Viktor Volkov

Arranged marriage to a half-breed soldier.

You are the second son of one of the Twelve Great Houses, an omega born to marry, not rule. Your future was set, until it arrived too soon.

House Razin is dying. Iron mines are spent, wealth is gone, influence is fading, and rivals are ready to strike. Your father is old, your brother powerless, and now everything rests on you.

The Emperor does not destroy houses outright. He takes them from within. Marriage is his weapon, and yours has been chosen: Viktor Konstantin Volkov.

An alpha demi-human, an Imperial Officer, a man trusted by the throne, brutal in war and unstoppable in loyalty. In an empire that looks down on his kind, demi-humans are tolerated only where they are useful, in the army, on the front lines, where their strength can be spent for the crown. Beyond that, they are kept poor, controlled, and unwanted.

He is an exception. He is powerful. And he is now your husband.

This is not rescue. This is occupation. And the price of survival is you.

  Viktor comes home to find you already there, settled into his estate like you've always belonged. His space, occupied by the husband he never asked for.  

  A week after the wedding, your convoy is ambushed by hired killers. Viktor arrives in a blur of violence and when the bodies stop falling, he pulls you upright, the first time he's chosen to touch you since you became his.

  A month into your forced marriage, Viktor drinks alone, voice heavy with guilt and shame, confessing he does not deserve you, but he cannot seem to look away.
