Dark Bratva Christmas

I was promised to the Prince.
I was stolen by the Beast.
Now, the only bells ringing this Christmas are alarm bells.

Matysh Volkov.
Cruel. Callous. Twice my age.
Ruthless brother of the man I love—
and now, the one ripping away my innocence.

I didn’t choose the monster.
I was forced to say “I do” to him.
Forced to carry his heir…
to secure an alliance with the enemy.

He hates me. I loathe him.
But that doesn’t stop him from unwrapping me like a gift he intends to break.
It doesn’t stop him from tying me to his bedposts, punishing every defiance,
until I’m screaming his name.

I thought escape was my only wish this year…
“Run again, Little Flame… and I’ll put your fire out.”

But when his enemies strike—
on a snowy Christmas night—
they come for me and the baby growing inside me.

And suddenly, the most dangerous Bratva King in New York—
the man who swore he felt nothing—
turns into the monster who leaves the snow painted in blood.

Because for me and our child?
Matysh has burned the world down once—
and he’d do it a million times over again.
