Caterina
This is a wolf of The Blood Crest pack.
The tyrannical and merciless Russian wolf pack who ruled the other half of New York. They were also mafia, Russian Bratva and Sergio’s mortal enemies. I see my father walk towards the man and speak to him.
This terrified me; he had already promised me to the Lycans of Vegas. Would he offer me to this man as well? I know my father only wanted power, and the Bratva would be the perfect place to have a foot in the door. The man looked at my father, and his eyes flashed the deepest crimson I had ever seen.
“Move,” he growls and steps past my father, whose eyes fell on me, but they held no intimidation against the man who had brushed him off.
I step backwards, fear gripping my heart at the sight of this man stalking the room. His eyes were deep red, which signified he was an Alpha, and I have heard a lot about the Alpha of the Blood Crest Pack.
Beast, he was every inch of the word and oozed dominance.
This man had killed every member of his family, tore out their hearts, ate them and ascended to Alpha; This was not a man who I wanted to be noticed by. I needed to get out of here.
“Kai Volkov, what are you doing in my territory?” Sergio bellows and walks up to the man, his eyes flashing the red that signified Alpha as well, but it definitely held no power or intimidation over the man he called Kai. He chuckles and continues to search the room.
“I’ve come to claim what is rightfully mine, and her scent led me here.” He says, then meets Sergio’s gaze. Kai’s voice wasn’t loud, but it demanded submission. It was deep and powerful, leaving an ache in my core that surprised me. The unmistakable Russian accent was like music to my ears; I had to hear more.
“Leave before I kill you myself, Wilkołak.” Sergio roars, but Kai only shakes his head.
The other Alpha clicks his tongue. “You know I'm Russian, not Polish, right? In any case, I’ve only come for what’s mine, Andretti.” He says, and I notice the unmistakable scent of intimidation from both the Alphas.
“There is nothing here that belongs to you. Now leave before I make you.” Sergio roars again, and his men surround Kai, who sighs and crosses his arms in front of his chest, his huge muscles bulging.
I don’t know why, but I found him incredibly attractive, so much so that I ached for him. His head whips up, but before he can do anything, one of Sergio’s Beta’s lunges at him. Kai grabs him by the throat and rips it open with his now extended claws.
This should terrify me, disgust me even, but I saw this as incredibly sexy. He licks the blood from his fingers and grins.
“Self defence, you should teach your Beta pups more restraint, Andretti,” Kai says, then suddenly frowns.
He sniffs the air, then his blue eyes meet mine and shimmered that deep crimson again.
As soon as our eyes meet, I feel something similar to a string pulling taut. My core throbs with a need I have never felt before as his eyes bore into mine. My heart pounds like a drumline in my chest, so loud that I am sure he could hear it.
He bares his fangs in a delicious, devious grin and walks towards me, his stare knocking the wind out of me. It takes everything in me to not go to him and throw myself at his feet in submission.
What was this? Why did I feel attracted to him, even when he had just ripped a young Beta’s throat out?
He then lifts his hand and points to me. “I’ve come to claim my mate.”
His words brought me back to reality at a screeching halt. HIS WHAT?!
Is this what the mate bond felt like? This unmistakable pull, this desire throbbing deep inside and willing you to submit to the one the Mood Goddess chose for you? Could this be why his scent seemed so familiar to me, because I am fated to be his?
“Mate…” my wolf calls to him, ears pulled back and ready to submit.
His gaze does not leave mine as he stalks towards me, but Sergio steps in his path, forcing him to break eye contact and leaving me feeling bereft.
“Mate?! Are you insane, Volkov? Leave this instant, or that will be you laying with your throat ripped out.” He threatens, but Kai’s eye flickers to mine again then he smiles.
“You will deny me what the Moon Goddess has gifted me?” He chuckles, then his scent of intimidation flooded the room again, thick and heady and causing me to nearly stumble.
I feel his eyes on me again. “If you do not believe me, ask the female what happened when our eyes met.” He says, and now I know the entire room had their eyes trained on me.
I look up, finding his gaze again and somehow feeling empowered by it. Sergio raised his eyebrow and waited.
“A throbbing right in my centre, then something similar to the feeling of a string pulling tight,” I whisper, but knew they all heard me.
Gasps from the room; I see my mother’s bulging eyes and my father’s lips a thin line. I scan the faces - all shocked and disgusted at what had just happened, but when my eyes fall on Carlotta, I caught the unmistakable hint of jealousy once again dancing in her eyes.
Sergio’s mouth was hanging open in shock, but my eyes didn’t linger on them long enough to care.
Kai was now standing in front of me, and I could smell his scent even more - a rough woodsy smell that played with my senses. He tilts my chin up and pins me with a deadly stare - then his eyes flash red with anger and he looks behind him.
“Everyone who has ever caused my mate to feel this broken and hurt will now be deemed my enemy. I don’t give a shit if you’re her mother or sister; you have hurt her and in turn, have hurt me.” He growls, then looks down at me.
“You’ll be safe with me, little wolf.”
“Caterina. My name is Caterina,” I say in a hushed tone and see his eyes close in ecstasy - did my voice have the same effect on him as his voice had on me?
“Caterina…” he purrs, stroking my cheek. Then holds out his hand for me to take, which I do. His hands felt hard, calloused; the hands of an Alpha not afraid to get his hands dirty.
Bringing the back of my hand to his lips, he kisses it, then lifts me up and throws me over his shoulder. I squeal as he does this, but he only slaps my behind and turns to leave the room and my old life behind.
Onto a new life with a dangerous Alpha who claimed me as his, an Alpha who ate the hearts of his parents and brothers.
An Alpha who would kill anyone who stood in his way.
Caterina I wanted a new start, and now it seems like I would get it. We exit my father’s mansion and come to a stop in front of a black and green motorcycle. There was a leather jacket lying on top of the seat. “Ever been on a bike, Caterina?” He asks as he gently puts me down next to him. I look up into his eyes, not sure how I’ll get used to the intensity behind his stare, and shake my head. “N-no, not at all,” I say and see the grin spread on his face again. This man terrified and intrigued me simultaneously, and it was making my head spin. “You’re in for a treat, then,” he says, about to place a helmet on my head, but then I remembered something. “Wait, I need to get my things, my clothing and belongings,” I tell him, about to turn around and walk back inside my home, when he pulls me back by my wrist. “I have just marked your entire family as my enemy. Do you really think they will allow you to waltz back in there
Kai I lay her down on the bed we would share from now on, our bed, and gaze down at her. My mate was stunning and had the essence of an Alpha deep inside her; she just didn’t know her worth yet. “We will show her…” my beast rumbles, calming down for the first time since I set my eyes on her. Yes, we will show her - we will make her a Queen. As soon as I lay my eyes on her back in that hall, I knew she was mine. Her scent reminded me of home, fresh Spring rain as it hit the forest surrounding our villa in Russia. The familiarity is what pulled me towards her, but it wasn’t until we made eye contact that I could confirm it. Even as Andretti droned on, all I wanted was her, and I had to kill a Beta pup to do it. The innocence she displayed didn’t match her smart mouth, and I couldn’t wait to see what else she had to show me. When I walk back downstairs, I hear my elevator open and listen to my pack as they stroll i
Caterina “I will ruin you, Caterina,” His words promised violence and so much more. This man was irresistible, his beast so much more so. I wanted him, wanted this Alpha to claim me, but I could see him fighting the desire to do precisely that. So I bring my hands up and cup his face, his crimson eyes closing as I do so while he leans into my palm. When they open again, the clear blue is back, and he smiles down at me. “Thank you, as much as I would love nothing more than to be buried deep inside you; I know you are nowhere near ready for me.” He says, then steps away from me and takes my hand in his, “Let me give you a tour of my home; our home,” I smile at his words, my lust replaced with excitement as he takes me around the massive penthouse. The place was beautiful, every piece of furniture and art painstakingly chosen to complement one another. This penthouse didn’t have the flashy wealth on display like at my parent’s mansion, even though I know that Kai is five times as we
Caterina I lay curled up on the bed, Kai’s warmth and touch slowly leaving my body. I never thought that meeting your mate would make you feel this intense animalistic hunger; like you just couldn’t get enough of the other. Is it because he’s an Alpha? Would it be different with any other wolf? The pull in my chest says different. Lifting up from the bed, I walk over to the walk-in closet that houses Kai’s clothing. His scent was the strongest here; musky and powerful. I close my eyes and drink him in, feeling my inner wolf yearn for him once more. It wanted to submit to Kai, I felt its need deep inside my core and I am afraid that I will not be able to hold it back for much longer. It’s only been day one - we still had a week to go. Taking a deep breath -regretting it afterwards- then I step out of the walk-in. I had nothing here, no cell phone, no clothing, so I decided to go downstairs. The clock on the wall shows 7 pm now;
Kai As soon as I left the penthouse, my wolf’s ears went flat, and he released a disapproving growl. “We’ll be back later; there’s work to do,” I tried to appease him, but I could tell he was anxious to get back to her. Her actions while she was on top of me nearly snapped my self-restraint. Her grinding, her hands all over me, her scent and naked pussy against my throbbing cock - it made me want to claim her right then and there. What little self-control I had pulled my beast back in and let her go. We were so close, so damn close… But now, I have to focus on work and step into my role as Pakhan. I got into my Bugatti Veyron and hauled ass out of the penthouse parking lot before I changed my mind. I owned a few clubs on Billionaire’s Row; by a few, I mean all of them. Men with money have different tastes; most of them border on illegal, but I do not care to cater to those types of needs. Money, dominance and women ruled these men, an
Caterina I open my eyes to sunlight streaming into my room, and for a second, I am momentarily dazed as to what I was looking at; a heavily tattooed chest. Then the memory of what happened yesterday comes flooding back in waves. I curl deeper into Kai’s arms, not wanting this to go away or, even worse, waking up in my bed back home to find out this has all been a dream. His arms pull me into a deeper embrace, and I feel something hard digging into my thigh. A blush blooms on my cheeks when I realise what it could be, so I just sink deeper into his arms. “Hmm, Caterina,” he thrums in a deep voice laced thick with sleep. When I look up, his eyes are still closed, but he has a smile teasing his lips. “Good morning,” I say in a small voice but hear the rumble in his chest at the sound of it. “Good, indeed,” he says, opening his eyes. “Did you sleep well?” As soon as he opened his eyes, that possessive string pulls taught, but I swallowed
Caterina Thank God Kai doesn’t walk to that monster bike; instead, he comes to a stop in front of a beautiful sleek black sports car. He walks over to my side and opens the door for me, then smacks my behind before I can even sit down. I let out a yelp as I sit down, and when I look at him, he winks and closes the door. Naughty bastard. After that, we were off. The drive to the estate took about two hours. I’ve never driven in comfortable silence with anyone, but with Kai, it came naturally. “So who all lives on this estate?” I ask, turning my head towards the driver’s seat. “The elders, young pups, Betas who aren’t as tough and bloodthirsty as the ones which run at my flank. It’s a community of about 500+ people, but I see them all as my family, the ones I am sworn to protect.” He says as he watches the road. 500+ people?! That is like a small town! I have never known packs to be this huge; they might just be the largest wolf
Kai I knew she was always meant to be mine, but it didn’t click until I saw her shift. This fucking woman was perfection personified, the Goddess made her to be mine in every way! Her coat was the same colour of obsidian as mine was, although my size outweighs hers, I watched her as she hunted the buck in front of us, her frame was lithe and graceful, every inch of the dancer that she was. I allowed her to lead the hunt, watching her moves from a distance and growling softly in approval. When she caught it and took it down, cracking its neck with the twist of her head, pride swelled in my chest. She looked up at me, nudging the dead animal with her nose in a signal that she wanted me to eat first. I’m the Alpha, so this was normal for me, but I shook my head and gestured for her to eat first. The surprise and confusion in her eyes worried me a bit, but I nudged the buck with my nose again and she understood what I meant. Cater
