47. Xamnir
Kai
The murderous intent coming from Xamnir nearly knocked me out cold, and I pulled Caterina behind me. Xamnir has cold blue eyes, hair so light it looks translucent, and a body built the same as mine.
Everything about him screamed the word ‘Alpha’; I could see where our bloodline got its appearance from. I know if I had to take him on, I would come out second best.
“Kai?” Caterina says, gripping my arm tight. “Who… who is this?” I look back at her, the fear clearly showing in my eyes and mouth the word.
“Xamnir.” Her eyes widen as I say this, and her head whips to look at the Wolf God.
“Why… Why is he here?” She asks the most obvious question, but how do I tell her that he’s here to devour her heart?
I look back at Xamnir and growl. “What do you want, Xamnir? I already told you my mate is not up for grabs.” I say, gripping her tightly. He throws his head back and laughs.
“You misunderstand, vessel; she’s not

Caterina Something is wrong; something is definitely wrong! “What the fuck is happening, Caterina? Why did Kai tell us to run?!” Nikolai asks while we all head in the direction of the estate. “He’s trying to protect us from… from Xamnir,” I answer through the link as a barrage of questions hits me simultaneously. They all look at me as if I’ve gone mad. “Xamnir?! Xamnir appeared?” Konstantin asks. “Yes! They were talking about a prophecy and… and killing me,” I say, my running coming to a halt as I realise what I had just said. I’m sure that’s what I heard. Xamnir kept on talking about devouring me as Kai was trying to protect me and rejecting the idea, but I had a feeling that Kai knew this would happen. He knew about my death and that he would be the one to kill me. I stop, then shift back and sit on my haunches while holding my knees. If Kai dies while fighting Xamnir, what would be the point of me g
Alpha Kai 49. Dead
Kai I’ve failed; I failed miserably even after being confident that I would kill Xamnir. Now he would go after Caterina and devour her heart. He will become a God amongst Gods, and I could do nothing to stop him! What kind of Alpha am I? “Kai…” I hear someone whisper my name, but I see nothing around me but darkness. Is this the place Caterina always saw when she would see my wolf? Is this my own personal Hell where I would live out the rest of my days mulling over all my faults and failings? It would be apt since I have done nothing to protect my pack. “Are you going to be that sorry sack of bones as you greet me?” I hear a familiar voice but dare not look into the face of the person I failed first. Viktor walks towards me with a smile on his face, and I can do nothing but break down in his presence. I fall to my knees, letting out an anguished roar as he wraps his arms around me. “I don’t blame you, b
Alpha Kai 50. God
Caterina I don’t understand what’s happening at all. Kai is back, but he seems different; that bloodthirstiness always on his scent is gone. In its place is something more primal, more alert and a lot more powerful. But all that amplified as soon as he put that heart to his lips. Kai lets out a painful roar after devouring the heart, and he falls to the ground, gripping his chest. I reach out to touch him, but someone pulls me back by my waist, and when I turn around to see who it is, my heart stops. “Konstantin?!” I exclaim with wide eyes, even more so when my eyes fall on the other brothers. “What… Oh my god!” Crying out, I throw my arms around them and sob, knowing that I will not need to mourn for their deaths. “I saw Xamnir tearing out your hearts! How is this possible?” “I think she had something to do with it,” Dimitri says and gestures behind me to the woman kneeling at Kai’s side, a very familiar-looki
Alpha Kai 51. Secret
Caterina Kai walks me back to the edge of the woods and we put on the clothes left before the ritual. “I’ve found out a lot of things while visiting the realm of the dead, including who the real traitor is,” Kai says while he slips on his jeans. I frown as I get into my sundress and heels. "Real traitor? I thought the twins were behind everything?” Kai shakes his head and buckles his belt. “No, they played a minor role in this. The real culprit has been hiding in plain sight, feeding our secrets to Andretti.” He says, then slips his hand into mine. “I’ll let my brothers know to meet us back home.” We walk the rest of the way to the car in silence, odd since we literally just had a life or death experience together. Everything feels a bit anticlimactic - we just went through Hell and now we’re waltzing hand in hand back to the penthouse like nothing happened. Like Kai didn’t have his heart ripped out by an old god.
Alpha Kai 52. Konstantin
Caterina I can’t believe we just had a fight right after we almost lost one another for good. But I know if I stayed around him right now, the fight would just become worse. Thank God for Konstantin showing up when he did because a lot more would have come out of my mouth if he didn’t. Was I wrong for acting out as I did? He had no right to withhold information about my parents from me but did it anyway. “The thing with Kai that you have to understand is that he will always do what he thinks is best, even if you don’t see it that way.” Konstantin breaks the silence as we drive away from the estate. I scoff and shake my head. “Even so, he had no right to keep it from me,” I say with pursed lips, and he chuckles. “To be fair, Caterina, I am the one who found out about your parents. When I told Kai about them, he said he would keep it from you because you passed out with a bloody nose on the night of Viktor’s pyre.” He says, keep
Alpha Kai 53. Rough
Caterina Kai doesn’t even look at me but glares at his brother. “You said ten minutes,” he growls, to which Konstantin shrugs. “Lost track of time, brother,” he says, putting the liquor away, but Kai stops him. “Leave that out; Nikolai and Dimitri are here.” As soon as Kai says this, the brothers silently appear behind him. How the heck do they do that? I didn’t even hear them enter the club! Also, did Konstantin tell Kai we would be here over their private link? This pisses me off somehow, but I let it go. The brothers walk over to Konstantin, who puts tumblers in front of them and fills them with the same amber liquid. “Since Kon likes to waste time, I thought we could just come here.” He says, downing the drink without so much as a jump to his eyebrow. Ah, so this answers my earlier question, then. “When I died, I met mother and Viktor in the realm of the dead; they had a lot to tell me.” He says. A rumble echoes th
Alpha Kai 54. Hatred
Kai I’ve been up since before the sun came out, just laying next to Caterina and watching her sleep. Last night was incredible; every sexual encounter I have ever had paled in comparison to what I experienced with her. She made me feel…whole. It’s not just that, but she loves me; she loves this fucked up person who murdered both his parents and a coven of witches when he turned 18. How did she not see the filth I saw when I looked in the mirror? Whatever the case may be, I will protect this woman with my entire life and would rather perish before harm comes to her. She stirs in my arms and lets out a small sigh before settling again. I hold her close and breathe out a sigh. Today I will walk into Brooklyn to decimate the Onyx Myst pack. I’ve had enough of their fucked up ways and constantly provoking my pack to violence. To this day, I still don’t know why they had always seen us as a threat when we never had any real issues w
Alpha Kai 55. Brooklyn
Caterina Could I truly face Carlotta after all this time and keep my cool? She has constantly humiliated me in the worst ways and coveted what I had. I am filled with anger and hatred towards her and what they all put me through in the past. My family loathed me and made me a rogue after I left, knowing full well that it would hurt me. Did Carlotta know that I was not a true member of the family after all? It would explain why she has always hated me. I suppose that I would never truly know her reasons for hating me, and to be honest, I didn’t care anymore. Dressed in jeans, a t-shirt and boots, I head down to join Kai again and prepare for the day ahead. I am pretty surprised at the fact that I do not feel nervous at the thought of facing my family again. I loved them, even while living under their constant abuse and humiliation. Does that make me weak? I can’t help but think of Xamnir’s words while he held me aloft: “Sometimes love
