Chapter 21 I snapped my fingers and the DJ put on a slow song. I snapped my fingers again and slowed down time, that way I could revel in this moment much longer. Manipulating time was something I did often. I loved giving myself more time to complete tasks, or speeding time up when I was anticipating something. These simple changes came in rather useful. Just another one of the many things we, as Reavers, could do. Rayne looked up at me. Her beautiful platinum eyes were sparkling. I couldn't help but think about a time when she would be mine forever. I planned to slow time down often once that happened. I knew she would warm up to me, it just took time. Maybe quite a bit more time than I had anticipated. She will be 20 in a short time, and I had hoped to win her over around 18 or so. That didn't quite work as well as I had originally thought. Probably my own fault anyways, you know, scaring off all those people she cared about, and killing Eric. Nero scoffed, they deserved it any

Chapter 23 (Rayne) Roman had dropped me off a little early, I blamed it on the night's events. But really, I was eager to get home and fuck around with these powers, so I didn’t mind. I had always wondered why my mother and I had platinum, a precious metal, colored eyes when no one else I had ever met did. I had always heard the stories of Reavers and their precious metal obsessions. How their eyes and voices matched, but never put it together until now. I can't be just a Wolf, I had to be something more. I could do the things Raziel did. Well, some of them, sort of. I wasn't sure, but I was determined to find out and try again. I got home and changed out of my dress into a gold sports bra and sweatpants. I was becoming fond of the color. I may be a little biased though because gold reminded me of him. I sat on my bed and closed my eyes. I was determined to make a flaming green fireball. I concentrated as hard as I could and tried to force it to form, but nothing happened. I tried

Chapter 25 (Raziel) I had been tracking Rayne for weeks now, in case she was using her powers unknowingly again. She could do some real damage to herself, and possibly others, being untrained. I made it my personal business to keep track of her unsolicited magic usage. Hell, her whole life was my personal business anyway, so why not? She had access to a plethora of powers that she really had no idea about, and any of those powers could start to form at any time. She already was using fireballs and dreamwalking. What would be next? I was determined to keep her safe no matter the cost. Everything had been calm the last little while. I assumed that Alpha Drake being out of town multiple times in the past few weeks, definitely helped. Unfortunately, he had returned a day or so ago, and I had been waiting for her to just snap again. He undoubtedly would not leave her alone, I was sure of it. He made it very clear to me by his actions that he wanted to make her Luna of The Obsidian pack

Chapter 27 "Dreamwalking?!" Wynter screeched after we woke up and she re-lived my dream. "So it wasn't a dream after all. Shit..." I huffed. Raphael clearly said dreamwalking was real, it was something a Reaver could do easily and enjoyed it. It would make sense that I could do it as well. I knew now that I was much more than just a Wolf. That would mean I dreamwalked to Raziel’s dream too. And when I summoned him to my dream with Alpha Drake, that was also real. Well, he was, at least. I wondered how often I had unknowingly done this in the past. I started to panic thinking I had unknowingly trespassed in other people’s dreams. Then I noticed I still had that tingly feeling on my face where Raphael had cupped it last night. I got up and went into my bathroom to check the mirror. That's when I saw it. The most beautiful silver, glittery, infinity symbol standing diagonally, covered in vines and filigree, sparkling right on the side of my face. The filigree and vines were going down

Chapter 29 (Rayne) I was still in a hot mess after what had just happened with Raziel. The mark on my face was burning its disapproval of my shenanigans. I still had to get to training this morning and was now about to be late. “Shit!” I cried out loud. 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, so I went anyway. I got to training at the same time as Roman. “Hey.” I said, as I was trying to catch my breath from running. I looked up at Roman since he hadn't said anything, and I had completely forgotten about the mark. He was eyeballing it in awe. “What is that? It’s beautiful, oh my god.” He stammered. His words made the mark burn. It seemed that anyone else arou
