“Any news?” I ask as I step into the living room where Kai, Cat, Nikolai and Marle are seated. Kai was now dressed in black cargo pants and no shirt, and Cat changed out of her bloody dress.
The witch looks at me and nods. “Morganna wants to trade Kai’s child for the one housing the entity.” She says, confirming Cat’s earlier assumption.
“We don’t expect you to do this, Kon, so we won’t even ask it of you,” Kai says, then gets up and walks towards me. “We’ll find another way to get my child back.”
I shake my head. “What if there is no other way, Kai? I don’t want your firstborn to die on account of me!”
What the fuck are we going to do?! We can’t leave his child in the hands of the enemy, and we can’t trade my daughter either. We’re literal sitting ducks right fucking now!
“There’s still tr

Bratva Wolves Collection 35. Kai's Mate
LilyI look down at the two perfect beings I’ve birthed and feel tears running down my face. To think both of them are mine and Konstantin’s… that after all this time…Did Stefan try to fool me by saying the other was his, or did he not know? I honestly cannot say, but the witch inside says that the blonde woman wants one of them back. Before I knew they were both babies and not one and a demon spawn, I wanted to give it away. Why would I want to keep a manifestation of evil?But things are different now, and even if my little girl has been injected with whatever Stefan put inside of her, I will still love her fiercely. We’ll take on whatever comes afterwards; I’m sure Konstantin feels the same way.However, just because my body has healed after all the abuse does not mean that my mind has. Whenever I doze off, I wake up in a cold sweat and imagine myself back on those chains with Stefan using m
Bratva Wolves Collection 36. Lost Years
Konstantin“WHY AM I IN HERE?! KAI! KON! GET ME OUT!”We’ve been listening to Dimitri’s screams over and over for the last hour, with neither of us knowing how to start with this. We’re used to torture, but now we’ll be torturing our own brother.“We should get this over with, Kai; time is running out,” I say, referring to his missing child.He nods. Then removes the silver knife from his holster and walks in with me right behind. Dimitri is naked from the waist up and shackled against the walls in the silver anchor chains; we’ve also removed the wolfsbane planters for now but left the humidifier in here.“Ready to talk, brother?” Kai asks, walking towards him with the silver knife.“How many times do I have to say this? I don’t know what you’re talking about!” He repeats again.I sigh and put a hand on Kai’s shoulder
Bratva Wolves Collection 37. After Effects
Konstantin We’ve taken Dimitri back to his penthouse, but we have him tied up with silver. Even if his disposition is to be believed, there is no way we can trust him now. I don’t even think we can repair that trust. Yeah, I am aware that Dimitri might have been under the influence of the parasite, but the point remains… he never trusted us to help him. “We need to figure out what we’re going to do from now on,” I say as the two of us walk to the SUV with Marle in tow. “The longer your child stays away-” “I know that!” Kai roars, denting the side of the SUV with a punch. “I fucking know.” He then leans his arms against the hood and rests his head. “I don’t know what the fuck we’re going to do, Kon.” I let out a sigh and walked to him, placing my hand on his shoulder until he turned around to face me. “We’ll figure something out; we always do,” I say. “There is something we can try,” Marle suddenly speaks up, and both o

Konstantin“Are you okay?” Kai asks after I walk downstairs for a breather. I just went to check on Lily, but she was passed out with the babies.I give him a tight smile as I enter the kitchen. “I’ll learn to bear it, don’t worry. I knew the consequences and would do it again in a heartbeat.” I say and take a bottle of beer from the refrigerator. I’ll have to work through it, I know. This first time surprised me, but I’ll be ready for it next time.I think.“Marle is busy contacting the blonde bitch so we can do the deal. Apparently, all she needs is a lock of the baby’s hair to create an image of it. The image will disappear as soon as the bitch runs away with what she wants.” Kai says, thankfully changing the subject.“Do we trust the bitch not to come after us when she discovers she’s been fooled?” I ask, seeing a giant loophole in that plan.
Bratva Wolves Collection 39. Trade Off
KaiWe’ve collected Kon’s SUV, and now we’re on our way to meet the woman who has been behind everything that has gone wrong with my pack and family. She influenced the witches who helped the Sable Hides take out the Silver Sun pack and hide Caterina from me. She’s the reason Dimitri is now a lost soul with no recollection of what he has done for the last twelve years.And the main reason we have now lost our trust in him.After having a long talk with Marle, I already knew what needed to be done; how we’ll finally be rid of the blight on our pack. Kon won’t like it, but fuck it, the entire pack’s safety is at stake, and as Alpha, I need to make the tough decisions.“We’ve arrived,” I say and stop the SUV. Marle nods at me, then turns to face Kon.“Both you and Kai will do the exchange; listen to whatever your brother instructs you to do. It’s imper
Bratva Wolves Collection 40. Pure Light
LilyI don’t think I had ever felt the peace that settled in my heart when I opened my eyes and saw Konstantin lying next to me. After everything I went through at the hands of Stefan, he still saw me as his mate and had to rescue me. I know I’m tainted goods, but the look in Konstantin’s eyes when he sees me says different.To think, only a few hours prior, I was ready to die alongside my child; now, both of us have been given a second chance. I’m not letting anything happen to my children or me, not after what I have been through.Konstantin stirs and breathes out a sigh. I don’t know why, but this little action makes me smile, so I draw my hand to his face and cup his cheek. How am I so lucky to be here again? Laying next to my mate and our children feels like I have died and gone to heaven. Or perhaps I am still chained up in Stefan’s dungeon, and this is all a dream?I wouldn’t put that cruel
Bratva Wolves Collection 41. Visiting Dimitri
Konstantin“You sure about this?” I ask Kai as I press the elevator button. My brother has had a bad feeling about Dimitri since we left here last night, and he couldn’t keep quiet about it. Lily told me to go with him to see what it could be about, or we would not hear the end of it.“You can’t tell me you don’t think this has all ended a bit too easily,” he says, keying in the code to Dimitri’s penthouse and gritting his teeth.No, I didn’t want to fucking think about it. We’ve been through so fucking much already, and I didn’t want to dig up more problems. I wanted to remain blissfully ignorant until I couldn’t take it anymore.“It’s always something,” I grumble and lean back against the railing with my arms crossed. Damn it, give me a break!“You’re right; it is always fucking something with our family and pack. But as the Alph

Lily“Fuck, Konstantin, calm down. It’s just a few people! They’ll be fine!” I say through gritted teeth for the tenth time.“I don’t trust ANY of those sons of bitches around my fucking children!” He replies, not letting me near the twins’ wooden cribs.I growl and pinch the bridge of my nose. “Move the fuck away or so help me….” I trail off and feel Kai standing behind us, chuckling. “Kai, please tell your brother to move away from the cribs.”He walks inside, and I turn around, immediately melting at the huge Alpha with a tiny baby in his arms. Little Kira has him completely wrapped around her little finger at three weeks old; it doesn’t help that she looks exactly like Caterina, just with the Volkov blonde hair.As usual, we had to wait for a full moon to do the Children’s Blessing; however, I am already back in the pack.

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
Bratva Wolves Collection Part 2: Chapter 34
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
