Nick Stokes Csi: Vegas

***BRATVA WOLVES: BOOK 2*** As a scentless half-human/half-werewolf, Lily Vega always expected abuse, violence and bloodshed - the norm for her step-brother's pack of Lycans. Given to the BloodCrest Pack as a gift to cement the bond between New York and Las Vegas, she didn't expect to become second in command to the Heartless Beta, Konstantin Volkov. And she didn't expect to fall in love with him either. Konstantin never cared for love or finding his mate as the Beta to the Alpha God. Who needs a mate when you have a pack to protect? However, everything seemed to fall into place when Lily stepped into his life. She was his second in command and the best damn fighter he'd ever met - until she decided to leave his side when she apparently finds her mate. After a misunderstanding, which culminates in a steamy encounter with Konstantin, Lily leaves his side, never to return. What will Konstantin do once he finds out Lily is truly his mate and pregnant with his prophesied firstborn... and that she's being held prisoner by a creature even older than the Werewolf God Xamnir?

When the flood hit, my husband, Patrick Holmes, who was part of the rescue team, stood between me and his first love, Victoria Clarke, torn with hesitation written all over his face. Without thinking twice, I shoved the only lifebuoy into Victoria's arms. In my previous life, Patrick had handed the lifebuoy to me instead and stayed behind with Victoria, choosing to die alongside her. Just before they both drowned, rescuers arrived in the nick of time and pulled him out, but Victoria didn't make it—she drowned that day. After that, he devoted himself completely to me, taking care of me in every moment of our daily lives. I had thought that the disaster made him cherish me more, but I was wrong—so terribly wrong. While I was hospitalized, Patrick unplugged my oxygen tank himself. He hissed, "If you hadn't insisted on going home to rest that day, I wouldn't have been torn on who to save, and she wouldn't have died. Now, you'll atone to her in the afterlife." I struggled helplessly as my vision blurred and death crept in. Then, everything went dark. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the very day the flood began.

„Nur eine Regel“, erklärte er. „Freunde mit gewissen Vorzügen. Keine Gefühle, keine Romanze, keine Versprechen. Ich werde nur wegen des Sex so tun, als wäre ich dein Freund.“ Ich dachte darüber nach und lehnte dann ab. „Ich sage dir Bescheid, falls ich meine Meinung ändere.“ Tief in meinem Inneren war ich auch noch nicht bereit für etwas Ernstes.

Sie hatte sich geschworen, sich nicht zu verlieben … aber was passiert, wenn der einzige Mann, von dem sie sich nicht lösen kann, genau der ist, vor dem sie fliehen sollte?

No meu aniversário, um dos subordinados do meu marido se inclinou para perto dele e sussurrou em russo: — Sasha preparou uma surpresa para você esta noite. Meu marido sorriu para mim enquanto terminava de cortar meu bolo. Então, no mesmo idioma, respondeu: — Ela tem vários truques na cama. Vou vê-la mais tarde. — Só não deixe a Madame descobrir, ou receio que eu seja expulso. Todos ao redor riram e garantiram que manteriam segredo. Nenhum deles sabia que eu era fluente em vários idiomas desde criança. O que eles também não sabiam era que eu havia encontrado o celular escondido que ele mantinha na gaveta falsa, onde estavam salvos todos os vídeos imundos dele com Sasha. Eu não o confrontei. Em vez disso, contatei algumas conexões que ainda tinha em Vegas e pedi que preparassem uma nova identidade para mim. Em três dias, Claire Vega não existiria mais, e ele nunca mais me teria novamente.
