A Marked Lover Novels & Stories

she began, tapping her perfectly manicured nails on the table, "the Anderson mate mark is a bit of a double-edged sword. Blood-bound and all that. The marker would lose some bood if his feeling isnt’ reciprocated. My boy didn’t hesitate to mark you." I blinked, processing this information. She leaned forward, lowering her sunglasses, revealing eyes that sparkled with wicked amusement. "He’s in great trouble if you’re not in love with him the way he is." I sighed, pretending to be unfazed. "Really?." Lauren twirled a strand of her glossy hair, a sly smile playing on her lips. "You know, you could've made him work for it. Play hard to get." --

Mark didn’t answer. Didn’t even look at me. Queen Dena, however, looked almost offended that I was still speaking. She turned to Astrid, ignoring me entirely. “Who is this?” she asked, waving a lazy hand toward me like I was nothing more than a nuisance. “Is she related to you?” “I am her sister,” I declared, lifting my chin. “And Mark is my lover.” The room gasped. Good. “We have been together for years,” I continued. “We have kept it a secret, but now you all know. So, Mark, tell them.” I turned to him, my heart pounding. “Tell them why you are choosing her over me.”

I was thrown on the bed and he locked the door behind him. "I.... I didn't mean to say that. " I said, before he could even say anything. Without answering me first, he took off his shirt and came over me. He put my hair in a bun and touched his mark. "This mark right here says you're mine. " He said coldly. " You're not my fated mate, I know. But somehow, after I marked you, I have felt no attraction to any woman. Including Ava. I have been loyal to you both mentally and physically. Are you loyal to me? "

"So what is it and what does it do?" "It is called the Lover's mark! It works similarly to a mate mark only this one tricks the female wolf into thinking that the male that put it there is their true mate so that when it comes time for the mating and marking the female wolf will not fight and actually want to mark that male back... It can only be done by an Alpha or Beta as they are the only ones in the pack with the power, but it is rarely used as both an Alpha and Beta prefer to have their true mate by their side, as that makes them stronger. It takes time to work and he will want to touch you as much as possible, using the mark to slowly lower your defences so that he can get you to mate

"You know the rules. Contact means consequences. For both of you." I stare at the message, my jaw clenching. Marcus has been my mentor since everything changed. He's kept me alive, taught me how to control my abilities, how to channel the wolf without losing myself to it. He's saved my life more times than I can count. But he doesn't understand what it's like to be this close to her after all these years and do nothing. He doesn't understand what it's like to have your soul mate ripped away. Another text: "They're watching. If you reveal yourself, if you break protocol, they'll come for her too."

Stacy had a different taste, and he smiled. “Yeah, I ordered the large cup for you,” Zach mumbled. Stacy beamed at his sweet tone. Her smiles filled the gap for a moment. Does he really love Stacy at all? Isn’t he just trying to get rid of something he should never have done? Is he not guilty? Zach was… guilty. It was such a foreign feeling. That even if he’s guilty, he can love the one who broke him to his treasure.

Love that develops with patience and trust is far better than forcing yourself into a relationship. "It's not the worst place, and it's the only place where I can find my boyfriend because he's my mate, and he's a vampire," Mark further explained, sending chills down my spine. His boyfriend is someone he already knows, and that person happens to be his mate, who is a vampire.

"When I asked you if you wanted to bear my mark, it was because when you triggered the Lover's Fury, my mark went with it. So I wanted to know if you would still want to be my mate, should you be given the choice." I reach up to my neck and notice that Darius is right. His mark is gone. Immediately, I feel my heart shatter, knowing I did that. I would never want that. Darius sees my despair and pulls me close to him, kissing the top of my head. "Does this mean you can't mark me? That I lost that chance?" "No. I can mark you. And this time, I want it to be consensual. Just like you did with me."

For a few minutes he just lingered there by my door, hesitant, even though I’d basically dismissed him. He then dropped the silence and finally spoke. ‘I also wanted to let you know I have another proposal for you. I was thinking that after the feast this evening it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce you to a fellow wolf from the pack Starry Banes? Their pack resides not too far from ours, just at the bottom of the mountains. He’s a charming young gentlemen and his name is Milano. I’m certain you’ll like this one!’ He said, some what excitedly.

It was quiet and peaceful and full of laughter as her mother recounted all the stories about her father. "Father did that!" "Yes, your father was quite crazy. He literally jumped off his moving carriage and ran over to mine shouting, "my love, my love marry me!!' gods, you should have seen your grandfather's face. He was furious indeed, even his face and neck turned red as he glared at your father," "Then how did your father agree to the union?" Eloise whispered, lying lazily on her bed.
