All Chapters of Venom's Plaything - A Dark MC Shifter Romance: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The transformation hit Venom and every muscle fiber stretched and reformed as his wolf finally broke free from the chemical restraints which had suppressed it for weeks. His vision sharpened to supernatural clarity, and his sense of smell exploded with information about the enhanced soldiers now flooding his compound.They reeked of artificial enhancement. Thechemicals and steroids that masked their natural human scent with something metallic and wrong. Venom burst through the compound's main doors in full wolf form, his massive frame dwarfing even the largest enhanced soldier. His first target barely had time to register the threat before razor-sharp claws tore through reinforced body armor like tissue paper.."North wall is holding, barely. We've lost three pack members, injured, not dead, but these enhanced soldiers are pushing us back faster than anticipated." Ghost’s voice came through the Comms. “Good,” Venom said into his comm, his voice distorted by the partial transform

It has been three weeks since the attack on the compound, and The Reapers had wisely used the time to rebuild stronger than before. Venom stood in Godfather Marco's old office, which was now officially his, reviewing intelligence reports from around the world. Kozlov's organization was vast. They had facilities in Eastern Europe, South America, and Southeast Asia, all conducting research into genetic enhancement and supernatural abilities."We've confirmed three more locations," Hacker reported as he stepped into the room with his laptop and a steaming cup of coffee. "But boss, the scope of this operation... it's bigger than anything we've faced before.""Then we get bigger too," Venom replied as he studied a satellite imagery of a facility in Romania. "Any word from Rica and Rico?""They've gone completely underground. They got new identities and relocated to Canada. But they left us detailed information about Kozlov's financial networks before disappearing."A soft knock interrupt

The compound was now a war zone.Venom crouched behind an overturned medical cart in the research lab's outer corridor, listening to every sound of battle echoing through their home. Gunfire. Explosions. The distinctive roar of shifters in combat. And underneath it all, the methodical advance of Kozlov's enhanced soldiers."Ghost, report," he spoke into his comm, never taking his eyes off Velia as she worked frantically at her lab bench twenty feet away.Static. Then Ghost's voice came through, strained with pain: "The North wing is compromised. Butcher's pinned down in the armory. These bastards – " Her transmission cut off in a burst of gunfire.Venom's protective instincts screamed at him to spread his forces efficiently and coordinate the defense from multiple positions but no matter what, he would not leave Velia's side. "Boss," Stalker's voice came through the comm, "we need you coordinating from the command center. I can protect –""No." Venom's response was flat, final. His

"Before we proceed with combat," Kane said he as he stepped forward with his journal and what appeared to be a medical kit, "I must conduct a thorough examination of both combatants to ensure fairness."Venom's eyes narrowed. "What kind of examination?""Standard biological assessment. We need to check height, weight, muscle density, reflexes." Kane said but his gaze lingered on Velia as he spoke. "We need to confirm that Miss Argento hasn't undergone any enhancement procedures that might give her... insights into countering our champion's abilities.""She's not fighting. I am." Venom snapped."Ah, but she's your mate, isn't she?" Kane pulled out a measuring tape and something in the shape of calipers. "In supernatural physiology, mates share certain... connections. Her genetic markers could influence your performance parameters."Everyone present knew that the explanation was scientific nonsense. Moreso, Kane’s eager expression and the way his hands trembled slightly as he arranged

For two weeks, the compound saw relative peace. Construction crews worked around the clock to repair the damage from Kozlov's assault, while new security systems were installed to prevent future infiltrations. The pack had emerged stronger after the combat. Not only were they more united now, but their confidence in their Alpha's leadership was now renewed by his victory over the enhanced champion.As for Velia, she felt no peace.She stood at the window of her rebuilt laboratory, watching the morning sun cast long shadows across the courtyard where Venom had fought for their lives. The physical wounds from that battle had healed, but something else lingered.For some reason, she could not shake away the persistent feeling that she was being observed."Another delivery," Star announced, entering the lab with a small bouquet of purple orchids. "Found them outside your door this morning. No card again."“Again?” Velia frowned as she accepted the flowers reluctantly. This was the fi
