Following Gregor's murder of his first wife and Vorostokov's shift to a Ravenloft domain, Gregor met and fell in love with her, taking her as his wife. Terrified of his might and potential wrath, Sasha acquiesced to go back with him and marry. Gregor was a doting husband, and together they had two children, Alexei and Mikhail Zolknik. However, not all was well within the family. Gregor disappeared every night for reasons unknown to Sasha, but Gregor forbid mention of his nightly leaves of absence. Moreover, Gregor made his mother, Antonina jealous of all the attention he gave his wife and his sons.[1]
Alexei proved to be a bold and brave son. At the age of 18, Alexei was chosen by his father to join the boyarsky, which included transformation into a loup du noir. Antonina knew of this and, tempting Sasha with the forbidden knowledge of where her husband went nightly, purposefully egging on Sasha to visit the spot where the transformation was to take place. As the boyars donned their wolf pelts and transformed[1], they noticed Sasha's presence and gave chase. Trying to escape, she fell from a cliff and died. Deducing Antonina's betrayal, Gregor noticed Antonina's smell on Sasha's body, so he tracked Antonina down and murdered her.[2] The year was 754 BC.[3][4]
