He ruled the Northern Territories with an iron fist, commanded the loyalty of powerful Alphas, and carried the blood of one of the oldest Lycan families in existence. But behind the Romanov name was a secret no outsider was ever meant to learn. Every woman marked by a Romanov Alpha died. Nikolai had watched the curse take his mother. He had spent his entire life determined never to repeat his father’s mistake. He would never claim a mate. He would never place his mark on a woman. The only thing he needed to secure his bloodline was a child. So when the council arranged a marriage between him and a wolfless Omega from a disgraced pack, the solution seemed perfect. One year as his wife. One heir. Enough money to disappear forever. No love. No bond. No mark. Until she stepped into his territory… and Nikolai’s wolf whispered the one word he had spent his entire life dreading. Mate. She felt it too. For one fragile moment, she believed fate had finally given the unwanted Omega something that belonged to her. Then Nikolai rejected her in front of everyone. Humiliated and furious, she expected to be sent away. Instead, she learned that Alpha Romanov still intended to marry her. “You rejected me.” She said coldly. “Yes,” “Then why am I still your wife?” “Because rejecting you changed what you are to my wolf. It did not change what you are to my empire…”

Panic flashed across her face when our eyes met, and I lifted a finger to my lips. The gesture was casual enough to escape notice, but the maid understood.When I pushed the door open and stepped inside, she was waiting for me. Her anger hit before the door even closed.“You bastard,” she spat.I shut the door calmly. “That took longer than expected,” I said.“You stood there,” she accused.“Yes,” I answered, leaning against the frame. “I stood there the entire time and watched you lie to her.”“You made me lie,” she said. “She was my friend, and you chose to make me lie to and betray her!”“I didn’t make you do anything,” I replied. “You chose to do that, I simply gave the instruction, but you chose to listen to what I said and you are the one who followed along with it.”“You told me not to speak.” She snappe
Elena:By the time I reached the servants’ wing, my panic had changed shape.It was no longer the raw, contagious fear that had swept the estate when Valeria started bleeding. This was colder, it was the kind that arrives when you realize you left something dangerous unfinished and you have no idea whether the person you trusted with it still understands the rules.I found the maid in the linen room, folding towels beside another girl. The moment she saw me, her hands slowed. I had no patience for pretending this was a casual visit. “You.” I said, looking her in the eye. “Come with me.”The other maid glanced between us. “She needs to finish...”“She can finish later.” The girl I wanted set down the towel and murmured, “Yes, my lady.”We walked in silence to the quiet end of the servants’ corridor. I led her into a small storage room and closed the door behind us. Her expression tightened at once. “What happened? Is everything alright, my lady?”“The packet. Do you still have it?” Her
Elena:When Nikolai summoned me to his office, I spent the walk there trying to decide whether I was about to be forgiven, punished, or reminded that the only reason I was still inside Romanov territory was because Valeria had almost lost her child.None of those options settled well, and I knew that now more than ever one mistake could be fatal for me.I knocked once on Nikolai’s door, taking a deep breath as I did, preparing myself for the worst. Hell, I punched the man in the face, I was lucky to be alive after doing so, but now standing outside his door… I didn’t know how I should be feeling about it.“Come in,” he said.His voice was calm and that made me more uneasy than any raised tone could have.I opened the door. He stood behind his desk, papers spread out in front of him. The bruise along his jaw looked darker today, a reminder of what I had done. My gaze went to it before I could stop myself. He noticed, but neither of us said a word.“You wanted to see me,” I said.“Yes.”
Nikolai:Valeria finally got out of bed the following afternoon.It was not because the doctor cleared her or because Yelena insisted. Valeria had simply had enough of staring at the same four walls. She announced that she was walking to the chair by the window, and if anyone tried to stop her, she would become far more difficult to deal with.The doctor looked at me. I looked at Yelena. Yelena sighed while Valeria folded her arms. The argument ended there.Now she was curled against my side on the small sofa by the window, her legs tucked beneath a blanket and a book open in her lap. I kept one arm around her shoulders while paperwork rested on my knee. I had not meant to hover, but I was doing a terrible job of hiding it. Every few minutes, my attention drifted back to her face, her breathing, and every small shift that might mean she was uncomfortable or needed something.“Do you want to tell me what you are staring at?” She asked, not looking up from the book she was reading.“Who
