The Vandyke ceremony.
Ocean
I 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

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

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

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

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
