We believe it is for the best to tell her.
Octavius
When 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.

The Reaper's sons A little bit too alive.
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
The Reaper's sons You're a coward.
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
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
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 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 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 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 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
