Kieran
If I didn't leave a few things behind, I wouldn't run into Ocean and Octavius at breakfast. I'm not surprised - they are close, have been since day one. But the huge bruise that's formed on her face makes me lose whatever composure I have in me. "Who the fuck did this to you?" The words leave me before I register what I have said. I don't notice as I rush to Ocean's side, hold her chin in my hand and force her to look up at me. My blood boils; whoever did this to her will pay the highest price possible. I don't tolerate abuse in my household, especially not when it comes to someone I own. Hell, I wouldn't tolerate someone breaking something I worked my ass off for. I wait a minute, maybe two, but she continues to stare at me as if she's seen a ghost, and no answer comes. So I exhale to seem calmer and repeat myself. "Who did this?" For a split second, I notice her take a quick glance at my brother, and some
Octavius Ocean's laughter echoes off the walls of the dining room until she notices the look on Kieran's face. His face doesn't change, except for that barely noticeable moment when he registers how much he's said. I keep glancing back and forth between them, trying to understand if he's joking or not. "How..." Ocean whispers as her hand meets mine. She holds onto my hand as if her life depended on our closeness. Not that I'm complaining about her need for physical contact, but I wish that need would occur under different circumstances. I watch as Kieran stands up and shrugs. To be honest, he doesn't seem to care much about explaining himself. Still, out of what I assume is a tiny spark of respect, he tries to speak up. "Well, since I'm the..." His efforts aren't well-r

I need a shower, ice-cold, and a set of new clothes. All I wanted was to reach a point where none of the vampires could hold anything against me. For some strange reason, they like it when the servants address them as Master, but they freak out when I do the same. Can they get any weirder, or is it just me that's confused about ev

Sure, that may be my fault, but there's one thing she can't hide- the desire for me. I love to hear and feel her heart pounding against her chest. The sharp breaths she keeps taking in are another proof of how much my touch is affecting her.In the mirror room, I tasted her lips and could think of nothing but the kiss. Entering the arena with t
OceanIt takes me quite a while to be ready to leave the room and face the world. Most of all, I dread running into Octavius. Kieran left a few minutes ago, and I don't release my hands until I have a feeling he won't be back. To buy more time for myself, I take a shower. That's not the only reason I need the water-I need to get rid of the blush on my cheeks and the juices dripping from between my legs. Kieran has left me hanging. Not that this is the first time, but I'm going to get back at him. Sooner or later, I will.The two brothers seem to have a somewhat strained relationship and don't know how to share, even though they both claim to share everything. Life under their roof is confusing- one is always trying to overpower the other, and I feel a lot of that on myself.I
OctaviusMeeting Lily has never been part of my plans. Most days, I stay indoors unless I absolutely have to leave the mansion. It's pretty hard to avoid some vampires since we all live under the dome, and I know very few who actually leave the city. Kieran is out; I know that for a fact. I take one look at Ocean and smile. She's seething with jealousy, and I'm all here for that. So much for the strong-minded human who couldn't fall in love with a vampire even if her life depended on it. I'm heading straight down to Hell, and I'm taking her with me.I look ahead as we walk down the busy streets. It doesn't matter who looks at me or tries to speak. Ocean, however, doesn't seem nearly as comfortable as I do. Her eyes dart to every other person who gives us looks. Of course, it's not like we could expect a different reaction. Humans aren't our friends, and a
Ocean I don't think things have been the same since Octavius took me to his favourite place and opened up to me. I never thought a vampire could be as passionate and soulful as he is. All these years, I have felt nothing but hatred for the whole species, but Octavius is slowly proving to me that maybe I shouldn't see it that way. Besides, there's still a big question mark behind Kieran. If the Elite group arrived today and asked me the question Octavius dreads, I don't think I'd have the answer ready. Certainly, my choice leans more towards Octavius, but for some reason, I can't stop thinking about his brother. Something about the mysterious and aggressively dominant Kieran makes it hard to act like there's nothing drawing us to each other. I stare out the window and wonder if my life could be better if I tried to pretend that everything happens as it
KieranHer heart pounds against her ribcage at such speed, I can hear it. I wonder how Octavius would react if the fucker knew I went behind his back and took Ocean to the Arena. I don't intend to fuck her right away, but I do enjoy the game. I might enjoy the game more than the prize that comes afterwards, but that's not as important."W-what kind of bet?" Ocean stutters. Her question brings a smile to my lips- she's on the hook; I managed to catch her attention, and it's all I needed.I clear my throat. "I'll give you a decent head start, and you run. If I find you within ten minutes, which is way less time I give any of my toys, you'll do something for me," I don't want to reveal all my cards from the start. Leaving some secrets and suspense always pays off as so much better outcom
OceanI hate to admit this, but there's something about Kieran and his ways. I mean, I admit that it's been both terrifying and exciting to stand around him, and the things he shows me seem like something out of this world.For years, I couldn't understand the importance and pleasure that comes with intimacy, but this vampire is making those thoughts fade. As rough around the edges as Kieran is, he's opening my eyes to so much more than the life of a slave.However, now that I face him, I can't swallow the lump forming in my throat. Kieran's predatory gaze takes me in, from head to toes, as if I'm the only trophy he wants.Gulping, I give up fighting and let my body slide down the enormous tree. My eyes travel up his body, in
OctaviusWho the fuck does this man think he is? Isn’t it enough that his stupid presence affects me? I have no idea what’s happening to me, but I’m seriously turned on just by looking at his face. I hate myself for liking him. Alright, maybe liking is a little too harsh, but there’s definitely some attraction I feel towards him. But he’s a darn dog! I can’t look at the dog and find him tempting and sexually attractive. I hate that I almost fell for his games and words. One moment he comes here to talk; then, he demands me to address him by a specific role, and now, he’s pushing all that information on my shoulders. Like fuck I care about anything he wants. On top of everything else, he manages to say the right things and the right time, and it pisses me off even more. I’m an ancient vampire, a part of vampire’s Elite – a higher being who isn’t supposed to be tied to a dog. I belong with other vampires, the same as this guy belongs with his own species. I don’t care about the m
OceanAs vile, brutal and caveman-like Kieran sometimes is, he remains to be a man of his word. Once we caught our breaths and the reality finally hit me, a deep sense of shame filled me. Kieran stood aside and watched how his seed slowly slid down my legs, just like he intended to do, while we could still hear moans and the ruffling of dry leaves around us. Once he satisfied his need to ensure he had claimed me, he helped me to clean up, we used a chance to have a quick dip in the lake, and afterwards, he helped me get dressed. Kieran grabbed my hand and still refuses to release me as we leave the place and walk back to the camp. We don’t talk, both of us have enough on our minds, and quite frankly, it’s easier to ignore the moans and grunts that surround us if we can focus on our thoughts. By the time we get back to the camp, the first thing I notice is the sulking Alpha, walking around and growling at everyone who tries to approach him. “Octavius,” both Kieran and I grunt at
KieranI hope my brother will understand how much he needs the werewolf Alpha and how much the Alpha needs him. It’s irrelevant to me; at this point, but I want to see both of them happy. Just as happy as I am now when I have Ocean back where she belongs - in my arms. She keeps giggling and playfully slapping my back while the men in the camp whistle and call out some encouraging words for me to “get it good.” Never, in a million years, would I think I’d ever find a common ground with wolves, but here I am, carrying my woman and grinning like a fool at the remarks. I feel like I’m their brother, and they’re my closest family. For once, I feel like I fit in. “You should stop wiggling unless you want me to drop you,” I slap Ocean’s ass as a warning. She knows I wouldn’t drop her, but some teasing never hurt anyone. Besides, it’s been quite a while since we last met and held each other, so I’m set on enjoying whatever time we get to spend together. And now, my main priority is to pr
Alpha GillianHow? Just how can a blood-sucking murderer be this enchanting?Could it be part of his predator nature? To make his victims fall for him from the moment they meet so that he can lure them into the vicious claws of death before they notice the danger nearing them?Whichever it is, all I know is that I’m absolutely smitten by the dangerously beautiful creature before my eyes.The moment Kieran tossed his woman over his shoulder and carried her away to mate, I wanted the same thing. I want to feel his smooth, cold skin beneath my fingertips. I want to hear his moans and lose myself in the sounds of pleasure this man would emit because of me. Only me. Yet, as soon as I get inside the vampire’s tent and notice him crawling up in the furthest corner, I remember the vast difference between our species. While I walk under the sun with ease, my lovely mate fears the massive star for how deadly it is to those like him. Carefully, I zip the tent closed and try my best to hide th
OceanOctavius is sorry? For what? I can't blame him for many things since all of us were stuck in an unfair environment. He's a vampire, and he stood above me, but unlike other blood-sucking maniacs, he didn't treat me like the dirt under his feet.I get a feeling that there is more to his words than I think. Whatever bothers him has to be something he deems wrong and possibly some things I didn't notice him doing to begin with. "I assume it's better if I let you talk," I whisper, still a bit unsure if I'm making the right decision or not. Octavius flashes me a sad smile and nods. "Yeah, that would be better. If you have any questions, you can ask them, but first, please let me explain." He appears all sorts of uncomfortable as his eyes dart everywhere but at me. Following his words, I smile and nod. Right now, I have no questions to ask anyway, so there's no point in me speaking up. "I lied," Octavius breathes out. "Or at least, partly," he quickly adds. I raise an eyebrow i
OctaviusMy life just became a bigger mess than I could think it to be. First, the attack on the city, then Ocean's disappearance, and now this?No, the Gods or whatever chooses shit for us has to be shitting me. No way in hell would I ever think of a possibility as such. The things happened too fast for me to grasp them. Here I am, thinking of ways to defend the home I built with my brother, when a massive, stinky dog man invades my personal space. In all honesty, the first thing I thought of was if I have any dog food around, for whatever reasons, but this thing had to be starving and looking for food if it's desperate enough to cross the walls of the Invictus. But then, it starts sniffing me and wraps its arms around me. He can't blame me for my fight or flight response. A dirty animal like that can't touch me. Not only am I a magnificent ancient creature, but also, consent- has he heard of it?When I finally managed to push him away, the monster looked hurt and started mutterin
KieranWe blow up one of the walls without resistance from the guards. No one is guarding the necessary posts, and the city looks a little more dead than it usually does. I know how the Elite sends out their guards to ensure both the safety of the city and the obedience of humans, but today, there are none, as if they're expecting us. I turn to the Alpha and tilt my head towards the empty street. "Is it possible that someone among your people could have warned the Elite?" I ask and instantly understand my mistake. To fix it, I glance over my shoulder and face the men who followed their Alpha. "I'm not talking about warriors; it's more believable that someone with information about pack plans could have sold them to the vampires." "Rodrigo," one of the warriors snarls the name as if it makes him sick. I raise an eyebrow but don't talk, aware he will explain. "There's this guy, Rodrigo; he knows everything about our plans and draws up the maps for us. I know he has some money shit goi
KieranWhat they did for me, I'll never forget it. It doesn't matter that we're supposed to be enemies or that the Elite fed me such information. Werewolves aren't half as bad as we've been told. In fact, I dare to say they are more human than the vampires among whom I've spent far too many miserable centuries. The same vampires who sent me on a mission to die. The same men and women who promised me their unending trust and support. The same damned vampires who claimed to be my family. They forgot all that for nothing, a stupid game of power, wealth and name. No, fuck it, I'll be damned if I'll ever think of those sly creatures as anything but a bunch of traitors. All I can do is hope Octavius isn't part of the grand scheme against me because he'd be the only one I'd feel hurt to lose. He stood by my side through thick and thin, he has always had my back the same as I had his, and we managed to grow as a family- as brothers. It'd fucking suck to have my own brother plunge the k
OceanThe only thing I wanted was to lie down and let my mind process the information. My life changed from zero to fuck me in a matter of hours. First, it was Kieran's sudden disappearance after the Elite sent him on another mission, then the woman I murdered, and as a cherry on top of that cake of insanity- I turned out to be something I've hated and the partial reason for my suffering is the man who claimed me as his.How more messed up can someone's life get than this? And how am I supposed to casually think about these facts, process them, and come to terms with what my life has become?It'd be so much easier if Vladimir still were my owner. Yes, I hated the abuse and that he kept treating me like a piece of shit, but life was what it was for me; nothing really changed. Back then, I didn't think of myself as special or unique; I was just me, Ocean, the enslaved human. All I had to do was follow the orders and complete the tasks Vladimir gave me. But today, I'm not even a human
