Marauders Era Novels & Stories

They were merely cogs in a wheel. When Mara neared the market’s edge, she stole one last glance backward, her lips tightening. To top it all off, she could see pieces of the confusion and terror which had struck the survivors — those who hadn’t made it out before the end — etched on their faces. Some of them were already assisting the wounded, attempting to establish some semblance of order, but it was too late. The damage had been done. And Mara had only just begun. Walking through the empty streets with her cloak billowing behind her, her mind raced with plans. She had made her statement; now she would have to maintain the momentum. No more hiding. Waiting in the shadows is over. The witch

“I don't think Rune’s a complete monster. Broken? Yes, and maybe a little insane. But I just wanted to talk before this turned into a battle that'd inadvertently claim innocent lives and leave many wounded and mourning.” “You seem very touchy about battles and clashes,” Raven noted with a dryness that sounded forced. “I am,” I sighed. “The last battle we had before I put up the wards, was with an alliance of sorcerers and the cold ones. They plundered half of my pack and my men, you know Mara?” I didn't wait for her answer before continuing. “Mara lost her four sons and husband that day, all she has now are her two daughter in law's and two grand-daughters.”

Mj pushed Mara at arms length but didn't let go of her “what's wrong Mara?” Mara opened her bottle and took a long drink before handing it to Mj who did the same. The two girls slid to the floor at the same time leaning against the bed. “Tanner is my mate” Mara almost whispered, Mj took the bottle and gulped down more of the spicy brown liquid, “Why don't you sound happy?” Mj asked as she passed the bottle back to Mara “He’s the brother of an Alpha Moll,” Mara explained “he lives in a pack and he’s a damn hunter so it's not like I could convince him to leave with me-” Mara clapped a hand over her mouth as she passed the bottle back to Mj who laughed low in her throat before she took anothe

The she-wolf stumbled backwards and fell to the dirt, Mj immediately advanced and as Mara put her hand up in surrender Mj took hold of her wrist and hauled her from the floor. For the next twenty-five minutes, Mj and Mara went around and around doing the same things, Mj would slap or trip Mara causing the woman to fall into the dust and Mara would continue to tell her she didn’t want to talk about it until Mara finally hit her boiling point. Mara’s knees and rear end were sore from landing on them repeatedly and her lip had been busted open from Mj’s relentless backhands to the face, so as Mj raised her hand to swing again Mara ducked low and swept the hunters legs out from under her. Mj hit

Morgott smiled and said, “I can now go all out. It’s time to show my strength.” “What do you mean you can go all out?” James got up and patted him on the shoulder. “The was has been ceased. Your task has been completed.” Then, while Morgott was confused, James turned to look at Marius and Hankin. “You two, please guard this area. We have to meet our allies.” After that, he flew over to Marius with the secondary Marauder token. “You and Xalvador will control the Marauder Army of One Hundred Thousand Warriors, including the Alcide beings and living beings here. When in doubt, you three can make the decision.”

And together… we were unstoppable. As the night stretched into a tense vigil, I realized one thing with absolute certainty: the rogue’s return was only the beginning. Her shadow hung over the Crescent pack, a storm waiting to erupt, and when it did… we would be ready. And I, Mara, bonded to Dresden, wolf and human united, would face whatever came with fire in my veins, claws ready, and heart unbroken. The rogue had shown us a glimpse of the chaos to come… and next time, we would not be caught unprepared.

"Moretti sends his regards. And a reminder that anyone who attacks his assets faces consequences." The specialists tried to regroup, to defend against this new threat. But they were caught between us and Mara's force. The fighting became chaos. Rogues and specialists clashing with brutal efficiency. My grandmother and I taking advantage of the confusion to press our attack. Mara coordinating her forces with professional precision. Hawthorne tried to call retreat, but half his specialists were already down. The others fought desperately to disengage and escape. Within minutes, it was over. The specialists either dead or fled. The factory floor covered in blood and bodies. Victory snatched fro

“Double-check formation lines! Healers with runners—no one moves until signal!” Mara strode past with a half-buckled cloak, her copper hair tied high, eyes gleaming with something close to exhilaration. She caught my wrist briefly. “You look ready,” she said. “You think I have a choice?” A sharp grin. “You always did better with a chase.” I snorted softly. “You sound far too eager for someone about to wade into war.” “Eager?” she shrugged. “No. But I like knowing the bastards who hurt her are about to pay.”

It was the first morning of the Era of the Awakening. The pack stood together - the werewolves, the vampire, the doctor, and the artist. They were the most famous beings on Earth, and yet, they were more vulnerable than ever. The world was now aware of them, and with awareness would come fear, fascination, and a thousand new conflicts. "What now, Alpha?" Marrow asked, his hand resting on the hilt of his weapon as the first news drones began to circle overhead. Xander looked at Evangeline. Her "True Sight" was fading, returning her to the mundane world, but the bond between them was stronger than ever - a golden thread that anchored them to this new, chaotic reality.

The medieval soldiers had no answer to the sheer precision and firepower of Aeternum’s forces. Mara herself waded into battle, her customized combat knife flashing under the moonlight as she weaved between enemies, cutting them down with ruthless efficiency. One particularly bold knight charged her, raising a massive great sword above his head. Mara sidestepped effortlessly, firing a single suppressed round into his unarmored knee before finishing him off with a clean strike to the throat. "They don’t stand a chance," chuckled Corporal Darius, reloading his rifle as another wave of enemies stumbled into their kill zone.
