Ocean
I open my mouth and immediately close it. "Watch them," Octavius whispers, pressing my body against the glass dome. The robe I'm wearing fits too loosely for my liking, threatening to reveal my naked body at any moment.
I take a deep breath and let my gaze fall on the vampires in the arena. Obviously, I've missed a few steps in their game by now; they're both on the ground, wrestling against each other. They're not using too much strength; it's visible even fr

OceanAs soon as I enter my bedroom, I lock the door. Not that it's a sufficient obstacle if one of the brothers really wanted to see me, but it didn't hurt to try.Right now, I'm not worried about Kieran's resemblance to Vladimir; Octavius is the one who worries and scares me. It's clear as day that he's a grown man who tried to stop me, he warned me, but I didn't bother to listen. Why did I have to be so stupid and force myself on him like that? "Think, Ocean, maybe you can find a way out of here. Vladimir's collar doesn't work anymore; that shouldn't be a problem. But what about your friends? The brothers know how important the girls are; they could use them against you as your weakness. Damn it!" I walk around the room while talking to myself. Some might say I'm weird, but sometimes my voice calms me down and builds an illusion that I'm not alone. My eyes sca

OceanThe next time I see Ada is when I'm supposed to get ready for dinner with the brothers. I smile at the girl, but her saddened expression makes me feel sorry for her. "Are you in trouble? Is it because of me?" I ask, strolling towards her. Thankfully, she doesn't look hurt, and there's no visible damage to her skin. After the nap I took during the day, it wasn't that hard to stand on my feet anymore, so I suppose my body regained its strength faster than expected."No, I'm not in trouble, Ocean, and even if I were, it couldn't be your fault. I ignored my master's order, and that's the only thing that upsets me. I guess it's just that I haven't met another human in years, and I was a little too excited to stay around you. I'm sure there won't be any more problems; I'll try to be on my best behaviour." She grins, silently promising me that her words are nothing but lies. I'm sure the little hothead will be around me more than she's
The Reaper's sons   History lesson.
OceanI turn and look at Octavius. If anything, I don't expect to see him near me so soon. Clearly, he's done everything he can to avoid me-skipping dinner is the first proof. There's a lot of emotion hidden in his eyes, but I can't read them. Just as I try to catch a glimpse of the vampire's emotions, Octavius clears his throat and takes the floor. "And that's exactly what makes me question your loyalty. Not that I expect much from a human in the first place, but I suppose I've convinced myself that you're better than the rest of your species." There's so much hate in his words, I'm surprised I didn't gasp out loud. I expected a lot of things, but none of them came close to what he said.Engaging myself in a heated discussion with one of the brothers is a terrible idea. Not that my smart mouth would ever al
The Reaper's sons   The Vandyke ceremony.
OceanI stand before the full-length mirror and wonder if I will ever see the spark in my eyes. Humans are told to have one when they feel happy, but I guess happiness is an emotion that never managed to reach me. All I can do is sigh and count the seconds until one of the brothers or maids beckons me to follow them. I don't want to wear another collar, and if I only had a chance, I'd run as far away as I could. As long as Vladimir was my owner, I never knew what would come next, and in time I found peace in the darkness and in everything he called terror. It's easier to endure torture than to live with the thought of becoming a slave. Stupidly, part of me hopes Octavius and Kieran will change their minds- there are so many women out there who would die to become their wives or slaves. But why me? A tear escapes my eye, and I waste no time in wiping it away. I may feel defeated, but I won't give t
The Reaper's sons   We had a deal.
Octavius I enter my office, close the door, and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. As a vampire, I don't need to breathe to survive, but it's one of the few habits I still have from my time as a human. I lock the door and slowly walk towards the window. It's getting late, the Elite will be arriving shortly, and the guards will bring the rest of the humans with them. I didn't want things to escalate like this, and I didn't plan on the argument in the dining room either. I wanted to see her, but the whole encounter between Ocean and that servant left me speechless. When she willingly handed over her life to the servant, the look on her face will forever be etched in my memory. She has no idea how much she means to my brother and me, even if he'd never admit it. I look up at the sky, wondering how the ceremony will end and if Ocean will hate us even more tha
The Reaper's sons   I don't want to be loved by you.
KieranAs soon as the ceremony is over, we separate Ocean from her friends. As a human, she has no idea how our society works, let alone the smallest laws we must follow. Collared humans must return home no later than midnight, except on ceremonial nights. But as soon as the official part is over, they must leave. Ocean stays here, and the other women go back to the club. I knew she'd be mad at us, not that I care half as much about her tantrums as Octavius does. The dimwit brother runs after Ocean as soon as she walks up the stairs. Obviously, he'll do anything to endear himself to her, especially after the decision he made. Not that Octavius would ever tell her that; after all, he's going to make me the bad guy. And honestly, I don't mind.As I close the door behind the last guest, I want to collapse on the floor and think of an idea to explain everything. The collar
The Reaper's sons   I am a slave.
OceanThe tension in the house seems much worse than before Kieran left. He hasn't bothered to warn his brother or me, not that he would ever consider my existence important enough. Most of the time, Octavius works more and locks himself in the office, so I don't see him as much either. However, the tension is more of the pressure that comes from everyone working in this house. Every time I leave my room, the servants and maids speak a little louder so I can hear them. I never liked snooping before, but now they make it impossible for me not to listen to what they say. The things they say are demeaning and harsh at the same time. Some constantly talk about all the things they hate about me or my looks. A few women love to point out that I am nothing more than their master's next meal or whore. And then comes the finger-pointing. They take every opportunity to blame me for Kieran's sudden disappearance. Because of

KieranIf 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

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
The Reaper's sons   He was in love with someone else.
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
The Reaper's sons   Coming, definitely coming.
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
The Reaper's sons   The only man who gets to taste you.
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
The Reaper's sons   How much I missed you.
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
The Reaper's sons   Not my mate.
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
The Reaper's sons   May the Goddess lead you.
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
The Reaper's sons   I am the weapon.
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
The Reaper's sons   One word- Kieran.
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
