The Grim Reaper's Maid
"We've exterminated the rest of your traitorous pack, Jade. You're the last living member..." Elias said, kicking the severed head of my alpha.
"...but I'm inclined to show you mercy."
He nodded, soon, a battered figure was dragged into the cell - my mate, Ethan.
"Carry out a simple task,' Elias continue.
"...and I'll permit you and your traitorous mate to live out your days together in exile."
I stared between the severed head of my alpha, and Ethan's battered body.
"...what...what would you have me do?"
"It's quite simple, really." Elias smiled, immediately producing a thick contract and pen, sliding them over to me.
"A notorious threat plagued our territories for years, evading capture at every turn, leaving only carnage in his wake.
He is known as The Grim Reaper.
I want you to track him...
Kill him...
And bring me evidence of his demise."
"Do this, and I will grant your freedom."
"And... if I refuse?"
"Then his torture continues until either he breaks or death claims him. And you will face execution at dawn."
