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!

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
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 41. Visiting Dimitri
Konstantin“You sure about this?” I ask Kai as I press the elevator button. My brother has had a bad feeling about Dimitri since we left here last night, and he couldn’t keep quiet about it. Lily told me to go with him to see what it could be about, or we would not hear the end of it.“You can’t tell me you don’t think this has all ended a bit too easily,” he says, keying in the code to Dimitri’s penthouse and gritting his teeth.No, I didn’t want to fucking think about it. We’ve been through so fucking much already, and I didn’t want to dig up more problems. I wanted to remain blissfully ignorant until I couldn’t take it anymore.“It’s always something,” I grumble and lean back against the railing with my arms crossed. Damn it, give me a break!“You’re right; it is always fucking something with our family and pack. But as the Alph
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 42. Children's Blessing
Lily“Fuck, Konstantin, calm down. It’s just a few people! They’ll be fine!” I say through gritted teeth for the tenth time.“I don’t trust ANY of those sons of bitches around my fucking children!” He replies, not letting me near the twins’ wooden cribs.I growl and pinch the bridge of my nose. “Move the fuck away or so help me….” I trail off and feel Kai standing behind us, chuckling. “Kai, please tell your brother to move away from the cribs.”He walks inside, and I turn around, immediately melting at the huge Alpha with a tiny baby in his arms. Little Kira has him completely wrapped around her little finger at three weeks old; it doesn’t help that she looks exactly like Caterina, just with the Volkov blonde hair.As usual, we had to wait for a full moon to do the Children’s Blessing; however, I am already back in the pack.
