I don't want to be loved by you.
Kieran
As 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

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
The Reaper's sons OUR property, brother.
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 Reaper's sons Is it jealousy that I feel?
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
The Reaper's sons Please, choose me.
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
The Reaper's sons We have some unfinished business.
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
