The Reaver Chronicles: Raphael (Book 2)
Vampires, I had always regarded them as the purveyors of darkness and fear, their existence frightful legends. That is until I almost lost my life to one, but he saved me... the Reaver Raphael. He's Supernatural and I'm Human, but the more I learn, the more I am inexorably pulled towards him. He inspires dread, a feeling that threatens to overwhelm my very being. And yet, I find myself drawn to him, like a moth to the flame. I know that he is capable of taking life without provocation or remorse. I am also cognizant of the fact that his fellow creatures of the night regard him with a certain... trepidation, and when he chooses to speak, everyone listens. He causes intense palpitations in my chest when he's near, and yet, I am aware that I must exercise caution, for I have learned that a Reavers charm is designed entice. He exerts a pull on me... a subtle yet irresistible force that draws me in, despite my better judgment. I know I should flee. I want to flee, but I can never bring myself to follow through. It would seem that I am drawn to the thrill of the unknown, and the mystery that surrounds him only heightens my fascination. The thrill of courting danger has never been more exhilarating. But it was not until I awoke in a foreboding place, surrounded by creatures that defy the natural order, that the gravity of my situation truly struck me. I had become the helpless maiden used as leverage to manipulate the hero. And in that moment, I regretted ever pursuing the man in the silver suit who courts me in the diner. I've devoured enough tales of love and loss to know that love is often a man's greatest weakness. Could I be Raphael's Achilles' heel, the weakness that ultimately proves his undoing? Or will our love become the catalyst that destroys us both?
