Chapter 9Katrina was still in my arms when the back door of the room opened and Katrina’s sisters barged through in a mess of fury and confusion. “What the fuck was that?” Kember demanded. “Yea, you know that using the ritual for personal reasons is strictly forbidden!” Kiera shouted at her sister. Katrina buried her face in my chest. I knew she didn’t want to face her sisters. They both just stood there waiting for her to say something while I tried to console her. After a moment, she pulled herself out of my arms and faced them both. “Look, I know what I did was wrong… But it was for a damn good reason.” Katrina stammered. “Oh yea? And what could be a good enough reason for you to risk your magic??” Kember shot back. Katrina looked at me and I nodded to her. She looked back at her sisters and took a breath in. “Haven was a Forsaken. She had been messing with Ramses’ memories, and those of a couple of his brothers. I couldn’t let her get away with whatever she was secretly plannin
Chapter 10I materialized all three of us to my house. We set Haven in one of the guest rooms and left the dagger in her chest while we decided just how to go about this. When Haven comes back as a Human, she was going to be pissed. She would have no powers. She would start to age and have to learn to live her life as a Human. I didn’t even feel one bit bad for her either, especially after knowing all of the shit she stirred up. A Human life would be fitting for her. I decided we should go talk to my brother Raziel first before we did anything. That way we could see if the Human town along the edge of the Wolf pack bordering his lands would even be a good fit for Haven to begin with. Katrina agreed, so we materialized to my brother's front gate. Katrina gasped as she took in the sight of Raziel’s home. It was similar to mine. So similar, that you could definitely tell we were brothers. “It’s majestic, isn’t it?” I said to Katrina. “You guys are definitely related.” She replied. “Oh
Chapter 11Raziel moved a piece of hair from my face causing me to inhale again. I was trying so hard not to react to him, but he must have noticed. “Is my proximity affecting you, little Witch?” Raziel asked. “Um, no.” I stammered but his pet name made my heart flutter. He then stepped closer to me, we were only inches apart now. I was bombarded by the smell of his cologne, and it was heavenly to my nose. My hormones were going absolutely wild, and I fought back the urge to reach out and touch him. “How about now?” He purred. A furious blush spread across my cheeks, my thoughts were all over the place. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat, and attempted to take a step back, but it was as if Raziel anticipated my next move, because he reached out and placed his hand on the small of my back, stopping me from moving. I gasped involuntarily at his touch, to which his face remained emotionless but his eyes showed approval. He liked the game. This was something he enjoyed and a
Chapter 12“Once this mark is permanent, I'm going to take you far, far, away from here… And I’m going to leave you there. And you are going to spend the rest of your life trying to find your way back to me. And if you make it back, I’ll just take you somewhere else… I will be yours, but you will never have me again after tonight.” Raziel purred. Haven seemed like she was trying to fight the marks pull but couldn’t. She acted like his words didn;t even phase her, and he pulled her into his arms. She tried to kiss him but he turned his head from her so she kissed his cheek instead. My jaw dropped, what a perfectly terrible punishment… She would, for the rest of her life, be chasing someone who she would never have. Raziel looked up and we locked eyes. I smiled at him and nodded my head. He remained emotionless, but I could tell by his eyes that he was happy to see my approval. “If you’ll excuse us.” Raziel said. He grabbed Haven's arm, and not gently either, pulling her upstairs behi
Chapter 13I handed Katrina the ritual knife. “Thank you.” She said. But something about the sadness in her voice had me worried about her. “Are you sure you will be ok?” I asked her. She looked at me with a confused look on her face. “Why wouldn’t I be?” She mumbled under her breath. “You realize that I can pickup on the slightest behavior change right? You know, Reaver powers and all... “ I said with a grin. She smiled at my dorky comment. It wasn’t Reaver powers though, it was literally her voice that gave it away. We may have solved one situation, but I knew her situation with The Ancestors was really getting to her. I had hoped she wasn’t regretting her decision to save me. A Witch's power mainly stems from the Ancestors… Without access to their magic you were just a person with an herb and crystal collection. Katrina was born a Witch, she’s always had access to them... Until now.“I will be fine, I just need some time to figure out my life.” She said, and she kissed me gently o
Chapter 14I held my arm out for Kember and she walked into my embrace. Now I was holding them both. I mean, I knew I had an effect on Katrina’s sisters, but I was not aware of the extent of it. Neither of them could bear to see me basically sacrifice myself. I had to make it work though, there was no other way. I had to try. Even if it meant I never came back… I couldn’t let Katrina continue to suffer. Not like this.I released the girls and stepped back a few steps, I had made up my mind. “Ladies, listen. I need you to do this ritual for me. I promise you both I will return. Katrina needs my help. She gave up everything to save me, and I will be returning the favor. Please… Help me to help her.” I begged. Kiera shook her head no. “I refuse to help you die.” She cried, and then she turned and stomped off towards the back of the club, wiping angry tears as she went. “Well, that went well.” I said to Titan. “Fucking women.” He retorted. I had to think fast, I needed this to work. “K
Chapter 15She turned to walk out of the foyer but I had questions. “How long have you been a Vampire for?” I asked her. My question caught her off guard. “I... Uh... No one is supposed to know. How did you?...” She stammered. “Listen, little Vamp... There is a lot you don’t know about Reavers, and even more you don’t know about me. But if you have time later, I could show you.” I purred with a wink. I could see the desire flash through her eyes, but she stayed strong. “I think your brother is waiting upstairs.” She said playfully, and turned to walk away. “Hm, it’s a start. I’ll get her eventually.” I said to Titan. “Fuck yes you will, and Vampires huh? Mmmmm.” Titan howled. I watched her wander back into the kitchen which connected to Rowens garage and then I started heading up the stairs to his room. Once I got about halfway to his room I noticed the walls had blood smeared all over them on both sides. It was across the doors, and on the floor throughout the hallway. “Ok…” I sai
Chapter 16I ran my finger down her spine causing her whole body to tense as cold chills raced over her skin. I pulled out of her and zipped my pants back up. I then snapped and Cherry was instantly tied back up against the bedpost. Exactly where she was when I originally came into the room. I walked over to her and pressed my lips to hers softly. “Good fucking girl.” I whispered against her lips, and then we locked eyes. I could see a mixture of emotions flowing through them, and I knew she was hooked. I flashed her a million dollar smile, then grabbed the whip from the bed and tossed it to my brother who was drinking rose gold colored brandy from a glass. He caught the whip from the air and snapped it to his side while downing the rest of his brandy. “Tag, you’re it.” I said with a grin. Rowen let out a chuckle. “I think she likes you, brother.” He said with a shit eating grin on his face. I turned back around and saw that Cherry was watching my every move. “They always do, broth
