Dimitri and Nikolai: Rejecting Fate Part 2: Chapter 16
AryaI was right about Nova; she’s the sweetest, most genuine person I have ever met. There’s no hostility or fake niceties from her at all, not like with other people. When she speaks to me, she actually looks into my eyes and seems to not even notice the scars on my face. I want to be friends with her, but I hope my negativity hasn’t pushed her away.But now, I have something else to take care of, and as I look up at our mansion, I steel my heart and walk inside. I have decided to speak with my father first as he needs to know about my plans, then I’ll face my mother and sister. Spending the weekend with Dimitri and being around his powerful family has done something to me; I hope that confidence shows in me now.Not only that, but something occurred to me while I lay in bed alone last night, something that I didn’t want to be true, but I knew it was. Something that equally broke and hardened my heart. I need to put a stop to it now that I know the truth and Dante’s words make their

Dimitri“They mistook Nova for Arya after she left the Falcone mansion this afternoon.”An accident - one that could have resulted in Arya’s deathHow could something like this happen the second Nikolai and I step out of New York?! Why did this happen?! I watch as Nikolai’s soul leaves his body the minute he opens that hospital room door, and guilt pools into my heart. His mate got harmed because of me, because they mistook her for mine. They both have blonde hair, so I suppose it’s true but still… How do I face Nikolai after this?“Dimitri,” Kai’s voice cuts through my thoughts, and I look up into his eyes. He’s angry because this happened, but I have a feeling that he knows more than he’s letting on.“You know something,” I say, and he nods.“This wasn’t because Arya is supposedly taking over; Dante DiMaggio orchestrated the hit.”When he mentions that name, confusion hits me right in the gut, and I take a step back. “DiMaggio? How? He’s supposed to be locked up in Falcone’s baseme
Dimitri and Nikolai: Rejecting Fate Part 2: Chapter 18
Dimitri Arya fell asleep almost immediately after the shower. Even as she tried to act brave and confident, today was an emotionally draining day for her. In the short period of time I’ve known her, she’s always been gentle, so the fact that she’s taken two lives in the space of 24 hours still has to register with her. She will need me when she’s realised that she now has blood on her hands. /“Mitri, are you there?”/ The voice of Nikolai comes through the mind link. /“Yeah, I am. How's Nova? Is everything okay?”/ /“She’s awake and healing, so things are looking positive for now. Listen, Nova told me something about Arya, something she picked up on.”/ My heart drops when he says this, but I tell him to go on even as I dread to know what that little librarian has discovered. /“Fear, thick and suffocating, was rippling off of Arya when she went to drop her off at home. It was almost as if she feared going home for some reason.”/ I sigh, pulling Arya closer to me and kissing her fo
Dimitri and Nikolai: Rejecting Fate Part 2: Chapter 19
Arya It’s been almost a week to the day that I killed my father and Dante, nearly a week since I took a life without a wavering heart. And almost a week since the blood won’t wash from my hands. I see it as clear as day, but nobody else does. It stains my hands, even as I eat, even as I touch Dimitri and stroke his face. I don’t know how to get rid of it; no matter how much I scrub my hands raw, the stains remain as if it has soaked deep into my skin; my tattooed shame. Dimitri said that it still has to hit me, that the repercussions for taking a life is each death chipping at more of your soul. He’s done it for years, and it’s still not an easy thing to do, whether the person deserved it or not. Did that advice help? Hell no, it didn’t, but I needed to hear it. If taking a life is still a difficult feat for an Enforcer, then perhaps my guilt is normal. “Mistress, Mr Volkov is here,” one of my men tells me, and I permit him to allow entry. As much as I wanted this to be Dimitri,
Dimitri and Nikolai: Rejecting Fate Part 2: Chapter 20
AryaNova’s call the other day was to reach out to me and ask me to join her and the other two Volkova ladies for a weekend away before her birthday and wedding. I said yes in the hopes of making me forget about everything going on, yet as I sat in the SUV on the way to the cabin, the space between the silence was stifling.Something felt off, and the conversation was extremely forced. Even Nova didn’t talk as much as she usually does. I wonder if I should ask Nova about it; would she know? Ah, maybe I’m just imagining things!After packing, I inhale to calm my heart before setting off for Nova’s room. She’s the only one I would call a friend right now, and I need to talk to someone before I scream. Breathing out, I knock on the bedroom door and crack it open a little bit. Nova smiles when she sees me and beckons me over.“Settling in?” She asks, closing the drawers and looking my way.“I am, or rather I’m trying to. Thank you for including me in this,” I ask as my eyes involuntarily
Dimitri and Nikolai: Rejecting Fate Part 2: Chapter 21
AryaKai is gripping my neck so hard that I feel myself losing consciousness. Why…why would he do this to me?! Did I do something wrong?! I grab his hand, and I realise that they’re both slick with blood, and my heart drops…did he kill someone? Is he going to kill me as well?!Before I can even think of anything else, he lifts me higher, then throws me to the side, and I go flying. I anticipate a hard, painful landing that will probably break a few bones and am surprised to find another body breaking my fall.“Keep your head down, Arya,” Lilith whispers, her eyes not leaving Kai, and when I turn around, I see Caterina approaching him. “Why are you here?” Caterina asks in a tone of voice I never would have expected a woman like her to possess. She is merely standing there, but I can tell she’s on the defensive - but why?“Why is Kai here?” I ask Lilith while wiping the blood from my hands.“That’s not Kai,” is all she says, and I see her eyes turn to silver right in front of me…the ex

DimitriI have to do this; if I don’t, then I’ll regret it for the rest of my life. He ruined my life. For over ten years I could do nothing as my body moved, and I betrayed my family, and now he has led me to betray my mate.Daniil Volkov needs to die, and tonight I’m going to kill him.Grabbing a new set of silver daggers and Berettas, I strap them to my holster and am just about to walk out when my elevator opens and Kai steps inside. He sees me dressed up in war garb and sighs.“Where are you off to, little brother?” he asks, walking over to me and crossing his arms. I have a feeling he knows what I’m about to do. That bastard Nikolai must have told him something is up.“I’m ending this,” I say, walking past him, but he grabs my forearm so hard that I can feel the bones about to fracture. “Kai-”“Are you leaving the pack?” he asks, and my head whips to face him, but he’s not even looking my way. “What? Why would I leave the pack?” I ask incredulously.Kai turns his head and meets
Dimitri and Nikolai: Rejecting Fate Part 2: Chapter 23
Arya “It was me.” My world came to a screeching halt at those words. The fact that Dimitri is a werewolf doesn’t even affect me anymore; those three little words drowned out the impact they could have had. “It was me.” Every little sweet nothing whispered to me has been erased, every promise, every touch…they were all gone and replaced by anger and heartbreak. I can’t even see Dimitri’s face clearly in my mind anymore; everything about him has become a blur, and the mere memory of him has been distorted. Yet, as I watched him walking out of my bedroom, every part of me wanted to scream for him to stay. To hold me tight and tell me everything was going to work out, that we can get past this and we’ll be okay. I was so naive. It’s been a few days since our stand off in my bedroom, and Nova won’t stop calling me. I suppose she’s a werewolf as well since she mentioned ‘Goddess’ so many times. For someone who hates lies, Nova told quite a few. I really don’t know what to make of a

Dimitri and Nikolai: Rejecting Fate 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
Dimitri and Nikolai: Rejecting Fate 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-”
Dimitri and Nikolai: Rejecting Fate 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’
Dimitri and Nikolai: Rejecting Fate 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-”
Dimitri and Nikolai: Rejecting Fate 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
Dimitri and Nikolai: Rejecting Fate 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
Dimitri and Nikolai: Rejecting Fate 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
