The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel - The Reaver Chronicles Independently Published

I glanced over at the lifeless body of my boyfriend Eric, turning my head only as much as I dared. I felt the tears welling up in the back of my eyes and pushed them back, I felt my face going numb as I let out a breath I wasn't aware I was holding, trying to comprehend what had just happened. I could still hear the music from the party downstairs booming, they must not have heard anything. I flinched as Mr. Kane suddenly closed the gap between us with an unnatural speed and took my chin in his hand forcing me to look directly Into his burning golden eyes, "No one may take your innocence but me" he purred, licking the blood off his elongated fangs. A single tear fell down my cheek as I fought like hell to push back the flood that had been brewing. No fucking way was I going to show weakness, not here, not now, never in front of him. I broke eye contact, trying to look anywhere else and I could feel Wynter trying to push her way back through, "I'm so-", I started to say, but Mr. Kane put his finger to my lips. "Do not apologize Rayne" he said with almost a sadness to his voice, then his face hardened, "do not disobey me again" he spat with venom in his words. Every hair on the back of my Neck stood up when I locked back onto his golden eyes which looked a lot darker than they just did... And that terrified me even worse. I fought to keep my body from shaking, "yes Mr. Kane" I said, "Good Girl, Rayne". My name rolled off his tongue like liquid gold.
