Konstantin Every now and then, I feel a sharp pain in my chest; it started when Lily left and has continued to grow exponentially. I know that it’s because my wolf is yearning for its mate, but something feels wrong - terribly wrong. Lily is my mate; I know this now. But why did she lie about leaving? Did she not feel the pull as I did? Did she not feel the same way about me because she’s not a pure werewolf? These constant questions keep me awake at night, and I know that I will need to pay a visit to Vegas soon. Fenriz mentioned that he sent Lily here to keep her from her supposed ‘destiny’, but he never fucking elaborated on what this could mean. He kept his distance and took off to Vegas before I could ask him. Things have been escalating over the last few months since she left. Kai found and claimed his mate, I died and was brought back to life by a Goddess, we lost two of our younger brothers and so many other tragedies. Some pe

LilyHis face is all I see, even as Stefan fucks me hard, even as I am trussed up in a sex swing and chains… the pain in his eyes will always haunt me. I didn’t know he was here, and I didn’t fucking expect him to walk him while Stefan had me over his desk.Konstantin is my mate, it’s always been him, but I found out too late. Stefan loves rubbing it in my face because he knows I can’t do anything about it. I can’t call out to him, and I can’t alert him to my whereabouts as I live out my days as Stefan’s glorified and willing sex slave.Of course, he punished me for hugging Konstantin when I saw him, but I had to ask for his help somehow. Even if he looked disgusted at what was happening to me, even if the disappointment and hurt in his eyes would haunt me forever.“Open your mouth,” Stefan orders as he pulls out of me and empties his disgusting seed into my mouth. I’ve co

Konstantin Well, there goes that fucking idea. “You killed the sister of a Horsemen Alpha? What the fuck is wrong with you?” I ask incredulously, but Fenriz only shrugs. “Step-sister, but whatever.” “That’s not the point, Fenriz. There’s no fucking way they’ll help me if they know I’m trying to save the sister of the man who murdered one of their own,” I say, sitting down on the leather couch with my head in my hands. Fenriz chuckles and sits opposite me. “Then don’t mention me unless you absolutely have to.” He says as if telling me the weather. Fuck, are all Alphas so self-involved?! “Why didn’t you just tell me outright that Lily was my mate? Don’t you think it would have prevented all of this shit?” I say. He growls. “Well, excuse the fuck out of me. How was I supposed to know that even her own fucking mate couldn’t tell the difference between a mate bond Sighting and butterflies? Surely you must have felt

Konstantin “So, what made you decide to come back in here?” I finally ask Kai when we walk the path to the mansion. I know how the guilt ate at him after what happened, so seeing him here is a shock in itself. He shrugs and exhales. “It was time, wouldn’t you say?” He says, looking up at the place we used to call home. “Caterina is about to have my child; we need a base of support from the entire pack instead of living right in the middle of New York away from everyone.” I understand this; as amazing as our penthouses are, it's not exactly a perfect place to raise children. At least here, they’ll be able to shift and run around as they please. “But how the fuck did you flip that switch so easily? You hated the place,” I say. Kai shakes his head and chuckles. “I never hated our home, Kon, just what I did in it. Speaking to mother after Xamnir killed me helped a lot more than I thought.” I nod; he did mention seeing my dead brother and mother after the werewolf god killed him a few

Konstantin“Lilith’s wolf spoke with you? How is that possible?” Fenriz asks after I tell them what happened.I shrug. “I don’t know how it’s possible. Maybe it has something to do with our Mate Bond? She hasn’t rejected it or been forced to reject it.” I say while leaning against the door in Kai’s study.It's only Kai, Fenriz and Zephyr present. Dimitri is holding down the fort in Billionaire’s Row, and Caterina’s feeling too tired to be here with us. It is understandable since she’s carrying the child of an Alpha God and nearing her due date.“But she disappeared in a cloud of green smoke just as she was about to tell me what Stefan is,” I say, and I can still hear my wolf’s sad whine.I see a frown forming on Zephyr’s face when I say this. “Got something to add, Z?” I ask.He looks up at me. “He stinks of sulp
