Kai Did I just hear what I thought I did? I looked at Caterina, swollen lips and desire ebbing away, and I knew that I heard right. My beast just told both of us to dial back on our lust. Buckling my belt again, I walk towards the bed and sit down next to her. She looks at me with an apologetic smile and sighs. “I think we just got reprimanded,” she says with wide eyes, and I burst out laughing. “Yes, it does seem that way, doesn’t it?” I say, then pull her closer to me before wrapping my arms around her. “I’m sorry about that, Caterina. I lost control,” I say, breathing out a sigh, but she shakes her head. “I could have stopped you, but I didn’t. So I need to apologise as well.” She says. I don’t know why I lost control like that; we nearly went all the way with the eclipse in three days’ time. This act would have ruined our ritual and not strengthened our bond at all. Fuck, how could I be so damn stu

Kai No one knew where Vanya went, and she cut off her ties to us soon after Ilya died. It is as if she disappeared into thin air. Fucking witches, I don't particularly like them and the way they tamper with things. Especially the dark witches in Norway; those women could send you to Hell and make you wish for more. A chill goes up my spine as I remember visiting Norway with my parents searching for a way to calm my Lycan beast. All their rituals required human sacrifices, so my mother opted for the ritual she underwent with our own witches. Sometimes I wished she would have gone with the sacrifices; it would mean she would still be alive now to guide me. If the meeting with my pack was difficult, staring into Kaede's furious expression is even worse. "She tricked us all! How?! How did we allow this to happen?!" She exclaims, pacing the room in anger. Her sisters mirrored her sentiment, and so did I; how did Alyosha trick an entire pack with a coven of powerful witches? I sigh, wa

Caterina Kai urges me to run from him, something he wouldn’t do unless I were in danger, so I shift and take off. I don’t understand what’s happening, but something felt terribly wrong. What was happening?! Why did Kai have two irises? Is it his Lycan beast trying to take hold of his body? “Caterina?? What the fuck is going on?” I hear Konstantin through the mind link and nearly topple over as I run. I forgot that I am a part of the Blood Crest pack now! “Konstantin! It’s Kai; he’s… something is wrong!” I say, trying to find my way deeper into the forest and away from the town and the rest of the pack. “What do you mean? Is he okay?” Came the voice of Dimitri this time, intertwined with Nikolai’s voice, asking what happened. “I don’t know, after he claimed me with a bite, something happened and, when he looked at me again, his… his eyes were… it’s like they were split in two.” This was the best way I could describe wha

Caterina Something is wrong; something is definitely wrong! “What the fuck is happening, Caterina? Why did Kai tell us to run?!” Nikolai asks while we all head in the direction of the estate. “He’s trying to protect us from… from Xamnir,” I answer through the link as a barrage of questions hits me simultaneously. They all look at me as if I’ve gone mad. “Xamnir?! Xamnir appeared?” Konstantin asks. “Yes! They were talking about a prophecy and… and killing me,” I say, my running coming to a halt as I realise what I had just said. I’m sure that’s what I heard. Xamnir kept on talking about devouring me as Kai was trying to protect me and rejecting the idea, but I had a feeling that Kai knew this would happen. He knew about my death and that he would be the one to kill me. I stop, then shift back and sit on my haunches while holding my knees. If Kai dies while fighting Xamnir, what would be the point of me g

Caterina I don’t understand what’s happening at all. Kai is back, but he seems different; that bloodthirstiness always on his scent is gone. In its place is something more primal, more alert and a lot more powerful. But all that amplified as soon as he put that heart to his lips. Kai lets out a painful roar after devouring the heart, and he falls to the ground, gripping his chest. I reach out to touch him, but someone pulls me back by my waist, and when I turn around to see who it is, my heart stops. “Konstantin?!” I exclaim with wide eyes, even more so when my eyes fall on the other brothers. “What… Oh my god!” Crying out, I throw my arms around them and sob, knowing that I will not need to mourn for their deaths. “I saw Xamnir tearing out your hearts! How is this possible?” “I think she had something to do with it,” Dimitri says and gestures behind me to the woman kneeling at Kai’s side, a very familiar-looki
