All Chapters of The Reaver Chronicles: Raphael (Book 2): Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 11Something crazy was happening, and I knew I wasn't losing my mind. Or was I? I have noticed I’ve been on edge a lot more than usual. I chalked it off to being stuck here with these filthy Necromancers. That, and sexual tension, of course. Giving up my plaything wasn’t my best decision. In fact, I was now kind of regretting it. Then there’s Haven being a damn tease. I felt my jaw tense up at the thought of her. But what if it was more than I was thinking? I grabbed some sort of fancy pastry off the tray sitting on the dining room table. What if I'm brushing it off as normal occurrences, when whatever it might be is literally right under my nose? I needed a break from these dirty Necromancers. Maybe I was turning into one of them. The thought made me laugh. Not in a thousand years.I materialized to the park by my home. It was one of my favorite places to sit and think. There was a bench right off the river trail where I could sit and read. Here, I could still see the people

Chapter 13 It was getting close to nightfall, and I had previously mind linked Atreyu to inquire about Roxy. She was currently at a diner just by my house and she was alone. I decided to pop in and check on her myself. I, of course, wouldn’t make it seem like I was following her. Instead, I would make it seem like I had randomly just bumped into her. Axel came to life at the thought of seeing his chosen mate again, and honestly my mind could use the distraction. I materialized a block away from the diner planning to walk in nonchalantly. I was going back and forth in my mind trying to figure out the perfect way to act like we just ran into each other and not give away the fact that I was indeed following her. I had to push Axel into the back of my mind because his internal dialogue was driving me mad. I wouldn’t have been able to keep up my charade with his insistent howling anyway. I got to the door and opened it. I could see Roxy sitting in the far booth. I could only see her

Chapter 15I knew this was just a dreamwalk, so of course, it was going to be somewhat different than real life. But I was still astonished at what I was seeing. The girl I saw when I came around the corner was in fact Haven. The Haven I remember. With her fiery red hair down to her ass, and her deep green eyes. But she wasn’t a Necromancer... She wasn’t a Necromancer at all. She was a Forsaken... The Forsaken were a clan of old, one of the first even. They were said to be able to completely control the elements, all four of them in every capacity. The Forsaken were a graceful species. Everything about them was beautiful and flowing like water. Their hair, their voices, their movements, all fluid. Their magic was coveted by many, and clan after clan, species after species tried to capture them. Tried to find a way to extract their magic or imprison them and force them to use their magic for whatever their captors wanted at the time.Many tried, many failed, and even lost their very l

Chapter 17Raphael was the first Reaver to mark me, I chose him first on purpose. I’ve always had a soft spot for him. He was the worst off out of the brothers. His family was murdered. This included his wife and twin boys who were only 3 years old at the time. It was a home invasion gone wrong. He was strong though, keeping his emotions at bay. But I could tell something was wrong when I first approached him. And when I looked into his memories, that's when I knew he was the one. He was the first. I chose him first, changed him first, wiped his memories first, and had him mark me first. None of this he remembers, obviously, but there is a permanent connection to me. He doesn’t know why other than the mark adorning my skin, but there is more. Before I changed him, we got very close. I had to get to know him, see him in all his Human flaws before I could make a true decision. I made the right decision, as with all four of the men I chose. I feel the decision was right. I didn't mean

Chapter 19I materialized into the closet that was nearby. I wanted to hear what was about to be said. Blaze walked in and shut the door. “Haven baby, come here” He said. I could tell he was frustrated by the sound of his voice. She walked over to him, of course, having to pretend she was still under his command. He took her into his arms and just held her for a bit.Then he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, softly. I was not appeased by his actions, but of course I couldn’t say anything. He pulled away and looked at her like she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He really had a thing for her I suppose but killing her and raising her back from the dead wasn’t the best way to show it.“Haven baby, we need to get rid of Marina. I’m not quite sure what to do with her but she is starting to get out of control.” He said with a sigh. “All you have to do is kill her, and before she wakes up take her off the Land of the Dead. She will never wake up after that.” Haven said.
