Lily

It’s been days since Stefan violated me in the worst possible way, days since I’ve felt his slimy touch or smelled his disgusting scent.

The lust-filled fog is slowly lifting from my mind, and as it does, shame settles deep in my bones. Why am I allowing myself to be violated like this? I was Konstantin’s most trusted second-in-command! How…

Stefan’s words make their way into my head… what I truly am and why I am powerless to resist him when he uses me. The reason I have no scent and why the Vega pack rejected me.

I curl up into a ball, and a sob wrecks through my body. This is all my fault, my child, Konstantin’s first born, the both of us will die as soon as I give birth to Stefan’s monstrosity inside me. I can feel it clawing its way in my belly and sucking the energy right out of my soul.

Just like it’s snake of a father.

Suddenly I jerk awake and feel a famili

    Konstantin “So, what made you decide to come back in here?” I finally ask Kai when we walk the path to the mansion. I know how the guilt ate at him after what happened, so seeing him here is a shock in itself. He shrugs and exhales. “It was time, wouldn’t you say?” He says, looking up at the place we used to call home. “Caterina is about to have my child; we need a base of support from the entire pack instead of living right in the middle of New York away from everyone.” I understand this; as amazing as our penthouses are, it's not exactly a perfect place to raise children. At least here, they’ll be able to shift and run around as they please. “But how the fuck did you flip that switch so easily? You hated the place,” I say. Kai shakes his head and chuckles. “I never hated our home, Kon, just what I did in it. Speaking to mother after Xamnir killed me helped a lot more than I thought.” I nod; he did mention seeing my dead brother and mother after the werewolf god killed him a few

    KonstantinFenriz shakes his head. “I don’t know if it’s such a good idea. Your mate will be here alone, and she is so close to her due date already.” He says, looking at Kai with a raised eyebrow.“Dimitri and Konstantin will be here-”“Excuse the fuck out of me? Do you really think I’ll stay here when we might have a step up in this?” I exclaim as soon as Kai says this bullshit.Kai’s chest rumbles as he tries to contain a growl and sighs. “Fine. For fuck sake. Let me speak with Caterina about this.” He then takes off towards the mansion, and I can hear him cursing all the way.Fenriz chuckles as he watches Kai with an amused look on his face. “I should mention that since Caterina is his mate, he will not lash out at her or do anything to harm the child.” He says, and I can see Kai turn his head slightly.“Those wives were just that;

    Konstantin“Lilith’s wolf spoke with you? How is that possible?” Fenriz asks after I tell them what happened.I shrug. “I don’t know how it’s possible. Maybe it has something to do with our Mate Bond? She hasn’t rejected it or been forced to reject it.” I say while leaning against the door in Kai’s study.It's only Kai, Fenriz and Zephyr present. Dimitri is holding down the fort in Billionaire’s Row, and Caterina’s feeling too tired to be here with us. It is understandable since she’s carrying the child of an Alpha God and nearing her due date.“But she disappeared in a cloud of green smoke just as she was about to tell me what Stefan is,” I say, and I can still hear my wolf’s sad whine.I see a frown forming on Zephyr’s face when I say this. “Got something to add, Z?” I ask.He looks up at me. “He stinks of sulp

    Another woman will suffer at my hand because of my father; another bride will be dead before she can birth a child for the beast inside of me.I can feel him stir as I approach my estate; he knows she’s waiting inside, and it angers me. After the senseless death of my third bride, I vowed never to take another woman, and if that meant the end of the Vega bloodline, then so be it.Another woman cannot die because of this beast; I won’t allow it.My father says this union will do the Vega pack good since we can extend our reach, but I know he’s only interested in the power it will bring. The decrepit mansion he was in is just for show; my father is greedy and wants to make money at all costs.“Fenrisúlfr,” Andreas calls me by the birthname I hate. My father named me after a monstrous wolf-god of Norse mythology aided in my self-hate.This beast only knows how to kill, maim and murder young women, and the self-depr

    KonstantinIf I pace this room any more than I have, there will be a fucking dent in the concrete. “Are you fucking sure?” I ask my brother, who has finally decided to reveal what the old Alpha told him.“Why would I lie?” he scowls while crossing his arms.I stop walking and look at him. “Okay, then why not tell Fenriz this as well? Isn’t this something you think he needs to be aware of?” I ask, still not understanding my brother’s logic.“The old Alpha asked me not to tell his son about this as it will distract him from his current duties,” Kai says. I think he’s referring to the newest wife Fenriz will be killing.“So we’re doing this without his help, now that we know exactly what we’re up against?” I exclaim. We need Fenriz now more than ever; actually, we need all the fucking help we can get.Kai sighs and pinches the bridge of hi

    LilyI take in my new surroundings and frown; what is this?It’s been about a week since Konstantin and my brother tried to breach the border and failed. Since then Stefan has been pleasant towards me, he doesn’t even touch me or try to scent me into submission.I know that this means something big is happening because there’s no way Stefan would just stop his abuse towards me. For the last few months, he’s been in here religiously, taking what he wanted and then leaving.So why has he stopped?The uncertainty is making my stomach churn and I have been on edge this entire time. I know that I should relax or calm down for the sake of the babies, but I can’t help this. Something is going to happen, I’m sure of it!Now this? Moving me into a different, more spacious room with two maids and someone to help me? What exactly is Stefan planning?A knock on the door and someone

    KonstantinI step into my club and breath out an annoyed sigh. It is such a fucked up thing knowing that even as Lily is out there have fuck knows what done to her, I have to go about my day as usual. Yeah, I get it, we’re Bratva, and the show must go on but fuck. I hate it.Zephyr walks into my office and starts giving me the rundown of things. From what he’s telling me, I gather that things have been running smoothly. Apparently, there’s a new bout of regulars in from Hell’s Kitchen, and they’ve been itching to meet me, especially the Alpha.“Did they say what they wanted?” I ask.Zephyr shakes his head. “Nope, but from what I’ve noticed, they’re a pack of Rogues with one man leading them and calling himself Alpha.”My eyebrows raise up at this. “Oh? A pack of Rogues? That’s interesting but not unheard of, I guess. Usually, the Rogues keep out of BloodC

    LilyA sense of calm has come over me since meeting my mother again. She tells me stories about how life was after leaving my father, how she’s always had to look over her shoulder even after changing her appearance. My father is more evil than Fenriz could ever be by the sounds of things, but Fenriz has definitely got the temper from him.Especially the thirst for killing Maiden Lunas.My babies stir as my mother places her hand on my stomach, and she lets out a squeal.“Oh, he’s saying hello to me!” she gushes, rubbing my swollen belly gently.I giggle at this and pop another cube of raw beef into my mouth; it seems the twins have been craving it lately, and it’s understandable. One is a carnivore after all, and the other… well….“I can’t wait to meet him,” she croons and kisses my stomach.“You mean them, you can’t wait to meet th

    Nikolai I know I shouldn’t be here again, I know I should head home and resume the mission Kai has sent me on, but I can’t help it. The pull is too strong; HER pull is too strong. I should probably just reject her for real this time and get on with my life, but staring at temptation for so long only makes me want it more. It’s been nearly four years since I spoke with Nova, four years since I caught her scent and promised to win her over again… and four years since I’ve done jack shit about it. But it’s not because I don’t want to, fuck no. We’re at war with two other packs, and there is so much death surrounding us now. I don’t want to drag Nova into the middle of this; I don’t want her to be caught in the crossfire. So I’ve resigned myself to coming to this seedy bar the Rogue Alpha owns, the bar she works in so that I can watch her from afar. I never approach her, never stare too long to catch anyone’s attention, and I do not r

  • Konstantin: The Heartless Beta   EPILOGUE - WAR

    Konstantin I didn’t mention to Dimitri how pissed off Kai sounded over the mind link, and his urgent tone is making me haul ass towards his club. I mean, I’m glad for the separation from Dimitri and his depressive funk, but if something got Kai pissed off, I would rather deal with the sad brother than the angry one. It’s 9 pm, usually the best time to keep the clubs open, but as I round the corner into Billionaire’s Row, I see no cars or people - it is empty. “What the fuck?” Dimitri asks as he unclasps his seatbelt and looks around. “Where the fuck is everybody?” I’m feeling just as fucking confused, especially when we get closer to The Slip, and I see Kai standing outside with Nikolai next to him. They turn their heads when they see our approach and when we get out of the SUV, they walk toward us. “What’s going on?” I ask with a frown, and my confusion deepens when I see Kai’s double irises on display and the absolute fucking anger in his scent. Something has pissed him off so

    KonstantinI walk into The Slip the following day and head towards Kai’s office. He hasn’t done many changes to this club since Vanya left except bump up the security detail around the girls. Human patrons won’t be able to tell the difference, but all the bartenders and a few random ‘patrons’ inside the club are Enforcers.When I enter the office, my brother looks up, and I spot Marle standing off to the side with her arms crossed. Even I can tell that she’s exhausted; oh well, all in a day’s work for a BloodCrest witch.“Okay, since we’re all here, you might as well start, Marle,”She exhales and launches into a plan for the pack and its safety. This requires her doing a mass check of every pack member for foreign entities, securing their minds against hexes and then strengthening the borders of the estate. We’re not taking any chances now that we know our father has been

I'm looking forward to hearing back from you lovely readers and Bren* thank you for following my story even though Caterina made you want to slap her through the screen while reading Alpha Kai :P I appreciate all of you, you have no idea how much your little notes and comments encouraged me.

    Konstantin“So as long as the Teardrop stays in the vault, no one will be able to get to it, right?” I ask, and Marle nods.“As long as that happens, then all is well,” Marle says, then turns to Kai. “You and Caterina cannot allow anyone to sway you to enter with bad intentions, or the spell on the vault will banish you from it. Xamnir had me put that powerful spell on that vault when we first came to the States, and I’ll have you know that my spells pack a punch.”We were standing in the living room waiting for Dimitri while speaking about what to do next. So Alpha Azura’s predecessors stole the fake Obsidian Teardrop for some reason, but the real one is still in the vaults.“Why would the Nightshade Maidens steal the Teardrop? Not just that, but how did they even know about it?” I voice my thoughts out loud, but Marle chuckles.“Because their Alpha took offen

    KonstantinWhen I know Lily’s in a deep sleep, I slink out of bed, get dressed and meet Kai downstairs. He got a call from Dimitri a few minutes ago saying he remembered something and couldn’t tell us over the phone.I walk out, see Kai waiting next to his Maserati, and we hop inside. “Any idea what he could have seen?” I ask, and Kai shakes his head.“Not at all, but he sounded freaked out over the phone, so it can’t be good,” He says as we leave the estate.“Always something,” I mutter and breathe out a sigh.Lily and I just had the best make-up sex, and now I have to leave her side. Things between us aren’t 100% cleared up yet, but the fact that we spoke about things is the first step. Marle’s interference in her mind and recovery helped a lot, too; I could see the self-confidence in her eyes again. That sexy confidence always got my cock hard whenever we us

    Lily“Let’s get them inside,” Konstantin says when he leans down next to me and picks up Kaia. I blink at this, then scoop Luca up in my arms and follow him in.I haven’t seen or heard from him all day, so this is a bit of a surprise for me. Wasn’t he still angry at me for what I did?We lay the twins down in their separate cribs and stood there just staring at them for a few minutes. The fact that they won’t be plagued with their demonic side lifted a massive weight from my shoulders, especially for Kaia and her future. At least they’ll live normal lives, well as normal as it can be for a werewolf.But not only that, I feel… lighter? My mind seems clearer than it has before, and as I peek inside my subconscious, I can see Gypsy lounging happily. Taking a deep breath, I decide to take advantage of my state of mind - it’s now or never.“I spent the entire afternoon rehears

    Konstantin“Out of everyone to come back from the dead, why couldn’t it fucking be Viktor?” I ask as I follow my brothers out of Fang.Kai chuckles. “I think I would have preferred that; however, I would prefer the dead to stay dead.” He says and walks towards his SUV. “It’s nearing 7; we should head back to the estate.”I thumb at Dimitri. “I’ll take him back to the penthouse,” I say, nodding at Kai, who screeches out of the parking lot soon after.So, our father is alive after all this time and has plotted for years to get where he is now. To find out that he’s been against us all this time hurts like hell; I don’t think I’ll ever understand those who betray others. Yeah, he was from an unknown wolf family and had to take my mother’s last time because of the power it held, but surely he could not have been offended over something as trivial a

Not even when I fucked up a major order in my first few months with him.He’s angry with me, but I didn’t expect him to be this hurt. How stupid am I?! Of course, Konstantin would have understood what I went through last night, so what the fuck made me think he would hate me?!/“I told you,”/ comes that voice again and immediately, my question was answered.Sighing, I walk upstairs to our bedroom to wait until we have to leave for the ritual.
