Caterina
I open my eyes to sunlight streaming into my room, and for a second, I am momentarily dazed as to what I was looking at; a heavily tattooed chest. Then the memory of what happened yesterday comes flooding back in waves.
I curl deeper into Kai’s arms, not wanting this to go away or, even worse, waking up in my bed back home to find out this has all been a dream. His arms pull me into a deeper embrace, and I feel something hard digging into my thigh. A blush blooms on my cheeks when I realise what it could be, so I just sink deeper into his arms.
“Hmm, Caterina,” he thrums in a deep voice laced thick with sleep. When I look up, his eyes are still closed, but he has a smile teasing his lips.
“Good morning,” I say in a small voice but hear the rumble in his chest at the sound of it. “Good, indeed,” he says, opening his eyes. “Did you sleep well?” As soon as he opened his eyes, that possessive string pulls taught, but I swallowed

Alpha Kai 11. Run
Caterina Thank God Kai doesn’t walk to that monster bike; instead, he comes to a stop in front of a beautiful sleek black sports car. He walks over to my side and opens the door for me, then smacks my behind before I can even sit down. I let out a yelp as I sit down, and when I look at him, he winks and closes the door. Naughty bastard. After that, we were off. The drive to the estate took about two hours. I’ve never driven in comfortable silence with anyone, but with Kai, it came naturally. “So who all lives on this estate?” I ask, turning my head towards the driver’s seat. “The elders, young pups, Betas who aren’t as tough and bloodthirsty as the ones which run at my flank. It’s a community of about 500+ people, but I see them all as my family, the ones I am sworn to protect.” He says as he watches the road. 500+ people?! That is like a small town! I have never known packs to be this huge; they might just be the largest wolf
Alpha Kai 12. Hunt
Kai I knew she was always meant to be mine, but it didn’t click until I saw her shift. This fucking woman was perfection personified, the Goddess made her to be mine in every way! Her coat was the same colour of obsidian as mine was, although my size outweighs hers, I watched her as she hunted the buck in front of us, her frame was lithe and graceful, every inch of the dancer that she was. I allowed her to lead the hunt, watching her moves from a distance and growling softly in approval. When she caught it and took it down, cracking its neck with the twist of her head, pride swelled in my chest. She looked up at me, nudging the dead animal with her nose in a signal that she wanted me to eat first. I’m the Alpha, so this was normal for me, but I shook my head and gestured for her to eat first. The surprise and confusion in her eyes worried me a bit, but I nudged the buck with my nose again and she understood what I meant. Cater
Alpha Kai 13. Challenge
Caterina I smelled her before I even opened my eyes. The scent of jealousy never truly changes, and right now, the scent is overwhelming. Vanya approaches Kai’s car tentatively, and I unlock my door, stepping out of the safety of the vehicle. This woman was just another Carlotta, coveting something that was not hers and would never truly be hers. After running with him this morning, my confidence and self-worth have risen tremendously. From being abused to being treated like a Queen, I am starting to see that I am so much more than a disappointment. She eyes me up and down, then lets out a scoff and crosses her arms in front of her chest. “I still can’t believe he would choose prey over a predator like himself,” she says, rolling her eyes. But I shake my head. “He chose a Queen over a Beta; there’s a difference,” I say, repeating Kai’s words and leaning against the car. Vanya closes the gap between us and gets right into my fa
Alpha Kai 14. Dance
Caterina It’s been three days, and Kai has been in and out of the penthouse without so much as a word uttered to me. I was beginning to feel as lonely here as I did back home with no one to talk to but my wolf, who was yearning for Kai. I’m sitting downstairs on a couch seated in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, reading a book and pecking at my fruit salad in front of me with my eyes momentarily flitting towards Viktor, who was my babysitter today. Kai had Nikolai training more since he’s the youngest. Apparently, he wants him prepared for whatever is heading our way. Sighing, I throw my book down and empty the fruit salad in the trash before I head upstairs. I’m slowly losing my mind here, and it felt like I was growing claustrophobic in this massive penthouse. I pace the bedroom floor, so close to pulling out my hair, when my eyes fall on my pointe shoes hanging in my walk-in. Kai bought some after finding out
Alpha Kai 15. Viktor
Caterina I hear a knock at my bedroom door and sit up as it opens. For some reason, I expected Kai to be the one who stood there, but I was surprised when I saw Viktor instead. He looked like Kai, piercing blue eyes and huge build, just with darker hair like Konstantin and where Kai had a light beard, Viktor was clean-shaven. He smiles at me, then cocks his head. “Come with me,” he says and walks out of the bedroom again. I frown at this; Viktor has not so much said a word to me, now he wanted me to follow him? Sighing, I slip into my ankle boots and follow the Volkov brother out. He stands by the door, chatting to the other bodyguards when he sees me approach and sends them off. “You’ve been cooped up here for the last three days, so I’m taking you back to the Blood Crest estate for a little bit.” He says out of the blue and I nearly jump up and hug him! I’m dying to get out of this penthouse! But before I cou
Alpha Kai 16. History
Caterina Viktor removes a set of keys from his jeans pocket and unlocks the massive oak doors. When we entered, I was seriously expecting a cloud of dust to assault my nose, but there was none. The place was impeccably kept as if it was waiting for its masters to return. The decor showed class and elegance, with every piece of art and furniture painstakingly chosen to compliment the other. I look around in awe; this mansion is magnificent. “Like what you see?” Viktor asks as he joins me in the living room. I nod. “It’s… wow,” Is all I could get out, and he chuckles as he walks further into the room. He comes to a stop in front of an intricate fireplace and looks up; this is when I notice the colossal family portrait above it. There were two adults with five young boys; the man was large and imposing, jet back shoulder-length hair and fierce dark brown eyes; three of the boys matched his appearance. The woman was beauti
Alpha Kai 17. Vanya
Caterina I lost Viktor after a couple of runs around the forest. He’s way faster than I am and is basically a blur when he runs; it didn’t help that I didn’t familiarise myself with his scent either. After a while, I gave up and wandered off on my own. I hear the sounds of a lake and make my way towards it, sniffing the air and listening for any sounds, but when I walk up to the lake, I freeze in my steps. There, having a drink in the lake, was a grey wolf. Its ears perk up when it hears me approach and spin around, growling when it sees me. I take a tentative step backwards but stop as there is something familiar about this wolf, so I inch forward towards it. It showed no signs of backing down, so I shifted back to show it that I meant no harm. The wolf’s ears perk up when it sees me, and then it sits back as it starts to shift as well. Long legs, curvy body, honey-coloured hair and piercing green eyes - Who else would be in
Alpha Kai 18. Gibbous
Caterina “So Kai’s position is called a Pakhan, and Konstantin is his Brigadier or second in command?” I asked Viktor, who was currently busy explaining how the hierarchy worked in the Bratva. He nods. “Yes, you’re getting the hang of it. We don’t work according to the entire structure since we’re werewolves, and Kai basically runs legitimate businesses. He refuses to touch drugs, which is something a normal mafia boss would be itching to get their hands into.” He explains as we sit in the powder room area that overlooks Central Park. It’s pretty exciting learning about a different mafia family, and from what Viktor has told me, there is a lot more to it than your average Italian mafia. There’s also much more honour amongst the Volkov family, something I am genuinely not used to. Viktor looks at his wristwatch and sighs. “It’s seven, and I think you’ve learned enough for today, little wolf.” He says and stretches out on the couch. I s
