Here's the rewritten Chapter 1:

Chapter 1: A Lazy Morning

Marcus lay in bed, basking in the warmth of the morning sun streaming through the window. His raven-dark hair was mussed, and his bright blue eyes were closed, savoring the last moments of sleep.

"Wake up, you lazy bone!" his father's voice boomed, shattering the peaceful morning.

Marcus's eyes snapped open, and a wide smile spread across his face. "Good morning, Father!" he exclaimed, throwing off the covers.

His father, a ruggedly handsome man with a strong jawline and piercing yellow eyes, returned Marcus's smile with an irritated look. "What's good about it? You're sleeping in till almost noon! What would your mother say if she saw you like this?"

Marcus's smile faltered for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "I'm sorry, Father. I'll get up and help with breakfast."

His father nodded curtly. "See that you do. And after breakfast, I want you to go to the market outside town. We need supplies, and I don't want to risk going myself."

Marcus nodded, knowing the reason behind his father's caution. As werewolves, they were not allowed to move freely about the city. The vampires had seen to that.

Ten years ago, the vampires had risen up and waged war against the werewolves. They had destroyed their cities, killed countless werewolves, and left the survivors to pick up the pieces. Marcus's mother and brother had been among the fallen.

The memory still stung, but Marcus pushed it aside. He had to focus on the present. He quickly washed up and came downstairs to start breakfast. The smell of sizzling bacon and eggs filled the air, and Marcus's stomach growled in anticipation.

As he cooked, his father sat at the table, watching him with a critical eye. "You need to be careful, Marcus. The vampires are still out there, and they won't hesitate to attack if they find out what you are."

Marcus nodded, his heart racing at the thought. He knew the risks, but he was determined to live his life, no matter what dangers lay ahead.

Here's the continuation of Chapter 1:

As Marcus wandered through the bustling market, haggling with vendors and selecting the freshest produce, a commotion erupted at the entrance. The vampire prince, flanked by his imposing guards, swept into the market, his piercing gaze scanning the crowd.

Instantly, the market fell silent, and everyone dropped to their knees, bowing their heads in deference. Marcus, however, remained standing, feigning ignorance of the prince's arrival. His heart racing, he carefully avoided eye contact, focusing instead on the vibrant stalls.

The guards, their faces twisted in scowls, strode toward Marcus, their hands resting on the hilts of their swords. One of them, a burly man with a cruel grin, swung his fist at Marcus, connecting with a sickening thud. Marcus crumpled to the ground, his vision blurring.

As he struggled to his feet, the guard sneered, "You dare to disrespect the prince?"

Marcus's eyes flashed with defiance. "I didn't see him arrive. And even if I had, I wouldn't bow to someone who's oppressed my people for so long."

The guard's face darkened, and he raised his hand to strike again. But before he could, the vampire prince intervened, his voice dripping with malice. "Kill him. He's clearly a werewolf sympathizer."

The guards closed in, their swords drawn. Marcus prepared for the worst, but just as all hope seemed lost, a mysterious figure appeared out of nowhere. Clad in a black cloak and mask, they hurled a smoke bomb into the midst of the guards, creating a chaotic diversion.

In the ensuing confusion, Marcus seized the opportunity to flee, dashing through the crowded market alongside the masked stranger. They weaved past startled vendors and terrified shoppers, the guards' angry shouts and curses echoing through the air.

As they emerged from the market, Marcus realized he had forgotten the medicine his father had sent him to buy. His heart sank, knowing how much his father needed it.

The masked figure, noticing Marcus's distress, turned to him and asked, "Are you alright?"

Marcus hesitated, unsure if he could trust this mysterious stranger. But for now, he had no choice but to follow them and hope for the best.

How's that? I've continued the chapter, introducing the vampire prince and the mysterious masked figure.

Please let me know if this meets your expe add!
