They say monsters live in the shadows when young, and only when we're older do we learn the truth.
In such a world untouched by mercy, existing beneath the surface he hides. A world where blood is currency, silence is survival, and love is weakness. Raw and cold, born with his last cry into violence and forged by betrayal, a new Pakhan beholds the new throne.
She thought she understood darkness. Raised by secrets and scarred by loss she built her life on law and logic, clinging to justice like a lifeline. Until justice failed her and she was taken. Now she awakens as a prisoner of the Bratva, yet not in chains but for a purpose. Quietly she is forced to navigate in a world ruled by her monster, where the more she learns about the Pakhan who owns her fate, the more she sees the cracks beneath his armour and the ruin within herself.
There is no love story lurking behind such shadows, but a story about survival, power, and what's left when the light is gone... Aleksandr Ilya Volkov and Jamileh Kaviani.

New York's Inevitable: Aleksandr + Thalia
Aleksandr and Thalia's relationship has changed a lot in the last ten years, but Thalia has accepted that the last three years that they're just going be best friends. The famous Pakhan saw her as a friend and nothing more. Until more happens. The timing is horrible, but they seem to want the same thing. A family together. But when you are with someone as powerful and high profile as Aleksandr Ivanov there are going to be problems. Mean girls, controlling behavior, kidnapping, torture. Can Thalia and Aleks overcome their obstacles and become a true partnership? "She still kept under lock and key?" Enzo hyena-laughed. "Speaking of girls, where's your pretty little Thalia?" I tried my best not to react. I trusted these guys, but Thalia was very pretty and all of these men liked pretty things. "She's at home with Irina," I explained. "Couldn't find another babysitter? I wouldn't mind looking at something pretty instead of your ugly mugs," Elias laughed in a way I knew he was joking. But it didn't feel funny to me. I twitched as I wanted to get my knife. Thalia was mine, but I had never actually come out and said that. I'd always called her off-limits, I knew some of them thought it was in familial way. I guess it was about time I fess up. I took another shot of vodka before I blurted it out, "I'm trying to get her pregnant." "You guys are finally together?" Santiago actually looked half interested in the conversation. "More or less," we'd be together eventually I didn't care how we got there. "But you're trying for a baby?" Elias asked. "I am. She doesn't exactly know," I fessed up.

A Union Of Violence
She was meant to be a peace offering. Instead, she became their obsession. When Eve Cavalari is forced into an arranged marriage with Vladimir Morozov, the notorious Pakhan to a rival mafia dynasty, she expects her life to be signed away in silence. But Vladimir doesn't't believe in tradition-or mercy. To him, loyalty is forged in fire, and his closest men, his ruthless consigliere and his violent enforcer, are bound to him in every way that matters. As the days pass by, Eve learns her role is far more dangerous than the daughter of a don, far more consuming than the bride of a king. She has been bound not to one man, but three. Each claims a piece of her: Vladimir, cold and commanding, who rules with unshakable control. Dante, the sharp-minded strategist, whose quiet intensity hides a lethal edge. Grayson, brutal and untamed, a storm of violence and desire. Together, they pull Eve into a world of fractured loyalties and forbidden hunger, where passion is entwined with peril and betrayal carries a death sentence. She was meant to unite two empires. Instead, she may be the spark that sets them all on fire.
𝙋𝙖𝙠𝙝𝙞 : His Sinful Obsession
#trending 1 on 17-10-25 (#book-2 of PAKHI ) PROLOGUE :- I've seen the love that burned its own home to ashes. I've seen him drown himself in alcohol-not for pleasure, not for addiction-but to escape her. To blur the edges of the memories that refused to fade. Her presence haunts him like a ghost he can't outrun. And his heart... I've seen it clench, tremble, shatter. Over and over again. I was there when he fell to his knees for her. I've witnessed every single change in him-because of her. She didn't just love a monster... she changed him. She turned the devil into a man. And yet- She left. Left him with nothing but misunderstandings and silence. And now, their lives have once again dived into the same ocean they once tried to swim across together- An ocean full of hate, betrayal, ruthlessness. New entries are coming-people who will twist their fate. Old secrets are still buried, hidden faces moving the pieces behind the destruction I'm standing in the middle of. He once burned a country when he said he hated her. And she? She stood still. Took everything he threw at her. The pain. The humiliation. The disrespect. Like she was born to carry it. But just think. Just think for a moment. Just for a fucking moment- What happens... when they love each other again? What happens when the misunderstandings clear, when the pain turns to passion, when the hate turns into something softer, deeper, dangerous? What happens when he claims her again? If hate made him burn the world- What the hell will love make him do?![Heart of Fury - Stone and Fire # 2 [17+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/349318920-256-k805469.jpg)
Heart of Fury - Stone and Fire # 2 [17+]
College? No, this was paradise. Three years filled with partying, not so secret underground drug-deals, and hot-headed men sliding into beds like snakes with no self-control. Things were different now. I wasn't that perfect, frill-wearing angel Mama thought would walk into the house ring-beared. So many things had changed, except for one. Him. He was a disease, one I couldn't get rid of no matter how hard I tried. Everytime he's near, I feel myself turn into something I've never seen before. Like there's something under my skin only he is capable of bringing out. He's manipulative, twisted, and completely wrong in every way. I hate him. Yet every night, from miles away, I find him in my dreams. Mikhail Volkov Fuck the patriarchy. Better yet, fuck everything and everyone. It was a game of cat and mouse, me chasing victories every single day. The Bratva's constant want for war was what kept the fuel in my blood, burning up into flames whenever my knuckles made contact with another opponent. In the end, I'm always the one left standing. This fire in my bones, I feel it burst into flames while every dark memory, thought and desire runs into my fists. So many medals, but only the people around me could see them. The real battle was against my head. And maybe, just maybe, I was afraid to admit that I had no chance in winning it. She makes it harder. An angel with wings to everyone else, yet a master at unveiling those devil's horns only when I'm near. There's this darkness, this fire, in the both of us. The only difference is, she's better at hiding it. She was gone, far away, yet there was this tether dowsed in fuel connecting us, one that only lit up when she came back. Every time she's near, I feel the limits surrounding my wrath being tested. Then again, rules are only made to be broken, right? Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*Complete

There are choices that feel like accidents. Decisions that arrive dressed as inevitability. And men who never act without already knowing the outcome. She doesn't realize she's been chosen, only that the world begins to bend when she steps into it. Elysian is not a place for coincidence. It rewards foresight, patience, and those ruthless enough to pull strings no one else can see. And he has built his empire on 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩. Power recognizes power and hers has 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 been dangerous. What looks like an unfortunate crossing of paths is anything but. Beneath every gesture lies intent. Beneath every silence, calculation. And beneath his attention, something sharpened by resistance rather than softened by it. They share a history that should have stayed buried, not because it was harmless, but because it taught them exactly how lethal the other could be. She thinks she's choosing her moves. He's been planning around them. Power shifts. Motives tangle. Obsession slips into something that looks like protection, like necessity until walking away stops being an option. Here, unions aren't built on submission, they're forged between equals who know precisely where to strike. A woman who refuses to be owned. A man who refuses to lose control. And a bond that was never a matter of if, only when. And the best part? 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭.

Ashes Of Vow And Solace
Her anchor. Her solace. Her Husband. He is the stillness in her whirlwind. Nikolai Adrian Petrov, the supreme head of the wicked Bratva brotherhood in Russia, a notorious strategist of the Cosa Nostra, and an emotionally detached, and manipulative lawyer. Everyone envied him for the power he held, and the mystery that clung to him like a second skin. Behind closed doors, he built empires from shadows, orchestrating chaos. He embraces twisted and cunning behavior. He wore control like a tailored suit. Some said he had no heart. Others believed he buried it long ago beneath layers of logic and ice. No one dares and want to cross paths with him; it's a cold embrace of oblivion. The grave they won't escape. His life. His haven. His Wife. She is the calm in his chaos. Svetlana Katerina D'Bianchi, a former successful super model and a hobbyist artist. She's an alluring and decisive woman. She makes her own rules, makes her own way and makes no apologies. She knows what she wants and how to tame it, when to work the angles and when to work her curves. Yet, all of that was cruelly snatched from her by her devious husband. · · ─ ·𖥸· ─ · · They married not for love, but for reasons unclear, Two lives intertwined, yet distant, sincere. No passion, no warmth, no promises spoken, Just quiet routines and hearts left broken. But time, like the seasons, has its own way, And where there was nothing, something began to stay. A bond slowly grew, soft and undefined, Love blossomed, though hesitant, hard to find. Then fate turned cruel, its hand so cold, Shattering what once had begun to unfold. Blame took root where once hope had bloomed, And silent hearts in bitterness loomed. Years passed in shadows, both trapped in their grief, Wounds left untended, no relief. Until a whisper came, with quiet despair-A truth so fragile, a truth laid bare. Time, once endless, now runs thin, Can love survive, or is this the end?
