All Chapters of The Reaver Chronicles: Rowen (Book 4): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter 1I watched Katrina, my love, sit by Ramses' side on the living room floor of her home. She was holding his hand and he was starting to stir. I assumed he was coming out of his coma. Whatever he needed to do in his mind he must have completed, allowing him to come back to his body. “Ramses, hey baby.” She said, softly, and his eyes started to flutter open. That was my queue to leave. I took one last glance at Katrina, as this would be the last time I would ever see her. The last look I would have of her beautiful face. I shoved down the pain radiating through my chest at the thought. I reached for the necklace Katrina had given me earlier and clasped my hand around it. “Goodbye, my love.” I whispered, and then I materialized away from her house. I intended to go home, but I didn’t quite make it there. I found myself, instead, staring into the spring in the forest where Katrina had pulled this necklace from. It had me wondering just why it was in there to begin with. I stil

Chapter 3Ivy started crying again, but she knew… She always knew what would happen if she betrayed me. “Why… Why did you have to do this? Why did you have to force me into this?!” I yelled. I snapped my fingers, instantly binding Ivy with rose gold rope so she couldn’t move. I let go of her neck and she fell to the floor in a mess of tears. I put my thumb and forefinger against the bridge of my nose. I paced in my study with only the sounds of her cries echoing through my mind, before I finally spoke again. “I don’t want to fucking do this, you know that right? You forced my hand, Ivy. Kendy... Whatever the fuck your name is.” I snarled. I looked at her but she was looking at the floor crying. I bent down and pulled her chin up so I could look her dead in the eyes. I could see the fear on her face. “Please, Rowen. I love you, honey. Please, we can fix this… I... I can fix this.” She begged. “No one can fix this.” I mumbled, dropping her chin and continuing to pace in front of her.

Chapter 5(Rowen) I waited for Katrina to start talking, she looked like she was contemplating something in her mind. “Rowen, I’m so sorry… I..” She started to say, but I stopped her with my hand. “Do I look like I want excuses right now? Because I don’t, Katrina. I want answers. I want to know why I had to rip the heart out of my mate… My mate that I’ve had for 176 years… All because of a fucking necklace!” I shouted. I was trying so hard to hold it together, but I was furious. All of this over a stupid necklace, and for what? I could tell I was scaring Katrina but I didn’t care, I was going to kill her anyways, but I needed answers. She took a deep breath in. “Rowen, I need you to calm down so we can talk. I can explain. It won’t change anything and for that I'm sorry, but I need to feel safe with you.” She said calmly. I closed the gap between us instantly and grabbed her shoulders. “Give me one good reason why you shouldn’t be next?” I snarled, knowing that was the onl

Chapter 7 I had no idea where I was going to go, but I just knew the memories were too much. I wanted them gone, all 176 years of them. Where is Haven when you need her? I thought to myself, silently snickering. I knew she was long dead by now. But the thought of her being Human with no powers and obsessed with my brother, but never able to get to him, was hilarious. I really could have used her memory erasing powers right about now. I wanted every memory I ever had of Ivy, fucking gone. I was walking along the trail that lined my property through the forest. “I wish I never fucking remembered she existed.” I said out loud. I smashed my fist into the nearby tree, shattering a chunk from its trunk. I kept walking aimlessly, lost inside my own thoughts when I ended up outside of my territory. I was in Lucians territory now. Not that I wasn’t allowed here, I just chose to stay away, for the most part, whenever possible. In his territory, Vampires walked the streets freely with th

Chapter 9I sat on my couch just buried in my thoughts. I kept going back to Katrina and how I marked her. I felt so damn bad for it. I literally I don’t even know what the fuck I was thinking. But I realized that since I did it, this was only the first or second time I really thought about her. If I kept busy like I had been all day today, It was easy to ignore the marks pull. The pull for me was only really strong within proximity. Where I lived thousands of miles away it was almost non-existent. Now Katrina would also feel a decrease in intensity due to my distance, but she would still struggle and want to find me. That is how the mark worked. The same way it burns when she is around another man, but it doesn’t for me when I’m around other women. It’s a one sided thing. It was made that way. This might not be so bad. I mean I was honestly good and I thought I was over Katrina until I saw her again. Then I lost my shit. Not to mention I was already in a mood from killing my mate.
