Ah Yes Reapers Novels & Stories

Anastasiya Van Houten A yelp escaped my lips as I was tossed onto the hard, unforgiving earth. I could barely see anything with blinding lights flashing directly into my eyes from different directions. The only thing I could hear was a roaring almost trickling sound in the background. I thought I was alone for a moment, until a voice—a rich, dark baritone—cut through the chaos. “You must be Anastasiya, Nice to meet you. I’m Malcom Reece”

As for our parents, Well, that’s a problem for another day. Lifting the phone to my ear, I make a call. He answers right away. “What do you want, Savage?” Gideon, aka Reaper, asks with a snarky tone. “Well, hello to you too, Reaper. Do you have a few moments to talk?” Reaper responds right away. “I have the time right now. Jade is making lunch. So you better get your ass over here before it’s all gone.”

I promised them but Jasper merely chuckled as he wrapped his arms around Aria and placed a kiss on her lips. "I'm sorry I'm late," he told Aria casually as though he was late to a meeting or some occasion. "You sure do know how to make an entrance," Nora growled and Jasper turned to her. "Allow us to reintroduce ourselves," Jasper said as he shuffled forward with Aria in his arms. "I'm Jasper, the head of the werewolf hunters." He announced as he offered us a mock now and my blood ran cold as I heard Nora gasp beside me. "And I'm Aria, the rogue king," Aria announced and my blood boiled within me as I scanned my brain, wondering how best to end their lives.

"The machines realized the power spike came from here. They’re sending a 'Maintenance Crew' to fix the leak." She looked back at us, her expression grim. "And they don't use drones for maintenance. They use the **Reaped**." "Who are the Reaped?" Rowan asked. "The people who didn't survive the de-compiler," she said. "The ones who lost their souls to the simulation. They’re coming to put you back in your boxes." A sound echoed from the sky—a long, low horn that sounded like the Earth itself was crying.

He signaled for him to come over. Upon hearing that, Nina halted her movements. Her hand had frozen mid-wipe. "Isn't Calvin supposed to be the heir to Prosperous Group? Why is the heir turned into someone who goes by the last name Smith?" It was many people's first time seeing him, but they could tell that the future heir to Prosperous Group had an undeniable, commanding presence. Callum's youthful appearance belied the maturity and authority in his demeanor. I turned a deaf ear to Nina and looked around the room, noting that Calvin was still nowhere to be seen. It seemed like the show was about to kick off.

Thalyx said as he laughed. "I can't go back to the Beast Nation, and I can't go back to you. It's utterly pointless. Let's elope to the ends of the earth and go to a place where no one can find us. Or how about you die with me? Maybe we can be reborn again after we die. Maybe we can love each other again in our next life." He leaned his head into the crook of my neck, and his icy body made me shudder. Just as his sharp blade was about to touch my chest, I abruptly pushed him away, pulled out the sharp dagger from my sleeve, and stabbed Thalyx in the neck. Blood splattered all over my face, and Thalyx's expression visibly twisted.

I demanded, heart racing. She hesitated. Then she said it. “The Reaper.” Ryan went still. Liv’s jaw dropped. “What?” I said. “The Reaper,” she repeated. “They’re some anonymous account. Posts clips. Ratings. Like a fucking p**n Yelp. Said tonight was gonna be a live drop.” My skin went cold. We hadn’t been luring one person. We’d been luring an audience.

No names on this job, only call signs. We have Reaper, Ghost, Shade, Viper and me, Blade. They were the best the clan ever trained, monsters I’d bled beside before I ever wore a professor’s jacket. Each one carried the feather scar somewhere on their body, each one owed Old Might their soul. But tonight they answered to me. Reaper, he's tall, shaved head, and his voice sounded like gravel. He was the first to speak. “Package count?”
