All Chapters of The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

~(Rayne) I was definitely feeling the alcohol after my drink, the partial amount of Alpha Drake's drink, and Raziel’s drink. They didn't go light on us Wolves knowing that we didn't get drunk like Humans. I probably had the equivalent of 10 shots, if I were to guess. Not that I was even drunk, but definitely feeling good. You know, that lowered inhibition feeling good. I looked up into Raziel’s eyes and I wasn't even afraid of him. Probably the alcohol talking… definitely the alcohol talking. I was still somewhat in shock after the events that unfolded. Actually, I was in denial mostly. I had launched Alpha Drake across the room with only my hand. I acted like I didn't see the green flames, but I did, and I've seen them before from Raziel... I was just too afraid to bring it up. I vaguely remembered my mother and Alpha Drake being suspended in green flames. A twinge of realization hit me. I may be more than just a Wolf... at this time it was probably due to the alcohol, b

~(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 brandy, which I had just turned silver, 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

~(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 my Demon. 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, not on him. 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. I noted how the color brought out the dark tones in his golden skin. His hair was neat but a little tousled in t

Shaking, I got up off my bed and went to my closet to change. I looked at the time and realized I had only about 30 minutes until Brett would be here. Raziel and I had spent more time than I anticipated together, leaving me in a rush. I didn’t care. I wasn’t particularly looking forward to the next set of events that were coming. Knowing exactly what happened to Eric, but having to pretend that I didn’t know, and worse, pretend that I was upset over his disappearance, was going to kill me. I had never been a good liar, so I was practicing what I would do and say while I got ready. I knew a search crew would consist of walking and covering ground so I decided to wear my combat boots, along with some black spandex shorts and a lighter gray colored loose t-shirt. I threw on a baseball cap, opting to bunch my hair into a loose ponytail at the nape of my neck. I was trying to fit in, look as Human as I could. I never cared before, but Eric’s parents would be there and I knew this. I w

~(Rayne) My sleep was restless, if you could even call it sleep. My mind was swimming with everything Brett had told me, and all of the new knowledge I had gained. I was still stressed about Eric, expecting to hear anytime that they had found his remains. I didn’t even check my phone this morning because I slept in so anyone could have messaged me already. Likely though, it would be Jae or Brett. I still had to get to training this morning and was now about to be late. “Shit!” I cried out loud when I realized just how late it actually was. 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. He wouldn’t care what I was going through, and I also hadn’t even told him
