Allies with secrets and enemies with masks close in around him, and Cain must face a truth he never wanted to see: Vengeance won't set him free. And redemption will cost more than blood.

MERCILESS HUNTER Chapter 1 Blood In The Snow

The snow had no mercy.

It didn't care about the blood soaking into it. Didn't care about the boy lying motionless beside two lifeless bodies. The blizzard howled like it was mocking him-howling with the same cruelty that had ripped his world apart.

He was thirteen when it happened.

Thirteen when he watched the only people he ever loved fall to the ground, their bodies riddled with bullets, their eyes wide in betrayal. His mother's hand had reached for him, trembling, her mouth trying to form his name even as life drained from her lips. His father had gone down without a sound-eyes locked on the boy, silent as the grave he was seconds from entering.

Then came the silence.

Not the consoling kind, but the sort that seeps into every crevice of your body until you are unable to breathe. The snow fell more forcefully. Boots crunching away, laughing resonating in the trees, the men who had done it were gone. One of them had uttered the name to him:

"Tell Victor that the work is finished."

Victor.

The boy's spirit was marked by that name, which burned deeper and brighter than the cold and the anguish.

He refrained from crying.

He didn't yell.

It wasn't until daylight that he moved. The blood was frozen by then. His heart was the same.

Ten years later,

The hunter's black coat whipped in the wind as he stood at the cliff's brink. His expression was impenetrable and icy. The last of the setting sun fell on the scar across his jaw.

A group of armored cars crawled along the mountain trail under him, oblivious to the predator above.

With his weapon in his hands and his gaze fixed on the lead automobile, he knelt slowly. Not quite yet. It was all about timing. It everything went south with one misstep. This was too long overdue. Tracking for three days. Four informants were bought off. To keep the trail chilly, two were eliminated. He got closer with each stride.

In criminal circles, his moniker was now a whisper:

Cain.

They were unaware of his true identity.

They simply knew that someone vanished when he showed up.

No second chances.

No haggling.

Without mercy.

The quiet was broken by the trigger, like a hot knife, the bullet ripped through the engine block of the lead vehicle.

Flames grew.

There were screams. With the weapon slung over his back, Cain was already on the move, gliding deadly precision down the ice ridge. The air was obscured by smoke.

There was panic.

Like a shadow, he moved. There was never any opportunity for the guards. Before the others knew they were being pursued, two were down with silent shots. As he reached for his radio, the third fell. The fourth one took off Cain gave him permission. Sometimes, fear caused more harm than death.

A man cowered inside the last automobile, gasping on smoke. When he signed the shipment orders, his suit was soiled and he was rambling prayers to a God he couldn't recall.

Grabbing him by the collar, Cain tore open the door.

"Wait! I'll talk, please! Whatever you want, I'll give it to you! "I know," Cain stated bluntly. "That explains your continued existence." It was freezing in the warehouse.

Concrete cold, not snow cold, Gray, dead, Exactly what Cain required.

Alvarez was the man's name. A minor middleman in a trafficking organization that dealt in drugs, firearms, and human beings. Cain had no interest in the actual procedure. There was just one thing he desired:

a name.

the uppermost one.

The one pulling the strings.

With his arms shaking and his lip bleeding from the last blow, Alvarez was strapped to a steel chair. Calmly, Cain stood a few steps away. Making calculations.

"This is not required of you," Alvarez croaked. "I could go for a walk. Because of my connections, I could assist you.

Cain remained silent.

Beside him, he opened a case and took out a set of basic, yet efficient, surgical instruments. psychological power. Alvarez took a deep breath.

He shouted out, "I... I work for Victor Rykov." Cain's head jerked upward.

The name Victor.

The name hadn't changed in ten years. It was seared into every choice he had made and etched into the walls of his nightmares. It all came down to him, every muscle he had worked out, every bullet he had loaded.

"Where is he?" With a voice like steel scraped over gravel, Cain inquired.

"You believe I am aware? Nobody is aware of Victor's location! Man, he's a ghost. Everything is moved from the shadows by him. Victor is not found by you.

He locates you.

Cain moved forward and lightly poked a blade into Alvarez's thigh, reminding him that the boundary between pain and panic was actually quite thin.

You are employed by his inner ring. Someone must be aware of his next location. Alvarez let out a whine.

"A party is taking place.

A celebration of shipment. In three nights, only high rollers. Everything that comes into contact with Victor's network: girls, guns, drugs. It will be there if he surfaces anyplace.

Cain's face was inches from Alvarez's as he leaned in. "Place."

Port Seraph. Naval yard abandoned. It's an invite-only, underground party, disguised.

Cain smiled thinly. "I've received an invitation already." The man in the mirror had changed. Examining the marks and bruises from the ambush, Cain stood shirtless, his scarred muscles straining.

He calmly and methodically sewed his own shoulder. No longer did pain register. Years had passed since then. He wasn't careless. He was a target for a weapon. This life wasn't meant for him.

It had forged him.

Tempered by blood and fire.

He was buried with his parents under his real name, Daniel Cross. All that was left was Cain. A specter. A single-purpose sword drawn. However, he occasionally recalled his mother's voice humming at night when the adrenaline subsided and the quiet returned during the intervals between missions.

He recalled how cozy his father's arms were. And a tiny break appeared in the ice surrounding his heart. only to freeze once more when Victor crossed his mind. Kneeling next to their bodies in the snow, he had sworn. I'll go after them. I'll track him down. And when it dies, I'll show him what mercy looks like.

Somewhere, a woman watched Cain from a distance in a city illuminated by neon falsehoods and promises mixed with smoke. Her eyes followed him like a hawk across the crowd as she leaned against the bar, her red lips encircling a glass of whiskey.

Aria Vale was her name, and her being here was not coincidental. For weeks, she had been pursuing him. Silently. With caution.

Victor wanted Cain dead, not alive, as a price. Although Aria wasn't one to take things lightly, she found this one intriguing.

Not for the cash.

However, due to the man. Cain wasn't your average merc. He was a threat. calculated. chilly. However, his movements and the eerie silence in his eyes conveyed a different message.

He wasn't murdering for fun.

He was hunting for a reason. He was unpredictable as a result.

"Target acquired," she said, inserting a chip into her ear. tracking in silence.

"Do not engage," said the crackling voice in her ear. Just observe. Report back. She smiled to herself. "We'll see." Cain unfolded an old photo back at his safehouse. faded edges. In the snow, there are three happy faces. His parents were so content and youthful. And the middle boy had no idea what was going to happen.

He followed his father's hand on his shoulder as he stood behind his mother, tracing the contours of her smile. That picture had withstood storms, shootouts, and flames better than some individuals.

He stored it inside his jacket in a secure case. Near his heart.

Gently folding the picture, he slipped it into the pocket across his chest.

Three nights

The party is three nights away. Another name on his list bled into the snow after three nights. Cain wasn't only coming to kill this time. He had a message to deliver.

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancĂ©, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancĂ© had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
