We’ve collected Kon’s SUV, and now we’re on our way to meet the woman who has been behind everything that has gone wrong with my pack and family. She influenced the witches who helped the Sable Hides take out the Silver Sun pack and hide Caterina from me. She’s the reason Dimitri is now a lost soul with no recollection of what he has done for the last twelve years.
And the main reason we have now lost our trust in him.
After having a long talk with Marle, I already knew what needed to be done; how we’ll finally be rid of the blight on our pack. Kon won’t like it, but fuck it, the entire pack’s safety is at stake, and as Alpha, I need to make the tough decisions.
“We’ve arrived,” I say and stop the SUV. Marle nods at me, then turns to face Kon.
“Both you and Kai will do the exchange; listen to whatever your brother instructs you to do. It’s imper

Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 40. Pure Light
LilyI don’t think I had ever felt the peace that settled in my heart when I opened my eyes and saw Konstantin lying next to me. After everything I went through at the hands of Stefan, he still saw me as his mate and had to rescue me. I know I’m tainted goods, but the look in Konstantin’s eyes when he sees me says different.To think, only a few hours prior, I was ready to die alongside my child; now, both of us have been given a second chance. I’m not letting anything happen to my children or me, not after what I have been through.Konstantin stirs and breathes out a sigh. I don’t know why, but this little action makes me smile, so I draw my hand to his face and cup his cheek. How am I so lucky to be here again? Laying next to my mate and our children feels like I have died and gone to heaven. Or perhaps I am still chained up in Stefan’s dungeon, and this is all a dream?I wouldn’t put that cruel

Konstantin“You sure about this?” I ask Kai as I press the elevator button. My brother has had a bad feeling about Dimitri since we left here last night, and he couldn’t keep quiet about it. Lily told me to go with him to see what it could be about, or we would not hear the end of it.“You can’t tell me you don’t think this has all ended a bit too easily,” he says, keying in the code to Dimitri’s penthouse and gritting his teeth.No, I didn’t want to fucking think about it. We’ve been through so fucking much already, and I didn’t want to dig up more problems. I wanted to remain blissfully ignorant until I couldn’t take it anymore.“It’s always something,” I grumble and lean back against the railing with my arms crossed. Damn it, give me a break!“You’re right; it is always fucking something with our family and pack. But as the Alph

Lily“Fuck, Konstantin, calm down. It’s just a few people! They’ll be fine!” I say through gritted teeth for the tenth time.“I don’t trust ANY of those sons of bitches around my fucking children!” He replies, not letting me near the twins’ wooden cribs.I growl and pinch the bridge of my nose. “Move the fuck away or so help me….” I trail off and feel Kai standing behind us, chuckling. “Kai, please tell your brother to move away from the cribs.”He walks inside, and I turn around, immediately melting at the huge Alpha with a tiny baby in his arms. Little Kira has him completely wrapped around her little finger at three weeks old; it doesn’t help that she looks exactly like Caterina, just with the Volkov blonde hair.As usual, we had to wait for a full moon to do the Children’s Blessing; however, I am already back in the pack.

KonstantinSomething is off about that woman on Fenriz’s arm. I know it’s none of my business, but there’s dark shit surrounding her. Should I warn him about it? She’s his mate, though; will he listen?I look over at Lily with the twins in the stroller and how the entire pack seems to be enamoured with them. It’s understandable; they’re Volkov heirs and will run the pack one day. But as I look over at Kai and his little family, I wonder if Cat will be prepared to hand over the Alpha mantle to her daughter, knowing what the ritual involved.“Konstantin,” I hear the gruff voice of the Rogue Alpha, Cain, as he approaches me from behind. Dressed in black and drinking a Cola, he looked every bit as intimidating as he tried to look, but something was different.“Cain, didn’t think you’d make it,” I say and take his hand, which he shakes.He shrugs. &ldquo

Nikolai/“She’s here,”//“I know that, Knight, shut up about it already.”/Jasmine, peppermint and peaches - these springtime scents have been driving me wild all afternoon. I know it’s my mate; I know it's the one who I rejected, so why can’t I get her out of my head? Didn’t I sever the Mate Bond by rejecting her?My brother only met his mate in his late thirties, and the rest of my brothers, except Viktor, met theirs in their late twenties. I didn’t expect to meet my mate any time soon, which is why I’ve always played the field. But to know I met her and rejected her without even knowing about it, without my fucking consent!I’ve been pissed off ever since Konstantin told me about this, knowing that I can’t do a damn thing about it. I don’t remember ever meeting her, yet I rejected the person fated to be mine, and it fucking hurt
Last Updated : 2022-03-23Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 44. Good Enough
Lily It’s been six months… six hard months of motherhood, pack problems, work and continuous nightmares. I wake up every night screaming; we’ve had to move the twins out of our room because of it. I don’t know… I was fine, well, at least I thought I was. I can’t explain the anxiety that coils in my stomach on a daily basis, how my skin feels dirty even as I stand underneath a scalding shower and how my heartbeat never seems to slow down. Konstantin has been understanding, but I know he is growing tired of this. It’s been nearly a year since he claimed me, and we haven’t been intimate since. Not that we haven’t gotten close… I just freeze up when he gets on top of me. I know he understands… but his beast doesn’t. How do I move on from being abused? It’s not like I can just walk into a therapist’s office and tell them I was being held as a sex slave to a demon who wanted to use my womb to birth his master. But I can’t exactly talk to Konstantin about this either. Caterina has enoug

Konstantin Within the time it took me to snap out of my shock, Lily had left the office. “Fuck!” I cry out, following after her and trying to call her over the link, but getting nothing. She can’t have gotten far, and she can't leave the pack since the Bond Anchor is complete. /“Lily, please,”/ I beg, /“where are you?”/ /“Kon?”/ The voice of my brother came. I forgot that since he’s Alpha, he can hear every conversation over the link. /“Lily and I had an argument, and she’s run out,”/ I explain, catching the remnants of her lavender scent as I run to my motorcycle. /“Need my help?”/ he asks, referring to his Alpha ability to bend someone’s will over the link with a simple command, but I say no. /“I know where she’ll be, don’t worry,”/ I say, then tune out of the link as I make my way to the Estate. I know my mate, and I know all her hiding spots,

LilyI wake up, and that familiar migraine is back… the one I used to wake up with every morning after Stefan has been in to assault me. My eyes shoot open, and I sit up with my heart thumping wildly as I take in my surroundings.Wait…how did I get back in bed?A frown crosses my brow, and I look at the spot next to me, noticing Konstantin isn’t there. What happened after he found me last night? I remember sobbing in his arms, and then him kissing me, but anything else after that… What?Swinging my legs out of bed, I take a step towards the bathroom, but something feels off. By the full, uncomfortable feeling in my groin, it feels like I’ve had sex; hard, steamy sex. Wait, did Konstantin and I finally do it again last night? But why don’t I remember it?!I run to my floor-length mirror and assess my body, noticing the claw marks still at my hips, and Konstantin’s teeth marks were also st

Konstantin: The Heartless Beta N&D - Rejecting Fate
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
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 55. Future Plans
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
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta NIKOLAI OR DIMITRI?
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: The Heartless Beta 54. Our Mates
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
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 53. Dimitri's Penthouse
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
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 52. Make Up?
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: The Heartless Beta 51. After That
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
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 50. Stay Dead
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
