The Draekin

On his twentieth birthday Jory Trayner loses both of his jobs and finds out that his boyfriend is a cheating scumbag.

But that's just the problems for that particular day.

He has others.

His best friend is a stuffed dragon that talks to him.

He sees things that he calls Reapers, dark misty beings sent to collect the recently deceased.

And he knows he's not human but he doesn't know what his father is because his dryad mother wouldn't tell him. She prefers her plants and abandoned him when he was barely eighteen.

He does his best to carry on in the human world, a world that he doesn't fit into even though it's the world he was raised in.

Athan Arctos is a vampire. He's wealthy, intelligent, handsome and is absolutely sure of his place at the top of the food chain, because duh, terrifying creature of the night.

Jory asks him for a job and Athan decides to play with his dinner before consuming it.
