This is the first book in a 3 series story. Merciless (Mercy) Knight was never a good person. In fact she's the exact opposite, hence her name. Her parents abandoned her as a baby forcing her to grow up on the streets where she was eventually found...
~Mercy's p.o.v~(Next day) When I wake up, Cora is gone. Huh? I hear someone in the bathroom. She's taking a shower. What time is it? I look at the clock on her wall and it says 12:00 pm. Damn. I slept all that time? I stretch and drag myself out of bed. Why do I feel like something important is happening today? Your orientation is today. Orientation? For what? You joined the Blood Wolves. Oh yeah. I did. I sigh and crack my neck. I wanna take a shower too. "Let me in!!" I call out to Cora. "No!!" She calls back. Ugh!! I try to open the door but it's locked. She's smart. Hey, necklace. Make me go through this door. It hums in response and suddenly I'm inside the bathroom.

Woah. It's very plain. I feel someone staring at me. I look and it's Cora. She's glaring at me from the shower. Why is there no door blocking her? "What the hell?!" She exclaims while throwing soap at me. I barely dodge it by face planting on the floor. Ouch!! But damn does she have a nice body. Especially her breasts. I stand up and rub my head. "Jeez, Cora. Did you really have to throw soap at me?" I ask her. She gives me a crazy look. "I'm in the shower!!" She answers while covering her body. I already saw everything, and I'm not disappointed. "I need to take a shower. My orientation is today." I tell her. Plus there's two shower heads. I notice her face is slowly turning red. "Fine. I'm done anyway." She retorts then turning the shower off. Why is she so embarrassed? I hand her a towel from the shelf. She blushes and takes it. "Thanks." She tells me while wrapping it around her body. I start taking my clothes off before she leaves the room. Time to wash the guiltiness off me. In the corner of my eye I see Cora watching me get undressed with a red face. I smirk and face her. "You know, it's hard to take my clothes off when I have an audience." I tease while walking towards her. She backs away and bumps into the wall. I hear her curse under her breath. She holds her hands up. "Hurry up and take a shower!! Your orientation is in an hour." She demands then running out the bathroom. Oh shit. She's right. I turn the shower on and let the water run over my body. Ahh. This feels nice. I grab the soap Cora threw and sniff it. Grapes. Not bad. After 10 minutes I finish my shower. I look at myself in the mirror. What would Cora think if she saw the scars all over my body? Someone knocks on the door. "Come on, Mercy. We gotta get you ready for orientation." Cora calls out. Shit!! My scars won't be covered!! She opens the door and stops when she sees my body. It's over. She's gonna think I'm gross. I stare down at the floor in shame. "As you can see I have sc-" "You have nothing to be ashamed of Mercy." She interrupts. Huh? I look up in shock. "B-But why?" I ask, raising my eyebrow. She walks up to me and grabs my face with her hands. "It doesn't matter how many scars you have, Mercy. You're still beautiful." She answers while looking straight into my eyes. I blush and feel tears well up in my eyes. "Now, lets get you ready." She says, breaking the silence. I smile and blink away the tears. "Ok." I retort. She smiles back and helps me get ready. The outfit is all black. Is this all they wear? Cora notices my confusion and sighs. "Larry likes us to wear black so we blend in better at night during jobs." She tells me. That makes sense.
