The Reaver Chronicles: The Keepers (Book 5) Chapter 25
Chapter 25“Rayne and Alpha Drake saved us a few tables upstairs. Nico and Amethyst are up there with them as well, let’s head up there and get some food ordered while we wait for the crowd.” Raziel said, and then he turned and headed up the stairs. Raphael handed Topaz some champagne and they followed him up there, leaving me with Rowen. “Ambrosia, doll, why don’t you head up there as well. I need to speak to my brother for a moment.” Rowen said to her softly. She nodded her head, then turned, grabbing some of the champagne too, and followed behind Raphael. “How are you holding up?” Rowen asked me. I just took a breath in and exhaled slowly. “I don’t know, brother.” I said, putting my head down. Rowen put his hand on my shoulder. “No one ever said you had to be strong through this. We understand, and we are here for you, man.” Rowen said. I looked up and locked eyes with my brother. I could see his pain but he was hiding it well, for once. “I know, I just… How am I going to live th
The Reaver Chronicles: The Keepers (Book 5) Chapter 26
Chapter 26We got back to the table and I picked at my plate for a bit when a man I didn't recognize came walking up to our table. He was tall and large in stature. He had obsidian black hair and it was a little longer and straight. He was a Vampire, that much I could tell. “Ah, Rowen, there you are.” The man purred. His voice was like silk, but he exuded power. I could tell he was someone important. Rowen stood from his chair to greet the man. But I could tell my brother wasn’t interested in talking to him, whoever he was. “Lucian, so good of you to come.” Rowen said. “I’m sorry for your loss. Katrina was a lovely Witch. I do wish you had brought her by sometime. I would have loved to have picked her brain.” He said. Rowen just looked at Lucian with a death glare, but didn’t say anything. It had me wondering how Katrina knew this man. Then Lucian looked over at us all at the table. “I see you all are enjoying my pets?” He purred. Ah, so this was the Vampire King, Lucian in the fles
The Reaver Chronicles: The Keepers (Book 5) Chapter 27
Chapter 27We said our goodbyes to Rowen’s brothers and Nico, then materialized home. Rowen was acting a little strange, and I knew Katrina’s death had affected him. He tried to act like it hadn’t. But I knew him, and his actions told me it had, and still was affecting him. We headed upstairs and Rowen started undressing to get in the shower. I followed, and while the hot water washed over us I could see Rowen was deep in thought. “Who was Katrina to you?” I asked him. I decided it was now or never and he may not want to talk about it, but maybe he did want to. Maybe this is what he needed. My question jarred him from his internal banter, and he looked at me. “Hundreds of years ago when Ramses first met Katrina, he came to me and told me that he found the one. I was surprised, thinking my brother, the wanderer, was going to mark someone. But that’s not what he meant. He had found the woman he knew he wanted to spend his life with. The woman who accepted him for who he was. He knew th
The Reaver Chronicles: The Keepers (Book 5) Chapter 28
Chapter 28Rowen was still nestled in my arms when I reached out and for no reason at all, other than I felt the need to, I touched my Box with my free hand. Instantly, I knew exactly what had happened. The feeling of being transported between realms hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt Rowen stirring in my arms as we fell through dimensions. I was discombobulated as we landed on soft purple grasses, but went tumbling from the force. This was different than last time because that time, I blacked out soon after the trip started. I remember the first feeling of being pulled, almost like materializing, but stronger. I vaguely remember a sort of gut wrenching sickness overtaking me but then I blacked out. This time I remained conscious through the entire thing. I was up and on my feet within seconds of realizing what had just happened. I looked over and saw Rowen lying on his back with a pained look on his face. I ran over to him and knelt by his side. “Rowen, hey, are you ok?” I said ca
The Reaver Chronicles: The Keepers (Book 5) Chapter 29
Chapter 29I walked out of the bathroom feeling a lot better and headed to the kitchen. Hilda’s soft voice stopped abruptly when she heard me coming but I didn’t hear Rowen talking at all. I only partially wondered what they were talking about but I had more pressing things on my mind. Rowen looked up at me as I entered and he just started laughing. “What is it with you and the 90’s clothes?” He asked through laughs. I put on a mock offended look and put my hand to my chest to feign offense. “This style is all the rage you know. Look at what Hilda is wearing! This is what we wear here, so you’re going to have to join in eventually.” I said with a smile. Rowen looked at Hilda like it was the first time he was noticing her bright pink shirt and whitewash levis. She even had a scrunchie on her wrist. He just shook his head and laughed. I imagined him in a neon pink suit and just laughed internally about it. “But on a serious note, I need to tell you some things.” I said, and I sat down
The Reaver Chronicles: The Keepers (Book 5) Chapter 30
Chapter 30“So we have a dilemma, the Angels have the amulet back in my realm. All the Keepers are dead now, and their bloodlines must have been wiped because there was no next of kin. No one has come forth to claim the title. All that’s left in ways of security, is me, it would seem.” I said softly, while realizing just how heavy those words sounded. Hilda nodded her head. “I know, child. I trust that you will figure out a way to get the amulet back. Once you do you will appoint another group of Keepers. You need both yourself, and The Keepers to keep our realm safe. I also trust that you will find a way to bring Dominik and Andres back home.” Hilda said. I could see the worry in her eyes. “Of course! I would much rather them be here than in my realm anyways. They are wreaking havoc with us.” I said. She just chuckled. “Those boys.” I couldn’t help but smile when I remembered all the time we spent together. Dominik and I had fallen asleep on that couch right in the living room toge
The Reaver Chronicles: The Keepers (Book 5) Chapter 31
Chapter 31(Dominik)This was taking a hell of a lot longer than I expected it too. The plan was to use the amulet to get outside of Pandora’s Box… Which we did, thanks to me. If I hadn’t had Hilda help me open a vein in Ambrosia for the magic to flow through, she would have died, and we would still be trapped there. She had to be the one to use the amulet, and if she was dead, that wouldn’t work. Plus, The Keepers could retrieve the amulet from our realm easily with some fancy Witchcraft. It wouldn’t have stayed there long had she died. Of course I knew what I was fucking doing, who do you think I am? I didn’t care for the Human, I just cared that someone took Pandora’s place. In all the years we had been trapped inside the Box, nothing ever came through that allowed me to do what I was able to do with Ambrosia... How or why a Human came through was a mystery to me, but I didn’t care. She was still alive when I found her, somehow... It had to be the amulet. That's when I saw it han
The Reaver Chronicles: The Keepers (Book 5) Chapter 32
Chapter 32She took a breath in and looked at me before turning and leaping from the edge. I watched her as she fell, and the exhilaration I felt was next to none. I leapt off the cliff after her. I swooped down, carefully scooping her into my arms towards the bottom. We landed gracefully in calf deep water. She had made eye contact with me while we fell and I wasn't about to break it. I knew how much she loved the thrill, we had spoken about it numerous times. Her living in that pet shop for so long, she was deprived of a lot of things. And for some reason I wanted to be the one to give her everything she wasn't able to have. I set her down gently in the cool water, and to my surprise she stayed where I set her. I promptly removed my arms from around her but she stopped me before I could. She was still looking up at me, and I had just noticed that the bioluminescence was glowing around us. “Thank you, that was amazing.” She said softly, and then we heard a rumble in the trees to th
