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.

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
Alpha Kai 19. Taste
Caterina I’ve been lying on this bed for the last hour and a half, mortified to death about my behaviour last night. My throat hurts from screaming so much, and my legs still feel shaky. Kai is still fast asleep behind me, his morning erection digging into my lower back. Oh, my gosh, how am I going to face him? He made me sit on his face and ride his mouth, pleasured me from the back, with both his fingers and tongue all while I begged for it! What the hell, three more days of this? I need to be chained up! His arm tightens around me, and I hear him groan as he snuggles into my neck. “Caterina,” he whispers my name, and it sends a shiver down my spine. “Good morning,” I answer in a small voice, my face burning in embarrassment, and I hear him chuckle. “What is this anxiety I smell? Are you remembering what I did to you last night?” he asks, gripping me tightly and grinding against my back. “Are
Alpha Kai 20. Gifts
Caterina It is only when Kai finally leaves that I am able to breathe properly. The last few hours with him have been filled with lust and need; I can’t breathe when I am around him. When he’s near, I have the filthiest thoughts, and he makes me want to act on them. Like when I sucked him off in the shower; how the hell! I would never have done that, but he makes me want every part of him. Damnit, the full moon needs to hurry up; I cannot sit with this need for another month! Taking a deep breath, I grabbed my handbag and was about to head downstairs when I noticed how heavy it felt. Frowning, then suddenly my eyes widen as I remember the hidden journals I had found! I could have been reading them all this time, but instead, I got hot and heavy with Kai last night. Gosh. Hiding them in my walk-in, I head out of the door to meet whoever my babysitter for the day would be. Thank God, it’s Viktor! He sees me approach and
Alpha Kai 21. Watching
Kai I’m trying to contain my anger right now, but I feel that resolve slipping as well. “Where the fuck were you? I thought I told you four not to let them out of your sight, now this?” I exclaim, pointing to the three hearts and severed heads taking up residence on my desk. Three more girls murdered, three more failures settling deep into my bones. “Boss, we literally followed them everywhere right up to the doorstep of their apartments and only allowed them inside after we did a sweep of the place, inside and out. We took turns watching the apartment and gave them space as you asked. But it was only when we went to collect them for work when we noticed they were missing and called you immediately.” One of my enforcers, Lee, spoke up. Pinching the bridge of my nose, I let out a frustrated sigh and dismissed them with the wave of my hand. I look at the ‘gifts’ left on my desk and grit my teeth in frustration. “How does
Alpha Kai 22. Journals
Caterina I could still feel its stare on me even as I sat on my bed at the penthouse. It felt dangerous and otherworldly, and I know it had its eyes on me. How did it know who I was? Trying to shake off my fear, I walk towards my walk-in and scratch around for those hidden journals. I had to take my mind off of this bad feeling, and I think this will help. Climbing back onto the bed, I take a wet wipe from my handbag and wipe the leather covers to reveal a word: Волков. I frown at this, then remove my phone from my handbag and search for a scan to translate app on the web. When I eventually found one and had the app translated, it did not surprise me at what it came up with: Volkov. These must be the ancestor journals! When I open the books, I sigh as I realise that the owner wrote both of them in Russian. Feeling like a spy, I opened the scan-to-translate app again and started my investigation. March 1801
Alpha Kai 23. Chained
Caterina I stayed up all night, wondering what Dmitry had meant by the term ‘hybrid’. Was there something sinister running in the Volkov genes? I waited for Kai to come home so I could discuss this with him, but he never pitched. Usually, he would come in late, but last night he didn’t even make it home; I wonder if something happened again. On second thought, Kai has so much on his plate already. I can’t exactly add that he might be a hybrid beast of some sort. This will only knock him down more, so I made up my mind to instead talk to Viktor about it when I see him today. It was 8 am when I eventually roused from my sleep with the knowledge that today would be the day Kai claims me as his mate. The nerves set in when I got out of bed and worsened when I stood under a cold shower. My heart sat in my throat as I dried myself off, and I tried to calm myself down, but nothing was helping. My eyes caught my reflection in the mirror, and
Alpha Kai 24. Failed
Caterina When I get back to the penthouse, I see a familiar body pacing the entryway and run to meet him. “Viktor!” I exclaim, wrapping my arms around his neck and breathing in his familiar scent, but something was wrong. I let go of him, realizing that he didn’t even hold me back, and when I look into his eyes, I see nothing but worry. “Caterina, I got her,” he says, then pulls me towards the powder room. We stand in front of the large windows, and he leans his head against it. I place a hand on his upper arm, and he looks towards me. “Tell me,” I say, but he shakes his head, and his face crumples up while he slides to the floor. “I can’t; you’ll be in danger as well. I thought I could trust him, but I was wrong! How could he do this to me?!” Viktor exclaims, sobbing silently. I sit down next to him and wrap my arms around him. “You need to go to Kai with this, Viktor. No matter what it is, you need to tell him.” I sa
Alpha Kai 25. Calmed
Caterina Kai never came. It was midnight when I went to Nikolai’s penthouse with a bodyguard in tow to let him loose and help him to the bed as he passed out. Afterwards, I eventually willed myself to fall asleep, without a mate and no one to claim me. Was something out there more important than me? It seems that I am left behind yet again and this time by the man who swore to protect me and claim me as his Luna. A whimper woke me, and something warm pressed up against my back. I opened my eyes, and for a second, I didn’t remember where I was - until his scent reminded me. Kai was in bed with me, his arm a vice around my waist. I sigh and check the time on the bedside table: 5 am. So he eventually came home, but not when I needed him to. My inner wolf curls up at the scent of our mate, and I find myself feeling incredibly happy even though my heart was steeped in misery. Another whimper, then a whine, and my eyes shoot open ag
