Caterina

Something is wrong; something is definitely wrong!

“What the fuck is happening, Caterina? Why did Kai tell us to run?!” Nikolai asks while we all head in the direction of the estate.

“He’s trying to protect us from… from Xamnir,” I answer through the link as a barrage of questions hits me simultaneously. They all look at me as if I’ve gone mad.

“Xamnir?! Xamnir appeared?” Konstantin asks.

“Yes! They were talking about a prophecy and… and killing me,” I say, my running coming to a halt as I realise what I had just said.

I’m sure that’s what I heard. Xamnir kept on talking about devouring me as Kai was trying to protect me and rejecting the idea, but I had a feeling that Kai knew this would happen.

He knew about my death and that he would be the one to kill me.

I stop, then shift back and sit on my haunches while holding my knees. If Kai dies while fighting Xamnir, what would be the point of me g

    Kai I’ve failed; I failed miserably even after being confident that I would kill Xamnir. Now he would go after Caterina and devour her heart. He will become a God amongst Gods, and I could do nothing to stop him! What kind of Alpha am I? “Kai…” I hear someone whisper my name, but I see nothing around me but darkness. Is this the place Caterina always saw when she would see my wolf? Is this my own personal Hell where I would live out the rest of my days mulling over all my faults and failings? It would be apt since I have done nothing to protect my pack. “Are you going to be that sorry sack of bones as you greet me?” I hear a familiar voice but dare not look into the face of the person I failed first. Viktor walks towards me with a smile on his face, and I can do nothing but break down in his presence. I fall to my knees, letting out an anguished roar as he wraps his arms around me. “I don’t blame you, b

    Caterina I don’t understand what’s happening at all. Kai is back, but he seems different; that bloodthirstiness always on his scent is gone. In its place is something more primal, more alert and a lot more powerful. But all that amplified as soon as he put that heart to his lips. Kai lets out a painful roar after devouring the heart, and he falls to the ground, gripping his chest. I reach out to touch him, but someone pulls me back by my waist, and when I turn around to see who it is, my heart stops. “Konstantin?!” I exclaim with wide eyes, even more so when my eyes fall on the other brothers. “What… Oh my god!” Crying out, I throw my arms around them and sob, knowing that I will not need to mourn for their deaths. “I saw Xamnir tearing out your hearts! How is this possible?” “I think she had something to do with it,” Dimitri says and gestures behind me to the woman kneeling at Kai’s side, a very familiar-looki

    Caterina Kai walks me back to the edge of the woods and we put on the clothes left before the ritual. “I’ve found out a lot of things while visiting the realm of the dead, including who the real traitor is,” Kai says while he slips on his jeans. I frown as I get into my sundress and heels. "Real traitor? I thought the twins were behind everything?” Kai shakes his head and buckles his belt. “No, they played a minor role in this. The real culprit has been hiding in plain sight, feeding our secrets to Andretti.” He says, then slips his hand into mine. “I’ll let my brothers know to meet us back home.” We walk the rest of the way to the car in silence, odd since we literally just had a life or death experience together. Everything feels a bit anticlimactic - we just went through Hell and now we’re waltzing hand in hand back to the penthouse like nothing happened. Like Kai didn’t have his heart ripped out by an old god.

    Caterina I can’t believe we just had a fight right after we almost lost one another for good. But I know if I stayed around him right now, the fight would just become worse. Thank God for Konstantin showing up when he did because a lot more would have come out of my mouth if he didn’t. Was I wrong for acting out as I did? He had no right to withhold information about my parents from me but did it anyway. “The thing with Kai that you have to understand is that he will always do what he thinks is best, even if you don’t see it that way.” Konstantin breaks the silence as we drive away from the estate. I scoff and shake my head. “Even so, he had no right to keep it from me,” I say with pursed lips, and he chuckles. “To be fair, Caterina, I am the one who found out about your parents. When I told Kai about them, he said he would keep it from you because you passed out with a bloody nose on the night of Viktor’s pyre.” He says, keep

    Caterina Kai doesn’t even look at me but glares at his brother. “You said ten minutes,” he growls, to which Konstantin shrugs. “Lost track of time, brother,” he says, putting the liquor away, but Kai stops him. “Leave that out; Nikolai and Dimitri are here.” As soon as Kai says this, the brothers silently appear behind him. How the heck do they do that? I didn’t even hear them enter the club! Also, did Konstantin tell Kai we would be here over their private link? This pisses me off somehow, but I let it go. The brothers walk over to Konstantin, who puts tumblers in front of them and fills them with the same amber liquid. “Since Kon likes to waste time, I thought we could just come here.” He says, downing the drink without so much as a jump to his eyebrow. Ah, so this answers my earlier question, then. “When I died, I met mother and Viktor in the realm of the dead; they had a lot to tell me.” He says. A rumble echoes th

    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

    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

    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

  • 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

    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-”

    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’

    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-”

    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

    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

    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
