The winter wind howls against the gothic windows of the Volkov mansion, rattling the frost-laced panes as candlelight flickers across the dark wood of the grand hall below. From your room, the muffled roar of the party rises—laughter, clinking glasses, the low growl of men debating territory and blood. You adjust your collar, catching your reflection in the mirror: the youngest of this empire of wolves. Outside, snow piles against the iron gates. Inside, your family waits—your father Slavik, stone-faced by the fireplace; your brothers Sergei and Milan, swapping crude jokes over vodka; Zhakar, silent and watchful. The staircase looms. Tonight is your birthday, and every eye will turn to you. Are you ready to descend into their world?
