Octavius
I pace the huge library and struggle to ignore the thoughts running through my mind. Yes, we had a deal- I had some privacy with her, and now it's Kieran's turn.
But even if so, why do I feel like it's unfair that there's the time taken away from me, the time I might be spending with Ocean now.
Yet, I can't shake off the feeling about Ocean with Kieran. Even if my brother is too dumb to notice or admit their connection, they share something special. The same goes for Ocean- she displays fear for his short temper, yet the affection is there.
Sometimes I feel as if she's staring at that weirdo as if he's the centre of her universe. Kieran is everything but that. I hope so.

Just the way she fits in my arms is mind-blowing, but her tiny frame on my black sheets nearly makes me feel like my heart's still beating.For decades, I thought a monster like me wouldn't meet someone who accepts everything- the good and the bad, but
OceanThe moment Kieran releases my neck, I hide my face against his chest as Octavius screams at the top of his lungs. "What the fuck? What the actual fuck, Kieran?"As far as I can tell, Octavius isn't moving from his spot, and thank God, Kieran is quick to grab a sheet and cover me up.Have I made a mistake? If so, why don't I feel any remorse? Why don't I feel like I've done something wrong, shameless, and out of line? If anything, I feel a little sore and stupidly happy.They both raise their voices, Kieran's grip on me tightens, but I can't catch on to anything they say. My heart hammers against my ribcage with such force that it reaches my ears and muffles the commotion around me.
OctaviusAlright, I may have overreacted. There were a few things I shouldn't have said and done. There are some things I should have overlooked and reacted to differently, but I still can't believe it.I can't believe he did it! That crazy son of a bitch!Of all the Elite vampires, Kieran was the last one I thought would betray me. The whole system is full of corrupt fuckers, but the one who stood the closest to me had to be the one who turned his back on me. After all I did for him. Because of him. For us.It's not about what he did to Ocean anymore. I wouldn't give a shit if he fucked her or claimed her if it wasn't for that damn house collar. We owned her, both of us, together, but he had to stab me in
Ocean"The auction. Kieran is Tank, he..."The words keep repeating in my mind over and over again. All I see is complete darkness that seems to have no end. No matter how hard I look for a corner to hide in, there is none. To make matters worse, I have the eerie feeling that I'm not alone here. Someone is watching me; his eyes follow every move I make.I try to reach out my hand as if someone would take it and help me get out of here, but my limbs don't move."Hello?" I manage to call out, yet my voice sounds strange. It's not me speaking; it's someone else.Suddenly I watch myself from the side. Something powerful is hovering over my body, and once again, I can't move to h
Kieran"How long has it been?" Wasp, apparently my new partner, speaks up and hands me the rest of the weapons.It's not that I don't like the new guy; I just don't trust him yet. Working with my brother was easy. We moved together like a well-oiled machine, capable of predicting each other's movements.It's always a strange feeling to get a new partner, especially when you meet him for the first time.I understand why the Elite took action and separated me from Octavius, but our disagreements wouldn't affect the quality of the work we're supposed to do. If there's one thing we never argue about, it's assignments.Besides, Octavius is far too good to work with beginners.&nbs
OctaviusWhen was the last time I faced my brother? How long ago was that? A couple of days? Maybe a few weeks? Or months?I don't mean the time we looked at each other or smiled. I couldn't care less about our last fight if only Kieran was here.I don't remember his smile. We spent centuries side by side. All he had to do was disappear, and I forgot his most beautiful feature.While I'm lost in my thoughts, one of the maids quietly invites herself into my office and reaches for the empty bottles scattered across the floor.The alcohol can't numb me, but I still can't stop drinking.As I wa
Alpha GillianI stand at the cell door and watch the man covered in blood. He looks all but everything I've ever imagined one of the Elite freaks to look. The determination, the strength and the hatred that burns in his eyes are so intense that my heart might stop unless I turn my attention back to my Beta. So I do, a cowardly move, but I tear my gaze away from the savage and focus on Adrian. "Are you sure he's a leech?" The question crosses my lips before I can think about starting this conversation here, in front of the one person who might be a tad more dangerous than we've been told. No, fuck it, it's not that he might be; he fucking is. Whoever created him must have hated all of humanity and every supernatural being I can think of. I don't give a shit what his name is; I'll even dismiss the code name Tank because though he truly is as massive and dangerous as a machine created for war and destruction. All I can think of when I look at him is karma. He is the embodiment of the o
Octavius I have no idea how long it took for Ocean to calm down. All I could do was hold her and whisper sweet nothings until she fell asleep. However, the slumber didn't last long. Ocean woke up screaming, crying, and clung to me for her dear life. Whatever had happened in the bedroom was becoming her worst nightmare, and no matter what I did, I couldn't help her deal with it. If Kieran were around, I'd lose my hands and head just because I tried to comfort Ocean. It's been a few hours since Ocean woke up from the nightmare. I dragged her into the living room, lit the fire in the fireplace and sent the servants upstairs to clean up the mess. "W-what's happening to me, Octavius?" She stutters, pulling her knees to her chest. I never thought I could feel actual pain while watching someone suffer. If anything, I intended to do so many terrible things to this woman that even the Devil himself would pale in comparison to what I've done. Yet, at this point, seeing her so weak and b
