Konrad POVI slipped away quietly before my family saw what I was doing.Dad would've advised against me following my enemies back to their territory, and I didn't have the patience to listen to his order. I wasn't done with them yet.So here I was, sneaking around. I made myself into something like a shadow so no one would see me. I didn't want to start the carnage right away.I quickly scanned the territory.It was not big, and there weren't too many werewolves around. I was definitely at an advantage here."Hey you, what are you doing here?" someone suddenly spoke to me.Oops, I've been spotted.Grinning frivolously, I turn to face the man. He must have been patrolling the premises and saw me sniffing around."You don't belong here," he said."Oh, you don't think so?" I bit back with sarcasm. I straightened my back and then slowly and gracefully walked toward him.His eyes suddenly turned wide. "Y...you. You are one of the Vikander brothers, aren't you? From the rival pack? Did you
MATTHEW"He is gone.""Who?" Valentina gave me a puzzled look.After our fight with the Bloodmoon pack, we went our separate ways. Sunday dinner was already ruined, and we weren't in the mood to continue where we left off because we had some cleaning up to do. They had done some damage to some of the buildings. Bastards.After a while, I regrouped with Minerva, Valentina and Callan to talk about what went down, but Konrad wasn't there. I couldn't even feel him nearby. I almost always knew where he was, but this time, I couldn't trace him."Konrad. He left," I told her. "Where do you think he went?""Maybe he went back home to take a shower or something," Callan said dismissively."No, I was just there, and he is not there. He is not even inside our territory. I hope he didn't go after the enemy," I said. I was worried about him. He always made impulsive decisions and was notorious for having violent outbursts. I could sense his disappointment when our dad wouldn't let him kill some of
Sophia POV Fear overwhelmed me as I realized what was happening. "Wh...who are you?" I asked again as he never told me his name. "Konrad Vikander at your service." He grinned. Holy crap! I was being kidnapped by an evil hybrid who was my father's enemy. And to make the matter much, much worse, he was my mate. Father was right, after all. They were not like us. I didn't meet the rest of his siblings yet, but he was bad enough as it is. "You can't just take me. My father is the Alpha. He will hunt you down and kill you!" I threatened him, which made him laugh. He was not taking me seriously at all! "I'm being serious!" I warned him, but his eyes were still smiling. "Your father, the Alpha? He ran off with his tail tucked behind him when he heard me coming," the beast smiled arrogantly. "You are lying," I protested. My father couldn't just forget about me, could he? He was supposed to protect me! "I'm not going to stand here and argue with you. Come on, little runt. You belong to
Konrad POVMathew looked like he wanted to grab and shake me if I didn't answer him right now. What was he so worked up about? I didn't understand. It was usually me getting angry about things. I was the hotheaded one, after all.After leaving her in my makeshift cell, I got ready to take a long, cold shower.I've never felt so aroused by a woman before. Not like how it was with my so-called mate. Whether it was inside or outside the pack, women feared me. With the exception of Valentina and Minerva, I stayed away from women and they stayed even farther away from me.But something stirred inside me when I kissed her. It was a mixture of arousal and disgust.As soon as I left the room, I nearly retched. How could I even think about kissing that pathetic runt? FUCK, I need a whole bottle of Listerine now. That might not even be enough. I was tempted to cast a spell on myself, so I could forget the whole thing.But it was impossible as I could still taste her sweet tongue and imagine the
Sophia POV"Sophia." His voice deepened as he repeated my name. "It suits you."What is that supposed to mean?I didn't have time to ask him that as he suddenly disappeared again, leaving me all alone.I searched around the room, desperate to find a way out. A window, a crack on the wall, anything. But there was nothing.The walls were made of solid stone, and there was only one small circular window sitting high up the wall. Even if I jumped and reached it, my body wouldn't fit through it.He couldn't have picked a better prison for me. I howled in frustration and anger. This wasn't how I planned to spend my week.What day was it anyway?I had no idea because he didn't even bother to leave me a calendar here. Or anything to entertain myself with.And not to mention I was starving!I felt a surge of regret for not eating the beef stew. How was I supposed to know that he didn't tamper with it! And then he had the nerve to eat it all in front of me!"Where are you now? Come back here!"
Matthew POV It didn't take me too long to realize Konrad was lying to me. I knew he didn't just leave her at her house. Konrad wouldn't spare an enemy that easily. He would kill everyone who came across his path or take them prisoner. And I knew he didn't kill her. My mate... She was even more beautiful than I imagined with her fiery red curls and sweet freckled face. Those deep blue eyes reminded me of the ocean. I was instantly in love. But she was hesitant. I could tell she didn't trust me. And who could blame her? I possessed the face of her kidnapper. Who knows what Konrad did to her to traumatize her already. I'd have to have a long chat with him. This was no way to treat your mate! For some reason, I was not all that surprised when she told me Konrad was her mate too. Deep down, I had always known. No matter how many times Konrad liked to deny our twin bond, it was unbreakable. We shared everything growing up. Our whole world revolved around each other and our sister Val
Konrad POVI did what I always try to stop myself from doing no matter how angry I got at Matthew; I raised my hand and threw a fireball at him. He had skillfully dodged it as if he was expecting it. Sleek bastard.Don't get me wrong, as brothers, we fought all the time and have never gone beyond a friendly scuffle. But this time, it was serious. It was real. I could not control the rage inside me when I found out I had to share my mate with him.Me sharing? It was unheard of. I didn't even share a mere toy with him when we were little unless our mother forced me to. Even then, I fought hard to defy her. This situation was far worse than us fighting over a toy."KONRAD! Control your anger. Let's talk about this like adults," Matthew said after dodging my fireball."Fuck off, Matty! How can you suggest such a thing? I won't share her. Not even with you," I sneered. I got ready to attack him again, rage burning through my veins."We don't have a choice. We are both bound to her by desti
Analyn POVI knew something was terribly wrong with Konrad ever since he was little. He had the darkness inside him. The same as the one in Ambrose, yet different. I wanted to get rid of it once and for all before it was too late. Before he tried to hurt Matthew and Valentina. But when I talked to Sylvia about it, she stopped me."NO! Don't you dare try," she had said.I looked at her with surprise. "What are you saying, Sylvia? I have to cure him as I did with Ambrose now that I know how to do it. Why are you stopping me?""Sweetheart, this isn't the same situation as Ambrose. The darkness is part of Konrad in a way that can't be separated now. He is young and it is part of his nature now. It can be tamed but not destroyed.""What are you saying? He will be evil forever?" my voice shook."He is not evil. He is just...more in touch with his inner beast than his humanity now. It will take him a while to know the difference between right and wrong, but he can be tamed. The darkness isn'
Ten years later..."Kaden, SLOW DOWN!" I cried out as our five year old child Kaden continued to terrorize everyone. I watched what went down in front of me, not sure how to handle our son, while Matthew and Konrad stood in the distance, stuffing their face with pizza, "Why aren't you stopping him!" I looked at them and roared.I was four months pregnant with Matthew's daughter Misty, so I was too hormonal and grumpy to deal with our demon child, who had now transformed into a dragon, spitting fire at everyone and everything."BURN, BURN, BURN!" Kaden chanted joyously.Ah, he was his father's son, alright. "Konrad! Do something!" I glared at Konrad."He is just having fun," he said nonchalantly.I turned my attention back to Matthew. "Then you stop him!"Matthew stopped eating his pizza and looked at me like he had no idea what I was talking about. "Huh? What do you mean? Why do I have to get him? It's Konrad's spawn of hell. Let him punish Kaden.""Because I already know Konrad, and
Sophia POV Is this really happening? Or is this a dream? I wondered as Matthew carried me to his bedroom. Tonight was finally the night I was to be mated to Matthew. I'd been thinking about it all day and let's just say my anxiety level was through the roof! "Don't be scared, Sophia. I won't hurt you. You trust me, don't you?" Matthew said gently. "I do," I whispered. Matthew put me on the floor gently. I felt like his piercing green eyes could look inside my soul and I felt nervous again. But it wasn't because I was scared of him. I could feel the heat between my legs as I watched him take his shirt off. I want him, and I can't even deny it to myself. [Holy hell, this guy is hot. I wonder how his wolf would feel when he buried his cock into you], my wolf cooed inside me, making me redder than a tomato. [Shut up! You will ruin the moment,] I hissed. I wasn't usually lusting over men like this, but for some reason, I could hardly contain myself now. I must be in heat. Matthew
Matthew POV Konrad was angry with me. He didn't want me to fight him about who gets to have Sophia first tonight. He wanted me to give her up without argument, but I didn't want to let her go this easily. They say fighting doesn't solve anything. So we both agreed with my mom's idea of finding the flowers in the forest. It shouldn't be too hard, right? "You will never find it. You barely spend any time in the woods," Konrad scoffed. "That's where you are wrong, brother. I may not roam around in the forest like a wild animal and waste my time there, but I still know a lot about it. I can also speak to other animals and ask them for direction." Konrad growled at me. "You can't ask other animals in the forest about the flower bush. That's cheating." "That's not cheating. Nobody said we couldn't do that!" I exclaimed. "And I bet the creatures in the woods will be more willing to help me because all you did was find new ways to torture them. So they already hate you." I smirked. "Fuc
Sophia POVGosh, I was having a nice quiet time in my room, eating a big bowl of chocolate ice cream, but of course, I got roped into their sibling bullshit.Again."What's happening?" I mumbled."Konrad and I are going to decide who gets to be with you tonight for your first time, once and for all," Matthew announced."Excuse me? I thought I already told you that it is up to me and not you. I get to decide who will be my first," I put my bowl down and snarled."Well...have you decided?" Konrad asked."No.""Well, there you go. You don't even know how to decide yet. So we are going to settle it. Then you won't have to make any kind of decision," Matthew said, deciding.These Neanderthals are going to be the end of me."And how are you going to settle this, may I ask? And why did you bring me here? We were not supposed to see each other until tonight anyway," I said irritably. All I wanted was to eat my ice cream in peace and read a good book. And maybe take a nice warm bath later. I s
Konrad POV "Gone? What do you mean gone?" my father roared. "Valentina ran away with Callan," Matthew murmured. Shit, that bastard had really done it this time. It had been a few days since the day Callan disappeared with Sophia's sister and then was brought back from the demon world by me. Ever since then, I lost contact with him, but it turned out he didn't lose connection with Valentina. Cheeky bastard. Although I was angry initially because Matthew and I had been protecting Valentina from Callan's lusty eyes for decades, I decided I'd learn to accept their sudden elope. Callan might be a complete moron, but Valentina? She was not dumb. If she went against our father and chose Callan, she knew what she was doing. Father's face turned dark, and I could tell he was trying his best not to explode in anger. "I see. I thought Sophia's sister was his mate. Why did that hooligan take my daughter?" "He rejected his mate for Val," Matthew interjected. However, he didn't seem all that
Callan POVWas she teasing me again?I held my breath as Valentina led me into her room."What are you planning on doing? Are you trying to seduce me, Ms. Vikander?" I joked.Valentina said nothing. A mysterious smile teased her lips instead, and her green eyes twinkled. Goddamn, she was just so...How did I get so lucky to be in the same room with this gorgeous creature? I didn't even use my Incubus magic on her!That meant she wasn't forced to bring me here. That means she actually likes me."You are awfully quiet. Nervous?" Valentina said and giggled mischievously."Nervous? Me? Don't be silly. I am half incubus. I get girls left and right," I said dismissively. Okay, that came out bad, but it wasn't like I was having sex with them for fun only. I literally needed to have sex to feed myself."That stops now," Valentina's voice was bizarrely melodious, making my head swim."Your sexual conquest stops here," Valentina repeated."No, Val. You don't understand. I need sex to stay stron
Valentina Today was the big day—my date with Callan. I shouldn't be nervous. I told myself that it was only Callan that I had a date with, that I knew him and shouldn't panic. I grew up with him and I'm pretty sure we were naked in baths at some point! But it didn't work. The second he arrived on my doorstep, standing there with his silvery white hair reaching down to his waist, and winning smile, I was a goner. It was game over to my lady parts. It shouldn't be allowed to be so handsome. Callan's imperfections only seemed to make him look even more tempting. "Callan!" I exclaimed. "Hi!" I hope he couldn't hear my heart that was unnaturally fast and loud. A grin spread over his lips. "Good morning." Not sure what to say next, I simply absorbed him. He wore casual clothing, jeans, and a grey t-shirt with a rock hanging around his neck. A smile spread over his lips as he caught me looking, and I got butterflies when he sized me up. "You look nice," Callan said. "Beautiful, actu
Callan POV 'Life should never be taken too seriously. We only live once, so why not laugh and have fun while we are here?' —I breathed that motto. Because of it, friends had always come easy to me. I was popular. What could I say? I was a fun guy to be around. Even girls flocked me, but mainly because of my appearance. Being half incubus had it's advantages I guess. But honestly, that kind of sucked.I wasn't stupid. I had eyes and knew I wasn't half-bad to look at. I took care of myself, worked out more than once per week, and my mother called me handsome, so I had that going for me.But I wanted to make a connection, and there was only one person I was drawn to. Only one person made my heart perform somersaults, and the same person also made me dumb.Valentina. The only crush I had ever had. My body wanted her while my soul craved her. But she never looked at me the way I wanted her too. It was as if she was immune to my incubus allure. She looked at me like I was one of her br
Sophia POVI watched Valentina as she moved around the battleground. For some reason, she was having a hard time focusing. She looked nervous. She was usually the most enthusiastic one in the battleground!"Where is your head today, Val? You let Patrick beat you twice already!" Matthew barked.Valentina jolted as if Matthew's voice startled her. "I...I don't know. I guess I didn't have enough sleep last night," she murmured.Hmm...something was wrong with her, I could feel it."Valentina, if you are not feeling well, you should go lie down," I said gently.It has been a week since the ordeal with Liz and Callan. Konrad went to the demon world and opened a portal so Callan and Liz could come back. After that, he let Liz escape and told them never to set foot in this territory again.Because if Alpha Ambrose found out, everyone, including Konrad, would be punished for helping. And none of us wanted that.Maybe Valentina is upset about Callan leaving, I thought to myself.They seemed pre
