Without Mercy

The last three years of my life have been hell.

I’ve lost my mother, my brother and my best friend.

The only people I cared about, I was taken away from.

Life was bleak.

No friends. Just beatings—being kicked down if a spark of my old self returned.

I closed myself off to new people except the occasional too alike to me to turn away.

The threat of my father going after those closest to me is too high a price to pay.

Until they came along.

They make me long for more.

To break out from under my father’s thumb and fight for those I lost.

The road to their love is grave and those three years changed me but Jace, Luc, Alec, Dominic, Maverick and Mason are worth fighting for.
