Alpha Romanov Chapter 39
Nikolai:I couldn’t remember the last time I’d sat in a restaurant simply to eat.The thought arrived somewhere between Valeria arguing good-naturedly with the waiter over honey or syrup for her pancakes and an elderly couple three tables away pretending they hadn’t been watching us since we walked in.We’d left the estate with a small escort and a plan: there was no closed door, no staged privacy. They were just a few guards were posted where they needed to be, but otherwise we were just two people at a table, and the novelty of that made me look at her more than I meant to.She was still negotiating with the young waiter. “No, I’m asking which one you’d choose,” she said, leaning forward with that earnest, slightly mischievous look she had when she wanted to win an argument without being cruel.The waiter blinked. His eyes flicked to me. I raised my coffee and took a sip, doing nothing to help.“Stop scaring him,” Valeria scolded. “I swear, the man is just going to end up choosing t

Valeria:I woke to Nikolai kissing my temple.For a second, I thought I had imagined it. Then I opened my eyes and found him leaning over me, one hand braced beside my head while the other rested lightly against my waist.“Morning,” he said softly.My brain took several seconds to catch up. He was already dressed, jeans, a dark shirt, boots by the edge of the bed, and his hair was still wet enough that a few strands had fallen forward over his forehead.“You showered,” I said. “And the fact that you are wearing a casual outfit makes you look a lot more intimidating than you should.”His mouth curved. “That is usually what wet hair means. And I am allowed a day off from being the Alpha as I go out with my wife.”I stared at him. “What time is it?”“It is around nine in the morning. I let you sleep in given that you seemed to be peaceful.” He said gently.I groaned and pulled the blanket higher. “Well, since I looked peaceful, couldn’t you have let me sleep a little longer?” I muttered

Nikolai:I knew she was still hurting.Valeria had smiled through dinner, answered when I spoke, even laughed once when I teased that she treated my blanket like a permanent possession, but none of it reached her eyes. Her mother’s words had lodged somewhere deeper than a single conversation; they lingered in the way she moved, in the pauses that came between sentences.Dinner had been brought to the veranda as promised, heaters placed near the table, the servants discreet and efficient, yet she barely touched half of what was on her plate. I would have commented if it was another situation, but tonight I did not. There was no point in forcing a conversation she did not want to have. If she wanted to eat later, I would have something brought. If she did not, one missed meal would not kill her.What mattered was that I did not want to become another voice telling her what to do while she was already trying to hold herself together, especially when I knew that the closest person to her,

Valeria:I had been on the balcony for almost twenty minutes, scrolling through my phone and pretending I was reading more carefully than I actually was.There were a few articles about council movements in the eastern packs, another about trade routes reopening before the worst of winter, and one irritating piece speculating about Nikolai’s marriage as though the writers had been standing inside the council chamber with us. I skimmed past that one quickly.The cold had begun to bite through the sleeves of my dress, but I stayed outside anyway, curled into one of the chairs with my legs tucked beneath me, enjoying the silence while Nikolai showered inside.The balcony doors opened behind me. I looked over automatically and immediately wished I hadn’t.Nikolai stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped low around his waist, another smaller towel in his hand as he rubbed through his wet hair. Water still clung to his skin, trailing over his shoulders and down the hard lines of his

Viktor:Yelena found me before midday.I had barely stepped away from the council wing when I saw her waiting near the end of the corridor, hands folded, and her expression was an unreadable one, letting me know that whatever it was that she had on her mind… I wasn’t going to like it. She moved with the quiet authority of someone who had spent years running this house; the look on her face told me she had come with purpose.“Viktor.” Her voice was low. “There is something that I need to talk to you about.”I slowed. “What’s going on? Did something happen to Nikolai? His wife?”“No, both of them are okay.” She glanced toward the servants, then gestured to a quieter sitting room. “I need to speak with you privately.” We closed the door behind us, and the moment the door clicked shut, she turned to face me. “It’s about Elena.”“What did she do?” I asked angrily.“She hasn’t done anything else,” Yelena said. “Not yet. At least, nothing that could be considered dangerous for others.” Her h

Valeria:I woke to warmth.For a few seconds I didn’t know where I was, only that my cheek rested against something solid and warm, one arm draped across a broad chest while the other was tucked beneath my waist.When I opened my eyes properly, Nikolai was already awake, sitting slightly upright against the headboard, shirtless, one arm around me, the other resting loosely over the blanket. His hair was still mussed from sleep, and when I lifted my head he was looking down at me.Heat rushed into my face. I realized, with a small, mortifying jolt, exactly how I had been sleeping, curled against him, as if I belonged there. Nikolai’s mouth curved.“Good morning,” he said.“Morning,” I said, my voice still filled with sleep. “How long have you been awake?”“A while,” he answered. “You seemed comfortable, so I chose to let you sleep in for a while longer.”I pushed myself up a little, feeling my face heat up as I blushed, though I did not move far. He watched me with an expression that w
