her, my heart skipped a beat, or may

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
