Wilkins: A Chainmark Novella (THE CHAINMARK FILES Book 1)

Brad Wilkins was raised on discipline, shaped by fear, and taught that obedience is the only currency worth taking. When the Chainmark Act is announced, Brad doesn’t see politics or reform.
He sees opportunity.

Not justice.
Not civic duty.
Power.

Before Ryan Murphy ever stepped onto the ranch, Brad was building the rules, the rituals, and the quiet brutality he calls a “proper home.” This novella follows Brad from the moment the Act passes to the day he brings his new purchase back to the ranch, told entirely through his eyes.

No excuses.
No remorse.
Just the truth of a man who believes he’s better than the father who broke him, even as he becomes something far worse.

A dark companion novella in the Chainmark Files.
This is a companion novella to Bonds of Slavery and The Boy.
If you haven’t read them, start there.
This won’t make sense without them, and frankly, it’s not meant to.
