Nikolai

Nova walks away from me with no hesitation or hurry in her step. She’s not expecting me to run after her, but I want to; I want to fight for this relationship, but I feel like the only thing I do and say are the wrong things.

I breathe out a sigh and turn around, ready to face whatever my brother has to say to us.

“...What the fuck is that supposed to mean, Kai? How is this supposed to work?” I catch the remnants of Konstantin’s rant and see him pacing the floor. Whatever Kai just told him has him highly pissed off. I think we’re all pissed off at Kai in some way.

“What’s going on?” I ask, walking up to them. Konstantin’s eyes are silver, Dimitri has his arms crossed, looking despondent, and Kai is leaning over the counter looking at us all. The women are standing off to the side and are wearing equally shell-shocked expressions. “Did someone die?”

Konstantin scoffs. “Perfect choice of words, little brother,” he says.

“There’s no need to be fucking dramatic, Konstantin-”

    NovaI fall down on Nikolai’s chest, trying to catch my breath and feel his arms constrict around me. The fact that we just had sex hit me like a ton of bricks, and now my face is heating up as I remember the words that came out of my mouth.“Hey, little Rogue,” Nikolai teases and kisses the side of my head. “There’s no reason to get shy.”“Says the one who never gets shy!” I say, burying my face in his chiselled chest or trying to. He chuckles as I say this, holding me even closer to him. I don’t know what possessed me to come to Nikolai’s room last night; I think it had something to do with everything that happened at the cabin. I’ve missed him, missed being in his arms, but the lies and violence from today just bubbled over into my need to be held. I wanted him, but I wanted him to apologise… oh Goddess, and now he has.“Nova,” he chuckles when I let out a self-deprecating groan as the memory of me riding Nikolai comes flooding back. “Hey, please don’t turn away from me. I’m sorr

    NikolaiNova just shut everyone up with her words, and before she hit the ground, I caught her and held her in my arms. I look up at my brothers, everyone is pissed off at my mate for calling them out, but I have no way of explaining how she knew all their secrets.“Nikolai,” I look down, and my eyes grow wide at the sight of the third-eye opening on Nova’s forehead. The direwolf Nova is back, and she smiles at me before she lifts up from the floor to face everyone.She shoots Caterina an apologetic look. “I’m sorry, Goddess, I broke my promise to you. However, I fear something worse might have happened to Nova if I didn’t stop her in time.” She explains.Caterina takes a step toward Nova. “How did she know all those things, Nova? How could she see our lies?” She asks.Nova sighs and crosses her arms. “Nova is an extremely passionate empath and can feel when something is not right with someone, when their scent is off and when they’re trying to hide something. This is basically how he

    NovaNikolai and I are walking the woods/forest area behind the Volkov mansion with him relaying what took place at the pack meeting. It seems as though the witch and my wolf have a bad history together, and I actually can’t wait to find out what it is. I never trusted the witch to begin with, but it was not my place to say anything. “So Alpha Kai isn’t mad at me, then?” I ask. As much as I loved saying my piece, Alpha Kai still scares the bejeezus out of me.“Nah, he’s cool with everything. He even apologised to me for forcing me to lie to you; I think he wants to apologise to you as well,” he says, then holds my hand up to his face and kisses my fingers.“He doesn’t need to apologise to me after what I did today, trust me,” I say, shaking my head. “In fact, he never needs to speak to me again, if that’s fine. Alpha Kai scares me shitless.” Nikolai bursts out laughing and wraps his arms around me from behind, burying his face in the nape of my neck. “Oh, come on, really? Kai has a

    NikolaiWhen I came to see Alpha Cain after Nova’s accident, this new bar lady was working; she didn’t see me or catch my scent, but I knew who it was right away.Fucking Vanya.Why the fuck was she hiding out in a pack we were on good terms with? This can’t be good for anyone, especially not for Alpha Cain. There’s a reason she’s planted herself here, and I think that reason is Nova.“Hello, Vanya, long time no see,” Kai says as he approaches us and crosses his arms. The double irises are prominent, and they still unnerve me when I look at them. Vanya squirms in my grasp; once upon a time, she would have put me on my ass, but not anymore. I didn’t get the nickname ‘Ripper’ by being soft, did I?“A-Alpha Kai!” she stutters and tries to pull my hand from around her neck. “Please, let me go! I’ve done nothing!” Kai growls and stalks towards her, so I take a step back, and his hand replaces mine at her throat. He slams her against the wall of liquor, and she screams out as the glass pie

    NovaIt’s Monday morning, my last Monday as a Lorelei. A lazy smile occupies my face as my mind goes back to what Nikolai did to me on the breakfast nook table. Goddess, he had to carry me upstairs because I couldn’t walk straight again.He’s left for the day because he’s collecting our belongings from the cabin with Alpha Kai tagging along. They’re also having a meeting with only the brothers present. It’s apparently with regards to what he learned about Vanya as he ate her heart. Nikolai said he would tell me the result if he felt I needed to know, other than that, he can’t tell me more.I understand, though; they’re Russian Mafia, and I don’t need to know everything.Today I plan to do absolute jack and just laze around for a change. I hated to sit down idly and do nothing back in the day, but after everything I have been through, I think I deserve some fucking downtime.Of course, Fate had different plans for me today.Just as I am about to doze off, I get hit in the face with a p

    NikolaiKai and I had just cleaned out the cabin when we spotted the hulking figure of Vladimir pacing the spot where he and Kai fought. He’s come to meet with Kai about something but wouldn’t tell him what it was.“Are you sure about this?” I ask Kai when we approach, and he nods.“Use your nose, little brother, and tell me what you smell,” he says, his eyes flashing red.I calm my mind and focus on the scent Vladimir is emitting, or rather, trying not to. The fucking intimidation is there, but he’s using it to mask everything else, and when I really focus, I can smell it.“Fuck, it smells like rotting meat and heroin; not to mention the fear and anxiety,” I say in disbelief and finally believe Kai’s words. This wolf is a fucking goner; there’s nothing left in him but his overpowering intimidation.Kai smiles and nods. “Exactly; he’s no fucking match for me,” he says. Vladimir looks up at us and immediately lets out a low growl with his eyes flashing double crimson irises.“You reach

    NovaI’m staring at myself in the floor-length mirror of my walk-in closet with nothing but a silk nightgown wrapped around my naked body. It’s Wednesday; it’s the day Nikolai finally claims me as his.7 pm now - Nikolai has been out with his brothers one a final run together before the ceremony, and I’ve been stuck inside all day. Not that I mind at all, though. I love being alone, especially when I’m feeling this way. An anxious, nervous, excited mess all rolled into one.“Is there a reason you’re staring at yourself like that, little Rogue?” Came the voice of the man I had just been thinking about. I turn around and raise my eyebrow at him.“I thought it’s bad luck for the bride to see the groom on their wedding day?” I say.Nikolai chuckles and walks toward me. “If you believe in that shit,” he says, wrapping his arms around me from behind and kissing my neck. “I don’t believe in luck, little Rogue; we make our own luck.”I can’t help but smile at his words. Even if he did call t

    Nova There’s a black altar situated in front of a gushing waterfall and lake; on top of the altar is a thick woven red rope, black and red candles with obsidian crystals. A simple black blanket is placed to the left of the altar, undoubtedly where Nikolai would claim me. Marle indicates for us to stand in front of her, and when we do, she offers us familiar smiles and stands with her palms up, facing the sky. “Tonight, we’ve come to witness and bless this union between two souls that have been fated since their birth. Two hearts which will beat in synchronicity from this day forward, two beings becoming one now forevermore.” Marle starts, and then she takes both Nikolai and my left hands in hers, placing them on top of one another. “Nikolai, Nova, *these are the hands of your best friend, young, strong and full of love for you as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow and forever. These are the hands that will work alongside yours as you build your future together. These ar

    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
