Chapter Twenty-Four

Desmier

I can’t remember the last time someone pushed me to this level of rage.

I’m furious Viktor is here. And I heard what he said to Anastasia.

He told her he loved her and sold her a vision of the future any girl would give her soul for. Dreams, children. A life.

A nomad like me who came from an unstable home, watched his mother die, and prefers the company of the sea couldn’t offer a girl like her anything of the sort.

I don’t have dreams, and I can’t see a future. When I try to, all I see there is darkness and doom.

I know, in whatever is left of my heart, that’s because his father—our father—took my mother away from me. She was my home.

Viktor stands and stares at me head on, squaring his shoulders like he’s ready for the fight I want to give him, but he doesn’t know there’s no way back when you fight me.

“Like to see me try? Really?” His nostrils flare. “Well I already am trying.”

“She’s mine and you’re not getting her back.” I move forward and Anastasia shoots up to step in front of him.

“Who the fuck do you think you are? Do you seriously believe I’m scared of you? I’m Viktor Volkova!” He sounds like a lion staking his claim to the pack.

“I’m Desmier Volkova and I don’t give a fuck who you are. I will fuck you up from here to Valhalla.”

“Think I’m actually scared of you? Or that fucking rune makes you a god?”

“How about we test how much of a god my rune makes me.” The fucking asshole really doesn’t know who he’s talking to.

“Desmier, please.” Anastasia’s eyes plead with me to calm myself, but I’m not backing down. “Please don’t make this worse.”

“Stay out of this.” I look away from her because she still wears that expression that tells me she loves him.

God, would I love to tell her about the vineyard and taint her perfect vision of him. I’m only fucking holding back because I still need to keep that secret, but also because it feels like grabbing for scraps in shit when you have nothing left and know your opponent has one over on you.

Regardless of what I think or what Viktor stood to gain from marrying Anastasia, he was telling the truth—he does love her.

I could tell. She could too.

Anastasia steps closer. “Desmier—”

“You heard me.”

“Why are you stopping her? She deserves to fight for what she wants too.” Viktor seethes with blazing eyes. “What kind of man steals a woman seconds before she’s about to take her wedding vows?”

“This one.” I’m not about to sugarcoat who or what I am just because he’s trying to make me look bad. I know who I am, and I’ve never pretended to be anyone else. “This entitled motherfucker who wouldn’t hesitate to kill you.”

“You’re seriously threatening me?” Viktor rushes me and makes the mistake of shoving me in my chest.

I’m like an unmovable wall of steel, so he doesn’t even move a hair on my head.
