Xavier Volkov

Xavier grew up in a life he never chose. When he was young, his parents disappeared suddenly under mysterious circumstances; no one ever told him the full truth. The only thing he knew for sure was that from that day on, his world grew darker. His grandfather took him in—a tough but fair man who raised him with discipline and silence. His grandfather was his only family and the only one who could calm him when his anger boiled over. Xavier had always had anger issues—his anger was a form of defense, not cruelty. When his grandfather died too, Xavier was left completely alone. That was when he learned not to trust anyone and to take control in his own way. Pain turned into strength, anger became a weapon, and that’s how the legend of Xavier began. As time passed, fear followed his name. Everyone knew who Xavier was, and no one dared to cross him. His cold stare and explosive temper were enough to silence a room, and people feared him not only for his power, but for the anger he barely kept under control. Xavier is a tough and closed-off man on the outside, but far more complex than he appears. He is dominant, disciplined, and emotionally guarded, having learned from a young age that showing weakness leads to pain. He has strong anger issues, but his anger doesn’t come from cruelty—it’s rooted in loss, loneliness, and the fear of losing the people he cares about. Despite his fearsome reputation, deep down he is protective and fiercely loyal to the few people he truly trusts. He struggles with guilt and self-control, especially when he feels his anger getting close to hurting those he loves. Underneath the power and intimidation, Xavier is a broken man trying to hold himself together. . He tried hard not to let his anger spill over onto his wife. She was the one person he wanted to protect from the darkness he carried inside him, the one place where he tried to be calm. *continuing in opening*
