ARIEL

I knew what he was asking. Not just about the summit, about what we'd done. What we'd shared. I could see flashbacks in my head.

"I'm not ready," I said. "Besides, what's there to talk about? I already told you, it won't happen again."

He nodded slowly. "I'm not asking you to talk about it now. We can talk about it later. And yes, it will happen again."

I opened my mouth, but promptly closed it. I had no response to what he said. He smirked, he looked like he was gloating.

  • Claimed By The Wolf Kings   Chapter 120 - Think about her

    We reached the hospital soon enough, Nikolai was by my side, our boots clicking against the linoleum, our faces set in grim lines.The witness, Kara Wilson was in a private room I had asked her to be put in at the end of the hall. Two men stood outside the door, my own me , handpicked and trusted. They nodded when they saw me."She's stable," one of them said. "The doctors say she'll recover.""Good."I pushed open the door.Kara was lying in the hospital bed, her face pale, and her eyes hollow. She was connected to monitors and IVs, her hands folded on top of the blanket.She looked up when I entered. Her eyes widened."Alpha Kazimir Rossi. What? How?” "Kara." I crossed the room, stopping at the foot of her bed. "I'm sorry this happened to you. We vowed that we would give you our protection and we failed to.” "It's not your fault." Her voice was hoarse. "To be honest, working for Alpha Kane made me quite a lot of enemies back in the day. I only thought one of them had caught up to

  • Claimed By The Wolf Kings   Chapter 119 - Retrieve her

    ARIEL I wanted to follow him. The moment Kazimir walked out the door, I was on my feet, reaching for my shoes, my keys and anything. I couldn't just sit here while the witness who was the only one who could get me out of this mess was fighting for her life. I couldn't just wait and worry and do nothing. But Kazimir's words echoed in my head. Stay here. Please.And Nikolai's voice on the phone, calm and steady. We've got this, Ariel. Don't worry. For once, I believed them. They could handle this all on their own. All I had to do was wait. I sank back onto the bed. Pressed my palms against my eyes and tried to breathe.I hated this. Hated feeling helpless. Hated waiting.But I stayed.---Lev and I met in the kitchen an hour later. I was staring at a cup of tea I hadn't touched, my mind a thousand miles away. He sat across from me, his expression careful."How are you? Where’s Evie. It’s time," he said. "Routine checkup. Nothing to worry about.""I'll come with you.""You don't have

  • Claimed By The Wolf Kings   Chapter 118 - Mine

    KAZIMIR I found Scarlet in the foyer. She was standing by the door, her coat already on, her hand on the handle. She looked up when I entered, and something flickered in her eyes, surprise, or maybe it was guilt. "Kazimir." "Don't leave yet." She sighed. Let go of the handle. Turned to face me. She looked ashamed. Good. She should be. "I was just leaving." "I know." I crossed the room, stopping a few feet away. "We need to talk." "About what?" "About Dimitri." Her expression didn't change. "What about him?" "He's my brother. He might look and act tough, but he’s a big softie when it comes to things like this. He's been hurt before." I paused. "And you're using him." "I'm not using him." "You're sleeping with him. You're wearing his clothes. You're playing house." I stepped closer. "What do you really want, Scarlet?" She was quiet for a moment. Then: "I want what I always wanted. A place to belong." "You had a place. Here. With us. And you left." "I had t

  • Claimed By The Wolf Kings   Chapter 117 - My hands

    ARIEL Kazimir and Dimitri wouldn’t tell me what happened between the two of them. But from the scene I found in their room, I could see what had happened. Kazimir had found Scarlet in the room with Dimitri and he wasn’t happy about that. I wondered how he would react, his own brother sleeping with bi ex girlfriend. Well, now I has an answer to that question. He was definitely not happy about it. He wasn’t happy about any of it and part of me wondered if that was why Dimitri did it. He didn’t seem like the type to lash out to find attention from his brother, but maybe he did it to spite Kazimir in a way. I found Tessa in the lab that evening. I wanted to check on her before going back to my room. Just to make sure she was okay. She was sitting on a stool, staring at the wall, her hands folded in her lap. The pregnancy test was still on the counter, the one she'd used, the one that had saved us all. I closed the door behind me. "Tessa." She looked up at me, I could tell she

  • Claimed By The Wolf Kings   Chapter 116 - What is going on?

    KAZIMIR The test was positive.I stared at the little plastic stick in Ariel's hand, my mind blank. How was it positive? Was Ariel really carrying my child? My own flesh and blood? What could that mean? My child.For one terrible moment, the world tilted. I couldn't breathe or even form a correct sentence. I stood there, frozen, while a thousand thoughts crashed through my head.What are the odds? What are the odds that she would take a pregnancy test and it would all of a sudden turn out positive? A baby. Ariel is pregnant. I'm going to be a father.Then I saw her face and her mouth moving, as she told me Tessa had taken the test and something deflated in my head. I was teleported back into my own reality, this isn't real. She's not pregnant and Tessa took the test.The relief was immediate and overwhelming. Then came the guilt. The shame. For one moment, one terrible, wonderful moment I'd wanted it to be real."Ariel." My voice was rough. "That was close. Very close."She nodde

  • Claimed By The Wolf Kings   Chapter 115 - Positive

    ARIEL The next day, we had to fake pregnancy test results and scans. So Lev called in favors. They had to find a way to fabricate the test results from a real and reputable hospital so the council wouldn’t be suspicious. It had to be real enough so that when they were doing their own digging around, they wouldn’t be able to find the real truth. It had to be as real as an actual pregnancy. "We need something official," Lev said. "Something with a seal and a valid signature. Something the council can't disprove.""I have a good contact at the city hospital," Tessa said. "She owes me. She can create a fake document, a lab result with a positive pregnancy test. It'll look legitimate and it’s a legitimate hospital.""How long?""Two days. Maybe more.""Two days is enough. We can’t do more days.""I know. I'm working on it."---While they worked, I spent time with Evie. She was in my room, playing with her stuffed animals, making up stories about wolves and dragons and princesses who co

  • Claimed By The Wolf Kings   4- The beginning

    KAZIMIR The study smelled of aged whiskey and cigarettes. I poured myself a drink, the crystal glass cold against my fingers, and stared into the amber liquid like it held answers. Nikolai slouched in one of the leather chairs, spinning a knife between his fingers. "So. What's the plan, brothe

  • Claimed By The Wolf Kings   3- Meeting the Rossis

    ARIEL The car door slammed shut behind me, the sound final as a coffin closing. Kazimir hadn't spoken a word since we left the club, his silence more unnerving than any threat. Through the tinted windows, I watched the city lights blur into nothing as we climbed higher into the mountains, putting

  • Claimed By The Wolf Kings   2 - Ghost from the past.

    KAZIMIR I didn’t come through the front door because I knew Maddox would run if he ever heard I was in his shitty club. He would use the chance to sneak away like the slimy frog he was and hide for the next couple of months before my men found him again. No. I took the back exit, the one reekin

  • Claimed By The Wolf Kings   5- Mine

    KAZIMIR The scent of wolfsbane and gun oil clung to the air as I strode through the weapons room. My brothers moved like extensions of my own will, Lev filling syringes with lethal precision, Nikolai loading silver rounds with that fucking grin of his, Dimitri already melting into the shadows wit
