"What do you know about love?" She asked, her lips thinning as his grip tightened around her neck.

"What do you know about hate, Sunshine?" He countered, his voice low and laden with intensity.

"What do you want from me?" She gasped, her eyes flickering with a mix of fear and defiance.

"Everything..." His breath was heavy against her skin as he drew closer, his lips finding hers with a softness that belied the intensity of his words. "I want you, your stubborn soul, your closed heart... I want to be by your side.... wreaking havoc on this miserable world just to have you, my desire."

Death. An entity as old as time itself, feared and revered in equal measure.

Sirius. Feared as though he were the devil incarnate, his name synonymous with danger and madness. Yet, against all odds, he fell deeply in love with a mere human.

Gwyneth, a woman whose every life had been marked by pain and loss. Each of her husbands meeting a tragic end at Sirius's hands.

Never did Gwyneth expect to reclaim the memories of her past life, vowing to avoid any entanglements that might bind her to another tragic fate. But when Sirius enters her life, determined to claim her as his own, she finds herself unable to escape his relentless pursuit.

The Reaper's Desire

Gwyneth was stunned. She slowly accepted the handshake and smiled faintly as they separated their hands.

"I'm sorry for interrupting you."

Serena smiled. "You didn't interrupt me. I was starting to get bored. I have already read every book in this library so many times."

Gwyneth nodded. "Oh..."It was such a surprise to meet Sirius's sister and she was the queen of Valtoria, queen of the vampires.

"I have been wanting to meet you. I was planning to request for your presence at day but since you are here, it is clear that the universe is by my side." Serena went on, sighing heavily.

Gwyneth raised a brow. "Is this about Sirius?"

"Always him as a matter of fact. I am guessing that you know a bit about your existence?"

Gwyneth lowered her head. "I guess." She then laughed, raising head attention back to the queen. "Not sure it's a bit though."
