Chapter 42“Raphael, Raphael?” Ramses said, but I could barely make out my name being called as I started to come to. I had a blazing headache which was the first thing I noticed. I went to rub my eyes, but my hands were chained to the wall above my head… This being the second thing I noticed. I looked straight across from me, and I could see Ramses in the adjacent cell. “Dude, you look like you got hit by a bus.” Ramses cackled. “Fuck you, dude… But I do feel like I got hit by one.” I replied, using all the strength I could muster. I tried to mind link Raziel and Rowen with no luck. It seems as if I was in the same situation as Ramses now. “Raziel and Rowen are here somewhere.” I told him. My voice was hoarse and barely above a whisper. “How did you get here?” I asked. “Brother… Look, a man can’t deny what he wants or who he wants. And Haven just…” He started to say, but he stopped when I narrowed my eyes at him. “Ok, ok, I came to check on her. We literally just left her sweet ass

Chapter 44My coven meeting went well. I updated everyone on the possible alliance with the Cryomancers and let them know I would have more details later. Once the meeting was over, I spoke with Atreyu. “The Necromancers think we killed their leader. I'm sure they want revenge. They are toying with me. Keep an eye on things around the covens until we can be sure the threat is neutralized.” I warned him. I would do the same. Before I headed home, I made a stop to Jerome’s coven. His was the closest to my home, and I stopped by there often. I wanted to make sure he knew of the possible impending threat of the Necromancers. With his coven being so close to my home he was right in the line of fire.I stepped through the front gates of his coven, causing all of the coven members to stop and stand at attention as I walked by. I never stopped them when they did this. It was ritual to them, and how they were taught. Who was I to change that? I made my way through the town and to Jerome’s he

Chapter 46“The west? What the hell is over there?” I questioned, while raising one eyebrow at River. “Absolutely nothing, and maybe that’s the point?” He said back. “So, they haven’t been lurking here? Sending the Risen? Nothing strange like that?” I asked. “Nope, and we have had patrols guarding the grounds as well, just in case they tried to come back. But so far, nothing.” River explained. “Thank you, old friend.” I said to River with a deep bow, then I grabbed Roxy’s hand and we headed out.The west was a better lead than anything else I had before. I mind linked Atreyu. “Send troops to the west and the surrounding areas. If they see a Necromancer, I want it alive and delivered to me personally. Once that is done, kill the rest. No exceptions.” I snarled. “Yes sir.” Atreyu retorted, and I closed the mind link. I wouldn’t stop until every last filthy one of them was fucking dead. After we left River’s castle, and I was confident my men were searching the west for the Necromancers

Chapter 48I returned to Jerome’s headquarters. “Do not let any harm come to her. I will be back tomorrow to continue my interrogation.” I said, then I turned and walked out. I walked through his coven ignoring everyone who stopped to stand at attention. My mind was elsewhere. How was I going to get the information needed from this woman without giving her what she wanted? These were the thoughts invading my mind. If I didn’t have Roxy, I would have given her what she wanted in an instant to get the information I needed. But things are different now. Me and Roxy aren’t together, but things are getting quite serious. I wouldn’t want to hurt her. I had to figure out a way to make this work.Once I got home, Atreyu said Roxy was in the bedroom. I thanked him and sent him on his way. As soon as I walked into my bedroom, I laid eyes on Roxy. She was sprawled out on my chaise lounge in an extremely sexy position. She got up from the chaise lounge at the foot of my bed and sauntered towards

Chapter 50(Raphael)Roxy seemed strange this morning, different than usual and a lot quieter. I chalked it off to our encounter last night. That was the first time we had done anything sexual really, and I wondered if maybe it had been a little too much for her... I mean, she definitely didn’t complain. But why would she? She said it was incredible. I did bite her though, without warning… Yea, that might have been a little much for a Human to comprehend. But I couldn’t help it… It just kind of happened. I wanted to ask her about it but decided against it. I knew she wasn’t able to talk freely from being Risen, and that could have been bothering her too. I was frustrated because I hadn’t gotten anywhere with the fucking Necromancer during our last interaction and I really had hoped that she would have given me something, anything. I needed to find the remaining Necromancers so I could find a way to cure Roxy. They had to know a way to reverse this shit. Turn Roxy back to Human. Wit
