Shay Marken Marvel Novels & Stories

Purpose. I reached for the paper and flattened it beside Kael’s earliest memo on the corkboard behind my desk. My hands were still shaking as I picked up the red marker and drew a hard line between them. One name. One face. One tangled lie. Kael Marell Avenhart. I took a step back, standing side by side with Lucien in the warm, flickering light of the dorm. Our shoulders were nearly brushing against each other, and there was this electric tension in the air that made it hard to focus on anything else.

I felt relieved he had come and also apprehensive when I watched him fight. After making sure Diane was okay, Mason hurried over to my side. He reached for me, trying to check if I was okay. But the moment his hands touched me, pain slammed through him. He doubled over before trying to stabilize himself. Henry's pack soon noticed I was alone with Mason and surrounded me. "You... You are Marked!" Mason said in horror.

“Ashen would never do that. He's probably sleeping or something.“ No answer. Just gasps echoing through the room. The guard wasn't done yet. He stepped closer to Knox and handed him a paper. “He left a letter behind.“ Knox's eyes was buried into the letter and after a moment, he raised his head, eyes blazing. “See, Ashen already confessed to the affair. He wrote that he committed suicide out of guilt.“ My world dashed away. Ashen is dead. And he confessed to an affair that never happened. Why does everything feel like someone was out there to ruin my life. “Ashennnnnn,” I screamed, mourning my best friend. The memories of the years spent together clawed at me.

Mara Vance. Who the hell are you? I’ve been in business long enough to know people wear masks. Boardrooms are theaters, and everyone plays a role. But with her, the mask doesn’t just hide, it bleeds. She carries her secrets like armor, but sometimes, when she forgets to guard herself, I catch flickers of something raw underneath. And those flickers… they undo me. The intercom buzzed. My assistant’s clipped voice filled the silence. “Mr. Cole, Kingston Shaw is requesting an audience. Should I send him up?”

"Ask the Grand Luna why Julian was really here. Ask her why the Mark only appeared after he made contact with the estate!" ​Silas tilted his head, his interest finally piqued. He looked from Elena to the Grand Luna, a slow, predatory smile spreading across his face. "Now, that is an interesting thought. I was under the impression the Mark was a divine lineage trait. Are you suggesting there’s... foul play involved?" ​"I'm suggesting," Elena gasped, clutching her stomach as she leaned against the doorframe, "that the Mark isn't a blessing. It’s a curse. And Julian wasn't trying to steal it, he was trying to use it for himself."

Kayden says. "I know! But the cost is a little too much! I love Tony Stark!" I tell him. "I know that Tony Stark is one of a kind but he died a hero. Don't you remember E.D.I.T.H.? Tony will be remembered forever. He will live forever in everyone's hearts." Kayden says. "I know but-" I stop middle sentence as realization hits me. My eyes grow wide as I stare at Kayden. "You're a Marvel fan!" I state rather than ask.

Shanzy stepped to the front blabbering whatever shit she could get out her throat. Simone turned around to only murder her with her one look. Ashton who was more confused than before, blasted finally, "Why in the world are you people confusing me more than I am already? And what in the world are you all to appear out of nowhere? And dare you to say that you guys are playing Fantastic Fours, Human Torch; Johnny Storm and Invisible Women; Susan Storm?" "Omg! Sir, are you Chris Evan's fan? Please, can you get me his autograph?" Shanzy who was crazy for the Hollywood Superstar became excited suddenly.

Shay answered still feeling the softness of his hands. "Can I have my hands back please?" He ordered "Huh? Oh right I'm so sorry ..... She pause " what your name sir?" She asked "Mr Hyin, it was on the card" he replied bothered. "Ok nice meeting you Mr Hyin" she said "8:30am tomorrow" he replied opening back his laptop. Shay gave a nodd then walked out, she spun her hands back on forth remembering the softness of his hands. *

Rey stopped the boring conversation. "Papa, have you heard about Marvel?" asked Rey, and instantly Rendi's face stiffened. "Marvel is Ryan Atmadja's son, right? The former was Keysha's future husband, and was it an accident?" Rendi asked Rendi to make sure again. Yes, Pa, who else if not Marvel Atmadja? What's the news?" Ellen actually joined in on the conversation between Rey and Rendi. "Marvel has been found," Rey replied, immediately making Rendi's expression change.
