A week had dragged by since Dmitry had brought Susan to the Rurik mansion.

Seven days of silent hell, where time stretched like molten steel and every beat of his heart was torture.

His exhausting routine kept him away from her, and like a condemned man trying not to break his own chains, he avoided her.

He tried.

He failed.

While he strengthened pacts, invisible walls were being built around Susan. Not to keep her away, but to protect her. And still, every time he breathed, it was as if the en

  • The Lycan’s Fated Mate   Chapter 30 – The Man I Want to Understand

    Konstantin Velesov did not appreciate silence. He appreciated control.People often confused one with the other. Silence was a consequence, control was a choice. And in that room, every element was exactly where it should be: the books aligned on the shelves, the maps perfectly folded, the golden firelight falling on the dark wooden desk at the precise angle.Seated at the desk, he observed a single sheet of paper. It was not an extensive report. It was merely a note, a few lines written in Viktor’s precise handwriting.“A box was delivered to the Rurik Mansion.”Nothing more.No sender, no image, no witness, no digital signature. That bothered him, not because of the box itself, but because of the absence of answers. For the first time in a long while, something had happened without him knowing who was behind it.On the other side of the room, Viktor remained standing.Head of Velesov intelligence for nearly fifteen years, he was competent, discreet, and intelligent enough to recogni

  • The Lycan’s Fated Mate   Chapter 29 – My Mother Knew I Would Return

    Alexei had already lost count of how many calls he had made that morning. The old notebook remained open on his desk, the yellowed pages displaying dozens of names, handwritten phone numbers, and small notes written in an elegant handwriting — certainly belonging to the administration of the old Demidov mansion.Alexei picked up the cell phone again and dialed another number.The ringtone sounded three times before the automatic message: “The number called is unavailable.” He hung up.He took a deep breath. He called another. Voicemail. Another. Non-existent number. Another. Nothing. Another. Deactivated.He ran his hand through his hair, his fingers pulling the blond strands with growing frustration.“Let’s go…” he murmured, flipping another page.Another number. It rang once, twice, three, four. When he was about to hang up, there was a click. Then silence. And a low breath, almost imperceptible.Alexei straightened his posture in the chair, senses on alert.“Hello?”On the other si

  • The Lycan’s Fated Mate   Chapter 28 — A Reason to Smile

    The snow continued to fall over the gardens of the Rurik mansion when Susan knocked lightly on the office door. No answer.She waited a few seconds, her hand still resting on the dark wood, before turning the knob and poking only her head inside.Dmitry was exactly where she had imagined. Behind the huge wooden desk, the computer on, maps spread out, reports stacked in piles that defied gravity.His phone vibrated from time to time, but he simply ended the calls with a dry tap and continued reading documents as if the entire world depended on it. Maybe it did.She entered without making a sound and closed the door behind her. Only then did Dmitry look up, and his serious expression softened almost immediately.“I thought you were resting.”“You should be too,” Susan replied, approaching slowly.He let out a small sigh, his shoulders tense beneath the dark shirt.“I have work. The intelligence reports on the Velesovs arrived this morning.”She stopped behind his chair and wrapped her ar

    Teams rotated at the cameras, others organized patrol schedules, while a silent tension seeped into every room and every corridor.But for Alexei, all that movement was just noise.He remained in the monitoring room, his eyes fixed on the screens. Dozens of cameras displayed different angles of the property — the main gate, the gardens, the corridors, the entrance to the underground level — while another screen remained frozen exactly on the segment where the footage had been tampered with. The moment the box appeared. Or rather, the moment someone made it disappear.Alexei ran his fingers through his hair and zoomed in on the segment again. Nothing. No shadow, no reflection, no blur. Whoever did this knew security systems. Very well.The door opened behind him.“I knew you’d still be here.”Alexei recognized the voice before he even turned. Susan entered carrying two steaming mugs, wearing a beige cardigan over a simple wool dress. Her red hair was tied in a thick braid over her shou

  • The Lycan’s Fated Mate   Chapter 26 — Someone Got Inside My House

    The phone was still in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the open box on the desk.“I don’t like this.”“Neither do I,” he murmured, sitting down again.The photographs were carefully arranged in small piles across the desk. He didn’t want to fold them, much less damage them.They were the first real memories he had of his mother, concrete proof that Ulyana had existed, had smiled, had lived.He spent several minutes studying each one. Ulyana smiling during training, sword in attack position. Ulyana mounted on a black horse, her light hair loose in the wind. Ulyana laughing while a huge gray wolf rested its head on her lap, the animal’s eyes closed in absolute trust.“You really were different…” Alexei murmured, a small smile on his lips.He turned another photograph.In this one, Ulyana looked even younger, perhaps eighteen or nineteen, her cheeks still full with youth. Beside her was another girl. Brunette, with her hair tied in a long braid, clear eyes and a wide smile that cont

  • The Lycan’s Fated Mate   Chapter 25 — I Can’t Trust Anyone

    The door to Alexei’s private office closed behind him with a soft click. Inside, the silence was absolute.He placed the box on the dark wooden desk and took a deep breath before opening the lid again. Now without interruptions, without anyone watching, without haste.Photograph by photograph. Document by document. Each page seemed to tear away another piece of the image he had built of his own mother throughout his entire life — a vague, incomplete image, based on silences and half-truths.She looked happy. Vibrant. Full of life. Very different from the woman who existed only in the few fragmented memories from his childhood.Until he found a small black notebook hidden beneath the larger documents. It wasn’t a diary; it looked more like a contact book, the kind important people used to keep records of allies and enemies.Each page contained names, phone numbers, and small handwritten notes. Councilors, Alphas, clan leaders, members of the Lycan Council.Alexei slowly turned the page

    Zimorodok Valley – Council Chamber of the Elders of Clan KovalenkoThe room was silent, enveloped by the ancestral cold of the black stones. The crest carved on the wall cast a long shadow, as if time itself was watching.Fidor Kovalenko, wearing the ceremonial overcoat of the clan, remained before

    The darkness of the chalet was soft, broken only by the amber glow of the fireplace.The ancient wood of the walls exhaled the aroma of burnt oak and damp moss. Outside, the forest vibrated with the nocturnal chants of the Lycans in celebration, but there, inside the nuptial chambers, time seemed f

    Dmitry remained motionless for long seconds, as if he feared that if he pulled away, all of it would turn out to be nothing more than a feverish delirium, a mirage.His massive chest heaved against her back, hot and heavy, and his snout brushed gently against her nape, inhaling with devotion that s

  • The Lycan’s Fated Mate   Chapter 148 — The Predator Alpha

    The full moon tore through the sky like an omniscient eye, pouring its pale light over the dense and silent forest. The cold cut through the leaves and froze the air, but the bodies of the Lycans gathered in the ancestral clearing vibrated on a single frequency: to hunt.Alexei felt the firm pulse
