Rogue Evolution

Caged. Experimented on. And still the most dangerous thing in the room. Artemis Blackwell wakes up strapped to a nightmare. Sterile walls. No exits. And a mad scientist who doesn't want her dead — he wants her useful. When the smug face of her enemy flickers onto the cell screen to announce she's been delivered as a gift to her biggest fan, Artemis knows this isn't random. Someone has been hunting her specifically — for the blue fire that burns in her veins and the incomplete evolution tearing through her body. Dr. Foxberry is everything a monster pretends not to be: warm, patient, fascinated. He doesn't need her willing — only available. Needle after needle, serum after serum, he chips away at her defenses while logging her screams like data points. Her elemental fire powers are neutralized, her body is a battlefield, and the man she loves — the one person who might be coming for her — is nowhere to be seen. Every passing hour, she feels something shifting inside her. Something new. Something she can't yet control. And Dr. Foxberry is counting on exactly that. Can Artemis survive a ruthless captor determined to weaponize her own evolution against her — before the experiments remake her into something she no longer recognizes?
