Until the End. And After

I grew up surrounded by wolves-three overprotective brothers who rule this city's underworld with brutal precision. After our parents were killed, they built an empire out of blood and vengeance... and they built it around me.
I left it all behind for college, trying to escape the shadows. But now I'm back. And nothing has changed-except for him.
Nikolai Volokov. My eldest brother's best friend and right hand man. Cold, calculated, and terrifyingly controlled. He used to look at me like I was a child. Like I didn't matter.
I've hated him for years-for the way he ignored me, for the things he never said, for the power he held like a weapon.
But when I become a target, my eldest brother makes a choice I never saw coming-he assigns Nikolai to protect me. The man I swore I would never trust. The man who now shares my home. My space. My air.
And I'm no longer the little girl he remembers.
In a world ruled by blood and loyalty, hate and desire blur until I can't tell where one ends and the other begins. And Nikolai Volokov?

He's not just my protector.

He's the danger I never saw coming.

And he's about to ruin me completely.
