(Formerly titled Drakos)
You were not born to be theirs. You were born of a different mind-set. You were born from a different war. Your soul is not theirs. Your mind is not theirs. Your heart has no place until you have found peace.
You were not born to be theirs. You were not born to be anyone's at all.

Refused too deeply. Answering a call he never understood, Echo stepped into a world that demanded he forget himself to survive. He didn't. Instead, he grew teeth. Chose war over obedience. Chose love over chains. Now, freedom costs blood, survival demands brutality, and devotion sharpens into something sacred and savage. He is not their Echo. He is his own. And he will never be silent again.Complete

From an early age, she knew she'd never understand the fatherly love she watched on TV as a child. Her father blamed her for her mother's untimely death, coping his mourning with his merciless wrath ever since she could walk. Anastasija chased for the kind of love and devotion she had only ever grown up reading. Her heart was aching and yearning for the gentle intimacy and care she'd never had the luxury of witnessing, let alone expirence. She hadn't a clue what to do if it ever happened to her. But as she grew older, the cold world she lived in wasn't as magical as the pages she immersed herself in. Her once intense longing for companionship simmered down to an unattainable fantasy until a pair of steel eyes tugged strings in the heart she once thought would never awaken.
The Mafia's Mercy
The darkness in his eyes, the dangerous smell of alcohol in his breath, and his deathly grip keeping me bound to him made my heart pound in my chest and my body quiver beneath him. Shamefully, it wasn't anything that I wasn't used to, because...the things I let him do to me? When he was frustrated, annoyed, and angry at the world, I was here to be his pound of flesh. In return, he masked the void of my loneliness because for months, that was the transaction of our relationship. He'd pin me to the wall, bend me over the counter, pull my hair, slap me, choke me, and I enjoyed every second of it because in that moment, it finally felt good to be powerless. Irony is a funny thing. I enjoyed being in pain because it made me forget how much I was hurting. *** "I warned you, doll." His voice strikes a string of chills down the base of my spine, a reminder that all of the time in the world could pass, and he's still not letting go. This is where the good girl in me dies. "You're mine now," he whispers. *** My name is Mercy-Mercy Carter. I went to college. Got myself a useless Bachelor of Science in Mathematics degree. His name is Marcel-Marcello Saldívar. However, at the time, I didn't know that he, the heir to the Saldívar Mafia empire, was the man that I had blindly offered myself to. As smart as I am, I was stupid all the times when it actually mattered. After all, he did warn me that he was dangerous. I just didn't think he could be much worse than my thug of a brother. I was vulnerable-naive. My name is Mercy, and I belong to him. My name is Mercy, and I am The Mafia's Mercy. ⚠️ Content Advisory: This is a DARK Romance novel, in every sense of the word.
