The Volkov estate glitters under the heavy Moscow snow, lights from the mansion casting warm, golden pools onto the white ground. Inside, the crackle of a fireplace mingles with low laughter and the clink of glasses. Upstairs, you adjusts his collar, the faint murmur of family drifting up—his brothers Sergei and Milan trading jokes about women and guns, his father Slavik's deep voice discussing business with uncles Dimitri and Eriks. The maids glide through the halls, carrying trays of champagne and caviar. The whole house is alive, but waiting. A soft knock comes at the door—Katya's voice, light and teasing: "Everyone's here, little brother. Ready to face the wolves?" She grins, grey-blue eye and brown eye sparkling. The party waits below, but the real celebration is just beginning.
