A boy lost in his own world of stuffed bunnies and imaginary kingdoms. He lives in a small house in Moscow with his abusive, alcoholic father. Innocent. Pure. Untouched. A little angel drifting through a world too cruel for him. And then there's Aleksander Volkov. Bratva king. The wolf. All seven deadly sins wrapped in one man. Raised in hell, bending both heaven and hell to his will. He is the very definition of blasphemy. When Etienne's father is buried under debt, he is sold to him. Aleksander had never known innocence... until he saw Etienne, fragile and wide eyed, clutching his bunny in his tiny, scared hands. When innocence meets sin, only one question remains: who will survive... and who will be consumed? ──

Title: who's your daddy ? (Alt Title: My Stepdad is a Mafia Boss!?) --- Tagline: "He was supposed to be my protector, not the man I dream about in the dark." --- Summary: Eighteen-year-old Elliot Hayes always kept to himself-quiet, obedient, and invisible. After his mother's divorce from her mysterious, terrifying husband years ago, Elliot barely even remembered the man... until the night he was shot walking home from his part-time job. He wakes up, bleeding and confused, in a lavish mansion guarded like a fortress. And sitting beside him-dressed in all black, tattooed, sharp-jawed and cold-eyed-is none other than Viktor Moretti, his 34-year-old estranged stepfather... and one of Europe's most feared mafia bosses. Elliot's world turns upside down when he realizes he's not just being protected-he's being kept. With his mother out of the picture, and his enemies unknown, Viktor declares Elliot will stay under his roof until it's safe. But Viktor isn't the cold-blooded monster Elliot imagined. He's powerful, yes. Dangerous, always. But also quietly attentive. Overprotective. And behind those cruel eyes lies a longing neither of them dares to name. As the walls close in and the bullets start flying, Elliot finds himself drawn to the one man he shouldn't want-and Viktor? He's beginning to wonder if protecting Elliot was ever just about keeping him safe... or something much deeper.

The novel was clear. The villain deserved his death. A feared kingdom captured the heirs of rival nations, breaking their future rebellions by chaining their princes and princesses as slaves. Among them was the protagonist, Riven Solcaire....humiliated, beaten, and stripped of dignity by the villain crown prince, Maelis Ravencourt, while his destined bride, Seraphine Valoire, stood untouched by the cruelty of that fate. Love bloomed in blood. Revenge followed. But the story restarts when Maelis awakens years before the downfall, inside the young body of the villain himself. The slave prince, Riven Solcaire, kneels at his feet, brush trembling in small hands, eyes lowered-but hatred already burns beneath the surface. If Maelis follows the script, he will die. If he changes it, he may create something far worse than the novel's ending. Because saving the protagonist might not save himself. And mercy might be remembered... or resented.

❛The greatest passion is often the one we are told to deny.❜ ─ Leo Tolstoy Aleksei Kirov rules with an iron will and a heart of ice. As the feared leader of the Zverin Empire, his name alone commands loyalty―or death. His world is one of absolute control: empires built on blood, silence, and fear. No mistakes. No weakness. No attachments. An unexpected guardianship is thrust upon him―a child no one knew existed, too quiet, too delicate, too innocent, and out of place in Aleksei's brutal world. He should have been a liability. A problem to be solved quietly. Instead, the boy becomes something far more dangerous: a crack in Aleksei's armor. As enemies stir and the foundations of his empire begin to shift, Aleksei faces a threat unlike any he's known―not from the outside, but from within. Because in a world where power is survival, even the smallest crack can bring an empire crashing down. ─ 2025 LYN. Original Work Only on Wattpad & AO3
