Marked Stories

Eight years ago, Maxwell Voltaire's brother was murdered by a man no one could identify-except for one detail. A strange, ugly mark. A star. Now a student at the prestigious Greenwood Academy, Max has spent years trying to forget the face he can barely remember and the hatred that never faded. But on the anniversary of his brother's death, the past resurfaces in the worst way possible. Because in this world, stars aren't just distant lights-they leave their mark. Hidden among ordinary people are those born under rare celestial conditions, individuals branded with star marks and granted abilities that evolve over time. They move through society unseen, shaping gangs, governments, and the balance of power itself. And Max... might be one of them. Now, forces he doesn't understand are starting to close in-people who would rather erase him than risk what he could become. With no one to trust and nowhere to run, Max is forced to fight back. Because surviving isn't enough anymore. He'll have to build something of his own.

I've spent my whole life pretending I was normal. Ignoring the heat that built under my skin when I was angry. The strange dreams that never faded in the morning. The quiet sense that something inside me was... waiting. I told myself it was nothing. Until the night it wasn't. Until the moment he found me. The Dragon King isn't a man people survive. He rules through fear, through fire, through absolute control-and when his gaze locked onto mine, the world didn't just stop... It shifted. Something ancient recognized me. And before I could understand what was happening, before I could run- He marked me. Now I'm caught between what I was... and what I'm becoming. Hunted by forces I don't understand. Bound to a king who was supposed to destroy me. And tied to a power that refuses to stay buried. Because whatever lives inside me isn't just dangerous. It's forbidden. And if I lose control... I won't be the only one who burns.

The house everyone hated. For the first time, Joshua and Markl are at a loss to do when the strange little girl Alice forces them into playing a very dangerous game if they want Sharon back.

The only question is if Alice is prepared to give them a winning chance.

The royals from the Kingdom came to finally check on the people but instead they all got us in a huge line and we got marked, and sorted. Some people stayed in their same duties others got new duties some others got killed. I guess there was a special mark for royalty because I got that mark, a crown. When it was time to go to our places I didn't know where to go so I followed the guards that just marked the people I bumped into the Prince/Future King and he saw my sleeve rolled up and gasped I was their next Queen...
