Moscow had a gray sky that morning, and the Rurik mansion was wrapped in a tense silence, as if even the walls were awaiting the outcome of the impending storm.

Security was on full alert. Gates sealed by runes, surveillance doubled, direct orders from Dmitry that no one was to enter or leave.

It was in this scenario that Sasha Volkov arrived.

The black SUV stopped in front of the main entrance, and the freezing air was cut by the heavy creak of the armored door opening.

Sasha got out with his

  • The Lycan’s Fated Mate   Chapter 9 — Loving Someone in Flames

    Carla ignored the first message.And the second.The third one too.By the twelfth, she turned off her phone screen with enough force to nearly crack it, the gesture drawing a worried look from a nurse walking by. But she didn’t block Alexei. Because deep down, she knew that would be cowardice — blocking meant running away, and Carla didn’t want to run. She wanted to see. She wanted to know if he kept trying.And Alexei kept trying. Of course he did.The phone vibrated again inside the pocket of her lab coat as she walked hurriedly down the hospital corridor, her sneakers making a muffled sound against the freshly cleaned floor.Lex🐺: “You alive?”Two minutes later, when she still hadn’t replied:Lex🐺: “Wrong answer. You should have started with ‘hi, love of my life.’”Five minutes:Lex🐺: “Karlochka.”Then:Lex🐺: “I know you’re ignoring me on purpose.”And then:Lex🐺: “This is emotional bullying.”Carla closed her eyes for a second before putting the phone away again, pressing he

  • The Lycan’s Fated Mate   Chapter 8 — The Fear That Destroys Everything

    Susan remained motionless on the sofa, her fingers stopping their caress of Demyan’s hair. Even the child seemed to sense the change in the atmosphere, his little blue eyes shifting from one adult to the other.Dmitry showed no immediate reaction. Which was worse. Much worse. If he had exploded, if he had shouted, Alexei would have known how to react. But his brother’s absolute stillness, the way every muscle seemed to freeze, was infinitely more terrifying.“Who?” His voice came out low, a deadly whisper. “Who said that?”“One of the prisoners. He recognized me, said I was just like my mother.”Dmitry remained completely still for a moment. His face betrayed no emotion, but Alexei knew his brother far too well not to notice what was happening behind that mask.Calculation. Analysis. And a cold fury, far more dangerous than his own.“And you didn’t think it was important to tell me this immediately?”“Because I knew exactly what you would do!”“And what would that be?!” Dmitry’s voice

  • The Lycan’s Fated Mate   Chapter 7 — The Name That Should Never Have Existed

    Alexei woke up before the alarm.The room was still submerged in the bluish twilight of morning when he slowly opened his eyes, feeling the warm weight of Carla sleeping against his chest. Her breathing was soft, rhythmic, completely oblivious to the whirlwind already beginning to form in his head.For a few seconds, he just stayed there. Quiet. Motionless.Her scent still permeated the sheets, a mixture of soap and something exclusively Carla that the Lycan recognized anywhere. Her small body curled against his made the inner beast purr contentedly like a damn house cat.“Our female.”“You’re ridiculous.”But he didn’t push the thought away. Because, since the day before, it was the first time Alexei could breathe without feeling like his head was about to explode. She had that effect on him — she calmed storms that even he didn’t fully understand.Carla slept deeply, her dark hair spread across the pillow, her mouth slightly swollen from the kisses of the night before. Fucking beaut

  • The Lycan’s Fated Mate   Chapter 6 — The Only Peace Amid the Chaos

    Alexei didn’t know exactly at which moment he had lost control.Maybe it was when Carla opened the door wearing his damn shirt. When her brown eyes challenged him in silence, still hurt, still angry, but hot in a way that drove him absolutely insane.Or maybe it had been long before that — the second the Demidov had mentioned his mother in that underground cell and the entire world had collapsed under his feet.It didn’t matter anymore.Because now Carla was between his body and the bedroom wall, her bare legs wrapped around his waist, the dark shirt bunched up between his fingers, and Alexei could smell her invading every inch of his self-control.That natural scent. Clean. Warm. Feminine.No artificial perfume in the world came close to it.The Lycan inside him growled softly, satisfied, like an animal that had finally found its place after hours lost in the dark.“Finally. Stop thinking about those worms. She’s here.”Alexei almost rolled his eyes mentally.“You never get tired of

  • The Lycan’s Fated Mate   Chapter 5 — Between Kisses and Lies

    Carla practically ripped the beret off her head when she entered the room. The door slammed behind her with enough force to echo through the entire suite, but at that moment she honestly didn’t care.Because she was angry. Very angry.The camel coat was the first to fall onto the sofa. Then the earrings. Then the boots.That damn date had gone straight to hell.“Great. Perfect. Wonderful,” she grumbled to herself as she opened the side zipper of her skirt with brusque movements.She had spent nearly an hour getting ready. A whole hour, on the only day off she had before going back to the hell of hospital shifts.And Alexei had managed to destroy everything by bringing the clan’s problems along with him.Again.Carla closed her eyes for a moment, breathing deeply. It wasn’t fair to think that way, she knew that. Alexei couldn’t simply stop being who he was.He was a Rurik. The Alpha’s brother. Part of that political, territorial, and violent madness since birth. War was part of him.Th

  • The Lycan’s Fated Mate   Chapter 4 — The Surname Buried in the Blood

    Alexei couldn’t pay attention to a fucking thing in the movie.Not to the characters, the story, the exaggerated explosions, or even the bad jokes that would normally make Carla laugh softly beside him.Nothing.Because the only thing he could hear was that phrase echoing inside his own head like a parasite.“Alexei Demidov.”His fingers tightened involuntarily on the armrest.Demidov.The surname felt wrong. Dirty. Like something that should never be associated with him.But worse than that… was the way the man had looked at him in that cell.Recognition. Not surprise. Not provocation. Recognition. As if he were looking at someone who belonged there.“You look just like your mother.”That was eating him alive.Because his mother had always been a forbidden territory inside the Rurik mansion.No one talked about her. Not Anatolie. Not Dmitry. Not the elders. There were photos, portraits, but never stories.As if saying her name out loud could open some wound too old to heal.Alexei re

    The dense forest of Russia was filled with heavy silence, broken only by the rustling of dry branches beneath Natalia’s feet. The wind cut like blades, bringing with it the scent of death itself — though she tried to ignore it. With every step, she believed she was far enough away, beyond Dmitry’s r

    The Rurik mansion in Moscow, illuminated by torches and discreet lights intertwined with winter flowers, seemed to breathe. The ancient walls, guardians of the Rurik lineage, would witness not only the union of an Alpha with his Predestined, but the coronation of a new time.The central courtyard,

    The Rurik mansion, even with all its technological advances, was a stronghold where the ancient and the modern danced side by side. And among enchanted toys that organized themselves and voice-activated holograms, there was a child who was about to disrupt all natural laws: Demyan.And on that late

    The bedroom door opened as if pushed by a silent force. And there, in the center of the soft silver twilight, Susan sat on the edge of the ancient bed, wrapped in a cloak that seemed woven from moonlight and shadow, with the baby in her arms.Her red hair fell over her shoulders, her green eyes — a
