Her wrists were red and raw but at least her hands were free. "Who are you?" Her voice shook but she forced the words out. "What do you want?" "My name is Alexei Kozlov. And what I want is very simple." He leaned back in his chair. "I want Caspian Nero dead." The name hit her like a punch. Kozlov. The Bratva boss. The Russian mob. Caspian's biggest rival. "I don't know what you're talking about," she said. "I don't know anyone named Caspian Nero."

But in this moment, standing in the dimly lit library, I realized something unsettling. Damian Volkov wasn’t just a cold-hearted heir to the Bratva. He was a man who never lost. And now, for better or worse, I was on his side.

Something deeper. And then, like a puzzle falling into place, realization struck me like a slap to the face. This wasn’t random. This wasn’t just some street fight gone wrong. "Luca…" My voice turned deadly quiet. "Who did this to you?" His throat bobbed, hesitation flashing across his face before he finally whispered a name that sent ice through my veins. "Nikolai Volkov." I froze. The name alone was enough to make my blood run cold. Nikolai Volkov. The Bulgarian devil. The man whose very presence turned grown men into cowards. He wasn’t just dangerous—he was lethal, ruthless, and completely untouchable.

"You've embarrassed him for thirty years. Tonight ends with either you dead or him dead." I looked around the tent at the people who had become my makeshift family. Lyra, the daughter I'd watched grow up from a distance. Chris and Rhys, two men who'd risked everything to protect her.

He's a man who's spent three decades building an empire on other people's suffering. He has unlimited resources, no conscience, and absolutely nothing to lose."

Nearly five years ago I started cooperating with the FBI to bring down the Volka organization, its affiliates, and as much of the criminal underground in the Twin Cities as I could manage. I'm an American citizen, and the CEO of Vulture Financial. It's... very nice to meet you, Mia.”

“And you... you’re the target, Alexandro. You and I—we’re pawns. They want more than just me now.” Alexandro closed his eyes, feeling Ravik stir again beneath his skin. The wolf was desperate to break free, but the silver made it impossible. Still, his instincts screamed. His senses were sharper than ever, even under the pain. He could feel the danger swirling in the air like a storm building behind a veil.

THE VOLKOV TWINS BOOK 1 Intro: Elara Sokolova never imagined danger could be beautiful. Not in her quiet life of survival and scholarship and definitely not in the dim corners of the university library where she retreats when the world feels too loud. She’s careful and observant trained by years of navigating foster homes and cold guardians, she’s been taught the hard way how harsh the world can be and she knows the world has a way of breaking the soft and the naive.

“Alexei Volkov was my father. Not in name—never in name. Born in ’78, I was the result of his rape of my mother, a political prisoner in Kolyma. She died giving birth; the guards left me in the snow. Alexei found me at three days old—pulled me from the ice, named me Viktor after his dead brother. He raised me in secret, in the shadows of the camp. Taught me to fight, to kill, to survive. But love? Never. I was his experiment—proof he could forge something stronger than the Party. When the Soviet Union fell, he sent me to Moscow with a bag of rubles and a list of names. ‘Build something new,’ he said. ‘Something that lasts.’ I did. The Bratva was my creation, but every tattoo, every scar, eve
