4. Mated

This is a wolf of The Blood Crest pack.
The tyrannical and merciless Russian wolf pack who ruled the other half of New York. They were also mafia, Russian Bratva and Sergio’s mortal enemies. I see my father walk towards the man and speak to him.
This terrified me; he had already promised me to the Lycans of Vegas. Would he offer me to this man as well? I know my father only wanted power, and the Bratva would be the perfect place to have a foot in the door. The man looked at my father, and his eyes flashed the deepest crimson I had ever seen.
“Move,” he growls and steps past my father, whose eyes fell on me, but they held no intimidation against the man who had brushed him off.
I step backwards, fear gripping my heart at the sight of this man stalking the room. His eyes were deep red, which signified he was an Alpha, and I have heard a lot about the Alpha of the Blood Crest Pack.
Beast, he was every inch of the word and oozed dominance.
This man had killed every member of his family, tore out their hearts, ate them and ascended to Alpha; This was not a man who I wanted to be noticed by. I needed to get out of here.
“Kai Volkov, what are you doing in my territory?” Sergio bellows and walks up to the man, his eyes flashing the red that signified Alpha as well, but it definitely held no power or intimidation over the man he called Kai. He chuckles and continues to search the room.
“I’ve come to claim what is rightfully mine, and her scent led me here.” He says, then meets Sergio’s gaze. Kai’s voice wasn’t loud, but it demanded submission. It was deep and powerful, leaving an ache in my core that surprised me. The unmistakable Russian accent was like music to my ears; I had to hear more.
“Leave before I kill you myself, Wilkołak.” Sergio roars, but Kai only shakes his head.
The other Alpha clicks his tongue. “You know I'm Russian, not Polish, right? In any case, I’ve only come for what’s mine, Andretti.” He says, and I notice the unmistakable scent of intimidation from both the Alphas.
“There is nothing here that belongs to you. Now leave before I make you.” Sergio roars again, and his men surround Kai, who sighs and crosses his arms in front of his chest, his huge muscles bulging.
I don’t know why, but I found him incredibly attractive, so much so that I ached for him. His head whips up, but before he can do anything, one of Sergio’s Beta’s lunges at him. Kai grabs him by the throat and rips it open with his now extended claws.
This should terrify me, disgust me even, but I saw this as incredibly sexy. He licks the blood from his fingers and grins.
“Self defence, you should teach your Beta pups more restraint, Andretti,” Kai says, then suddenly frowns.
He sniffs the air, then his blue eyes meet mine and shimmered that deep crimson again.
As soon as our eyes meet, I feel something similar to a string pulling taut. My core throbs with a need I have never felt before as his eyes bore into mine. My heart pounds like a drumline in my chest, so loud that I am sure he could hear it.
He bares his fangs in a delicious, devious grin and walks towards me, his stare knocking the wind out of me. It takes everything in me to not go to him and throw myself at his feet in submission.
What was this? Why did I feel attracted to him, even when he had just ripped a young Beta’s throat out?
He then lifts his hand and points to me. “I’ve come to claim my mate.”
His words brought me back to reality at a screeching halt. HIS WHAT?!
Is this what the mate bond felt like? This unmistakable pull, this desire throbbing deep inside and willing you to submit to the one the Mood Goddess chose for you? Could this be why his scent seemed so familiar to me, because I am fated to be his?
“Mate…” my wolf calls to him, ears pulled back and ready to submit.
His gaze does not leave mine as he stalks towards me, but Sergio steps in his path, forcing him to break eye contact and leaving me feeling bereft.
“Mate?! Are you insane, Volkov? Leave this instant, or that will be you laying with your throat ripped out.” He threatens, but Kai’s eye flickers to mine again then he smiles.
“You will deny me what the Moon Goddess has gifted me?” He chuckles, then his scent of intimidation flooded the room again, thick and heady and causing me to nearly stumble.
I feel his eyes on me again. “If you do not believe me, ask the female what happened when our eyes met.” He says, and now I know the entire room had their eyes trained on me.
I look up, finding his gaze again and somehow feeling empowered by it. Sergio raised his eyebrow and waited.
“A throbbing right in my centre, then something similar to the feeling of a string pulling tight,” I whisper, but knew they all heard me.
Gasps from the room; I see my mother’s bulging eyes and my father’s lips a thin line. I scan the faces - all shocked and disgusted at what had just happened, but when my eyes fall on Carlotta, I caught the unmistakable hint of jealousy once again dancing in her eyes.
Sergio’s mouth was hanging open in shock, but my eyes didn’t linger on them long enough to care.
Kai was now standing in front of me, and I could smell his scent even more - a rough woodsy smell that played with my senses. He tilts my chin up and pins me with a deadly stare - then his eyes flash red with anger and he looks behind him.
“Everyone who has ever caused my mate to feel this broken and hurt will now be deemed my enemy. I don’t give a shit if you’re her mother or sister; you have hurt her and in turn, have hurt me.” He growls, then looks down at me.
“You’ll be safe with me, little wolf.”
“Caterina. My name is Caterina,” I say in a hushed tone and see his eyes close in ecstasy - did my voice have the same effect on him as his voice had on me?
“Caterina…” he purrs, stroking my cheek. Then holds out his hand for me to take, which I do. His hands felt hard, calloused; the hands of an Alpha not afraid to get his hands dirty.
Bringing the back of my hand to his lips, he kisses it, then lifts me up and throws me over his shoulder. I squeal as he does this, but he only slaps my behind and turns to leave the room and my old life behind.
Onto a new life with a dangerous Alpha who claimed me as his, an Alpha who ate the hearts of his parents and brothers.
An Alpha who would kill anyone who stood in his way.

Alpha Kai 5. Marked
Caterina I wanted a new start, and now it seems like I would get it. We exit my father’s mansion and come to a stop in front of a black and green motorcycle. There was a leather jacket lying on top of the seat. “Ever been on a bike, Caterina?” He asks as he gently puts me down next to him. I look up into his eyes, not sure how I’ll get used to the intensity behind his stare, and shake my head. “N-no, not at all,” I say and see the grin spread on his face again. This man terrified and intrigued me simultaneously, and it was making my head spin. “You’re in for a treat, then,” he says, about to place a helmet on my head, but then I remembered something. “Wait, I need to get my things, my clothing and belongings,” I tell him, about to turn around and walk back inside my home, when he pulls me back by my wrist. “I have just marked your entire family as my enemy. Do you really think they will allow you to waltz back in there
Alpha Kai 6. Mine
Kai I lay her down on the bed we would share from now on, our bed, and gaze down at her. My mate was stunning and had the essence of an Alpha deep inside her; she just didn’t know her worth yet. “We will show her…” my beast rumbles, calming down for the first time since I set my eyes on her. Yes, we will show her - we will make her a Queen. As soon as I lay my eyes on her back in that hall, I knew she was mine. Her scent reminded me of home, fresh Spring rain as it hit the forest surrounding our villa in Russia. The familiarity is what pulled me towards her, but it wasn’t until we made eye contact that I could confirm it. Even as Andretti droned on, all I wanted was her, and I had to kill a Beta pup to do it. The innocence she displayed didn’t match her smart mouth, and I couldn’t wait to see what else she had to show me. When I walk back downstairs, I hear my elevator open and listen to my pack as they stroll i
Alpha Kai 7. Ruin
Caterina “I will ruin you, Caterina,” His words promised violence and so much more. This man was irresistible, his beast so much more so. I wanted him, wanted this Alpha to claim me, but I could see him fighting the desire to do precisely that. So I bring my hands up and cup his face, his crimson eyes closing as I do so while he leans into my palm. When they open again, the clear blue is back, and he smiles down at me. “Thank you, as much as I would love nothing more than to be buried deep inside you; I know you are nowhere near ready for me.” He says, then steps away from me and takes my hand in his, “Let me give you a tour of my home; our home,” I smile at his words, my lust replaced with excitement as he takes me around the massive penthouse. The place was beautiful, every piece of furniture and art painstakingly chosen to complement one another. This penthouse didn’t have the flashy wealth on display like at my parent’s mansion, even though I know that Kai is five times as we
Alpha Kai 8. Nikolai
Caterina I lay curled up on the bed, Kai’s warmth and touch slowly leaving my body. I never thought that meeting your mate would make you feel this intense animalistic hunger; like you just couldn’t get enough of the other. Is it because he’s an Alpha? Would it be different with any other wolf? The pull in my chest says different. Lifting up from the bed, I walk over to the walk-in closet that houses Kai’s clothing. His scent was the strongest here; musky and powerful. I close my eyes and drink him in, feeling my inner wolf yearn for him once more. It wanted to submit to Kai, I felt its need deep inside my core and I am afraid that I will not be able to hold it back for much longer. It’s only been day one - we still had a week to go. Taking a deep breath -regretting it afterwards- then I step out of the walk-in. I had nothing here, no cell phone, no clothing, so I decided to go downstairs. The clock on the wall shows 7 pm now;
Alpha Kai 9. Fang
Kai As soon as I left the penthouse, my wolf’s ears went flat, and he released a disapproving growl. “We’ll be back later; there’s work to do,” I tried to appease him, but I could tell he was anxious to get back to her. Her actions while she was on top of me nearly snapped my self-restraint. Her grinding, her hands all over me, her scent and naked pussy against my throbbing cock - it made me want to claim her right then and there. What little self-control I had pulled my beast back in and let her go. We were so close, so damn close… But now, I have to focus on work and step into my role as Pakhan. I got into my Bugatti Veyron and hauled ass out of the penthouse parking lot before I changed my mind. I owned a few clubs on Billionaire’s Row; by a few, I mean all of them. Men with money have different tastes; most of them border on illegal, but I do not care to cater to those types of needs. Money, dominance and women ruled these men, an
Alpha Kai 10. Ballerina
Caterina I open my eyes to sunlight streaming into my room, and for a second, I am momentarily dazed as to what I was looking at; a heavily tattooed chest. Then the memory of what happened yesterday comes flooding back in waves. I curl deeper into Kai’s arms, not wanting this to go away or, even worse, waking up in my bed back home to find out this has all been a dream. His arms pull me into a deeper embrace, and I feel something hard digging into my thigh. A blush blooms on my cheeks when I realise what it could be, so I just sink deeper into his arms. “Hmm, Caterina,” he thrums in a deep voice laced thick with sleep. When I look up, his eyes are still closed, but he has a smile teasing his lips. “Good morning,” I say in a small voice but hear the rumble in his chest at the sound of it. “Good, indeed,” he says, opening his eyes. “Did you sleep well?” As soon as he opened his eyes, that possessive string pulls taught, but I swallowed
Alpha Kai 11. Run
Caterina Thank God Kai doesn’t walk to that monster bike; instead, he comes to a stop in front of a beautiful sleek black sports car. He walks over to my side and opens the door for me, then smacks my behind before I can even sit down. I let out a yelp as I sit down, and when I look at him, he winks and closes the door. Naughty bastard. After that, we were off. The drive to the estate took about two hours. I’ve never driven in comfortable silence with anyone, but with Kai, it came naturally. “So who all lives on this estate?” I ask, turning my head towards the driver’s seat. “The elders, young pups, Betas who aren’t as tough and bloodthirsty as the ones which run at my flank. It’s a community of about 500+ people, but I see them all as my family, the ones I am sworn to protect.” He says as he watches the road. 500+ people?! That is like a small town! I have never known packs to be this huge; they might just be the largest wolf
Alpha Kai 12. Hunt
Kai I knew she was always meant to be mine, but it didn’t click until I saw her shift. This fucking woman was perfection personified, the Goddess made her to be mine in every way! Her coat was the same colour of obsidian as mine was, although my size outweighs hers, I watched her as she hunted the buck in front of us, her frame was lithe and graceful, every inch of the dancer that she was. I allowed her to lead the hunt, watching her moves from a distance and growling softly in approval. When she caught it and took it down, cracking its neck with the twist of her head, pride swelled in my chest. She looked up at me, nudging the dead animal with her nose in a signal that she wanted me to eat first. I’m the Alpha, so this was normal for me, but I shook my head and gestured for her to eat first. The surprise and confusion in her eyes worried me a bit, but I nudged the buck with my nose again and she understood what I meant. Cater

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
