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“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

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

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

LilyI wake up, and that familiar migraine is back… the one I used to wake up with every morning after Stefan has been in to assault me. My eyes shoot open, and I sit up with my heart thumping wildly as I take in my surroundings.Wait…how did I get back in bed?A frown crosses my brow, and I look at the spot next to me, noticing Konstantin isn’t there. What happened after he found me last night? I remember sobbing in his arms, and then him kissing me, but anything else after that… What?Swinging my legs out of bed, I take a step towards the bathroom, but something feels off. By the full, uncomfortable feeling in my groin, it feels like I’ve had sex; hard, steamy sex. Wait, did Konstantin and I finally do it again last night? But why don’t I remember it?!I run to my floor-length mirror and assess my body, noticing the claw marks still at my hips, and Konstantin’s teeth marks were also st
