Konstantin
Since we arrived a few minutes ago, something has felt off, and it’s not the dagger taking occupancy in my holster.
“Did you guys take out all the men already?” I mutter as we make our way onto the property after searching. We are currently crouched down at the northern entrance and have not seen a soul.
Kai and I have known the layout since we killed Cat’s family last time. Stefan had men on constant patrol at his villa in Jersey, so where were they now?
“No, it was like this when we arrived two hours ago; no movement from inside,” Ryker replies from the south entrance.
“Same thing on the west and east entrances, as well as the woods behind the estate,” Cain says. “We’ve searched the place twice, not a soul or scent out of place.”
I look at Kai, not liking this one bit. “It’s way too fucking quiet here,” I say, and he nods.
KonstantinRage gripped my heart when I saw her tied to a black altar, like some sort of sacrificial lamb. Kai got Nikolai down from the chains holding him and the Rogues have Stefan up against the wall, waiting for me to kill him.“Are you okay?” I hear Kai whisper to Nikolai, who nods and starts to talk to Kai about something that I tune out. There’s a reason for the whispering, and I won’t intrude.Lily smiles and nods when I tell her what I’m about to do, and my heart just about bursts out of my chest. I never thought I would see her smile at me like this ever again and my wolf just about howled because of it.We did it; we saved my mate, and our little brother is still alive. Stefan will pay for this with his fucking life, and I will make sure his reign of terror ends tonight.I kiss her forehead again and walk over to where the Rogues have the fucker pinned to the wall and remove the dagger from
Konstantin“Brother…” I trail off, taking a cautious step towards Kai, whose scent is unreadable. He’s holding Cat closely, her body all but healed from giving birth. She’s staring straight ahead,“Kai, what-”“He took my baby. After injecting everyone with something, he ripped my child from my hands and walked out.” Cat says, continuing to stare at nothing. “The traitor has been Dimitri all along.”“Who says I’m sane? I’m just good at acting; a smiling viper with nothing to worry about.”Dimitri’s words echo through my head as my heart shatters and a blinding pain hits my chest, doubling me over. The witches awaken and scream, feeling the exact same pain as I did. I look up at Kai, his stony face giving nothing away - no emotion on his face even as Dimitri rejects our pack.Zephyr and Nova stir as well, slowly get
Konstantin Kai pulls me out of the bedroom and looks at me with wide eyes. “What the fuck does this mean?” He asks me as if I have the fucking answer right now. “It means that even the demonic child is a Volkov, and we cannot exchange one for the other. No matter how we look at it, that child is family.” Cat says and comes up behind us. She looks at Kai and sighs. “This won’t end well.” Kai growls and punches the wall next to me. “What the fuck are we going to do now?!” Marle walks out and looks at the three of us.“They can’t kill your child; it’s their bargaining chip. I need to get in contact with Morganna to find out exactly what they’re planning. Give me a few minutes.” She says, then touches my arm. “Lilith is waiting for you.” I look up at Kai and Cat when she says this, guilt creeping into my heart at the fact that I can experience this with Lily while they can’t. What do I do or say to my brother in this si
Konstantin“Any news?” I ask as I step into the living room where Kai, Cat, Nikolai and Marle are seated. Kai was now dressed in black cargo pants and no shirt, and Cat changed out of her bloody dress.The witch looks at me and nods. “Morganna wants to trade Kai’s child for the one housing the entity.” She says, confirming Cat’s earlier assumption.“We don’t expect you to do this, Kon, so we won’t even ask it of you,” Kai says, then gets up and walks towards me. “We’ll find another way to get my child back.”I shake my head. “What if there is no other way, Kai? I don’t want your firstborn to die on account of me!”What the fuck are we going to do?! We can’t leave his child in the hands of the enemy, and we can’t trade my daughter either. We’re literal sitting ducks right fucking now!“There’s still tr
LilyI look down at the two perfect beings I’ve birthed and feel tears running down my face. To think both of them are mine and Konstantin’s… that after all this time…Did Stefan try to fool me by saying the other was his, or did he not know? I honestly cannot say, but the witch inside says that the blonde woman wants one of them back. Before I knew they were both babies and not one and a demon spawn, I wanted to give it away. Why would I want to keep a manifestation of evil?But things are different now, and even if my little girl has been injected with whatever Stefan put inside of her, I will still love her fiercely. We’ll take on whatever comes afterwards; I’m sure Konstantin feels the same way.However, just because my body has healed after all the abuse does not mean that my mind has. Whenever I doze off, I wake up in a cold sweat and imagine myself back on those chains with Stefan using m
Konstantin“WHY AM I IN HERE?! KAI! KON! GET ME OUT!”We’ve been listening to Dimitri’s screams over and over for the last hour, with neither of us knowing how to start with this. We’re used to torture, but now we’ll be torturing our own brother.“We should get this over with, Kai; time is running out,” I say, referring to his missing child.He nods. Then removes the silver knife from his holster and walks in with me right behind. Dimitri is naked from the waist up and shackled against the walls in the silver anchor chains; we’ve also removed the wolfsbane planters for now but left the humidifier in here.“Ready to talk, brother?” Kai asks, walking towards him with the silver knife.“How many times do I have to say this? I don’t know what you’re talking about!” He repeats again.I sigh and put a hand on Kai’s shoulder
Konstantin We’ve taken Dimitri back to his penthouse, but we have him tied up with silver. Even if his disposition is to be believed, there is no way we can trust him now. I don’t even think we can repair that trust. Yeah, I am aware that Dimitri might have been under the influence of the parasite, but the point remains… he never trusted us to help him. “We need to figure out what we’re going to do from now on,” I say as the two of us walk to the SUV with Marle in tow. “The longer your child stays away-” “I know that!” Kai roars, denting the side of the SUV with a punch. “I fucking know.” He then leans his arms against the hood and rests his head. “I don’t know what the fuck we’re going to do, Kon.” I let out a sigh and walked to him, placing my hand on his shoulder until he turned around to face me. “We’ll figure something out; we always do,” I say. “There is something we can try,” Marle suddenly speaks up, and both o
Konstantin“Are you okay?” Kai asks after I walk downstairs for a breather. I just went to check on Lily, but she was passed out with the babies.I give him a tight smile as I enter the kitchen. “I’ll learn to bear it, don’t worry. I knew the consequences and would do it again in a heartbeat.” I say and take a bottle of beer from the refrigerator. I’ll have to work through it, I know. This first time surprised me, but I’ll be ready for it next time.I think.“Marle is busy contacting the blonde bitch so we can do the deal. Apparently, all she needs is a lock of the baby’s hair to create an image of it. The image will disappear as soon as the bitch runs away with what she wants.” Kai says, thankfully changing the subject.“Do we trust the bitch not to come after us when she discovers she’s been fooled?” I ask, seeing a giant loophole in that plan.
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 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
Hello, readers! I hope you guys have enjoyed reading Konstantin's exploits as much as I loved writing about them! Unfortunately, this book will be coming to a close within the next two days, so I would like some feedback from you! Which story would you like to see next? Dimitri or Nikolai? 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. Until the next book! xxx
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
LilyI had never seen Konstantin as upset as he was when he stormed out of the mansion. 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. If the childminders are the guilty ones, then I will not be going in to work today; surely Kai will understand my decision.In any case, I called my second to let him know to handle things for tonight.What is going to happen now? I’ve just broken my mate as well as my Alpha’s trust in me by thinking I could solve my problems on my own. I know I need
