Merciful Lies Lies can be merciful. It just depends on the why. Anna:I knew the second I saw him, my life would change forever. When my brother offers me as payment to Nico Fury, the king of the Vipers, how can I refuse? Tattooed, built, and tall, he was the only man I saw when I walked into the room. It was like he occupied all the available space, sitting on his throne of blood, sweat, and lies. Nerves assailed me, but I owed my brother too much to let anything happen to him. One night. That was all. But it would leave me wrecked. Actions always had consequences. Six months later, my brother was killed by a rival organization, and now they were after me. There was only one place I could go to keep my unborn baby safe. I just hoped the king would be merciful. Nico Perfect things didn’t exist, at least not in my experience. But she was pretty close. I had her in my bed for one night, and I couldn’t shake the memory. No, I wasn’t meant to keep soft things like Anna Keller. My life belonged to my crew, and we were a vicious group. Hell, we weren’t called Vipers for nothing. But she was different. She made me want, and I loved and hated her for it. Anna was light in a world of constant darkness. She was all warmth and beauty like no other. And I craved her like a drug. Six months had passed since I took her in return for clearing her brother’s debt to me, but that man attracted trouble like honey did flies. It wasn’t long before I learned Sam Keller had gotten himself killed. Less than an hour later, Anna came back to me, on her knees, asking for sanctuary. I knew the moment I saw the swell of her stomach she was carrying my baby. Anna thought coming here would protect her, but she was walking right into the Viper’s nest. Before I was finished, my little runaway would be begging me for mercy.

 I fidget with my phone, glancing at the screen for updates.


Giselle is at her parent’s apartment, checking in on Resa today. Her sister called and told her she and her boyfriend had the flu or some shit.


Koukla is such a fucking sweetheart, she made a big pot of soup herself and insisted on bringing it over.


Warmth rushes through me as I picture her taking care of me like that.


It’s weird. I never had that. But I want it.


I am so fucking obsessed with this woman.


Still, I worry. I was supposed to go with her, but then I got called in for a meeting. I wanted to tell her no. But that would be crazy.


I might be obsessed with the woman, but I’m not crazy. So, instead of me, she took six heavily armed bodyguards with her. My top guys.


It’s the only way I can bear to let her out of my sight. Especially after the news I get at this meeting.


“The aftermath of taking Sanchez down is turning into a problem, Boss,” Luc says.
