I ruled Death's domain for countless millennia.

Thousands of miles away, Gabriel was with one of his death dealers surveying the gruesome discovery.

On it was one soul, that of his brother Kris, who had given up his life to get Katie out of Death's underworld.

It never sat well with him that those charged with enforcing Death's mission served not out of choice but obligation to the deity that stole their souls.

His dark eyes went from her to Cora, and he lifted his chin in silent command to dismiss the death dealer.

Even if they got human-Deidre away from Darkyn, Darkyn could find and reclaim her anywhere she was hidden, outside of Death's underworld.

She was unaware of where she went until a death dealer faded from the surrounding forest.

The death dealer didn't challenge her, instead melting back into the forest shadows.

No deity or Immortal or living human ever welcomed or accepted Death, but the souls always had.

The female death dealer was exiting a portal.

She pushed herself to her feet, ignoring the death dealer's glare.

Deidre ignored the grunt the death dealer gave her in response.

The death dealer was gazing at her intently.

It was good that Cora had faith in Gabriel when he was losing death dealers who no longer believed in him.

For the first time in her life, Deidre pitied the death dealers.

He knew what souls the demons were after, and his death dealers were equipped with the soul compasses.

The longer he thought, the more he realized his frustration had nothing to do with his duties as Death.

He emerged beside the lake, where two death dealers stood over Cora.

I can help you with being Death.

Granted, he was Death, and she was offering a partnership running the underworld instead of deferring to him in his role in charge of the underworld.

If Darkyn told him about the death dealers attacking his mate, Gabriel would've ignored him.

His death dealers were around, ever-wary for signs of demons.

He had to remain a compassionate Death, one who understood what it was to live.

Afterwards, go get the death dealer Darkyn has and apply some pressure.

He didn't know if it was because of Darkyn or because of being attacked by death dealers that defected.

Deidre knew the death dealer; she'd recruited all of them.

The death dealer paled and glanced at Deidre.

Something was broken and for once, it wasn't Death's domain.

She commiserated with the brown-tinged blossoms left behind by other customers who didn't want to be so close to death.

Unable to outmaneuver death, she could at least take out her grief and anger on a poor little piece of mail.

Her destiny lies with Death.

Death was almost seven feet tall, built more solid than a tree trunk with hair and eyes darker than a moonless night.

Death-dealers operated off a sense of soul radar that pulled them like magnets to the lives that were on Death's list to be ended.

Not many people appreciated a sense of humor crafted over millennia as a sanctioned killer for Death.

I'm maintaining Death's routine.

A former-human running Death's domain?

It wasn't out of the realm of the possible that the information he needed was hidden in some sort of sadistic treasure hunt created by the sociopathic goddess who held the title of Death before him.

They moved out of his way as he strode through the wide hallways to the stairwell leading to the top floor, Death's floor.

Guessing the compass only worked in the mortal world, Gabe emplaced it around his neck before picking up the green emerald – the form a soul took after death – and peering at it.

Whoever owned the soul, he or she was important to find their way to Death's jewelry box.

It wasn't the normal greeting Death gave souls, but he was too frustrated to care.

She had to be, or he wouldn't have been able to assume her role as Death.

Death. I'm thinking about death.

Something about him made her feel comfortable, or she wouldn't be sitting alone with a man dressed like the angel of death on the beach after dark, revealing secrets she didn't tell her boyfriend of two years.

Death is the most universal experience possible, true, but it's also the most personal.

Death lets you see the stars and the moon instead of how dark the night is.

She'd ensnared him with her laughter and touched him with her words about Death.

He'd never been guilty in his role as an assassin or as Death, until sitting with her on the beach.

I'm Death, and I said I'll survive?

Gabriel's temper was close to boiling over, for the umpteenth time since he inherited the responsibilities of Death.

Gabe nodded, forced to admit he no longer had any idea how to fix whatever was broken in Death's domain.

None of my dealers can either, if I can't be directly involved in her death.

Something about him touched her on a level that left her feeling at peace, as if he, too, understood what it was to face death each day and struggle to see the light instead of the surrounding darkness.

Whenever she felt overwhelmed from her oncoming death or the doctors' news, she ran to her room until she was strong enough to face the world again.

There was no sign of the gentle man who made love to her last night, nothing but the cold, stony features of death.

He wants to kill me, because he's Death and that's what Death does.

He had little time to redeem himself, and he kicked himself mentally for not walking into the room that would turn him into the Death he was supposed to be.

Death, a word, if you please.

Wynn's soul was an official debt she incurred, and Death would do its duty and repay.

The demons he sent to Death's underworld failed.

Darkyn took it, instantly recognizing the magic as Death's.

Death is going old school.

For what it's worth, Gabe was the most respected and longest serving assassin of Death before he got promoted.

You have flirted with Death for three years now.

She'd imagined staring down Death before, but she never guessed it would be anything like this.

He held her gaze, and she had the sense that he was looking beyond her, to her soul, examining it as only Death could.

What happened to Death letting you see the stars and moon instead of how dark the night is?

Instead of a slow, fifty year death, it'll be three years.

Happiness causes her pain, the tumor to grow and eventually, death.

She was barely holding it together knowing about Death and the Immortals.

So you're not Death anymore?

Deidre, you were Death for let's say, a zillion years.

That she was a deity, Death, who lived for thousands of years … None of that made sense.

Death … you used to take care of the really old angels, and Gabe visited the little ones all the time.

Not an easy thing to do when you're Death.

Deidre suspected the result of provoking either man was death to someone.

It seemed like death was the only way to make up for whatever past-Deidre did.

Death will not let you die-dead.

Gabriel was waiting with the patience of Death, though he'd started to tense, indicating his guard was going up once more.

But Death on guard was something else entirely, and she wasn't going to be the second woman to revel in the heat of his arms this night.

She wanted to ask more about them and what happened after Death claimed someone, but it was a lot to deal with.

Suddenly, a blank check – even from Death – didn't seem like enough for what his one kiss might cost her.

How did they beat Death?

The death-dealer before him was newer, with less than a few decades in the service of Death.

It was a much kinder death than he deserved.

Distracted, Gabe began to think about how he might be able to save Deidre using the powers of Death.

All souls – even those of deities – came to Death eventually.

Death didn't live in the shadows as Gabriel had for the majority of his life.

Neither did Death sit back and wait to discover the information he needed to do his job.

All five of the death dealers on guard had drawn near the lake.

He'd always known the source of Death's magic was the souls, but he'd never seen his predecessor wield the light of the souls.

You'll pay for it later, Death, came the deity's amused response.

As if sensing Death was in the room, the string of lights fell away from the wall on one side.

Death smiled so faintly, she barely saw it.

You are between Death and well, Death, right now.

I wanted you to suffer a long, painful death and was willing to do whatever it took to make that a reality.

But you're … kinda scary, Gabriel, even if you weren't Death.

For once, things were going in Death's favor.

Death wasn't what she wanted.

Deidre considered how long it took for her to accept her impending death.

Deidre took a deep breath and faced the deity previously known as Death.

Gabriel's lover and master, the deity Death, materialized beside him at the Oracle's altar in the center of an ancient fortress in the Sanctuary.

He sensed Death's disapproval.

Death took her human form out of respect for the women of the convent-like Sanctuary that housed the Oracle.

At close to seven feet with eyes and hair blacker than night and a permanent scowl, he was what most expected Death to look like.

Death smiled serenely and placed her small hand on the book.

The only immortals on Death's list were those who were about to become dead-dead.

Death's hand hovered over the pages, and she turned them quickly without touching them.

Death gave him a pointed look, waiting for him to jump to his friend's defense as he always did.

Death closed the book and looked up at him.

Death held out her hand, and an hourglass with black sand appeared in her palm.

The restriction smacked him hard, as he'd been ready to drag Rhyn out of Hell as soon as Death was gone.

It was his immortal powers, which Death had yanked from him when she ordered Gabriel to take him to Hell.

Death curtseyed back, gave Gabriel a final look of warning, and followed the woman in grey to afternoon tea.

Rhyn growled a painful laugh, appreciative of the death dealer's dark humor.

You and Death fighting?

The death dealer was his only friend who'd stuck with him since he'd been banned to Hell by his brothers and dragged there by the immortal death dealer before him.

Gabriel held out a vial he'd last seen in the hand of a furious Death.

The death dealer chuckled

Very little surprised him, but the death dealer's question did.

He didn't know why the death dealer was distant this visit, and he didn't care.

The death dealer shifted but didn't leave, and Rhyn looked again at the corner.

Rhyn never expected to hear these words from the death dealer, who needed nothing from anyone.

Death and her pet worked in their own ways.

No, Death wanted something from him, and gave him the ability to do her will.

He felt some peace knowing that --whatever Death wanted from him --she'd have to free him from Hell to get it.

He looked like death with his dark hair and cold eyes, his panther-like physique, and gloved hands.

I mean, why would a death dealer be here?
