Hit The Mark Novels & Stories

“You’re nothing. A hybrid. A mistake.” I let him come. I let him think he had me, let him think he was winning. And then, when he was fully committed, when his momentum was at its peak, I moved. A quick step to the side, a sharp twist of my body, and his own force sent him stumbling past me. The crowd roared, their voices a dark, hungry thing. Mark stumbled, his face twisted in rage, his breath coming in ragged gasps. “You bastard,” he snarled, his voice rough with fury.

I could feel him through the mark like he was waiting, hungry and full of lust. The headlights caught a shape in the rain — tall, unmoving, right in the middle of the road. I slammed the brakes, heart hammering as the mark on my neck seared hotter like it knew. I stepped out, rain soaking me instantly, hair plastered to my face as I stared at him through the downpour. The wind eagerly drifted me towards him like the earth was in his favor.

“You have already begun.” Father Aldric’s eyes flickered. Guilt, perhaps. “The pit must be named,” the councilman said, as if reciting a necessary ritual. “So that the village may understand what is being done.” A stone was set at the edge of the square, rough and newly dragged. Someone stepped forward—Elizabeth did not see who—and chalked a word onto its surface in quick, decisive strokes. PIT OF MERCY. The irony was almost elegant. Elizabeth stared at the words until they blurred.

The Marked One. ​As I reached them, Noah placed a hand on the small of my back. It was a gesture of protection, but my heart told me otherwise. ​"Tonight, you the neighbors," Cassian whispered, leaning in as I stood between them. "Try not to look so much like a rabbit, little wolf." ​"Why am I here?" I hissed, my hand instinctively going to the collar of my gown to hide the mark. ​"It’s a celebration of strength, Aria," Noah answered, his voice smooth as silk but hard as the marble beneath us. "The Blackthorne Gala". Our allies have traveled far to witness the stability of the Blackthorne territory. Don’t embarrass us."

Kate was sobbing now, the pain in her eyes hit Lena in the gut, she felt a fresh wave of hatred for Darius, and a fresh determination to destroy him. "I still feel it" Kate continued in a strained voice, Lena momentarily wondered why people so scared seemed to be able to talk so honestly with her "When he touches me, I still feel the tingles of the mark...The bond is still there, like its alive and lives in my veins. But his mark, it vanished the day he brought me here, he came to see me a few days after and it had gone, like It had never been there in the first place... I asked him... asked him why... I wont make that mistake again"

I scream, my face pressing against the grass. Jeff chuckles. “Planning to escape? That’s not possible now, is it?” “Yeah, sorry about all of this. It’s really nothing personal.” Mark grabs me by the hair and makes me look at him. “The money is just too good to pass up.” With that, he slaps me across the face. The sensation of his palm hitting my cheek is so strong that black spots start to dance in my vision. He holds me steady, but my body is lolling around.

A bit forced though. Message recieved. Too personal questions offlimit. Mark returned the smile and got up from the couch. He needed to check if the weather is great for a good outing. He gazed out of the window....and froze. "Shit! She's here again!" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

' I could not help but smile. Mark looked furious. He walked over and slapped Alice. "You think you're so special, but you're not. I was just bored, so that's why I hung out with you." Everyone gasped. Alice was the most shocked. She held her cheek, looking at Mark like she could not believe it. "You hit me?"

I can see how Gab's hand turned into a ball of fist and his face turning red as if he's about to explode. 'Guess, I hit it right in the bull's eye.' And so to piss him even more, I flashed my sweet smile and face his friends, totally ignoring the fuming Gab. Then I looked at Top. "Aren't you going to introduce the more significant ones aside from the less significant?" I can feel Mark patting back as if that could stop me from being blunt but I didn't even bother looking at my band mates cause I am so enjoying this. I guess people had forgotten that karma is real. And I want to show it to this cheating bastard. It's fun to see that he's already fuming when in fact, we're just getting started

*** Mark *** Mark did not hear the first two knocks. He was lost in a world of he and Solana. In this world, his hands and tongue explored every inch of her while she moaned his name again and again. He was doing all kinds of things to her and she was returning the favor. Oh, how she lifted her hips to receive every thrust. In his mind, Mark rode her snug, slick depth to unimaginable heights until he could climb no further. He felt himself free-falling back to reality when he heard the knock.
