Reaper Academy Chapter 1 Reaper Academy

Chapter 1

"War is coming, Helena. War is coming."

Opening my eyes, I looked around, this time no longer fearing the nightmare that always had me clawing into my sheets and ripping it into pieces, a reminder that I wasn't normal.

That I had never been.

Today was going to be a good day, father had said.

More like a life sentence, but I always agreed with whatever Papa said.

Today is my eighteenth birthday and if everything goes well, I'm going to be shipped to Reaper Academy by the end of the week.

Too fast for you?

I'm Helena Shaw, a citizen of the Island country of Spatos, revered by the world for advancement in technology and harmony between different species, the species being the humans and vampires, the country governed by Councilors, who were of both species.

Eighteen years ago, another species, Lamias were part of the citizens of Spatos until the war and the creation of the magical mist that separated us from them.

The mist was on the outskirts of Antiope, the fallen city closest to the Milton Forest which was now also a part of the mist and Lamia territory.

Close to that great mist stood Reaper Academy, a training school for vampires and half vampires to harness their gifts because the mist was weak, they said.

Once you were sixteen, you were tested and if found to be of good health, sent to Reaper Academy to harness your skills in order to either become an enforcer for the city, a guardian for any of the councilors or what was called an elite team, set aside for the day the mist fell.

The humans also had an academy, the Enforcement, that trained those interested in becoming enforcers for the city. Very few got the honour of being a part of the elite team or Guardian status.

Being sent to an academy was every teenager's dream, except it wasn't mine. Especially because I wasn't vampire or human.

I was an abomination, a half vampire, half Lamia. A Vami. The first to ever survive birth.

After the war and the Lamia were banished, the rest that remained were hunted and killed off, save my mother, a Lamia, who'd hidden because she was pregnant with me.

Apparently, she had had a vision that I was destined for greatness, according to my father and had died giving birth to me.

For six years, my father had hidden me, watched me to see if I would drop dead, before confessing to the Council and pleading that my life be spared.

That was the beginning of the end of life as I knew it. We were brought from Erros, a city in the South where I'd been born to Anthios, the capital city where the Council resided.

My mood was watched round the clock by Enforcers, everywhere I went, people stared at me in fear and awe, the only reason I hadn't been stoned to death on the streets being the announcement of the Council that I would be instrumental to the defeat of Lamias if they ever crossed the mist.

I didn't have any friends at school but I didn't mind. The one person who had wanted to be my friend, Lizzie, a human had run screaming after I showed her my Lamia form.

My father was the only one who loved me, not like he had a choice in the matter but I guess I had to be grateful that I hadn't been abandoned in front of Welma's orphanage babies home.

Being a Vami wasn't all bad, I was prettier than most vampires and vampires had ethereal beauty, my hair as dark as night that stopped at my waist and my eyes a bright hazel like my mother's.

I had her petite height but my father's smile and curves for days on a slim body, that made some humans want to ask me out even though they worried whether I'd eat them alive or poach their organs, all rumors that were unfounded, because like vampires and Lamias, I lived on blood. Animal blood and human blood bought at a blood bank.

Vampires could walk under sunlight for a while but couldn't tolerate it like humans did, so they preferred nightfall for most activities. Lamias on the other hand were night creatures and had almost zero tolerance for sunlight.

As both, I could walk around in the sun but it wasn't something I liked to do.

Vampire abilities ranged from increased speed, strength, sharpened senses, presence of fangs and black eyes. They could be killed by decapitation, fire or stake to the heart from wood from the mountain ash tree that grew on the riverside of Gaith, a city in the West.

Lamia abilities ranged from increased speed, strength, sharpened senses, snake like flexibility, fangs and claws that can paralyze a body part when cut and white eyes. The paralytic effects usually wore off after 24 hours. They could be killed with silver or sunlight.

I'd spent majority of my life learning my abilities, and while I could walk in the sun, had increased strength and heightened senses, the ability to change my eyes to both black and white and snake like flexibility, I tired out quicker than the average vampire, a trait the Councilors thought was weak, and a reason why they mandated that I be sent to Reaper Academy, even though I didn't want to.

Not because I didn't want to learn to defend myself, especially when I was vulnerable to all the things that both Vampires and Lamias were which made me a target, but because I was terrified.

Some went to Reaper Academy and never survived the training. I didn't want to be an Enforcer or Guardian or Savior.

I wanted to be a seamstress like my mother. Unfortunately, I didn't have a choice. The life of my father, an Enforcer was on the line. My life was on the line. I needed to prove my loyalty to the Council and my country. The only way to get out of this was if the blood work showed an ailment or something in my biology that made me unfit to go.

I prayed for a miracle as I walked into the city lab by myself, but if there was anything I knew about the gods, it was that that they never answered when I spoke.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.
