23. Nova's Story
Konstantin
Kai instructed me to take Nova to Nikolai’s penthouse. He still couldn’t bring himself to empty it out, so he just had a cleaner come in twice a week to keep it dust-free. Now on top of everything else, we have this to worry about. Nikolai might still be alive, and he probably got taken the night he died.
The only type of person who can fool an Alpha is a witch - Kai’s least favourite supernatural being.
We step into Nikolai’s penthouse, and Nova stops walking. I’m about to ask her if something is wrong when I see her shoulders shaking, and she lets out a sniff.
“This is his scent,” she murmurs, then turns to look at me. “This is Nikolai!”
I can’t help but smile at her pure reaction and her wide-eyed innocence. She may not be Nikolai’s type of girl, but I can tell she’s being genuine.

KonstantinKai and Cat are spending the evening with Nova so that I can head to this meeting with the Rogue Alpha in peace. I don’t know what to expect, and to be honest, I hate this; too many things are happening all at once, and it’s pissing me off.Now I wonder what is in store for me with this fucking Rogue. What does he want from me, and why ask for me and not Kai?I suppose that I won’t know unless I meet him, so here we go.Placing my helmet on top of my motorcycle, I walk inside and can already catch the unknown scent of Rogues inside. I round the corner and spot him immediately; how could I fucking not?He’s tall, with a broad build that lets me know he’s fought for his position; he has dark hair, short and faded and long on top with the piercing blue eyes of a Rogue. Not only that but there’s a scent of True Alpha on him.This actually makes me want to know his story.
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 25. Tomorrow Night
Konstantin “Start from the top,” Kai orders, leading Cat over to a chair at my desk. Both of them were still reeling at the bomb Cain had just dropped on them, and emotions were quite high. Cain nods then launches into the same story he told me - including the fact that he worked as a mercenary for Stefan. “I came here seeking your help in reclaiming my territory, but it seems that I’ll be the one leaving with more than I thought I would.” He says, his eyes falling on a wide-eyed Caterina. “Those scars on your neck, who caused them?” Cat asks, looking small in the plush leather seat next to Kai. Cain blinks at her question, then his eye flashes blue, catching her off guard. “Alberto Argenti with his claws dipped in vamp blood; he was ruthless at the time and vied for the spot of Alpha. He also raped my mother and forced my father to watch.” He says through gritted teeth, his jaw tensing up as he speaks. I l
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 26. Weapon Acquired
KonstantinKai called me late afternoon the following day to let me know that the witches had arrived at the estate and I needed to get my ass over there. Cat is there as well; she wouldn’t stay put no matter how Kai ordered her to.Sounds like Cat, ha.The anticipation is at a dangerous level inside of me; I need to know what we can do to eliminate the obstacle in front of us. Everything rides on this weapon, and my instincts tell me it needs to be done no matter what.I stop my motorcycle in front of the mansion and run inside, catching the faint whiff of blood - the usual scent of these witches from Norway. They’ve dabbled in such dark magic that their entire aura is tainted blood red with the same smell as a fresh kill. Kai hates them but knows he needs them.When she sees me enter the living room, Marle turns her head, and so does Kai and Cat. “Brother,” he greets me with a nod and beckons me over.
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 27. Alpha Meeting
Konstantin When Kai and I parked our motorcycles outside Fang, we already had our shit figured out. Of course, this plan heavily depends on where Stefan is located because as much as he doesn’t want to admit it, Kai is out for blood. The fucker might have taken Nikolai, and from what Nova has told us, our little brother is still alive. That in itself is enough to drive Kai to a massacre. “Everyone’s here,” Kai says when we step inside the bar, and I can see what he means. We closed the club for tonight, so we all could meet and plan out our attack for tomorrow. The scents in here would have knocked your average wolf to the ground in submission, but no one is backing down, not even Zephyr. Gathered were Dimitri and Zephyr from our pack; they were behind the bar, watching everyone. Cain, who did not look happy at all, with his two Betas sitting on my stage, and last but not least, three members from Hellfire Horsemen witho
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 28. Youngest Sacrifice
LilyMy head is killing me, and the sunlight peeking through the window is not helping. I sit up and notice that I have been moved yet again, and this time Stefan has me shackled to the bed. I don’t know how long I’ve been knocked out; all I can remember is that when my supposed ‘mother’ returned, she injected me with something.I guess she knew that I suspected her.I don’t know what Stefan has planned this time around, but my heart won’t stop thundering, and from the movement of the babies, they must feel it as well.I hear footsteps at the door and expect Stefan to walk in, but instead, voices get carried through the door. Did they think I’m still knocked out?“... this better be the truth,” Stefan says, the anger in his voice making me lay down and clamp my eyes shut.“Have I ever lied to you?”The second voice made me sit up so fast that I sa
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 29. Night Before
KonstantinI file into my penthouse, and everyone follows suit. “There are empty rooms downstairs, food and beer in the refrigerator and hard liquor in the cellar; make yourselves at home, but just don’t break my shit,” I tell the Rogues and Zephyr while walking towards the kitchen.Fucking starved, I headed home and invited them all over to stay here before we leave for Brooklyn tomorrow. I haven’t been able to eat much the past few weeks, but now that I know we have a chance to get Lily back tomorrow, I am ravenous.“Where’s Dimitri?” Cain asks and gestures for a beer from the fridge when he sits down at the kitchen island.“He went with Kai to the estate; the witches want to put a 48-hour binding spell on his beast until they can figure out why he can’t control it yet,” I say, taking a seat opposite him after ordering takeout. “Hope you guys like pizza.”Cai
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 30. Mission Start
KonstantinSince we arrived a few minutes ago, something has felt off, and it’s not the dagger taking occupancy in my holster.“Did you guys take out all the men already?” I mutter as we make our way onto the property after searching. We are currently crouched down at the northern entrance and have not seen a soul.Kai and I have known the layout since we killed Cat’s family last time. Stefan had men on constant patrol at his villa in Jersey, so where were they now?“No, it was like this when we arrived two hours ago; no movement from inside,” Ryker replies from the south entrance.“Same thing on the west and east entrances, as well as the woods behind the estate,” Cain says. “We’ve searched the place twice, not a soul or scent out of place.”I look at Kai, not liking this one bit. “It’s way too fucking quiet here,” I say, and he nods.
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 31. Alpha Roar
KonstantinRage gripped my heart when I saw her tied to a black altar, like some sort of sacrificial lamb. Kai got Nikolai down from the chains holding him and the Rogues have Stefan up against the wall, waiting for me to kill him.“Are you okay?” I hear Kai whisper to Nikolai, who nods and starts to talk to Kai about something that I tune out. There’s a reason for the whispering, and I won’t intrude.Lily smiles and nods when I tell her what I’m about to do, and my heart just about bursts out of my chest. I never thought I would see her smile at me like this ever again and my wolf just about howled because of it.We did it; we saved my mate, and our little brother is still alive. Stefan will pay for this with his fucking life, and I will make sure his reign of terror ends tonight.I kiss her forehead again and walk over to where the Rogues have the fucker pinned to the wall and remove the dagger from
