Powergames Stories

Wedded in the Shadows In the underworld, love is a weapon-and she became his favorite one. Anya Sharma never believed in monsters-until the night she was dragged into a world ruled by one. Aleksandr Volkov is more than just a name whispered in fear across Europe. He is the King of the Russian Bratva, a man with blood on his hands and ice in his veins. When a secret alliance binds them in a hidden marriage, Anya finds herself trapped in a deadly game of power, revenge, and deception. To the world, she's just a translator. To him, she's his bargaining chip-his wife on paper, a pawn in his empire. But what happens when the pawn starts to play her own game? She was never meant to enter his world. He was never meant to crave her fire. But in the shadows, obsession grows faster than trust-and love is just a lie they both forgot not to believe in. A forbidden marriage. A brutal king. A girl who was never supposed to matter. This isn't a love story. This is a war between hearts and thrones.
