Dominik sat rigid behind the wheel, his grip on the leather tight enough to strain the tendons in his hands. He kept his eyes on the road, his expression carved into stone, but the storm inside him betrayed the calm mask he wore. Violence still lingered in the silence \u2014the metallic tang of blood, the memory of gunfire, the echo of her scream. Behind him, Maksim and Lev murmured in low Russian, their voices muted, planning the next step.<\/p>\n

Dominik barely heard them. His attention was fixed on the woman beside him. Anya hadn\u2019t spoken since he tore her from the wreckage. She had fought like a cornered animal, terror blazing in her every movement when those bastards dragged her from his home. Now, though, she was silent, her body stiff, her gaze fixed on the blur of city lights outside her window.<\/p>\n

Her hands were locked in her lap, trembling as though her bones themselves remembered the fear. A foreign weight pressed against his chest, gnawing and relentless. Guilt. He despised the taste of it. Dominik was not a man who faltered. He was not built for softness. For decades, he had thrived on control\u2014on calculation, ruthlessness, and power. Emotion was a weakness, and weakness was a weapon enemies wielded to destroy you. Yet here he was, staring at her profile in the shifting glow of streetlamps, his walls dangerously close to splintering.<\/p>\n

He should have foreseen the ambush. He should never have allowed the Drasanov scum to breach his estate, his sanctuary. To lay their hands on her under his roof was a stain he would never forgive. Rage surged hot through his veins at the thought, his jaw tightening until it ached, his grip on the wheel threatening to snap it in two. He would drown them in blood for this.<\/p>\n

Every last one. But vengeance could wait. Right now, only one thing mattered\u2014Anya. Alive. Breathing. His. She hadn\u2019t shifted once since they got into the car. The faint, uneven rhythm of her breathing betrayed the war still raging inside her. When the streetlights swept across her face, he caught the flicker of her lashes pressed tight, the whitened knuckles where her fingers dug into the seat.<\/p>\n

As if the world itself was slipping away beneath her, and she clung to the only solid thing she could find. \u201cAnya,\u201d he said at last, breaking the heavy silence. His voice came rougher than intended, edged with the bite of his own unease. He needed to hear her. To anchor her to him. \u201cAre you hurt?\u201d Her eyes fluttered open, glassy and unfocused.<\/p>\n

Morning light filtered softly through the lace curtains, spilling a muted gold across the room. The kitchen, like the rest of their home, was modest\u2014but it had always been her mother\u2019s pride. It was the place where the family came together each night, where conversation and laughter mingled with the aroma of whatever meal simmered on the stove. Her dark brown hair tumbled over her shoulders in loose waves, framing a face as pale and delicate as porcelain.<\/p>\n

The contrast of her pale blue eyes against her hair was striking\u2014eyes that seemed older than she was, filled with curiosity and quiet questions. Her lips held a natural blush, soft and unpainted, lending her a beauty untouched by the cosmetics her peers relied on. She carried herself with an understated elegance, though she had never been comfortable with her own body.<\/p>\n

The curves that had appeared over the years drew the occasional glance from men, but those looks never lasted under her father\u2019s steady, unyielding gaze. Her father had always made sure of that.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
