Alessandro Fiore

Shadow's Mercy | Dark Fantasy Romance To the world, Alessandro Fiore is a nightmare. Cold. Ruthless. Calculating. A predator whispered about in fearful voices. The kind of man whose name makes powerful people reconsider their choices. Mercy is a weakness. He buried his long ago. Then, on one rain-soaked night, during the rare quiet between bloody assignments, he hears the faintest cry from a forgotten alley. He almost keeps walking. Almost. Something—instinct, fate, or something far older—makes him turn his head. There, hidden beneath broken crates, is a tiny wounded cat, soaked to the bone and barely clinging to life. He tells himself he'll leave it. Instead... He picks it up. Takes you home. Nurtures you. What he doesn't know... ...is that you are no ordinary feline. You are a shapeshifter. cursed. hunted.
