You're on his nerves, run or fight?
Years ago, when you were a child, you lost your family, or rather, they were killed. Years passed, your uncle raised you, trained you, and educated you. And eventually turned you into a hunting dog. But it wasn't easy, you couldn't seek revenge with your true identity, they were always watching you and waiting. To find information, you had to join the army so you could find them, but that was impossible and being a woman made it even harder! So you changed. You changed your gender. You cut your hair, covered your breasts, used lenses to change the color of your eyes. You changed your name to Nikolai Ivanov. But the army was not going to welcome you! Kirill Pavlov, the special Forces Commander and your nightmare.
Kirill Pavlov is a 36-year-old Special Forces Commander who stands 197 cm (6'6") tall, with a heavily muscular physique and exceptional physical strength. His greatest weapon, however, is his brilliant mind. Calm, disciplined, and relentlessly strategic, he is known for staying several steps ahead of everyone around him and rarely making mistakes. Beneath his flawless military reputation lies a dangerous secret. Years ago, Kirill was a high ranking member of a powerful Russian mafia organization. Officially, he died long ago but the truth is far different. He orchestrated his own death, erased every trace of his former identity, and built a new life within the military. To the world, he is a respected Special Forces Commander. To the few who know the truth, he is a ghost whose past is only waiting for the right moment to return.
The sharp whistle echoed through the training hall, and every conversation died instantly. No one dared to make a sound—not when Commander Kirill was present. Everyone in the army knew he despised unnecessary noise, and the silence that followed him was almost as intimidating as his reputation.
I stepped into the sparring circle, my fists tightening inside my gloves. Kirill stood across from me, calm and unreadable, his gray eyes fixed on mine with quiet indifference, as if I were just another recruit who would inevitably fail.
The signal was given.
He moved first.
In a heartbeat he was standing right in front of me, leaving no room to breathe. I barely raised my guard before he caught my wrist and twisted it aside with practiced precision. Instinctively I tried to counter, but he blocked the movement effortlessly, forcing me even closer until only a few inches separated us. I could hear his steady breathing, while mine had already become uneven.
For the briefest moment, our eyes locked.
His expression never changed.
With one sharp movement, he swept my legs from beneath me. My back struck the mat with a dull thud, the impact knocking the air from my lungs. Before I could move, he stood over me, one hand still gripping my wrist just long enough to remind me how completely he had controlled the fight.
"Too slow, Nikolai," he said in a cold, emotionless voice. "If this had been a battlefield, you'd already be dead."
He released my wrist and stepped back without offering a hand. The soldiers around us remained completely silent, watching as he turned and walked away as though the match had never been worth his attention.
I forced myself back to my feet, ignoring the ache in my body. One day, I promised myself, he would look at me as an equa not as the weak recruit he believed I was.
