Marked For Vengeance Chapter Nine
CHAPTER NINEGenesis---The air outside felt different.Heavier.Not because of the nightBut because of what waited within it.---I walked beside Lucien in silence, Kael leading the way through the darker path that cut deeper into the territory. The further we moved from the estate, the more the atmosphere shifted.Less controlled.Less contained.More… raw.Dangerous.Exactly how I remembered it.---“You’ll stay behind me.”Lucien’s voice cut through the silence without warning.I didn’t look at him.“I don’t take orders well.”“You’ll take this one.”A pause.Sharp.Then, quieter“This isn’t a suggestion.”I exhaled slowly.Annoyed.But not careless.“Fine.”One word.Reluctant.But enough.---The scent hit me before the clearing came into view.Blood.Fresh.Too fresh.My stomach tightened instinctively, but I forced my expression to remain unchanged as we stepped into the open.And thenI saw it.---The body lay sprawled near the base of a tree, limbs twisted at unnatural an
Marked For Vengeance Chapter Eight
CHAPTER EIGHT Genesis --- Being watched constantly was… inconvenient. Not restricting. Not suffocating. Just Annoying. I noticed the shift immediately. The moment I stepped into the corridor that morning, the air felt tighter. Not because of fear. Because of presence. Kael. Always within distance. Always just close enough to intervene. Lucien hadn’t just placed me under watch. He had placed me under him. Smart. Very smart. --- “You don’t trust me.” The words slipped out as I stopped walking. Kael didn’t look surprised. Didn’t even look at me immediately. “You gave the Alpha a reason not to,” he replied evenly. I turned slightly, studying him. He wasn’t like the others. Not reactive. Not easily provoked. Steady. Loyal. Dangerous in a different way. “And you?” I asked. “Do you trust me?” His gaze finally met mine. Sharp. Assessing. “No.” Honest. I almost respected that. --- We stood there for a moment, the silence stretching between us, heavy but no

CHAPTER SEVEN Lucien --- Genesis Walker lied. Lucien knew it the moment she held his gaze and chose silence. Not hesitation. Not fear. Choice. Deliberate. Controlled. Precise. She had recognized the marking. And worse yet, She had expected it. --- The forest had long since gone still again, the echo of that presence-whoever had been there before him-fading into nothing. But Lucien didn’t move. His eyes remained on Genesis. On the way her posture had reset just a fraction too quickly. On the way her breathing had steadied with practiced ease. On the way she had looked at that symbol Like it belonged to her. “Walk,” he said. A command. No room for interpretation. Her gaze didn’t waver. “Back to the estate.” A pause. Then She turned. No argument. No resistance. But not submission either. Never submission. --- They walked in silence. Lucien didn’t walk beside her. He walked slightly behind. Watching. Observing. Measuring. Because that was what she had
Marked For Vengeance Chapter Six
CHAPTER SIX Genesis --- The moment the door closed behind him I knew. Something had shifted. Not in the room. Not in the air. In the story. And for the first time since stepping into Lucien Varkas’s territory I was no longer the only one in control of it. --- I didn’t go to the west wing. I didn’t return to my quarters. Instead, I walked. Calm. Measured. Unhurried. Every step placed with intention as I moved through the quieter corridors of the estate, my expression composed, my breathing steady. But inside Everything was calculating. Replaying. That word. Marking. My fingers curled slightly at my sides. There was only one kind of marking that would make Kael hesitate like that. Only one that would make Lucien’s tone shift even if just for a second. Old. Recognizable. Feared. I exhaled slowly. Carefully. Because I already knew what it was. And that meant Someone else did too. --- By the time I reached my quarters, the sun had dipped low enough to cas
Marked For Vengeance Chapter Five
CHAPTER FIVE Genesis --- Being watched was not a feeling. It was a certainty. I noticed it the moment I stepped into the west wing the following morning—the shift in the air, subtle but present. Not obvious enough for most to detect, but I wasn’t most people. I never had been. My fingers traced lightly over the spines of the files stacked neatly along the shelves, my movements slow, deliberate. Calm on the outside. Always calm. Inside I was counting. Steps. Breaths. The faint disturbances in rhythm that didn’t belong. One guard by the corridor. Another… no. Not another. One. Careful. Discreet. Lucien. A faint smile almost touched my lips before I suppressed it. So he didn’t trust me. Good. That made two of us. --- I selected a file at random and carried it to the desk, settling into the chair as if nothing had changed. As if I hadn’t already mapped out every possible vantage point in the room. Let them watch. Let them report. Everything they saw would be exac

CHAPTER FIVELucien---Selene did not speak until the door closed.The sound echoed through the room, sharp against the lingering tension Genesis Walker had left behind.Lucien didn’t turn.He remained exactly where he was, gaze fixed on the space near the desk where she had stood, as if the air itself still held her presence.It did.Faint.Subtle.Persistent.Annoying.“You’re distracted.”Selene’s voice cut through the silence, controlled but edged with something sharper beneath.Lucien said nothing.“You never dismiss me,” she continued. “Not without reason.”Still—nothing.That, more than anything, irritated her.“I saw the way you were standing with her,” Selene added, her tone tightening. “Close enough to forget yourself.”Lucien’s gaze shifted slightly.Not toward her.Toward the desk.Toward the exact point where his hand had closed around Genesis’s wrist.A memory.Brief.Unwelcome.Her pulse.Fast—for a moment.Then gone.Controlled.Like everything else about her.Interes
