~ GENNY ~

I decided to take the stairs to my room. I didn't want to risk running into the quadruplets in the elevator and end up finding myself trapped in a small space with them.

Yes, the nauseating smell of overly floral perfume that clung to them was one factor. But I was also afraid of triggering a panic attack in front of them. I couldn't let them see my weaknesses.

When I got to my room, I quickly changed into an older pair of jeans that I didn't mind getting dirty, a tight-fitting, long-

  • The Lace-Marked Wolf   17. Not It

    ~ GENNY ~I was hiding outside the kitchen in an alcove just off to the side of the door, listening to the guys tell my favorite story about Queen Elena. She was the one who created the first veil and enacted the law that delayed the mate bond until it concluded in a ball.The story always drew me in. I never understood why, but I may have been a bit obsessed with it. To the point that I dug into every book and journal I could find. I just had to know more.The true story was definitely deeper and darker. I've only shared it with my parents. Not even my brothers or Charlie know just how tragic it truly is.I definitely won't be telling the kids. Besides, they are enjoying hearing it from the guys. And I hate to admit it, I am enjoying hearing them tell it as well.The brothers went suspiciously quiet when Garrett mentioned the great oak being destroyed. They should have known it was gone. It sat on the only piece of Silvercrest that bordered with Stonehaven.That's why it was our spec

  • The Lace-Marked Wolf   16. A Love Story

    ~ ROWAN ~"A love story? It's not gonna have gushy kissy stuff is it?" Darren scrunched his face in disgust and stuck his tongue out.Reid, Allison, and I couldn't help but laugh at his reaction. Meanwhile, the girls were bouncing up and down in excitement."Girls, be careful. You don't want to burn yourself," Reid scolded as they melted butter."It looks melted to me, Uncle Reid," Mirabella exclaimed.Reid chuckled as he turned off the burners and moved the pots off of the stove. He proceeded to show them how to mix in the cinnamon and sugar as he continued his lesson."Now, some people like to spread soft butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. But I like to make a paste so I can spread it evenly."Aribella ran over to a drawer, dug around, and held up her prize. "Are we going to use a splat-la-la, Uncle Reid?""Splat-la-la?" I asked."Yeah. Aunty Genny says it's called a splat-la-la because you scoop the stuff, splat it down, and sing 'la-la-la' as you spread it around," Mirabella

  • The Lace-Marked Wolf   15. Take Them Down!

    ~ REID ~"How are things going, boys?" Aunt Celeste asked as she entered the massive kitchen followed by Gavin and Cecilia.I looked up from the dough I was kneading and smiled. "Hi, Aunty! Rowan and Mrs. Ainsworth are finishing up the additions to the menu right now. We've already reached out to our stores in Silverstone to get some additional staff."She clapped her hands together and smiled. "That's wonderful, Reid! Thank you so much for all of your help. Let me know how much the additional staff and supplies cost, and Cecilia will make sure it's taken care of.""You don't have to do that, Aunty. Reid and I don't mind handling the costs." Rowan strolled in with a smile, a tray piled high with smoked ham.I glanced over at him and asked, "Is the menu all set?""Yup. I hope that dough is for either croissants or cinnamon rolls," he said, pointing at the pale ball in my hands."Cinnamon rolls," I confirmed.Two high-pitched gasps drew our attention to the kitchen door. "Are you really

  • The Lace-Marked Wolf   14. Treasure Hunt

    ~ GENNY ~We landed with a loud crash against the antique rug. Shouts from Emmett and my father calling our names filled my ears. I struggled to open my eyes in my weakened state.I still wasn't as skilled as my mother when it came to teleporting, but I could use it when necessary. Unfortunately, it was a huge drain on my energy, so moving was difficult.The pained groan beneath me forced me to open my eyes, despite how difficult I found it. In our haste to escape, I hadn't even thought about the position I would find myself now.I was lying on top of a very, very naked Damien, wrapped in his arms.Each attempt to push away from him caused me to collapse back onto him, and his grip tightened.Dad had to convince him to let go, assuring him that we were safe now, before pulling me away.The sound of fabric settling over him let me know that Emmett had covered him. That was when Damien jolted upright, reaching out for something and shouting my name.His heavy breathing didn't ease until

  • The Lace-Marked Wolf   13. Do You Trust Me?

    ~ GENNY ~"We should reach the midway point soon."Damien and I had been following the tracks that led out of Silvercrest for almost an hour. I was thankful that it was mostly in silence, with the occasional discussion of something we found along the way.We managed to find a few things worth collecting and studying later, and we took breaks when necessary.But so far, our little adventure had been more like a nature walk, so that's how we treated it.We had been walking for maybe thirty minutes when we came across a camp not far from the tracks. I found it uncomfortably close to the Silvercrest border. Even more alarming was knowing that we were about a three-hour hike from the nearest road.It was rare to find humans camping in this forest, mostly because it's not publicized. But we also had some human allies that would try to prevent anyone from entering for their own safety.Damien and I were already on high alert because we knew that rogue and feral wolves and vampires frequented

  • The Lace-Marked Wolf   12. Ready for an Adventure?

    ~ GENNY ~"What the hell is that?" Marcus's angry voice boomed from behind us.Damien, Brett, and I had been so shocked at finding the hidden door in our wall that we never sensed him approaching. We all turned toward him with equally surprised expressions.I tried to keep the panic from my voice, but failed. "Marcus, we need to tell my dad. This door looks like it's been here for a while."Sensing my mood, Marcus approached cautiously. "Genny, take a deep breath."I did as he asked as Brett placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. But it didn't fully extinguish the thoughts racing through my mind."We should call Emmett and Uncle Steven," Damien suggested as he eyed me warily.I gave a single sharp nod. "Yeah. That's a good idea."Our group walked back toward our vehicle as I pulled out my phone and dialed my father. He answered on the first ring and I quickly put him on speaker and placed the phone on the hood."Guinevere, what happened?""Dad, are you in your office?""Yes. And bef
