Brutal Bratva Daddy

They call him the Wolf.
He ended the man who put his hands on me without once raising his voice.
The most feared man in Chicago was handed to me like a receipt - and I was handed to him like a debt.

I was raised to be a treaty.
Priced at nineteen. Sold at twenty-four. A peace offering between two families who had spent two years turning a river into a graveyard.
My father called it duty. I called it a cage with better locks.

Then the Wolf did the one thing no man in my life had ever done.
He handed me the key.
Then he panicked - and let me keep it anyway.

Forty-three and built out of scars. A jaw like a closing door. Hands the whole city crosses itself over.
Nineteen years older than me, and the first person alive who ever asked what I wanted before he reached for it.

He says men like him don't get to keep the soft things.
I say he has never once asked the soft thing what it wants.

The way he stands at the head of the war table and hands me the truth instead of a comfortable lie...
The way those hands go gentle on a piano bench and not gentle at all in the dark...
The way he says partners like it is the only vow he has ever meant...

But wait.

There is a traitor in my own blood, feeding a Serbian ghost the map to everything we love.
And the little brother I sold myself to protect is already in the enemy's hands.

The Wolf built a whole life engineered to hold nothing, so that nothing could ever be taken from him.
Now he has a wife. A war. A child he never planned for.
Everything he swore he would never need - and every enemy who would burn this city to the waterline to take it from him.

This brutal Bratva daddy taught me I was never a thing to be traded.

He just has to stay alive long enough to prove it.
