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

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
Bratva Wolves Collection 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
Bratva Wolves Collection 13. Challenge
Caterina I smelled her before I even opened my eyes. The scent of jealousy never truly changes, and right now, the scent is overwhelming. Vanya approaches Kai’s car tentatively, and I unlock my door, stepping out of the safety of the vehicle. This woman was just another Carlotta, coveting something that was not hers and would never truly be hers. After running with him this morning, my confidence and self-worth have risen tremendously. From being abused to being treated like a Queen, I am starting to see that I am so much more than a disappointment. She eyes me up and down, then lets out a scoff and crosses her arms in front of her chest. “I still can’t believe he would choose prey over a predator like himself,” she says, rolling her eyes. But I shake my head. “He chose a Queen over a Beta; there’s a difference,” I say, repeating Kai’s words and leaning against the car. Vanya closes the gap between us and gets right into my fa

Caterina It’s been three days, and Kai has been in and out of the penthouse without so much as a word uttered to me. I was beginning to feel as lonely here as I did back home with no one to talk to but my wolf, who was yearning for Kai. I’m sitting downstairs on a couch seated in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, reading a book and pecking at my fruit salad in front of me with my eyes momentarily flitting towards Viktor, who was my babysitter today. Kai had Nikolai training more since he’s the youngest. Apparently, he wants him prepared for whatever is heading our way. Sighing, I throw my book down and empty the fruit salad in the trash before I head upstairs. I’m slowly losing my mind here, and it felt like I was growing claustrophobic in this massive penthouse. I pace the bedroom floor, so close to pulling out my hair, when my eyes fall on my pointe shoes hanging in my walk-in. Kai bought some after finding out
Bratva Wolves Collection 15. Viktor
Caterina I hear a knock at my bedroom door and sit up as it opens. For some reason, I expected Kai to be the one who stood there, but I was surprised when I saw Viktor instead. He looked like Kai, piercing blue eyes and huge build, just with darker hair like Konstantin and where Kai had a light beard, Viktor was clean-shaven. He smiles at me, then cocks his head. “Come with me,” he says and walks out of the bedroom again. I frown at this; Viktor has not so much said a word to me, now he wanted me to follow him? Sighing, I slip into my ankle boots and follow the Volkov brother out. He stands by the door, chatting to the other bodyguards when he sees me approach and sends them off. “You’ve been cooped up here for the last three days, so I’m taking you back to the Blood Crest estate for a little bit.” He says out of the blue and I nearly jump up and hug him! I’m dying to get out of this penthouse! But before I cou
Bratva Wolves Collection 16. History
Caterina Viktor removes a set of keys from his jeans pocket and unlocks the massive oak doors. When we entered, I was seriously expecting a cloud of dust to assault my nose, but there was none. The place was impeccably kept as if it was waiting for its masters to return. The decor showed class and elegance, with every piece of art and furniture painstakingly chosen to compliment the other. I look around in awe; this mansion is magnificent. “Like what you see?” Viktor asks as he joins me in the living room. I nod. “It’s… wow,” Is all I could get out, and he chuckles as he walks further into the room. He comes to a stop in front of an intricate fireplace and looks up; this is when I notice the colossal family portrait above it. There were two adults with five young boys; the man was large and imposing, jet back shoulder-length hair and fierce dark brown eyes; three of the boys matched his appearance. The woman was beauti
Bratva Wolves Collection 17. Vanya
Caterina I lost Viktor after a couple of runs around the forest. He’s way faster than I am and is basically a blur when he runs; it didn’t help that I didn’t familiarise myself with his scent either. After a while, I gave up and wandered off on my own. I hear the sounds of a lake and make my way towards it, sniffing the air and listening for any sounds, but when I walk up to the lake, I freeze in my steps. There, having a drink in the lake, was a grey wolf. Its ears perk up when it hears me approach and spin around, growling when it sees me. I take a tentative step backwards but stop as there is something familiar about this wolf, so I inch forward towards it. It showed no signs of backing down, so I shifted back to show it that I meant no harm. The wolf’s ears perk up when it sees me, and then it sits back as it starts to shift as well. Long legs, curvy body, honey-coloured hair and piercing green eyes - Who else would be in

Caterina “So Kai’s position is called a Pakhan, and Konstantin is his Brigadier or second in command?” I asked Viktor, who was currently busy explaining how the hierarchy worked in the Bratva. He nods. “Yes, you’re getting the hang of it. We don’t work according to the entire structure since we’re werewolves, and Kai basically runs legitimate businesses. He refuses to touch drugs, which is something a normal mafia boss would be itching to get their hands into.” He explains as we sit in the powder room area that overlooks Central Park. It’s pretty exciting learning about a different mafia family, and from what Viktor has told me, there is a lot more to it than your average Italian mafia. There’s also much more honour amongst the Volkov family, something I am genuinely not used to. Viktor looks at his wristwatch and sighs. “It’s seven, and I think you’ve learned enough for today, little wolf.” He says and stretches out on the couch. I s

Bratva Wolves Collection Kai and Caterina Epilogue
Kai Nearly fourteen years of the Convergence, with every year being as successful as the previous one. Our packs have lived in harmony for this long, with no wars or antagonising from smaller packs; everything was peaceful. However, as I look down at the RSVP in my hand, I am not sure if it is anger or fear coursing through my veins. After fourteen years of replying NO, the European Five have finally decided to join the Convergence. I have been sending invitations out of courtesy and expected a negative response, but the fact that all of them responded yes has a cold sweat running down my back. I hope it is simply nerves and that, once again, my feelings aren’t right. “What are you thinking of so intently?” The voice of Caterina cuts through the haze of my thoughts. I look up from my desk. I am almost sure that the older she gets, the more beautiful she becomes, and I find myself falling for her all over again on a daily basis. I smile as she walks over to me, wearing a tiny blac
Bratva Wolves Collection Konstantin and Lilith Epilogue
Konstantin I look up at the mansion I used to call home and sigh. After another two years, I have returned empty-handed and with no news. Kaia is still missing, with no word and no sound even in Europe. I know I should simply let it go, that perhaps the fucking witch killed my only daughter the minute she took her, but I cannot give up hope. Not when I promised to bring her back home. She has turned eighteen now, the same age as Kai’s eldest, and I’m not sure what to think. Years spent without her parents and in the grip of a witch who has undoubtedly twisted her mind. I don’t know what to expect anymore; in fact, I don’t know what more to do. The front door opens, and the only one who hasn’t given up on me rushes out to meet me. Her eyes glisten with unshed tears, and I hear her sobbing against my chest. “No more, Kon, please…we need to stop this,” she says, then peers up at me with a heartbroken expression. “You need to come home now.” I shake my head. “I still didn’t find her-”
Bratva Wolves Collection Nikolai and Nova Epilogue
NikolaiI knew as soon as I set my eyes on Nova that she would change the entire trajectory of my life - and I wasn’t wrong. Not only has she changed my life for the better, but she’s added more colour to it. And I don’t mean the whirlwind that is my son, Sage.Every aspect of our lives changed drastically when we discovered that Nova’s womb had been healed and that she was pregnant with our firstborn. Her pregnancy was not an easy one, so after Sage’s birth, we decided to keep it to one child only.Yet as I watch her sleep with one hand on her swollen belly, I wonder where the hell that decision went.“Time to wake up, little Rogue,” I try to coax her awake, but she swats my hand away. “Nooo…” she complains, covering her head with a pillow. “I barely slept last night.”“Bullshit, you went to bed at seven and kept me awake by imitating a chainsaw all damn night. The one who really deserves sleep is me!” I say, ripping the pillow from her face and watching as her face reddens.“That’
Bratva Wolves Collection Dimitri and Arya Short Epilogue - 5 Years Later
DimitriI watch the sun set over Paris and sigh, knowing this would be our final night here. Arya’s paintings and art have become world-renowned, and in that, we haven’t been able to focus much on ourselves. The last few years have been a whirlwind, so much so that we haven’t been able to focus on ourselves or starting a family together. Sure, everyone back home understands, and so do I, but I can’t help but feel a sliver of disappointment at where our lives have led us.I want a family with my mate; I want us to settle down and get our lives together. However, I can’t force this on Arya. But I know that I will need to speak with her about this soon. Even as my wolf knots her each time we make love, nothing has come of it. Is it my fault? Is my body too weak?A head leans against my back. “Hey, Mitya,” came the voice of my angel, alluring as usual. I turn around to face her, about to offer her a fake smile, when I see the tears in her eyes and her bottom lip trembling. “Arya, what-”
Bratva Wolves Collection EPILOGUE - THE CONVERGENCE OF THE FIVE
AryaWe couldn’t do much after Kai’s revelation last night. So now we’re all standing in the Hall of the Five, welcoming guests as if nothing is wrong. So far, I’ve met Alpha Bastien and his two mates, his sister, the beautiful Alpha Azura, Alpha Ryker and his Beta Ruin and Lilith’s half-brother, Alpha Fenriz, unfortunately without his Luna Marina.They all seemed lovely, but Caterina has asked me to not let my guard down, especially after what Kai told us yesterday. Ah, I suppose I should start calling him Alpha Kai from now on, hey?I look around the beautifully decorated hall and smile, knowing the other ladies’ hard work has paid off wonderfully. With its glass ceiling so the moonlight may shine through, the red and black drapes and candles adding to the colour scheme, Autumn flower arrangements and the marble floor with the Five’s symbol delicately embedded in gold.“Everything okay on this side?” Dimitri asks as he walks toward me. He’s looking quite dashing in a custom-made Tom

Arya/“Hey, Arya, are you up yet?”//“Come on, please tell us you’re awake already! It’s noon!”/My eyes flutter open to the voices booming in my head, and I groan, trying to drown them out with a pillow to my head.“Argh, go away!” I exclaim while holding the pillow to my face. “I wanna sleep! Leave me alone!”I hear Dimitri chuckling next to me, and then he pulls the pillow from my head while I can do nothing but protest. “I think the women want your attention, Princess,” he says, shaking his head.“But I’m exhausteeeed!” I pout, folding my arms. “How can they expect me to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed after spending my wedding night with a Volkov?”He laughs again, then gets up and straddles me with a mischievous look in his eyes. I can’t help but peek up at him and run my hands down his perfectly chiselled body.“Hmm,” I say appreciatively, and he rolls his eyes.“Get your ass out of bed, Princess; we have a long day ahead of us,” He says, then plants a kiss on my forehead and

Arya They say a Volkov mating ceremony always ends in at least one death, but as I fall down on Dimitri’s chest after the fifth round, the only death that can be reported is mine. This man is insatiable, truly and wouldn’t let up after he Claimed me with his bite. The bite itself wasn’t painful at all; it felt like a missing piece of my soul being put back. After that, everything felt natural and beautiful, even our animalistic sounds that echoed all around us. The ceremony was beautiful, too; I don’t think I ever cried as much as I did when Caterina read the vows and her prayers. Apparently, ours was her very first ceremony, and it left her in tears as well. And even though I’m no longer human, Dimitri still had a tungsten ring with a black gemstone made for me. Everything is just completely perfect. “What are you thinking about so intently?” Dimitri’s voice cuts through my thoughts, and I look up at him. “Just how perfect everything has been for the last three days,” I say, bre
Bratva Wolves Collection Part 2: Chapter 33
AryaMy heart is full and bursting right now: everyone has accepted me as part of the pack! I must admit that it’s still odd to think of myself as a werewolf or shifter of any kind. I, a once arrogant and proud Mafia princess, accepted into a great family such as this.I must be dreaming.Not only that, but Caterina removed the scars from my face! I nearly passed out from the shock when I saw my reflection! She didn’t even need to do it, since I’ve come to terms with my scars, but seeing my old face made me realise how much I have missed it!Call me vain, but I missed my own beauty. But this time around, I know that I will not be as arrogant as I used to be since every woman standing next to me is exceptionally beautiful. Although right now, I am feeling extremely self-conscious standing naked in front of them as they try to give me advice.“Okay, Arya, I want you to close your eyes and look at your wolf; make eye contact and do not blink. She will know what to do from there,”“Oh, d
Bratva Wolves Collection Part 2: Chapter 32
Dimitri It’s a full moon in two days, and Arya has just woken up after being in transition for five days. During her slumber, everyone took turns keeping her company while I was out. Nova was incredibly overprotective of her, something that I loved and yet became extremely annoyed by. Nikolai and I agreed that Nova would be the best person to train Arya when it came to shifting since Nova’s wolf is newly acquired as well. I had forgotten the feelings of my first shift, so my advice wouldn’t match up to what Arya would feel. Now, as I watch her finishing off her sandwich, I can feel nothing but anxiety coming from her. “Hey, are you okay?” I ask, placing my hand over hers, which seems to be trembling. “What’s wrong?” She peers up at me and gives me a tight smile. “I haven’t seen everyone since the attack at the cabin. I remember being confused, and I think I said something hurtful, so I don’t know how to face them. Do they hate me?” She says, then places both her hands on her lap a
