A Vampire's Mark
Aria Bennett thought she was just an ordinary college girl—until one reckless dare changed her life forever.
Beneath the abandoned crypt of her university, she awakens Lucian D’Arcanis, an ancient vampire cursed into eternal slumber. The moment her blood touches his coffin, she is marked, her soul bound to his, her body craving a darkness she doesn’t understand.
Now Aria is trapped between worlds.
The Hunters, sworn to kill vampires, warn her that Lucian will destroy her.
Lucian, ruthless and mesmerizing, swears she belongs to him and will never escape.
And her own bloodline, tied to witches and curses, holds secrets powerful enough to either save her… or doom them all.
Every heartbeat drags her deeper into a dangerous obsession. Every kiss burns hotter than fire. And every choice could mean the difference between survival and eternal damnation.
She wanted a normal life.
Instead, she’s the key to an ancient war… and the unwilling bride of the most dangerous vampire alive.
Will she destroy him, or surrender to the mark that makes her his forever

Chapter: Bloodline. Back at his house, in my room, my mind raced with thoughts. Did they just plan to kill me? Was Lucian trustworthy? I'm I truly his destiny? I lay down on my bed, with a plan already strategized on how I was going to escape back to school the next thing tomorrow morning. As the night went on, it carried me with it. Deep into the night, it became cold, the world so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and the moon above was casting its beautiful light upon the world. My eyelids grew heavy, not from sleep, but from something deeper. Colors shifted, my dream completely dark, and my dreams began to feel real. Now I wasn't asleep, yet I wasn't awake either. I was caught somewhere in between, a place where time seemed to slow down. Colors crawled back in, and I saw myself in a garden, in a plain white gown, like I was some psychiatric patient waiting to be compelled by the nurses. It was heavily beautified with flowers of different kinds and species, big and small, grown and sprouting on

Chapter: Am I A Threat? The stranger's hands pressed strongly on my throat, sucking up all the air at that point, and I struggled for my life. With a push, Lucian sends her flying into a tree as he helps me up. Is this how my life will be now? Random fights, terrifying strangers and unknown attacks. I am not ready for this. “Who do you think you are to be one of us?” one among Lucian's kind snaps as they circle us. “It's been a long time, old friends, bet you missed me.” Lucian scoffs with an evil smirk, pulling me into his embrace. “You disappeared, left us all, and you come back and try to break a law of the vampires.” The vampires flare up, shining their fangs. “Seems like whoever told the story decided to leave it half-baked.” Lucian marches up to them, leaving me in the open space. “I don't leave my own in time of need, but how could I protect the whole clan when I was harmed myself?” Shock spreads across their faces, and as Lucian said, the story wasn't fully told. “You were harmed?” Another lady

Chapter: Under Control. He let out a growl, one mixed with pain and pleasure as my fangs dug into his skin. He did not oppose; he let me. I couldn't continue like this, it was embarrassing, draining and also a threat to lives, and I was not ready to be the cause of someone's death. Night falls, and I lie on the cushion half-conscious. My eyes were twitching, trying to see the world, but it stayed blurry. Then I heard Lucian’s footsteps towards me. Planting his hand at the back of my head as support, he raised my head and gave me something to drink. “It's a syrup, don't worry you will be fine.” He strode off as I kissed goodbye to the night, letting darkness take over. ****It was already morning, and I could hear the birds chirping and feel the soft morning breeze against my skin. It has been two days now and I haven't set my eyes on my school building. I wasn't sure I wanted to go back either because the whole school probably knows I'm a monster now. “Morning.” I heard his voice from the kitchen counter

Chapter: Ambush. We paused in shock, eyes drifting to the door as I saw familiar figures—Hunters pointing at me. How did they find us? Do they ever rest? “Capture her but avoid harming her, and as for him,” she paused, eyes on Lucian. “Kill him,” she ordered. Her voice and mask were familiar. I bet I knew her from somewhere. Lucian guided me behind him, so close that I could feel the warmth of his body. Eyes still on the Hunters, thirsty for a fight as if he had been waiting for this day. “Hide beneath those tables and don't try anything stupid. They can't take you on my watch.” My breath caught in the air, his voice filled with assurance like I was his responsibility. “She stays with me.” He snapped with a loud growl towards the Hunters. “I can't assure you that,” one among the Hunters scoffed. They spread into a circle, positioning themselves to take action. Still behind him, the first bolt flew; he caught it midair, destroying it between his fingers before he yelled at me, “Go now!” I ran, tak

Chapter: This Cannot Be Me! In tragedy of what has just happened. Jenna stood before me with her flash on and who knows for how long she has been filming for. “Jenna? How long have you been here?” my voice trembling in fear because I know how big of a villain Jenna could be and if she releases my video, It's the end for me.“Long enough to see you turn to a beast.” she replied as confident as possible. Yet her hands trembled, her eyes screamed “run” but she played the ‘I'm not afraid card’. What was she thinking that I would drink from her too? To be honest,I could drink off her. I was not content. I just stopped drinking from Ethan because I was afraid he might die but regardless I was not still full, I needed more blood. “Please Jenna, I know what you are about to do with that video but please do not.” I pleaded with her. “Or else what? You would drink off me like you just did to your best friend?” her words stung. I felt so bad for drinking from Ethan but after all it wasn't really my fault I was going fe

Chapter: Thirst For Blood. In a twinkle of an eye, Lucian hands swipes my legs off the ground with his hands supporting my back as he carries me like the prince did to Cinderella, his gaze intense and giving “hold me tight.” look, he zooms off. He navigates paths so fast in darkness, swiping through leaves and branches. The figures— attackers are equally fast but not as fast as Lucian. Knives and arrows are sent towards him but he ducks them as if he knew their target. “Hold tight Aria, I'm taking a big jump.” He warns beforehand. Being chased by unknown figures in the dark, while being in the hands of an ancient Vampire was not in my bingo card for this sophomore year but here we are. My life was literally a movie. His warning barely escaped his lips before he moved, one powerful leap that separated us from the ground. My stomach dropped, the world spinning beneath us, and fear grasped me.But his arms were iron like around me, unyielding, safe. Terrifying as it was, I knew nothing could touch me while I wa
