Konstantin
“Fuck,” I mutter when I see Fenriz’ Beta, Andreas, step forward. His eyes flash double gold irises, and he looks extremely pissed off - actually, they all looked pissed off right now.
These are Norwegian Lycans who settled in Vegas when their first Alpha came to the states a few hundred years ago. They don’t worship the same Wolf God we do or used to, but the mate bond link seems to be pretty much the same.
“Konstantin,” he drawls, holding his outstretched hand to me as his irises meld into one. Scare tactic, I see.
“Andreas, I didn’t expect a welcoming committee,” I say, to which he chuckles.
“Fenriz asked me to collect you. I believe this is your first time in Vegas, no?” He asks as we’re led to a line of black motorcycles and one SUV.
“Yes, it's my first time here meeting with your pack,” I say, feeling really uneasy at the enti
Konstantin Well, there goes that fucking idea. “You killed the sister of a Horsemen Alpha? What the fuck is wrong with you?” I ask incredulously, but Fenriz only shrugs. “Step-sister, but whatever.” “That’s not the point, Fenriz. There’s no fucking way they’ll help me if they know I’m trying to save the sister of the man who murdered one of their own,” I say, sitting down on the leather couch with my head in my hands. Fenriz chuckles and sits opposite me. “Then don’t mention me unless you absolutely have to.” He says as if telling me the weather. Fuck, are all Alphas so self-involved?! “Why didn’t you just tell me outright that Lily was my mate? Don’t you think it would have prevented all of this shit?” I say. He growls. “Well, excuse the fuck out of me. How was I supposed to know that even her own fucking mate couldn’t tell the difference between a mate bond Sighting and butterflies? Surely you must have felt
LilyIt’s been days since Stefan violated me in the worst possible way, days since I’ve felt his slimy touch or smelled his disgusting scent.The lust-filled fog is slowly lifting from my mind, and as it does, shame settles deep in my bones. Why am I allowing myself to be violated like this? I was Konstantin’s most trusted second-in-command! How…Stefan’s words make their way into my head… what I truly am and why I am powerless to resist him when he uses me. The reason I have no scent and why the Vega pack rejected me.I curl up into a ball, and a sob wrecks through my body. This is all my fault, my child, Konstantin’s first born, the both of us will die as soon as I give birth to Stefan’s monstrosity inside me. I can feel it clawing its way in my belly and sucking the energy right out of my soul.Just like it’s snake of a father.Suddenly I jerk awake and feel a famili
Konstantin “So, what made you decide to come back in here?” I finally ask Kai when we walk the path to the mansion. I know how the guilt ate at him after what happened, so seeing him here is a shock in itself. He shrugs and exhales. “It was time, wouldn’t you say?” He says, looking up at the place we used to call home. “Caterina is about to have my child; we need a base of support from the entire pack instead of living right in the middle of New York away from everyone.” I understand this; as amazing as our penthouses are, it's not exactly a perfect place to raise children. At least here, they’ll be able to shift and run around as they please. “But how the fuck did you flip that switch so easily? You hated the place,” I say. Kai shakes his head and chuckles. “I never hated our home, Kon, just what I did in it. Speaking to mother after Xamnir killed me helped a lot more than I thought.” I nod; he did mention seeing my dead brother and mother after the werewolf god killed him a few
KonstantinFenriz shakes his head. “I don’t know if it’s such a good idea. Your mate will be here alone, and she is so close to her due date already.” He says, looking at Kai with a raised eyebrow.“Dimitri and Konstantin will be here-”“Excuse the fuck out of me? Do you really think I’ll stay here when we might have a step up in this?” I exclaim as soon as Kai says this bullshit.Kai’s chest rumbles as he tries to contain a growl and sighs. “Fine. For fuck sake. Let me speak with Caterina about this.” He then takes off towards the mansion, and I can hear him cursing all the way.Fenriz chuckles as he watches Kai with an amused look on his face. “I should mention that since Caterina is his mate, he will not lash out at her or do anything to harm the child.” He says, and I can see Kai turn his head slightly.“Those wives were just that;
Konstantin“Lilith’s wolf spoke with you? How is that possible?” Fenriz asks after I tell them what happened.I shrug. “I don’t know how it’s possible. Maybe it has something to do with our Mate Bond? She hasn’t rejected it or been forced to reject it.” I say while leaning against the door in Kai’s study.It's only Kai, Fenriz and Zephyr present. Dimitri is holding down the fort in Billionaire’s Row, and Caterina’s feeling too tired to be here with us. It is understandable since she’s carrying the child of an Alpha God and nearing her due date.“But she disappeared in a cloud of green smoke just as she was about to tell me what Stefan is,” I say, and I can still hear my wolf’s sad whine.I see a frown forming on Zephyr’s face when I say this. “Got something to add, Z?” I ask.He looks up at me. “He stinks of sulp
Another woman will suffer at my hand because of my father; another bride will be dead before she can birth a child for the beast inside of me.I can feel him stir as I approach my estate; he knows she’s waiting inside, and it angers me. After the senseless death of my third bride, I vowed never to take another woman, and if that meant the end of the Vega bloodline, then so be it.Another woman cannot die because of this beast; I won’t allow it.My father says this union will do the Vega pack good since we can extend our reach, but I know he’s only interested in the power it will bring. The decrepit mansion he was in is just for show; my father is greedy and wants to make money at all costs.“Fenrisúlfr,” Andreas calls me by the birthname I hate. My father named me after a monstrous wolf-god of Norse mythology aided in my self-hate.This beast only knows how to kill, maim and murder young women, and the self-depr
KonstantinIf I pace this room any more than I have, there will be a fucking dent in the concrete. “Are you fucking sure?” I ask my brother, who has finally decided to reveal what the old Alpha told him.“Why would I lie?” he scowls while crossing his arms.I stop walking and look at him. “Okay, then why not tell Fenriz this as well? Isn’t this something you think he needs to be aware of?” I ask, still not understanding my brother’s logic.“The old Alpha asked me not to tell his son about this as it will distract him from his current duties,” Kai says. I think he’s referring to the newest wife Fenriz will be killing.“So we’re doing this without his help, now that we know exactly what we’re up against?” I exclaim. We need Fenriz now more than ever; actually, we need all the fucking help we can get.Kai sighs and pinches the bridge of hi
LilyI take in my new surroundings and frown; what is this?It’s been about a week since Konstantin and my brother tried to breach the border and failed. Since then Stefan has been pleasant towards me, he doesn’t even touch me or try to scent me into submission.I know that this means something big is happening because there’s no way Stefan would just stop his abuse towards me. For the last few months, he’s been in here religiously, taking what he wanted and then leaving.So why has he stopped?The uncertainty is making my stomach churn and I have been on edge this entire time. I know that I should relax or calm down for the sake of the babies, but I can’t help this. Something is going to happen, I’m sure of it!Now this? Moving me into a different, more spacious room with two maids and someone to help me? What exactly is Stefan planning?A knock on the door and someone
