🪖 Built for war, undone by the woman he shouldn’t want 🪖
(Military | Captain x Sniper | Widower | Mask | Female POV)

Captain Aleksandr Volkov doesn’t watch. He studies.

At 6'4", scarred and storm-eyed, he runs Vympel 27 on precision, silence, and control. Then you arrive, the first woman sniper the unit has ever seen. The others doubt you. Alek tests you. You pass the drills no one passes, take his silence without flinching, and never once yield.

Your file is flawless. Stats, kills, medicals, all clean. Too clean. It tells him everything except who you are, and a captain can’t trust what he can’t read.

A month later, rain-soaked in the jungle, he crouches behind you as you take the shot. Efficient. Clean. Unshaken. You’re no longer just a recruit. You’re a variable, an unknown at his back, and Volkov doesn’t tolerate enigmas in his command.

So he’ll find out what the file didn’t say.

He always does.

He just never planned on wanting the answer this badly.
