How to Reap a Soul (and Lose an Assistant

Fated mates weren’t supposed to happen. Especially not at the Soul Management Bureau

PHINEAS

I believe in rules.

Rules keep the universe running smoothly. Rules keep paperwork properly filed. Rules keep assistants like me alive when we work for the god of death. Breaking them is a big mistake.

When the reapers defect and disappear overnight, I do what I’ve always done. I stay at my desk, finish my reports, and trust the system to correct itself.

Instead, Death notices me.

Suddenly I’m being watched, questioned, and quietly repositioned like a misplaced form. Knowing everything about the Bureau makes me dangerous. Sleeping with a reaper gives me leverage.

And when Death decides I’m more useful alive than dead, I learn the worst rule of all:

I can’t die anymore.

I don’t do rules.

I show up late, lose my scythe, and pretend I don’t care when I absolutely do. Phineas was supposed to be casual. Sex, laughter, zero strings.

Then the defection happens, and the bond slams into me all at once.

He’s my fated mate. Death hid it from me for years. And now Death has him.

Going back into Bureau headquarters is suicide, but I do it anyway. I lie to gods, dodge demons, and make deals I really shouldn’t. All to get Phineas back into my arms all before Death realizes he’s missing.

Spoiler alert: he realizes.
