Is Reaper In Werewolf By Night A Hero Or Antihero?

She was discarded like a tool after being drained dry, yet became the only mate of a tyrant Lycan king. Lyra's newborn son was taken from her by her Alpha husband and given to his mistress to be raised as their heir, while she herself was accused of infidelity. Falsely accused, condemned to die, she lay in a pool of her own blood waiting for the end—when she heard a voice. “Let her go.” Kael Ashvorn, the tyrant known as the Reaper, pulled her from the pile of corpses and marked her in front of everyone. His hands were stained with blood. Everyone said the Moon Goddess had cursed him, that he would never be given a fated mate or an heir. Until he caught her scent. Her second chance was the most dangerous man alive. His only mate who could bear him a child—was a woman already broken. Was he the Reaper—or her only chance to survive?

In a world where werewolves rule from the shadows, Rhett Blackwood is king. To hold his empire, he must forge a blood bond with a ruthless assassin who would rather kill him than kneel. But when one act of violence awakens a bond written in fate — and blood — they are thrown into a brutal war where love may be their only weapon… and their greatest curse.

I used to kill for the joy of it, and she would have killed to stop people like me. I lost my first mate through a wicked twist of fate. Now, I run the risk of losing my second chance mate as fate makes an enemy of me once again. I foolishly believed Adriana was my reward for leaving the life I lived before her behind, my means of coming out of the darkness and embracing a life of light. I was wrong. Among wolves, penitence will never be enough. The only way to atone for the blood I’ve spilled is through more bloodshed, and there are a whole lot of angry Alphas after mine at the moment. Adriana wants to stand by me and fight my battles, but I would rather die than have her fight for my misdeeds. What she deserves is a hero, a morally conscious man who can save the world, but what she got was me instead: a selfish, exiled Alpha who would bleed the world dry to protect her. Even if it means losing my own salvation along the way. ***This is the 3rd book in the Alpha's Guardian Series. Liam and Adriana. This can be read on its own or you can read the first two books to get more history about the Main Characters.

I’m trained to do one thing: kill. I was put into a school where the concepts of love and forgiveness were treated as weaknesses. When I graduated, they told me I’d be lucky to survive; now I’m the best of the best and the person who gets the job done no matter what. I’ve assassinated Presidents, housewives, Navy SEALS and more shifters than I can count. I have more kills than anyone in my business, so when a new order comes in to kill Alpha Gideon, I take it without a second thought. ​He’s a job like any other, but during my scouting, I see something I’ve never seen before. Alpha Gideon isn’t a tyrant or a bully; he’s kind to his Pack. I start asking questions, which is when everything goes to shit. My signal is found, and for the first time in my life, my target has me in his sights. I expect pain and maybe even death, but Alpha Gideon treats me like a welcomed guest; his warmth and kindness open up something inside of me that I didn’t know I had. I should kill him before he changes me completely. I tell him I’m cold and heartless, and he laughs. Loving a mark has never been done, but no matter what I do, every touch sets me on fire and with each longing glance, my past becomes a distant memory. I’m ready to put everything I was aside to stay with Alpha Gideon when the call comes in; my fellow assassins have been called. The bounty on Alpha Gideon has been doubled. I have two choices: protect the man who has opened up my heart or kill the target and get the job done.

But Kael was never meant to return. His resurrection cracks the boundary between the mortal and the celestial realm, marking Lyra as the Moon’s Reaper — destined to kill the Alpha she loves when dawn rises on the seventh eclipse.
