Mark Me

<p><strong style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>I'm marked...but I won't be tamed.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Loss has scarred my life. I've trained relentlessly endured unimaginable pain for one goal-to face the beast who watched me who came for me. But took my family instead.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>There's nothing I won't do for vengeance.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Until three sinful and unhinged monsters find me emerging from the shadows with sharp teeth and with claws that could pull apart my life as easily as they do the buttons on my dress.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>They think they can break me... Absurd.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Yet I'm caught in their twisted war in a world in ruins and fraying at the edges. They won't leave me alone insisting I belong to them.

Especially when I'm starting to suspect that they had a hand to play in my family's death.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>They aren't the first monsters I've faced. They'll most certainly be the last...</span></p>
