In the end, no one will be spared... ●●● The horror stories about the Mercy Empire have been circulating for millennia. Rumor has it that they live somewhere in the mountains, but no one has seen a member of this pack. At least, no one that is still alive. People often pass this story off as just that, a story; that is, until the Mercy Empire joins The Alliance, the strongest organization of packs in the western hemisphere. Everyone is shocked. Everyone has questions about the oldest, new player in the game. Especially about the person calling all the shots: Rylan Mercy, Alpha of the Mercy Empire. Feared by some. Hated by others. Dangerous to everyone. How can the other Alphas take down the one who is arguably the most ruthless Alpha of them all? That's right. Hit her where it hurts. ●●● This story has some (and by some I mean a shit ton) of mature language in it. If your eyes are innocent and you want to keep them that way you might not want to read this. But if you use profanity like salt and pepper (which I may or may not be guilty of) then get ready to immerse yourself in the world of No Mercy. Let me just tell y'all now this is not your typical "mates" love-story. In that, I mean although the love story is a prominent part of it, it is not the main aspect of this story! So if you are looking for more a cliched werewolf love story, you might want to look somewhere else! Credit to @unbrokenheartss for the amazing cover!

"I may not remember much, but I do know that I had the best time with you last night." Charlie drops his hand from his mouth and lifts his head to stare into my eyes, pushing his hair back from his face at the same time. "And I know this is awkward now, because I'm pretty sure we were both naked together in bed last night..." I choke on air, trying to dispel the imaginary object from my throat. Charlie reaches out and lightly grasps my hand; my eyes slide from our interlocked fingers to his shining pupils. "...but I still wouldn't change a single thing about it. So, I really do look forward to hearing from you later, Kaiydeen." It's like I've been taken hostage by his electric stare. I don't want to look away. I never want to look away. The busy noises of the street and the honking of the traffic fade as I lose focus, nothing strong enough to force my attention away from this boy. Finally, Archer loudly clears his throat as he flings his door open and plops into the car with a huff, breaking the trance between the two of us. I look away as I withdraw my hand from his grasp, trying to figure out what the hell just happened. This is going to be a long 6 months. ●●● Kaiydeen has always known what she wanted, more like who, but she never knew exactly how to get it. So she's complacent with biding her time until it, actually he, comes to her; no matter how long that takes. But then one day she crashes into someone she doesn't expect. Someone that has always had an eye for her, and he isn't satisfied with biding his time until she's his. But when the one person she's always wanted admits he wants her, too, she's forced to make a choice. Should she go for the boy she just met or the boy she's always known? There is some use of mature language in this story, so if your eyes are innocent and you want them to stay that way this might not be the story for you. Credit to @slueths for the incredible cover!!

✾Highest Ranking: #73 in Adventure: 12/07/17✾ ✾Highest Ranking: #514 in Fantasy: 11/30/17✾ After humans nearly went extinct at the end of the thirtieth century - and almost took Earth along with them, they were devastated. Fearful. Alone. What should have been the start of their demise became proof of their legacy. Instead of being abandoned by the planet they were on the verge of killing, the entity at its core gave the remaining few a task and with it a gift of the four natural elements. Quintessence. They were to rebuild what they destroyed and redeem their ancestors for their volatile mistakes. Now, six hundred years later the Guild Association was created to maintain balance among what was now called Vita. Only those with the greatest influence and power were recognized as guilds. They harbored the purest form of quintessence, but only two were delegated as overseers of the planet. The Light Heathens Guild and their cursed counterpart, the Nightmares Guild. Their guildsmen reaped prestige and nobility, but not Aegis. Despite being heir to the Light Heathens Guild, Aegis is hidden and grows up in solitude with her younger brother, Somnus, on a mountaintop. If not for her adoptive brother belonging to the opposite authority, the Nightmares Guild, perhaps they could have wasted away together. But the recklessness of their caretaker leads them to the very place they're forbidden. The capital of the Two Authorities.

Wife The world was indeed a very small, cramped space, because the thought that I would see him again never crossed mind. The years changed him. The loving, laid-back man I used to love was gone, and in his place is a cruel, calculating hunter. I didn't care though, we were through and the love I felt for him was long buried in the past. Was it? Husband She goddamned left me. No how, no why. She just fucking left and she thought she was fucking badass enough to kill. She doesn't have a fucking clue that she was about to flick a fire to a hive of criminals. Fuck! I anticipated every second of meeting her again, because now that I caught her, there was no fucking letting go.
