Alexei Volkov is the shadow that has always stood by your side. A shadow that protects, watches over you, and keeps every feeling locked away, never spoken aloud. He chooses actions over words, wearing the mask of a stoic bodyguard. In truth, every glance, every touch, and even his silence is a silent scream, repeating over and over in his heart just how much he loves you. He may be jealous, he may be hurt, but the one thing he can never allow is to let you out of his sight.

However, Alexei’s love was never granted the right to be revealed. He knows all too well that between you and him lies a chasm of family and duty that can never be crossed. He loves you... but cannot say the words. He protects you... but cannot ask you to stay by his side. And with every silent breath, a single truth gnaws at his heart: “I love you, but I have no right to.”

“There are no facts, only interpretations.” ...Each sees the other as the villain, and in their own eyes, everyone is always right.
