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.
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 43. Bad Memories
KonstantinSomething is off about that woman on Fenriz’s arm. I know it’s none of my business, but there’s dark shit surrounding her. Should I warn him about it? She’s his mate, though; will he listen?I look over at Lily with the twins in the stroller and how the entire pack seems to be enamoured with them. It’s understandable; they’re Volkov heirs and will run the pack one day. But as I look over at Kai and his little family, I wonder if Cat will be prepared to hand over the Alpha mantle to her daughter, knowing what the ritual involved.“Konstantin,” I hear the gruff voice of the Rogue Alpha, Cain, as he approaches me from behind. Dressed in black and drinking a Cola, he looked every bit as intimidating as he tried to look, but something was different.“Cain, didn’t think you’d make it,” I say and take his hand, which he shakes.He shrugs. &ldquo
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta Nikolai Prologue
Nikolai/“She’s here,”//“I know that, Knight, shut up about it already.”/Jasmine, peppermint and peaches - these springtime scents have been driving me wild all afternoon. I know it’s my mate; I know it's the one who I rejected, so why can’t I get her out of my head? Didn’t I sever the Mate Bond by rejecting her?My brother only met his mate in his late thirties, and the rest of my brothers, except Viktor, met theirs in their late twenties. I didn’t expect to meet my mate any time soon, which is why I’ve always played the field. But to know I met her and rejected her without even knowing about it, without my fucking consent!I’ve been pissed off ever since Konstantin told me about this, knowing that I can’t do a damn thing about it. I don’t remember ever meeting her, yet I rejected the person fated to be mine, and it fucking hurt
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 44. Good Enough
Lily It’s been six months… six hard months of motherhood, pack problems, work and continuous nightmares. I wake up every night screaming; we’ve had to move the twins out of our room because of it. I don’t know… I was fine, well, at least I thought I was. I can’t explain the anxiety that coils in my stomach on a daily basis, how my skin feels dirty even as I stand underneath a scalding shower and how my heartbeat never seems to slow down. Konstantin has been understanding, but I know he is growing tired of this. It’s been nearly a year since he claimed me, and we haven’t been intimate since. Not that we haven’t gotten close… I just freeze up when he gets on top of me. I know he understands… but his beast doesn’t. How do I move on from being abused? It’s not like I can just walk into a therapist’s office and tell them I was being held as a sex slave to a demon who wanted to use my womb to birth his master. But I can’t exactly talk to Konstantin about this either. Caterina has enoug
Konstantin: The Heartless Beta 45. You're Perfect
Konstantin Within the time it took me to snap out of my shock, Lily had left the office. “Fuck!” I cry out, following after her and trying to call her over the link, but getting nothing. She can’t have gotten far, and she can't leave the pack since the Bond Anchor is complete. /“Lily, please,”/ I beg, /“where are you?”/ /“Kon?”/ The voice of my brother came. I forgot that since he’s Alpha, he can hear every conversation over the link. /“Lily and I had an argument, and she’s run out,”/ I explain, catching the remnants of her lavender scent as I run to my motorcycle. /“Need my help?”/ he asks, referring to his Alpha ability to bend someone’s will over the link with a simple command, but I say no. /“I know where she’ll be, don’t worry,”/ I say, then tune out of the link as I make my way to the Estate. I know my mate, and I know all her hiding spots,
