Underworld: Evolution Marcus Novels & Stories

I **Deleted Marcus’s "Rights." I stripped him of his "Humanity." I turned him back into what he truly was: a line of malicious code. "NO!" Marcus screamed as his physical body began to dissolve into white pixels. "YOU CAN'T! I AM THE EXECUTIVE!" "You're a 'Legacy Bug,'" I said. Marcus vanished into a pile of grey ash. But as he disappeared, he threw his silver blade into the **Primary Cooling Vent** of the Genesis engine. --- ### The Meltdown of the Earth

"Killing you quick wouldn't settle the score for my dead brothers. I'd rather take my time breaking you. I want everyone in the underworld to see that Daniela isn't untouchable." I thrashed and writhed, but the iron found me over and over, searing my flesh until the pain choked the screams right out of my throat. After what felt like an eternity of burning, just as I was about to black out, they finally lowered me down. But I'd barely caught my breath when a sharp, stinging pain shot through my wrist. Giovanni had actually taken a knife to it, slicing it open, then shoving my hand into the sea. Blood swirled into the dark sea, staining it red.

Evan dropped the chunk of flesh he had trapped between his fangs. Marcus pulled his hand back and slammed his shifted claws straight through Evan’s chest. “If I’m dying…” He gasped. “So are you.” He struggled to pull his hand back out, but with a final wrench, Marcus stumbled back against me. He sagged against my body, Evan’s heart still clutched in his hand. Evan looked down at the hole in his chest and chuckled.

"This is real evolution!" "No," Penelope connected to his mind. "This is fear." The network touched his consciousness. Marcus screamed as memories flooded in – not just his, but everyone's. Every pain, every fear, every hope. "Stop..." he begged. "Feel it," Penelope pushed harder. "Feel what real evolution means." "The connection," Christopher added. "The unity," Ashlyn continued. "The humanity," Sarah finished. Marcus fell to his knees as the compound in his system stabilized. "Why?" he gasped.

.... (Aurora's POV) My heart completely sank. Leaping and almost bursting through my chest, for I have crossed part with the devil himself. And no, he is nothing like the tales told, he is not an ugly red man with horns but rather a beautiful man with luscious hair who can easily bewitch one with just a single stare. His golden brown eyes, which I clearly remembered changing color, shone brighter when he smiled even though I could tell those smiles were fake, all a sham to manipulate another victim....

Kayla immediately positioned herself between us, her own transformation beginning as she prepared to shift into her wolf form. "Marcus, what the hell are you?" "I'm evolution," he replied casually, as if we were discussing the weather. "I'm what happens when the old bloodlines are improved through careful application of Umbra enhancement techniques and I'm here to collect what rightfully belongs to my organization. "The buzzing under my skin reached a crescendo that was actually painful and suddenly I understood with crystal clarity what was happening. "You've been watching me. Reporting on me." "For months now, yes. Documenting your progression, waiting for the right moment when your powers

"What do you really want, Marcus? Because you know this isn't just about me. It's about the breeding program. About power. About whatever sick game you're playing." Marcus's smile widened. "Smart girl. You're right. This is about so much more than just you. Though you are the centerpiece." He lowered the gun slightly. "I've spent twenty years building something extraordinary. A program that will reshape supernatural genetics. Create a new ruling class. And you, Rielle, with your First Moon bloodline, you're essential to that vision." "I'm not breeding stock for your experiments." "Not experiments. Evolution." His eyes glittered with fanaticism. "Imagine it. Werewolves with lycan strength. Ly

"Markus, my love, you are my great love, I love you with my soul, but it scares me so much to see you as you are now, besides I don't understand how I could be yours while you are turned into a lycanthrope." Markus moved his head stealthily, at the same time he was sniffing her, his big claws started to caress Sarah's legs, she was barely shivering, it was unbelievable that Markus was going to make her his like that, it would be something completely catastrophic for her. "This is the best way to make you mine Sarah, I can possess you in a natural way, I am the great and royal Markus Blackwood, and I want to put my child in your womb, then I don't want you to put up any opposition, you have d

"And I suspect my daughter knows exactly where that amplifier is." Charlotte struggles to her feet. The Bloodmoon Alpha moves to stand beside her, radiating a protective heat that smells of wet dog and defiance. "What are you?" Charlotte asks. Her voice is shaking, but her eyes are hard. She isn't buying the maternal act. I didn’t really expect her to after the palaver with her brat. "I am the evolution of this pack," I say, stepping up to Marcus. I brush a strand of gray hair from his forehead. He flinches, his skin crawling under my touch.

Noah’s long body draped over him, his bare chest pressing flat against Marcus’s broad, solid shoulders. “Hold on to me,” Marcus ordered, his big muscles bunching and straining under his dark shirt as he took off into a sprint. He didn’t run like a normal human. He was a trained vampire killer, moving with a terrifying, heavy speed that sent chunks of dirt flying behind them as they plunged deeper into the dark, tangled forest. Behind them, Jaxon let out a loud, angry roar. “Get them! Don’t let the hybrid leave these woods alive!”
