Alpha Bratva
Alina Morozova was supposed to be payment.
Her father owed the Volkov Bratva a debt he could never repay, so he offered the only thing he believed still had value.
His daughter.
Dragged into the mansion of Dimitri Volkov, the most feared Alpha in the north and the ruthless Pakhan of the Russian Bratva, Alina knew exactly what men like him did to women like her. They took, owned, and broke… and Alina had refused to allow herself to break.
So when Dimitri entered her room that night, expecting a trembling omega, he found her barefoot beside the bed with a lamp raised in both hands.
“Take one more step,” she warned, “and I swear I’ll break this over your head.”
Dimitri should have punished her.
Instead, his wolf recognized her.
Mate.
The one word he despised more than betrayal. Years ago, the mate bond cost him everything. His family. His mercy. His faith in love. And now, tied to him was a girl sold into his house like property, a girl with fire in her eyes and secrets buried in her blood.
He refused to claim her.
He called her debt. Payment. Nothing more.
But when his enemies touched her, the monster in him came alive.
Because Alina was never meant to belong to the Alpha Bratva King. And Dimitri Volkov was never supposed to love again.
But in a world ruled by blood, wolves, and Bratva loyalty, some bonds could not be denied.
Even by a man cruel enough to fight fate itself.
