Arya

I didn’t see Dimitri again after I sent those cringe texts, and he didn’t even respond after my last one. What the hell possessed me to send him texts about the stars? He must think I’m crazy now, right? The fact that I have scars going down my face doesn’t leave him running for the hills, but talking about stars does.

What the hell.

I walk out to my balcony and welcome the cold night air over my skin. After five hours of nonstop painting in my studio, I needed a breather. As much as painting is my beloved hobby, I can only do so much; my hand cramps up, and my brain becomes mush after a while. The cold air usually helps with that.

It’s getting chillier out, but I couldn't stay inside as my room felt too stuffy. It felt too empty with all the materialistic shit in there; I should really consider donating the things I don’t use. Maybe someone else will have better use for my 50 pairs of Jimmy Choos.

Leaning over the stone balustrade, I wonder if I should text him again to ask how

    DimitriSeeing Arya tonight did more than make me forget; it made me formulate a plan in my head. The paint on her forehead brought out a side of her that I didn’t know about, and I absolutely loved it.I would have stayed with her all night if Nikolai didn’t call me. As I watch him down an entire bottle of Jim Beam while he explains what happened, I could have punched him for calling me back over some stupid shit.“You know, wallowing in here won’t help you much. You need to speak with her.”It seems my little brother has a jealous streak in him when it comes to his mate. But then again, Nikolai has always been hard-headed and stubborn. He probably;y didn’t even give Nova a chance to explain what he saw.“Anyway, Kai probably wants to speak with us first thing, so we should get some shut-eye, or at least try to. Yes, this is me chasing you out of my penthouse, so fuck off, please.” I say as gently as I can, but he seems to get the picture. He needs to sort this out with Nova before

    AryaAfter not being able to sleep last night, being on this motorcycle behind Dimitri is waking me right up and making me feel all hot and bothered. The vibration of the bike, coupled with his heady Cedarwood scent is driving me crazy and leading me to imagine all sorts of scenarios.God, I need to stop this. After a while, I wondered where he was taking me; he didn’t exactly elaborate on that while I just hopped on behind him. Hopefully, he’s not taking me somewhere to get murdered. We’re still in the city, however, it seems he’s heading towards Manhattan - his playground.A few minutes later, he brought us to a stop in front of the building I always begged Dante and my father to bring me to, but neither have.The Met. He’s brought me to The Metropolitan Museum of Art!I jump off from behind him and remove the helmet, staring in disbelief at the large building in front of me. Then I look back at him with wide eyes, unable to form my thoughts into coherent sentences.“How… How did y

    AryaI couldn’t turn back after walking away from him, even though every inch of me was dying to lead him up to my bedroom. There’s a time and a place, and I already made a fool of myself by slipping onto the bike in front of him. He didn’t exactly protest since his cock was already hard when I wrapped my legs around him. It shouldn’t have given me the confidence boost it did, but when I felt his hardness against me, I actually felt attractive again.Like Dimitri actually finds me beautiful.Today was a day of plenty of firsts, and I cannot wait to see what else is in store for Dimitri and me. His words, his actions, the gentle way he touches me - it all makes me feel special and wanted. The way he grips my throat when he’s about to kiss me, that intense feeling when he breathes onto my neck.I can tell by the look in his eyes that he means every word he says, even when he calls me beautiful. With a smile on my face, I walk into my darkened room and reach for the light switch, but b

    DimitriIt’s been about a week since I last saw Arya, and she hasn’t been responding to my texts either. We eventually got Nova back from that cunt of an Alpha, but Kai has had me on hectic runs around New York and halfway around the country before we got her back. From morning to evening without so much as a break in between, but at least he’s given me this weekend off. Well, at least until Sunday when Nikolai and I have to go to visit the Horsemen in DC. You can bet your ass that I’m going to use this time to see Arya; fuck, I’ve missed her.I’ve already let her father know that I would be coming around to see his daughter later again; I think the bastard likes the fact that I’ve been coming around so often. Maybe he thinks that I’ll ask for her hand soon, well fuck I would anyway. Just not now.After my last drop, I decided to visit her. It’s about 9 pm, and she’s still not answering my texts. So I’ve let her father know that I’ll be dropping by to say goodnight to her and that I

    AryaI don’t know why being in Dimitri’s arms makes me feel safe, but it does. It’s confusing to me since I’ve known him less than a month but it feels like I’ve known him my entire life. I want to trust him, I want him to protect me and tell me everything is going to be okay. Right now, I don’t want to be anywhere else but his side. Does this make me sound crazy or dependent? I don’t know this man from a bar of soap, I’ve known him less than I’ve been acquainted with any guard back home. And yet….“Hmm, what are you thinking about so intently?” Dimitri asks as he wraps the large fluffy towel around my shivering body. I look up at him and shake my head as a ghost of a smile plays on my lips. “I was thinking how safe and protected you make me feel even though I don’t know you that well,” I say, then lay my head down on his chest. “Gosh, I sound so needy.”Dimitri wraps his arms around my waist and holds me tightly before he places a soft kiss on my head.“You don’t sound needy at all

    AryaI open my eyes to a muscled wall of black and white tattoos on tanned skin, confusion making its way into my head. Where the hell am I, and why do I feel so damn comfortable? As the scent of Cedarwood pulls me under, everything that happened last night suddenly fasts forwards through my mind. After everything, Dimitri took care of me; he wants to protect me and keep me safe. The thought alone makes my heart sing.However, I don’t remember falling asleep in his arms, so how the hell did I get here? I peer up at Dimitri’s face through my lashes and smile at how peaceful he looks. His jaw is slack, lips slightly parted and that permanent frown seems to be ironed out of his brow.He’s so fucking gorgeous.But then that frown forms again, and he thrashes his head wildly to the side and murmurs something intelligible. His hand on my hip has now balled into a fist and a noise similar to a low growl emits from his chest. Beads of sweat have already formed on his forehead, and they are

    Arya“What are the names of your family members?” I ask when we pull up in front of a mansion.He smiles when I ask this. “My eldest brother is Kai, he’s our leader, and it’s his birthday today, his wife is Caterina. Then there’s Konstantin and his wife Lilith, my youngest brother, Nikolai and his…girlfriend Nova.”“You only have brothers?” I ask with a frown, and he nods. “Wow, I would have loved a brother growing up.” As much as I loved being an older sister, I would have liked having an older brother who could protect me if needed.As if Dimitri can sense my nervous demeanour, he takes my hand and leads me inside a mansion smaller than my father’s but a hell of a lot grander. I didn’t expect his family to have their very own hidden little town; it makes me wonder how they’ve come to be so well respected.“I’ll be right there with you,” he says, snapping me out of my thoughts when we come to a stop in front of the large oak door. “If you need to leave, tell me right away, and we’ll

    Dimitri/“Are you sure she’s okay? Do you need me?”//“No, ‘Mitri, she’s okay. She just passed out; I think it might be the heat.”//“Okay, but let me know if you need me.”//“Thanks, brother.”/I know he’s talking bullshit because it’s not even hot outside, but I let him be. He would have told me if it was something he wanted me to know. I do hope Nova is okay, though. As for Konstantin and Lily - all I can do is sigh right now.I’ve just shown Arya the inside of the mansion, and now we’re walking the grounds. She seems to be at peace here; I can tell by the look on her face and the slight smile playing on her lips.“Penny for your thoughts?” I say, placing my hand on the small of her back. She breathes in and looks up at the late afternoon sky, then comes to a stop in front of me. “I would love to live somewhere out here like this; away from the city, away from Famiglia bullshit and expectations.”I pull her closer to me and lace my fingers with hers. “That can still happen, you kn

    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
