“We have never seen this before, and I have had a bad feeling ever since one of our old prophecies came to be: ‘When the moment comes that prey kills predator, the foreign one shall bring forth a union of fated hybrid mates and an age of anarchy.’ This was the death of our Viktor. The rest I was uncertain of until I laid my eyes on your mate and received another prophecy.” She says, then looks at me.
I felt a chill in her stare, not coldness or hatred at all, but I had a feeling she knew what would come next.
“I don’t understand your prophecy,” Kai says, shaking his head. “Who is the foreign one?”
Kaede laughs quietly. “I am surprised that that is what you ask and not who the fated hybrid mates are or what the other prophecy was. You know already, don’t you, Kai?” She says, then walks up to me and places a hand on my forehead.
“She has already received gifts, and a shard of Tiarin’s soul is implanted in hers. You know

Caterina As I open my eyes, I am assaulted by a splitting headache and immediately let out a groan. The images are blurred but soon come into focus, and I realize that I am back at the penthouse. Did I fall asleep in the car? The last thing I remember is walking towards the car with Kai's hand in mine. I must have been entirely out of it and drained to have passed out like that. I grab my phone from the nightstand to look at the time: 6 am! I slept the entire evening away! As if to tell me I messed up, my stomach growls in protest, so I get up from the bed only to notice that I was in PJ's. Wait, did Kai change me as well? Smiling, I slip on my fluffy slippers and head downstairs. When I reach the bottom of the stairs, I don't see or hear anything; was anyone home? Shuffling down the hallway, I make my way to Kai's study and raise my hand to knock, but before I could, Kai spoke. "Come in, Caterina." My eyes widen at hi
Alpha Kai 38. Family
Kai After watching how relaxed and calm she was during today's outing, I didn’t want to ruin her peace of mind. I couldn’t bring myself to tell her the truth behind her role in my life; why she was chosen to be my mate and why an enemy pack kidnapped and hid her. She won’t be able to handle all of it in the state that she is in now, so I will tell her everything after I’ve claimed her. When we got back from our trip, she went straight to get in a hot bath then jumped into bed. I think I tired her out today, but that was my aim. She needed to sleep without worry for once… and I needed to get to Konstantin. My brother had some news for me about Caterina’s family, and from what I could tell, it was not good news. So I have Dimitri come over and keep an eye on her while we go to investigate. I must admit that what Caterina said she saw when she touched Dimitri still bothered me. Not only was my younger brother pro saving the world
Alpha Kai 39. Dimitri
Caterina “Wait, so you’re going to teach me the ways of the Bratva? Why?” I ask Kai as I look over at him from the passenger side of the SUV. When we got home from spending the entire Sunday together in the forest, I passed out as soon as I got home. But when Kai woke me up this morning, he let me know that we had a full day planned today. I wasn’t sure what he meant by it, though, and now he’s telling me that I would be learning the ways of the Russian mafia?? Kai smiles and nods. “I figured since you’re going to rule at my side, you might as well know what this side of our dynasty entails as well. You’re no timid pup, Caterina; I am certain that you can handle it.” He says, facing forward as we drive to Dimitri’s club, Dreamcatcher. “Oh, okay. But why are we heading to Dimitri’s club first?” I ask. Apparently, Dimitri was my babysitter last night as I slept. Kai sighs. “Because after you told me what you saw with reg
Alpha Kai 40. Success
Kai Something felt wrong as soon as I dropped Caterina off this morning, but I would never have thought this would be the outcome. “What the fuck do you mean?” I ask Dimitri while tightening the grip around his throat, but he only chuckles. “She wanted to help, so I sent her on a mission. I thought you wanted me to teach her our ways,” he chokes, gripping my hand. I growl as I throw him to the side, the anger burning hot in my veins, and I pinch the bridge of my nose. “So you send her into the clutches of a fucking VAMPIRE?!” I say through gritted teeth and pulling out my cell phone. This can’t be happening, not now when I had a million other things to worry about! The DA’s office is basically a vampire’ den, and he let her walk straight into it with no backup or protection. Dimitri walks over to me and dares to put a hand on my shoulder. “Have some fucking faith in your mate, brother,” he says. I aim a death s
Alpha Kai 41. Confessions
Caterina I watch as Dimitri pales, then his eyes dart from Kai to me and back to Kai again. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he says, pouring himself a third glass of alcohol and not looking at us. Kai looks like he’s at a loss for words to say, so I step forward. “Dimitri, I saw what happened. The thief was on his knees begging for his life, but you stood over him and ripped out-” “Bullshit! How… How could you possibly….” Dimitri turns around with wide eyes and throws his glass to the ground. “No one was there, it was… it was an accident! I didn’t mean to kill him!” “I know,” I say, walking towards him and placing my hands on his shoulders. “I also saw how heartbroken you were when you realised what you had done.” Dimitri peers at me with a look of confusion on his face. “How do you know all this?” He asks, and I give him a small smile. “It’s going to sound weird, but I saw it when I touched y
Alpha Kai 42. Transfer
Kai Did I just hear what I thought I did? I looked at Caterina, swollen lips and desire ebbing away, and I knew that I heard right. My beast just told both of us to dial back on our lust. Buckling my belt again, I walk towards the bed and sit down next to her. She looks at me with an apologetic smile and sighs. “I think we just got reprimanded,” she says with wide eyes, and I burst out laughing. “Yes, it does seem that way, doesn’t it?” I say, then pull her closer to me before wrapping my arms around her. “I’m sorry about that, Caterina. I lost control,” I say, breathing out a sigh, but she shakes her head. “I could have stopped you, but I didn’t. So I need to apologise as well.” She says. I don’t know why I lost control like that; we nearly went all the way with the eclipse in three days’ time. This act would have ruined our ritual and not strengthened our bond at all. Fuck, how could I be so damn stu
Alpha Kai 43. Ilya
Caterina Kai fell asleep almost immediately after coming to bed, but I am still wide awake. There was no way I would sleep after seeing what I did. The image of Kai’s lifeless eyes staring up at me is fresh in my mind. For now, I’m content with watching him sleep; he looks so peaceful. The permanent scowl on his face was eased out and replaced with a sleepy frown. His mouth was slightly open, and every now and then, it looked like he was chewing something in his dream. In short, the big bad Alpha was gone and replaced with this adorable man. I reach up and touch his face, spying on his wolf as he slept but noticing that although he might seem peaceful as he slept, inside, he was an anxious mess. His wolf paced up and down, then stopped before pacing again. Was Kai worried about something? Would he tell me what was on his mind? I sigh, then lean forward and place a kiss on his forehead. Our mate bond would be solidified
Alpha Kai 44. Eclipse
Kai No one knew where Vanya went, and she cut off her ties to us soon after Ilya died. It is as if she disappeared into thin air. Fucking witches, I don't particularly like them and the way they tamper with things. Especially the dark witches in Norway; those women could send you to Hell and make you wish for more. A chill goes up my spine as I remember visiting Norway with my parents searching for a way to calm my Lycan beast. All their rituals required human sacrifices, so my mother opted for the ritual she underwent with our own witches. Sometimes I wished she would have gone with the sacrifices; it would mean she would still be alive now to guide me. If the meeting with my pack was difficult, staring into Kaede's furious expression is even worse. "She tricked us all! How?! How did we allow this to happen?!" She exclaims, pacing the room in anger. Her sisters mirrored her sentiment, and so did I; how did Alyosha trick an entire pack with a coven of powerful witches? I sigh, wa

Alpha Kai Excerpt - Konstantin: The Heartless Beta
Prologue - Lily, 19 Years Old Given to the Russian mafia; my brother truly had no respect for me. How can I consciously describe the anger that I am feeling right now? Sitting on a million-dollar private jet and heading for New York, I feel like nothing more than a slave sold off to appease an Alpha, even if that Alpha looked like he had zero interest in me. How could my brother do this to me? After everything I have done to show him that I am worthy of being his Beta! After all the training I went through, the beatings, the abuse! He promised me that he would consider me for the role if I completed my training, but what did I expect from a beast who has murdered three of his wives? I clench my jaw, then look at the two men in front of me; both imposing and tall with the air of Russian royalty about them. Kai Volkov was everything the rumours said and more; tall, built like a panzer tank, and no emotion evident in his blue eyes. The i
Alpha Kai Alpha Kai - Epilogue
Kai I watch Caterina as she sleeps, and as usual, a smile spreads on my face. This woman has brought me nothing but happiness, and now that she’s pregnant with my child and heir, you can bet your ass that my overprotective nature has doubled. Yes, this does tend to annoy her, but what she doesn’t understand is that even though I am overprotective, my beast is a thousand times worse. It takes a lot of willpower to shut him down when she lets out a sigh or looks worried - I love her deeply, but he… he’s another story altogether. It’s 6 am, and I get up to start my day. Things have calmed down after the deaths of the vampires. I know a new den will start up in the absence of Westcott, but we will be prepared for them when they do arrive. Our new coven of witches arrived last night with nothing but goodwill and blessings; it irks me a bit because these witches hail from Norway, and I despise their evil nature. I make my way downst
Alpha Kai 60. Caterina Volkova, Luna, Goddess, Mother.
Caterina I killed Nikolai; I murdered the youngest Volkov, and as I stand in front of his burning pyre, this is all that runs through my head. No one blames me. Of course, they wouldn’t, but whenever I close my eyes, I can see Nikolai’s face looking up at me with pleading eyes as I tear him in two. This IS my fault, no matter how they look at it or how much they deny it. Kai takes my hand in his and kisses the back. “Let's go home,” he says, leading me back to the car. I’ve been wracked with guilt ever since we came home from the DA Westcott’s place. The brothers set the place on fire and made it look like a disgruntled former caseworker did it. Knowing that I summoned something dark to do my bidding scares the hell out of me, and the fact that it killed every vampire in his lair terrifies me to my core. The Volkov Witches told Kai about their part in everything, which included making sure Kai mated with me and fulfil
Alpha Kai 59. Fenriz
Konstantin I’ve felt Fenriz’s eyes on me this entire time; does he know something that I don’t? Ever since he arrived a few hours ago, he’s been shooting me death glares, and I still don’t know why. Well, I think I understand why. Word got to him that I claimed his sister as my second in command, so perhaps he wants to ask me about her. Fuck, I hope he doesn’t because I haven’t exactly told him that she left my side almost three months ago. “Konstantin,” his gruff voice cuts through my thoughts as he walks over to me, shifted back to his human form. “I believe Lilith has been under your care this entire time. How is my little sister?” The question I have been dreading has come, and when I look at him, it is with feigned boredom. “I wish I knew; she left a few months ago after she found her mate-” Fenriz has me pinned against the wall before I can even finish my sentence, and when he looks at me, it is with double crimson Lycan
Alpha Kai 58. Vampire
Caterina DA Westcott leaves the basement again after pinning me to the ceiling with chains drenched in wolfsbane. He’s expecting me to perform some sort of miracle and turn him into a hybrid. I think he’s watched too much Vampire Diaries, if you ask me. A Wolf/Vampire hybrid? Is he insane? Not only does that cross taboo, but it is entirely unheard of. I’m the vessel of a Goddess, not a goddamn magician! But if I don’t come up with something in the next two hours, my torture will continue again. He’s placed me in a chamber made out of pure silver, so I can’t even call for help through the link if I wanted to. Who told him about me? About the prophecy? Someone close to us is leaking information, and I don’t think it is only Dominik Volkov. I don’t think Kai can survive another betrayal of someone close to him, and by the looks of things, I might know who it is. It pains me to think of it, but I will remain quiet until I
Alpha Kai 57. Dominik
Kai Someone has taken her, someone who has no scent and left my brother for dead. I will tear this entire fucking town to shreds if it means finding her. They took something that belongs to me, and they will fucking pay with their bloodline. No one touches what is mine and lives - no one. “Kai, we need to regroup and catch her scent before it completely disappears,” Kon says as we put Dimitri into his truck. “Who the fuck knew we were coming here?” He asks, but we both already know the answer to that. We've been planning to get the asshole for days now. “Dominik, who else?” I answer, walking to my car with nothing but murder on my mind. He will pay, and I don’t give a shit if he’s my uncle or not. “I’m coming, Caterina,” I say through the link, hoping it gets through to her, but it remains silent. This has just become personal - real fucking personal. Kon tries to get my attention through the link, but I drown
Alpha Kai 56. Ride
Kai I look over at Caterina riding shotgun, and pride swells in my chest. She did it; she killed the one who caused her so much pain while growing up, and she did it without even blinking. I heard the gun as Carlotta shot it, but I wanted to see what Caterina would do. Watching her as she held her sister by the throat sent a jolt straight to my cock, and it hardened even more when she ripped out her heart. Fuck, what this woman does to me! “Please stop staring,” she says as a smile tugs at her lips. “You’re making me nervous.” I chuckle then glance at her before looking at the road again. “I can make you feel something else if you want?” I say with a wink. She giggles then shakes her head. “You’re unbelievable!” Glancing at her again, I see that she tries to hide the smile forming on her lips. Caterina had no idea just how strong she could be, that she could command an army if she put her mind to it. I know her
Alpha Kai 55. Brooklyn
Caterina Could I truly face Carlotta after all this time and keep my cool? She has constantly humiliated me in the worst ways and coveted what I had. I am filled with anger and hatred towards her and what they all put me through in the past. My family loathed me and made me a rogue after I left, knowing full well that it would hurt me. Did Carlotta know that I was not a true member of the family after all? It would explain why she has always hated me. I suppose that I would never truly know her reasons for hating me, and to be honest, I didn’t care anymore. Dressed in jeans, a t-shirt and boots, I head down to join Kai again and prepare for the day ahead. I am pretty surprised at the fact that I do not feel nervous at the thought of facing my family again. I loved them, even while living under their constant abuse and humiliation. Does that make me weak? I can’t help but think of Xamnir’s words while he held me aloft: “Sometimes love
Alpha Kai 54. Hatred
Kai I’ve been up since before the sun came out, just laying next to Caterina and watching her sleep. Last night was incredible; every sexual encounter I have ever had paled in comparison to what I experienced with her. She made me feel…whole. It’s not just that, but she loves me; she loves this fucked up person who murdered both his parents and a coven of witches when he turned 18. How did she not see the filth I saw when I looked in the mirror? Whatever the case may be, I will protect this woman with my entire life and would rather perish before harm comes to her. She stirs in my arms and lets out a small sigh before settling again. I hold her close and breathe out a sigh. Today I will walk into Brooklyn to decimate the Onyx Myst pack. I’ve had enough of their fucked up ways and constantly provoking my pack to violence. To this day, I still don’t know why they had always seen us as a threat when we never had any real issues w
