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.

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
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 35. Kai's Mate
LilyI look down at the two perfect beings I’ve birthed and feel tears running down my face. To think both of them are mine and Konstantin’s… that after all this time…Did Stefan try to fool me by saying the other was his, or did he not know? I honestly cannot say, but the witch inside says that the blonde woman wants one of them back. Before I knew they were both babies and not one and a demon spawn, I wanted to give it away. Why would I want to keep a manifestation of evil?But things are different now, and even if my little girl has been injected with whatever Stefan put inside of her, I will still love her fiercely. We’ll take on whatever comes afterwards; I’m sure Konstantin feels the same way.However, just because my body has healed after all the abuse does not mean that my mind has. Whenever I doze off, I wake up in a cold sweat and imagine myself back on those chains with Stefan using m
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 36. Lost Years
Konstantin“WHY AM I IN HERE?! KAI! KON! GET ME OUT!”We’ve been listening to Dimitri’s screams over and over for the last hour, with neither of us knowing how to start with this. We’re used to torture, but now we’ll be torturing our own brother.“We should get this over with, Kai; time is running out,” I say, referring to his missing child.He nods. Then removes the silver knife from his holster and walks in with me right behind. Dimitri is naked from the waist up and shackled against the walls in the silver anchor chains; we’ve also removed the wolfsbane planters for now but left the humidifier in here.“Ready to talk, brother?” Kai asks, walking towards him with the silver knife.“How many times do I have to say this? I don’t know what you’re talking about!” He repeats again.I sigh and put a hand on Kai’s shoulder
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 37. After Effects
Konstantin We’ve taken Dimitri back to his penthouse, but we have him tied up with silver. Even if his disposition is to be believed, there is no way we can trust him now. I don’t even think we can repair that trust. Yeah, I am aware that Dimitri might have been under the influence of the parasite, but the point remains… he never trusted us to help him. “We need to figure out what we’re going to do from now on,” I say as the two of us walk to the SUV with Marle in tow. “The longer your child stays away-” “I know that!” Kai roars, denting the side of the SUV with a punch. “I fucking know.” He then leans his arms against the hood and rests his head. “I don’t know what the fuck we’re going to do, Kon.” I let out a sigh and walked to him, placing my hand on his shoulder until he turned around to face me. “We’ll figure something out; we always do,” I say. “There is something we can try,” Marle suddenly speaks up, and both o
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 38. Second Parasite
Konstantin“Are you okay?” Kai asks after I walk downstairs for a breather. I just went to check on Lily, but she was passed out with the babies.I give him a tight smile as I enter the kitchen. “I’ll learn to bear it, don’t worry. I knew the consequences and would do it again in a heartbeat.” I say and take a bottle of beer from the refrigerator. I’ll have to work through it, I know. This first time surprised me, but I’ll be ready for it next time.I think.“Marle is busy contacting the blonde bitch so we can do the deal. Apparently, all she needs is a lock of the baby’s hair to create an image of it. The image will disappear as soon as the bitch runs away with what she wants.” Kai says, thankfully changing the subject.“Do we trust the bitch not to come after us when she discovers she’s been fooled?” I ask, seeing a giant loophole in that plan.
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 39. Trade Off
KaiWe’ve collected Kon’s SUV, and now we’re on our way to meet the woman who has been behind everything that has gone wrong with my pack and family. She influenced the witches who helped the Sable Hides take out the Silver Sun pack and hide Caterina from me. She’s the reason Dimitri is now a lost soul with no recollection of what he has done for the last twelve years.And the main reason we have now lost our trust in him.After having a long talk with Marle, I already knew what needed to be done; how we’ll finally be rid of the blight on our pack. Kon won’t like it, but fuck it, the entire pack’s safety is at stake, and as Alpha, I need to make the tough decisions.“We’ve arrived,” I say and stop the SUV. Marle nods at me, then turns to face Kon.“Both you and Kai will do the exchange; listen to whatever your brother instructs you to do. It’s imper
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 40. Pure Light
LilyI don’t think I had ever felt the peace that settled in my heart when I opened my eyes and saw Konstantin lying next to me. After everything I went through at the hands of Stefan, he still saw me as his mate and had to rescue me. I know I’m tainted goods, but the look in Konstantin’s eyes when he sees me says different.To think, only a few hours prior, I was ready to die alongside my child; now, both of us have been given a second chance. I’m not letting anything happen to my children or me, not after what I have been through.Konstantin stirs and breathes out a sigh. I don’t know why, but this little action makes me smile, so I draw my hand to his face and cup his cheek. How am I so lucky to be here again? Laying next to my mate and our children feels like I have died and gone to heaven. Or perhaps I am still chained up in Stefan’s dungeon, and this is all a dream?I wouldn’t put that cruel
