26. Weapon Acquired
Konstantin
Kai 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
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 32. BloodCrest Traitor
Konstantin“Brother…” I trail off, taking a cautious step towards Kai, whose scent is unreadable. He’s holding Cat closely, her body all but healed from giving birth. She’s staring straight ahead,“Kai, what-”“He took my baby. After injecting everyone with something, he ripped my child from my hands and walked out.” Cat says, continuing to stare at nothing. “The traitor has been Dimitri all along.”“Who says I’m sane? I’m just good at acting; a smiling viper with nothing to worry about.”Dimitri’s words echo through my head as my heart shatters and a blinding pain hits my chest, doubling me over. The witches awaken and scream, feeling the exact same pain as I did. I look up at Kai, his stony face giving nothing away - no emotion on his face even as Dimitri rejects our pack.Zephyr and Nova stir as well, slowly get
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 33. Fleeting Moment
Konstantin Kai pulls me out of the bedroom and looks at me with wide eyes. “What the fuck does this mean?” He asks me as if I have the fucking answer right now. “It means that even the demonic child is a Volkov, and we cannot exchange one for the other. No matter how we look at it, that child is family.” Cat says and comes up behind us. She looks at Kai and sighs. “This won’t end well.” Kai growls and punches the wall next to me. “What the fuck are we going to do now?!” Marle walks out and looks at the three of us.“They can’t kill your child; it’s their bargaining chip. I need to get in contact with Morganna to find out exactly what they’re planning. Give me a few minutes.” She says, then touches my arm. “Lilith is waiting for you.” I look up at Kai and Cat when she says this, guilt creeping into my heart at the fact that I can experience this with Lily while they can’t. What do I do or say to my brother in this si
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 34. Equal Trade
Konstantin“Any news?” I ask as I step into the living room where Kai, Cat, Nikolai and Marle are seated. Kai was now dressed in black cargo pants and no shirt, and Cat changed out of her bloody dress.The witch looks at me and nods. “Morganna wants to trade Kai’s child for the one housing the entity.” She says, confirming Cat’s earlier assumption.“We don’t expect you to do this, Kon, so we won’t even ask it of you,” Kai says, then gets up and walks towards me. “We’ll find another way to get my child back.”I shake my head. “What if there is no other way, Kai? I don’t want your firstborn to die on account of me!”What the fuck are we going to do?! We can’t leave his child in the hands of the enemy, and we can’t trade my daughter either. We’re literal sitting ducks right fucking now!“There’s still tr
