X Gene Novels & Stories

Now, over five hundred prisoners have offered to be part of the study. The participants were divided into two groups: violent offenders and serial killers. All had the confirmed genetics of the MAOA warrior genes. The genes we learned were on the X chromosome, which explained why mostly males carried the traits. Male sex chromosomes are XY, while females have XX. Oddly enough, this means that the trait is given to a son by his mother. The antisocial behaviors are displayed even in childhood, especially when there is maltreatment or trauma present. All aggressive and violent animals were permanently suppressed in Dr. Sawyer’s animal trials, increasing the serum’s confidence and hope.

The large lonely mansion which oozed nothing but affluence did not only house these money making halls but also had rooms above which caged workers who made this money and the bosses who ruled over them. The workers were members of X-habit, a crime conglomerate whose activities were no lesser than running guns, doing drugs and the like. The Big Four: Steven Chase, Baron Sage, Iphan Carter and Kane Richmond bossed over the conglomerate, with Steven as the head, more of a Godfather.

Unlike someone, she didn't come with a technical list of questions to interrogate him. "I do not have a favourite colour." Xander simply says which was a cue for Cara to roll her eyes at his reply as she digs into the slice of cheesecake in front of her. "Your genotype," He asks. "AA," Cara answers with her mouth full of cheesecake. Xander suppresses the urge to say something hurtful by looking down at his list of questions. "But I am sure you can get the answer from your doctor since she took my blood," Cara says.

And if the European Council decided to take further action once they learned what he'd done he might have to. "Mind you, I am not a geneticist, but I have consulted with your own Council Member Xylon Lukos. The panther genes have been transmitted female to female on the "X" chromosome. They apparently have to match with a Werewolf "X" chromosome in order to be active. Since the males only have one "X", it deactivates the panther genes and they cannot be passed on by his descendents. So only direct female line descendents will carry the panther characteristics." Jeff nodded his head, remembering back to genetics classes in medical school. The rest appeared lost.

"The genealogy Marcus kept. It showed four generations. But I only photographed the page with Samuel's name. There were other pages. Other branches. Other—" My phone rang. Still somehow in my pocket despite being arrested. Still somehow working despite federal jammers. X's technology bypassing everything. I answered before Chen could stop me. "Very clever," X said. "Identifying my speech patterns. Deducing family connection. You are smarter than Marcus gave you credit for. He always said you were too soft for this life. Too human. But you are proving him wrong posthumously." "Who are you? Which branch of the Cross family—"

"Everyone around me seems to be having babies, and it's just not happening for me. It's like the universe is against me." I squeezed her tightly, not sure what else to say. I knew that there were no words that could take away her pain. All I could do was be there for her. Leo, Grey, Xena, and myself -- huddled around the console in the living room, eager to pass the time as we played games. Xena was a compulsive gamer who was highly proficient in many types of console and arcade games. Her game skills brought all the boys to the yard! She was so unusual and extraordinary, a baddie who loved to kick male butts.

The clerk leads us to a small private room and leaves us with the box. My hands are shaking as I slide the key into the lock. The box clicks open. Inside is a single, glass vial of clear liquid and a handwritten letter. Nora, the letter begins. If you are reading this, you know the truth about the Whitfields and Vass. But you need to know the truth about the drug. X-14 wasn't meant to cause memory loss. It was meant to cure it. We were so close. But the stability of the compound required a human catalyst. A genetic marker that only a few people carry.

Sa bawat hakbang nito, ang damuhan ay natutuyo at ang mga bato ay nagiging alabok. ​"Xander Black," ang boses ng Omega ay tila galing sa ilalim ng lupa. "Ang iyong DNA ay may bakas ng Precursor Code. Ibigay mo sa akin ang access sa iyong memorya, at hahayaan ko ang iyong asawa na mabuhay." ​"Masyado kang madaldal para sa isang anino," sagot ni Xander.

Her eyes were wide with fear, her hands clasped tightly in front of her. “Ma’am,” I began carefully, “in my 40 years as a doctor, I have never seen this exact condition before. It is… rare. Very rare.” She swallowed hard. “What does that mean?” “This illness,” I explained, “appears to be linked to something in the Y chromosome — that is part of the male genetic code. In simple terms, it may be a genetic disorder passed from father to son.” Her brows knitted together. I asked gently, “Does this boy have a father with similar symptoms?”

“It means whatever caused this was something in close proximity to both of you.” She paused before finishing. “And it was intentional.” Xavier’s brows drew together.“Intentional?”His voice hardened slightly.“What do you mean?” Aurora held his gaze. “This particular poison was programmed to affect a specific DNA and specific cells.”She continued quietly.“You and Jaxon share the same DNA.” Xavier’s expression slowly changed as the implication sank in. “That’s why only the two of you were affected.”Aurora’s voice was steady now.“And nobody else you came into contact with got sick.”
