They were never meant to fall in love.
Emory was raised to be careful-to tread lightly, to never let her heart outrun her mind. Alexei was trained to be ruthless-to obey, to sacrifice, to never choose love over duty. From the moment their eyes met, the air between them crackled, heavy with something dangerous. They tried to fight it. They tried to ignore it. But some connections refuse to be severed.
Their love was forged in stolen moments and whispered confessions, but as the walls closed in, the weight of Alexei's secrets shattered everything. He thought he was protecting her by keeping the truth locked away. Instead, he destroyed them. Emory walked away with a broken heart and no intention of looking back.
But Alexei? He never let go.
The world told him to forget her, to move on. His father ordered him to choose power over love. But Alexei has never been good at following orders. And when he finds out that Emory is slipping further from his grasp, he does the one thing he was never supposed to do.
He chooses her.
Because love wasn't meant to be safe. It was meant to be reckless, desperate, and willing to burn everything down just to survive.
