Konstantin: The Heartless Beta novel Chapter 56

Konstantin

When I know Lily’s in a deep sleep, I slink out of bed, get dressed and meet Kai downstairs. He got a call from Dimitri a few minutes ago saying he remembered something and couldn’t tell us over the phone.

I walk out, see Kai waiting next to his Maserati, and we hop inside. “Any idea what he could have seen?” I ask, and Kai shakes his head.

“Not at all, but he sounded freaked out over the phone, so it can’t be good,” He says as we leave the estate.

“Always something,” I mutter and breathe out a sigh.

Lily and I just had the best make-up sex, and now I have to leave her side. Things between us aren’t 100% cleared up yet, but the fact that we spoke about things is the first step. Marle’s interference in her mind and recovery helped a lot, too; I could see the self-confidence in her eyes again. That sexy confidence always got my cock hard whenever we used to spar.

“Good evening?” Kai says with a smirk, and I can’t help but smirk back.

“Great fucking evening,” I say and shake my head. “Pity we have to be out here, but I’m sure ‘Mitri wouldn’t have called us for nothing.”

Kai nods. “I fucking hope so.”

We reach the underground parking and make our way inside the elevator to Dimitri’s penthouse. I can’t help but get a shiver up my spine when we go up, and when I look over at Kai, I see his eyes have turned crimson.

The doors weren't even opened properly, and Kai sprinted out, shouting Dimitri’s name. “Fuck!” I exclaim when I recognise the scent of blood is everywhere here and leads us to Dimitri’s study.

“KON!” Kai roars in the direction I was going in, and when I open the door, I nearly barrel into Kai’s back, but I see why the scent of blood is everywhere: Dimitri has killed someone again.

“What the f….” I trail off, and my eyes widen when I see a shirtless Dimitri cradling the head of a petite blonde girl… a human, by the scent of her blood. She had slashes all over her face and chest, and he was trying to stop the bleeding with his shirt. “Dimitri?!”

“I don’t know what happened!” He exclaims and looks up at Kai and me with wild eyes. “When I got off the phone with Kai, she rushed in here with this in her hand.” He says, picking up a silver dagger and dropping it when it stings him.

A very fucking familiar looking dagger.

Kai walks over to Dimitri on the floor, and I follow him, but then he leans down and touches Dimitri’s arm. “She’s still alive, and I’ve called Marle, who should be here soon-”

“You need to do something!” He exclaims, grabbing Kai’s arm and looking up at him with desperation and fear in his scent.

Kai nods. “We’ll try our best, ‘Mitri, but she’s human, and her pulse is fading, so we’ll do our best but can’t promise-”

“She’s my mate, Kai!” He exclaims with tears in his eyes, stunning both me and Kai. “She’s my mate, but I attacked her as soon as I caught her scent!”

“What?” I ask with a frown, knowing that this girl is toast if Marle doesn’t get here soon. “Your mate?”

Dimitri nods with tears streaming down his face. “My wolf recognised her as my mate!”

A human and a wolf? I’ve never heard of that EVER happening in our world. I mean, old Dmitry Volkov tried to ignore the mate bond by staying with his human wife, but that’s about it.

“Wait,” I say, remembering what Nova told me a few weeks ago, and I start searching her pockets until I find her wallet.

Kai growls. “Kon, what the fuck-”
