Nova Everything happens way too quickly after I see him. As I’m running to Arya to try and stop her, the man who looks like Alpha Kai runs towards her at lightning speed and grabs her by the throat. He has a malicious grin on his face as his irises split into two orbs, and my heart drops right into my feet when I realise that this man is a fucking Lycan. What is happening? Why does this man look like Alpha Kai when it obviously isn’t him?! His scent doesn’t match Alpha Kai at all, and there’s a coldness extending from him that chills me to my very bones. “Who…who are you…” I squeak, feeling close to nearly fainting at his intimidating scent, but he merely grins at my terror, or rather he’s reveling in it. “Who are you?!” He continues to carry Arya in the air by her throat and throws her to the side, but out of the corner of my eye, I can see Lilith behind her breaking her fall. “Why are you here?” I hear Luna Caterina’s stern voice behind me, and I turn to look at her. She walks i
NikolaiNova walks away from me with no hesitation or hurry in her step. She’s not expecting me to run after her, but I want to; I want to fight for this relationship, but I feel like the only thing I do and say are the wrong things.I breathe out a sigh and turn around, ready to face whatever my brother has to say to us.“...What the fuck is that supposed to mean, Kai? How is this supposed to work?” I catch the remnants of Konstantin’s rant and see him pacing the floor. Whatever Kai just told him has him highly pissed off. I think we’re all pissed off at Kai in some way.“What’s going on?” I ask, walking up to them. Konstantin’s eyes are silver, Dimitri has his arms crossed, looking despondent, and Kai is leaning over the counter looking at us all. The women are standing off to the side and are wearing equally shell-shocked expressions. “Did someone die?”Konstantin scoffs. “Perfect choice of words, little brother,” he says.“There’s no need to be fucking dramatic, Konstantin-”“Oh,
NovaI fall down on Nikolai’s chest, trying to catch my breath and feel his arms constrict around me. The fact that we just had sex hit me like a ton of bricks, and now my face is heating up as I remember the words that came out of my mouth.“Hey, little Rogue,” Nikolai teases and kisses the side of my head. “There’s no reason to get shy.”“Says the one who never gets shy!” I say, burying my face in his chiselled chest or trying to. He chuckles as I say this, holding me even closer to him. I don’t know what possessed me to come to Nikolai’s room last night; I think it had something to do with everything that happened at the cabin. I’ve missed him, missed being in his arms, but the lies and violence from today just bubbled over into my need to be held. I wanted him, but I wanted him to apologise… oh Goddess, and now he has.“Nova,” he chuckles when I let out a self-deprecating groan as the memory of me riding Nikolai comes flooding back. “Hey, please don’t turn away from me. I’m sorr
NikolaiNova just shut everyone up with her words, and before she hit the ground, I caught her and held her in my arms. I look up at my brothers, everyone is pissed off at my mate for calling them out, but I have no way of explaining how she knew all their secrets.“Nikolai,” I look down, and my eyes grow wide at the sight of the third-eye opening on Nova’s forehead. The direwolf Nova is back, and she smiles at me before she lifts up from the floor to face everyone.She shoots Caterina an apologetic look. “I’m sorry, Goddess, I broke my promise to you. However, I fear something worse might have happened to Nova if I didn’t stop her in time.” She explains.Caterina takes a step toward Nova. “How did she know all those things, Nova? How could she see our lies?” She asks.Nova sighs and crosses her arms. “Nova is an extremely passionate empath and can feel when something is not right with someone, when their scent is off and when they’re trying to hide something. This is basically how he
NovaNikolai and I are walking the woods/forest area behind the Volkov mansion with him relaying what took place at the pack meeting. It seems as though the witch and my wolf have a bad history together, and I actually can’t wait to find out what it is. I never trusted the witch to begin with, but it was not my place to say anything. “So Alpha Kai isn’t mad at me, then?” I ask. As much as I loved saying my piece, Alpha Kai still scares the bejeezus out of me.“Nah, he’s cool with everything. He even apologised to me for forcing me to lie to you; I think he wants to apologise to you as well,” he says, then holds my hand up to his face and kisses my fingers.“He doesn’t need to apologise to me after what I did today, trust me,” I say, shaking my head. “In fact, he never needs to speak to me again, if that’s fine. Alpha Kai scares me shitless.” Nikolai bursts out laughing and wraps his arms around me from behind, burying his face in the nape of my neck. “Oh, come on, really? Kai has a
NikolaiWhen I came to see Alpha Cain after Nova’s accident, this new bar lady was working; she didn’t see me or catch my scent, but I knew who it was right away.Fucking Vanya.Why the fuck was she hiding out in a pack we were on good terms with? This can’t be good for anyone, especially not for Alpha Cain. There’s a reason she’s planted herself here, and I think that reason is Nova.“Hello, Vanya, long time no see,” Kai says as he approaches us and crosses his arms. The double irises are prominent, and they still unnerve me when I look at them. Vanya squirms in my grasp; once upon a time, she would have put me on my ass, but not anymore. I didn’t get the nickname ‘Ripper’ by being soft, did I?“A-Alpha Kai!” she stutters and tries to pull my hand from around her neck. “Please, let me go! I’ve done nothing!” Kai growls and stalks towards her, so I take a step back, and his hand replaces mine at her throat. He slams her against the wall of liquor, and she screams out as the glass pie
NovaIt’s Monday morning, my last Monday as a Lorelei. A lazy smile occupies my face as my mind goes back to what Nikolai did to me on the breakfast nook table. Goddess, he had to carry me upstairs because I couldn’t walk straight again.He’s left for the day because he’s collecting our belongings from the cabin with Alpha Kai tagging along. They’re also having a meeting with only the brothers present. It’s apparently with regards to what he learned about Vanya as he ate her heart. Nikolai said he would tell me the result if he felt I needed to know, other than that, he can’t tell me more.I understand, though; they’re Russian Mafia, and I don’t need to know everything.Today I plan to do absolute jack and just laze around for a change. I hated to sit down idly and do nothing back in the day, but after everything I have been through, I think I deserve some fucking downtime.Of course, Fate had different plans for me today.Just as I am about to doze off, I get hit in the face with a p
NikolaiKai and I had just cleaned out the cabin when we spotted the hulking figure of Vladimir pacing the spot where he and Kai fought. He’s come to meet with Kai about something but wouldn’t tell him what it was.“Are you sure about this?” I ask Kai when we approach, and he nods.“Use your nose, little brother, and tell me what you smell,” he says, his eyes flashing red.I calm my mind and focus on the scent Vladimir is emitting, or rather, trying not to. The fucking intimidation is there, but he’s using it to mask everything else, and when I really focus, I can smell it.“Fuck, it smells like rotting meat and heroin; not to mention the fear and anxiety,” I say in disbelief and finally believe Kai’s words. This wolf is a fucking goner; there’s nothing left in him but his overpowering intimidation.Kai smiles and nods. “Exactly; he’s no fucking match for me,” he says. Vladimir looks up at us and immediately lets out a low growl with his eyes flashing double crimson irises.“You reach
