Hello, readers!
I hope you guys have enjoyed reading Konstantin's exploits as much as I loved writing about them! Unfortunately, this book will be coming to a close within the next two days, so I would like some feedback from you!
Which story would you like to see next?
Dimitri or Nikolai?
I'm looking forward to hearing back from you lovely readers and Bren* thank you for following my story even though Caterina made you want to slap her through the screen while reading Alpha Kai :P
I appreciate all of you, you have no idea how much your little notes and comments encouraged me. Until the next book! xxx
KonstantinI walk into The Slip the following day and head towards Kai’s office. He hasn’t done many changes to this club since Vanya left except bump up the security detail around the girls. Human patrons won’t be able to tell the difference, but all the bartenders and a few random ‘patrons’ inside the club are Enforcers.When I enter the office, my brother looks up, and I spot Marle standing off to the side with her arms crossed. Even I can tell that she’s exhausted; oh well, all in a day’s work for a BloodCrest witch.“Okay, since we’re all here, you might as well start, Marle,”She exhales and launches into a plan for the pack and its safety. This requires her doing a mass check of every pack member for foreign entities, securing their minds against hexes and then strengthening the borders of the estate. We’re not taking any chances now that we know our father has been
Konstantin I didn’t mention to Dimitri how pissed off Kai sounded over the mind link, and his urgent tone is making me haul ass towards his club. I mean, I’m glad for the separation from Dimitri and his depressive funk, but if something got Kai pissed off, I would rather deal with the sad brother than the angry one. It’s 9 pm, usually the best time to keep the clubs open, but as I round the corner into Billionaire’s Row, I see no cars or people - it is empty. “What the fuck?” Dimitri asks as he unclasps his seatbelt and looks around. “Where the fuck is everybody?” I’m feeling just as fucking confused, especially when we get closer to The Slip, and I see Kai standing outside with Nikolai next to him. They turn their heads when they see our approach and when we get out of the SUV, they walk toward us. “What’s going on?” I ask with a frown, and my confusion deepens when I see Kai’s double irises on display and the absolute fucking anger in his scent. Something has pissed him off so
Nikolai I know I shouldn’t be here again, I know I should head home and resume the mission Kai has sent me on, but I can’t help it. The pull is too strong; HER pull is too strong. I should probably just reject her for real this time and get on with my life, but staring at temptation for so long only makes me want it more. It’s been nearly four years since I spoke with Nova, four years since I caught her scent and promised to win her over again… and four years since I’ve done jack shit about it. But it’s not because I don’t want to, fuck no. We’re at war with two other packs, and there is so much death surrounding us now. I don’t want to drag Nova into the middle of this; I don’t want her to be caught in the crossfire. So I’ve resigned myself to coming to this seedy bar the Rogue Alpha owns, the bar she works in so that I can watch her from afar. I never approach her, never stare too long to catch anyone’s attention, and I do not r
Prologue - Lily, 19 Years OldGiven to the Russian mafia; my brother truly had no respect for me.How can I consciously describe the anger that I am feeling right now? Sitting on a million-dollar private jet and heading for New York, I feel like nothing more than a slave sold off to appease an Alpha, even if that Alpha looked like he had zero interest in me.How could my brother do this to me? After everything I have done to show him that I am worthy of being his Beta! After all the training I went through, the beatings, the abuse! He promised me that he would consider me for the role if I completed my training, but what did I expect from a beast who has murdered three of his wives?I clench my jaw, then look at the two men in front of me; both imposing and tall with the air of Russian royalty about them. Kai Volkov was everything the rumours said and more; tall, built like a panzer tank, and no emotion evident in his blue eyes.The intimidation in
**BEFORE THE EVENTS OF ALPHA KAI**LilyIt’s been ten years since I became Konstantin’s second in command, ten years since he took me under his wing… and ten years that I have been in love with him. He trusts me as much as he trusts his brothers, and I know him inside out, yet he only looks at me as if I am his younger sister.Why would he see me as anything else, though? I am only the person who makes sure his day runs smoothly, and everything gets sorted out for him. Why should he be in love with me when I am only a scentless halfbreed?Sighing as I walk towards his office, I wonder if I would be able to keep this up for another ten years. To watch him find his mate and fall in love, have pups and live happily ever after. The mere thought breaks my heart, knowing that he would never truly be mine.Konstantin is Russian royalty, whereas I’m… just his personal slave.I knock on his office door
KonstantinSitting opposite me, looking as beautiful as the first time I saw her, is the woman I thought would always be at my side. She waits for something from me, staring at me with her beautiful, big blue eyes and her lips withdrawn in a pout.Her words hit me harder than I expected, and right now, I feel nothing but anger and a sense of possession. Lily is mine; she has always been mine, and yet… How wrong could I have been? Of course, she would meet her mate. Who was I to think that she would be mine forever just because she’s scentless?I return her smile, knowing she’s only seeking my approval at the fact she wants to leave, but unfortunately, I cannot give that right now.“Congratulations, Lily,” I say, leaning forward and touching her cheek again. She belonged to someone else, yet… whenever I touch her like this, it drives me crazy. My fingers burn when I touch her skin, even when we’r
LilyHe didn’t even care…Dismissing me with a final order instead of asking me who my mate is, if I am certain I want to leave or if I will be safe where I am headed to. Not that I had an answer to any of those questions anyway.I tested Konstantin to see if he cared about me, and by his answers, I know now that he doesn’t. He never did in the first place, and now he’s letting me go.Just like that.I breathe out a sigh and make my way towards the bar, intending to drown my sorrows with a few glasses of vodka.How could I have been so stupid? I didn’t think Konstantin would believe my lie, but he did. Of course, I haven’t found my mate; trash half-breeds like me aren’t that lucky. But he readily believed the lie. Has he been waiting to throw me aside all this time?Four neat vodkas deep, and the anger is just surging inside of me. I fell in love with an idiot and expected hi
Konstantin How am I going to survive my days with this inept person taking Lily’s place? I’ve watched him make a fool out of himself for the last few hours, and Lily has had to jump in to save the day as usual. Will I have to whip him into shape when she leaves? Because it looks like he’s in no way ready to be my PA, much less my second in command and most trusted. I don’t know if it’s the bitterness at her leaving that has put me in this mood, but there is a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, knowing she will no longer be here. She was mine, but then again, she wasn’t. To say that I will miss her is putting it lightly; it already feels like a part of myself is missing. And now I have to watch as Stefan lusts after her the entire night. He’s taken a liking to her, I can tell. Who wouldn’t? For the step sister of a Lycan beast, Lily is beautiful, but the worst part is that she doesn’t know this. From the curve of her hips t
