Viktor
“NAME A PRICE,” Mikhail says. “I owe you, Viktor. It’s time.”
My oldest brother and pakhan Mikhail looks at me over the fuzzy head of
his sleeping son and says, “I am indebted to you for everything.”
I shake my head slightly, dismissing the weight of his gratitude. “You don’t
owe me. I did what I had to do. I did what you needed me to do. It was
crucial that I take care of what’s yours because we’re family, and you know
that.” I pop the top of a beer and drink half of it in a few gulps.
I look out into the dark blue-black haze of a late September evening, the
lights of the city twinkling in the distance from our vantage point in The
Cove. We’ve had a tumultuous few months with a brief pause for our
brother Nikko’s wedding, but now it’s time for us to continue to make our
moves. We’ve made great strides here, and it’s time we kick things up.
Since our father’s death, we’ve been doing everything in our power to
strengthen our ties and put down roots as the most powerful family in The
Cove, nestled between Coney Island and Manhattan.
Every day that passes counts. Every strategic move a power play.
Mikhail’s voice grows softer, more earnest. “You saved my wife’s life,
Viktor.” Mikhail loves his wife Aria with all his heart, and on more than one
occasion, she’s been in grave danger. I’m not the only one who’s protected
her. We all have. It’s what we do.
I shift in my seat, feeling the unease settle over me. “Family does for
family. You’d have done the same for me,” I respond, my eyes briefly
meeting his before settling on the infant. “Just make sure you keep them
safe. That’s all I ask.”
The room falls silent, the magnitude of my request left lingering. Mikhail
nods, his expression solemn. “I will. And anything you need, Viktor, it’s
yours. You name it.”
The other brothers present—Lev, our younger brother and Aleksandr,
second in command to Mikhail—listen intently to our conversation. I can
sense Lev getting restless beside me, tapping his foot as if he’s holding
himself back from interrupting.
“You guys don’t get it.” Lev speaks up from the back of the office, his voice
cutting through the previous chatter. I’m honestly proud of him for speaking
up. For years, he was the quietest, under the thumb of our father and
overshadowed by the rest of us older brothers. Our youngest brother often
keeps to himself but misses nothing. He and I have grown closer over the
past few months while my brother Nikko was stationed in Moscow.
