Curse Mark Anko Novels & Stories

And if he’s showing much interest in the kid, it can never be good. “what do you want Cedric?” I repeated, sharper this time. He leaned forward, his expression turning serious. “The council. They demand that you complete the marking before the next full moon. They would like to proceed with the Luna crowning ceremony.” I let out a bitter laugh. “You people just can’t stay away from my business, can you?” He shrugged. “Tell them,” I said, voice cold, sharp as a blade, “there will be no marking. No Luna crowning ceremony. And if any of those old hags so much as step foot in my pack…”

“Then make it exist. You’ve carried us this far, through betrayal, through blood. Don’t stop now.” A long silence settled between them, filled only by rain. Down in the square, the remnants of their pack gathered, their howls echoing faintly through the night, low, grieving tones that carried loss and loyalty in equal measure. Nora looked down at her hands. The marks had deepened, darker veins of light running beneath her skin, pulsing with strange energy. The Mark of the Bridge. Once a curse. Now… a living thing. “What if this isn’t power, Roman?” she murmured. “What if it’s punishment?”

Her mother Mariseth now regarded her as a thorn she couldn’t pluck, while Ravena looked at her like a rival to be crushed. That morning, Liora sat alone in the garden, staring at her reflection in the pond. The surface rippled faintly with the breeze, distorting the image of her pale face. Her fingers brushed against the strange birthmark just beneath her collarbone, its faint silvery glow hidden beneath her dress. What does this mark even mean? Why was I cursed with it? she thought bitterly. She drew her knees up to her chest, wishing the world would simply forget she existed. The sound of footsteps broke her solitude. Her body stiffened before she heard his voice.

“How did you get this?” “I’ve…always had it,” I said breathlessly, my excitement growing. “This is the mark of an ancient coven. Of Jerusalem. A secret coven, one of extreme power. One rumored to have relations with…wolves. And rumored to not even exist. How do you own this?” I felt my heart pounding. “I….don’t know. I was told it was my father’s. I…hadn’t even thought of it.” He turned it over gently, looking at the back. His eyes opened wide.

Calantha worried, she said "Then I just leave it like this, don’t I?" Mary comforted, “Don't worry. Wait for another month and the signs will disappear completely. S-rank alphas can store temporary marks for up to a month, but low-grade alphas' marks only last for a maximum of half a month. I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky. And if you want to cover it, it's simple. In this era, science and technology have advanced. You just need to stick the patch, spray the antiperspirant on the Pheromones, then put on your incense bag and then you can go to work as usual. And be careful , okay."

I took a step back, and cradled my throbbing cheek, caught off guard from the sudden movement. "What was that for?" I asked. "I told you once, and I'll tell you again. Stay away. I'm not a mark, nor a notch on your bedpost. So get it through that dense skull of yours. I will never be yours, not now, or ever. So go back to whatever hole it was you crawled out of, and leave me the hell alone." She snapped at me. She quickly grabbed my waiting drink from the counter and downed it one gulp, slamming the glass on the counter as she spun away and walked to a waiting Zach.

"You are Mine" He murmured across my skin. He inhaled my scent deeply and kissed the mark he gave me. I shuddered as he lightly nipped it. "Kirsten, you are mine and only mine, you understand?" Kirsten Saunders had a pretty rough life. After being heartbroken and betrayed by both her father and boyfriend, Kirsten moves to a small town to find the comfort of her mother.

“Let’s eat outside.” Kenji didn’t wait for her approval. He took Akiko’s box of curry rice and carried it outside. That way, Akiko had no choice but to follow him. They sat as usual at the dining table, but the aroma of the curry clearly made a difference—at least for Akiko. The memories made her feel calmer. She wasn’t as fearful as she had been in this house for so long. “Tonkatsu.” Kenji opened another package that he'd left in the room earlier. It contained tonkatsu (breaded and fried pork cutlets). Another one of Akiko's favorites—Kenji's choices were never wrong.

Branded. Take that, Mark
