Gavin Reed Detroit: Become Human の小説・ストーリー

So far, it has not been effective - Reed lived his life promiscuously, fighting in and out of the ring, against humans and vampires alike. Vexed by the sudden request to find a mate, Reed took his red convertible and drove into town. As soon as his vehicle hit the main streets, heads were turned, admiring his beauty and status. Some of them were oblivious of his true identity, while others, who have encountered him before, knew that he was the Prince of Darkness. Reed dressed like a high profile socialite, with tailored suits and leather shoes. Vampires had the ability to communicate with one another through telepathy or mind link, but only a handful of vampires were able to read human minds

The employee is crying with pain. "Please boss, please. Don't kill me. I swear I will not speak about this with anyone" he begged miserably. "Tsk tsk, how sad. I know you will not speak about this with anyone because your life is going to end tonight" Reed declared and chopped the thumb finger of the left hand. "Please, stop this. Please" that employee begged. But Reed is not having any kind of effect on him seeing at how that cheater is begging. Reed especially detests cheaters and backstabbers. It is because of one such man that he lost his family in one night.

I keep my voice completely level. “I need the location and the passcode. Give me those, and you walk out of here. Same deal as the warehouse—safe passage, a new identity, a complete disappearance. We guarantee absolute distance. A clean slate. Logan Reeves ceases to exist.” Logan looks up from Gale’s body. The vacancy in his expression shatters, replaced by a low, scraping sound that claws its way out of his throat. It is a laugh completely devoid of sanity—broken, hollow, and utterly psychopathic.

Two years ago, my best friend and loyal beta, Liam, fell into one of their traps. They ambushed him. Cowards. His death was a devastating blow — not just to his family, but to me. I lost a brother that day. Since then, his younger brother Zavir has taken his place as my beta. He’s six years younger, but sharp, loyal, and battle-tested. He’s earned that title. He’s earned my trust. Our world is brutal and unforgiving. It runs by laws most humans will never understand. To keep peace between humans and werewolves, an old agreement was made long ago: every city would be governed by two leaders — a human mayor, and the Alpha of the pack whose territory the city lay within.

I guess he was trying not to be recognized but the busy street I saw downstairs proved some people already figured he was here. “See you Friday, mamacita,” He said as he headed for the door. “Thanks for the ink, mano.” And he was gone — leaving me alone with Gavin. Immediately, the air shifted and reality came crashing on me like a ton of bricks. Playtime was over. It was time to face the embarrassing reason I was here — to sign away my bodily autonomy for six million dollars, an amount my parents wouldn’t notice if it disappeared from their accounts. The first thing Gavin did was cut the music. And that’s when I realized what had been playing — one of Telly’s new tracks. Of course, Gavin ha

I asked. “Demoted. Humiliated. Broke. Men like you don’t disappear. You rot. And then you look for someone to blame.” “I wouldn’t…” he croaked. I leaned down, my mouth close to his ear. “You already did.” He shuddered. “If I let you go,” I said softly, “you’d crawl to the first enemy of mine who promised you relevance. They would love you. They love leftovers. Broken men. Useful trash.” Galvin whimpered. “I wouldn’t touch her. I swear…I wouldn't speak a word about this… believe me.I wouldn’t—”

Staring at the lake, after hearing what Gavin just said. I realize that Gavin is still a normal human. I mean, I always knew he was odd and such, acting all cold and emotionless made me forget that Gavin is still a normal person. He may be weird but being a human, for me, is different from being a person. It’s hard to explain but it is different. Gavin has many things on his plate. Worries, threats, problems and probably something that I couldn’t even imagine. I don’t even know how he can still do his best despite this situation.

Gavin says and Logan takes the seat in front of him. "Well it doesn't concern us anymore," Logan says flatly and we nod. It falls quiet for a few minutes as the train slowly leaves the station and our eyes look out the window. Curiosity is now eating at us. What name did the humans choose for their city? "Oh, Atticus did you hear...? Gavin is going to be a dad too. Shannon is four months along," Logan says catching us off guard and we look at the Beta to find him blushing. "Congratulations. It's nerve-wracking isn't it," we say and Gavin laughs a little before nodding.

Gavin smiled, and shook Xander's hand as he said, "Xander, you're here." Gavin was well-connected in the business industry. Many people respected him and gave him face, but he knew that he was no different than everyone else in Xander's eyes. He also knew that Xander might not give him the time of day, but it did not matter. What mattered was what outsiders thought of their relationship and what the media wrote about it. To Gavin's surprise, Xander's assistant handed her boss a disinfectant wipe right after he let go of his hand. Xander grabbed the wet wipe and wiped his hands over and over again.

“That isn’t the plan. We’re not lying to those people, Carter. I’ll do the introductions, tell them the article isn’t true, and offer them the best deal they probably wouldn’t get in their lifetime. Understood?” “Come on. If he’s bringing his wife, it’s our job to make a good impression with her too—with Savi, of course. You can’t do that alone. Besides, what do you know about tending wives? No offense. You can’t win PeekFlix with your current attitude.” Fine. He got me there. He sounded just like Dad. “Will it work?” “It will,” he assured. “If the Reeds are using tricks, why can’t we? If we nail this, we have more advantages. Businessmen like Emilio likes money, but he’s the kind who lives
