The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel

Chapter 5

As if he was forced, he slowly set my mother down and released his fireball hold. I ran to her side as she had already changed back into her human form. She grabbed me, her platinum eyes darker than I have ever seen as her wolf fought to get back out. "Are you ok Rayne?? Did he hurt you?!" She tore her hardened gaze from the Reaver to inspect me and when I looked back he was gone. He saved my life, and I had no idea who he was at the time... "Rayne! Rayne!!!" Winter called out, snapping me out of my memory. We were in my backyard. I looked up at my house, the house I had grown up in since I was 12. And another memory threatened to pop back into my head. I pushed it away, "s**t, Sorry I was lost in an old memory" I said breathlessly as I changed back into my human form and threw on the black sports bra and matching pair of sweatpants I always had stored outside for times like this. I sat cross legged on the grass hoping to get just a minute to myself, the cool breeze flowing through my long silver hair. I knew we wouldn't be here long when I felt Alpha Drake in my mind link. "Rayne, my office, now." he spat, I could practically feel the venom in my veins. Wynter chimed in, "We are so dead" and for the first time I agreed. After disobeying Alpha Drake, I wasn't sure we would make it out alive, most don't. 

When we got to the pack house which was situated in the middle of town, two of our pack guards motioned for me to go inside. They looked alike in size and stature, large builds, one with dark hair the other with light, both with multiple scars and tattoos, I could tell they were warriors. Most of our pack looked like this, which made them so scary. The Obsidian pack was known for their no mercy attitudes, we were taught this from day one. I shuddered as the thought of crossing one of them made its way through my mind. "Hard pass" Wynter snickered. I made my way down the hallway, admiring the photos of the previous Alphas and the warrior memorabilia on my way to Alpha Drakes office, Wynter started trembling as we neared closer. I stood outside the door and waited to be called in. No one ever just went into Alpha Drakes office, that was a death sentence in itself. "You may enter" he snarled. Wynter started to whimper, I wasn't about to show weakness, I wouldn't give Alpha Drake the pleasure, I put on my strongest face and walked inside ready for whatever was coming next. 

Alpha Drake was facing me in his chair, fingers intertwined, his dark blue ocean eyes darker than I have ever seen them, colors swirling like the waves in the deep. "Where were you today?" He said. I almost thought I heard worry in his voice, but was proven wrong when I didn't answer him fast enough and he stood from his chair and slammed his hand down on the desk causing me to flinch and Wynter to let out a yip. "I will not ask you again, Rayne." This time the venom in his voice was deadly. "I was trying to blow off some steam Alpha" I stuttered, hoping it would suffice. It didn't, I could see his face harden as he knew my answer was bullshit but there was no way I was telling him what happened with Mr. Kane and Eric. I couldn't even gather the words if I wanted to. Wynter was screaming to just tell the truth and I pushed her out of my mind just as  Alpha Drake closed the gap between us. He snarled as he grabbed my arm and drug me through the pack house to outside. "You want to blow off steam? Let's blow off steam." He roared.
