~ GENNY ~

The birthday game was fun. For a fleeting moment, everything felt normal again. It almost felt like the last six years never happened.

Like I was never attacked.

Like I had never spent over a year of my life locked in an inescapable slumber.

Like they were mine again.

But the illusion couldn't last.

It did feel good to laugh like that again. And I hope to be able to thank whoever set that up. Those were some of my favorite memories.

Alexander's painted face at school.

Rowan's epic coo

  • The Lace-Marked Wolf   30. The Jester's Cauldron

    ~ GENNY ~Knock. Knock. Knock."Genny, are you ready to go?" Benedict asked after peeking his head through my bedroom door.Seeing me inspect my appearance, he entered the room, looked me over, and nodded in approval. "You look good. If you're trying to make those boys drool, then you definitely succeeded."I looked in the full-length mirror, pleased with my reflection. The shimmering black strapless bodycon dress had an asymmetrical hem that started mid-thigh on one side and ended just above my knee on the other. With every movement, hints of emerald-green sparkled in the fabric. It hugged every curve.It was paired with a snug lace shrug that clasped at my throat with a small gold brooch set with an emerald surrounded by small diamonds. A gold chain dangled below it, ending in a small teardrop-shaped emerald that rested just above my dress’s neckline. The sleeves of the shrug wrapped around my arms before flaring out slightly at my elbows. The back was just enough to cover my scars.

    ~ GENNY ~"What prophecy and why are you all looking at me like that?" I asked.All of our elders slowly sat down and looked away. They clearly didn’t want to answer, and I wasn't sure if I should let it go. At this point, my head had started pounding, and I rubbed it as if I could make it go away."Okay, let me get this straight," I started and held up a finger for each point to count them off."There have been breaches in the wall and barrier at both Stonehaven and Silvercrest. The notes were forged, as were the original tests on the substances, and similar paper was found at the breach. Someone has been messing with communications between me and anyone with the last name Ashcroft. A mysterious rogue boss is after the Crown Princess. The goon squad has been recorded stating they had something to do with my attack. And now there is some sort of prophecy and failed mission that Henry and Chloe are involved with. Am I missing anything else?"Reid added, "Sally was interested in the pap

  • The Lace-Marked Wolf   28. An Apology

    ~ GENNY ~"The Destroyer?" Alexander's question rang through the room.Charlie and my brothers smirked knowingly. Everyone else looked at me in confusion, even Brett. It was a secret that only the family knew. The pack believed there was a freak lightning storm that night, even though there wasn’t a single cloud in the sky."That's a story for another time," I simply stated.Rowan gave me a look that silently asked if I was okay. I gave him a short nod and took a deep breath before issuing my commands."Gideon, set up a conference room. Let Mr. Bernard know that we need one of the larger soundproof rooms and guards to stand outside. Use the highest security measures."Malcolm, once that's secured, you and Alexander help Jacob and Jillian get set up to review the video footage from today."Charlie, you and Allison find Mom, Dad, Uncle Arthur, Aunt Mabel, and Emmett and tell them we need to meet right away."Brett, stay with Jacob and Jillian. I'll clear it with my dad, but I want you t

We had actually just found our second treasure and returned to the common room when Emmett told us what happened.So we ran to the containment cells. The same cells that once held my brothers for six months while they were feral after Charlie and I were injured.The same cell that held me when my po

  • The Lace-Marked Wolf   26. Follow My Lead

    ~ DAMIEN ~I was excited for the birthday game. In truth, I had missed it. More than anything, I was enjoying seeing Genny laugh again. Yes, it was at our expense. But I didn't mind one bit.When Charlie announced Theo and I, I braced myself for whatever embarrassing moment from our shared past would appear on the screen.Alex wasn't the only one who could maintain control. I'd been in more extreme situations that forced me to maintain my composure, and I was determined not to lose it over having a silly childhood moment exposed.That's what I told myself, and that's what I wanted to believe. But the moment I saw the photo on the screen, the composure I was sure would hold shattered like glass struck by a hammer, bursting into a thousand glittering shards.What the onlookers saw was a picture of me wearing a tailored suit, a polite smile on my face. The photo on the screen was cropped from a group picture of my brothers and me. There was nothing embarrassing about it, unless you knew

  • The Lace-Marked Wolf   25. Not Completely Feral

    ~ REID ~Seriously? Why did they have to use that picture? That stupid banana suit still haunts me. The only good thing was that it had made Genny laugh when we were fifteen and was making her laugh now.I lost a bet with my brothers, and I had to wear that stupid suit to school. But it wasn't just wearing the suit. Nope. I had to sneak up on Genny and do the damn peanut butter jelly time dance in front of everyone.In my rush, anxiety, and embarrassment, I sang "peanut butter Genny time" instead. She reminded me of that by singing it as she was hanging on to Alex and Rowan to keep herself upright.As flushed as my cheeks were right now, they ached in the best way possible from the smile on my face as I savored her genuine laughter and pure joy over some of the best memories from our childhood.After Charlie finished introducing our teams and Emmett informed everyone of the rules, we were given our clues on paper identical to the notes we had received six years ago.I had to admit tha
