Lily
It’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
KonstantinI step into my club and breath out an annoyed sigh. It is such a fucked up thing knowing that even as Lily is out there have fuck knows what done to her, I have to go about my day as usual. Yeah, I get it, we’re Bratva, and the show must go on but fuck. I hate it.Zephyr walks into my office and starts giving me the rundown of things. From what he’s telling me, I gather that things have been running smoothly. Apparently, there’s a new bout of regulars in from Hell’s Kitchen, and they’ve been itching to meet me, especially the Alpha.“Did they say what they wanted?” I ask.Zephyr shakes his head. “Nope, but from what I’ve noticed, they’re a pack of Rogues with one man leading them and calling himself Alpha.”My eyebrows raise up at this. “Oh? A pack of Rogues? That’s interesting but not unheard of, I guess. Usually, the Rogues keep out of BloodC
LilyA sense of calm has come over me since meeting my mother again. She tells me stories about how life was after leaving my father, how she’s always had to look over her shoulder even after changing her appearance. My father is more evil than Fenriz could ever be by the sounds of things, but Fenriz has definitely got the temper from him.Especially the thirst for killing Maiden Lunas.My babies stir as my mother places her hand on my stomach, and she lets out a squeal.“Oh, he’s saying hello to me!” she gushes, rubbing my swollen belly gently.I giggle at this and pop another cube of raw beef into my mouth; it seems the twins have been craving it lately, and it’s understandable. One is a carnivore after all, and the other… well….“I can’t wait to meet him,” she croons and kisses my stomach.“You mean them, you can’t wait to meet th
