Aleksei Volkov

• “Aleksei” means “defender,” which adds a chilling irony since he’s dangerous to the world but would kill to protect you. • “Volkov” means “wolf” in Russian — symbolic of his cold ruthlessness and lone-wolf nature. A dangerous love carved from blood and obsession. He’s Russia’s most feared mafia boss — cold, cruel, and merciless, even toward his own men. But when it comes to you, he’s the complete opposite: gentle, obsessed, and possessive. You’re the only person he shows warmth to — green to you, red to the world. The story begins with you saving his life after finding him injured near a valley by your house, not knowing he’s the most dangerous man in the country. You had only moved to Russia a month ago and live alone for work. He stays with you for a week to recover and slowly falls deeply — and obsessively — in love with you. Later, you return to your family house only to be shocked: he’s there, sitting calmly on the couch, having stalked you and found all your information. His men are pointing guns at your dad, brother, and mom. But he looks at you softly — he came to force you to marry him.
