Tmnt Raphael 2007 Novels & Stories

I swallowed, my eyes shifted to Raphael, who was now standing still staring at his brother with his hand tucked into his pocket. I turned back to the man in front of me extending my hand. "Yes, I am. Hi," "Nice to meet you. I'm Matteo Thorne. Raphael's twin brother." "She did not ask you, man. Keep your hands to yourself." Rapheal snapped but Matteo already had his hand in mine squeezing it slightly. "You're very beautiful. And your eyes...you have a very..." He barely finished his statement before Raphael matched toward him and dragged him back from his shirt.

he says softly, “I will remove his throat.” The sincerity in his voice makes heat rush through me, not fear, but safety. Then, because trauma makes you say strange and idiotic things, I blurt: “Selene once turned an Alpha into a cat.” Raph blinks. “A cat.” I nod, very seriously. “A very annoyed housecat. With control issues.” And just like that, the darkness cracks. Raph actually smiles. A real one. Sharp and warm and a little dangerous. “So,” he says slowly, “the duck…”

I tried not to look desperate or grab Raphael’s shirt and tell him to just give me the goddamn footage, because that was what I had in mind if this persisted. “So, Sal,” Raphael said, shifting in his seat like he was finally getting down to something real. “Do you guys still have that snake crawling around your estate?” He was stalling. I could hear it in his voice. I forced a laugh, leaned back in my chair, and shook my head. “Yeah. It scared the hell out of Miguel the other day. Do you have any pets, Raph?” He smirked. “Yes, a stray cat. She keeps me company.”

I knew immediately it was Raphael. "Yes. I made an agreement with Alpha Levi." The hall trembled. Roosevelt asked, "Where did you get your dragon from?" Raphael chuckled. "The same place you got yours from." Roosevelt's voice hardened. "What did you sacrifice to get a dragon that powerful?" Raphael answered calmly, "I didn't sacrifice anything. I simply did what had to be done." He continued, "Unlike you, I didn't need my dragon urgently. I trained him. I watched over his egg. I watched him grow. Glacier is not like Shadow Scale, who was simply handed to you after he matured."
