  • The Lace-Marked Wolf   59. The Things We Keep

    ~ GENNY ~"Sissy, you can't really think that Mom and Dad would hide something this big from you, from us, can you?" Theodore asked."Why not? Aunt Mabel and Uncle Arthur never told the guys about my condition for six years. If Mom and Dad think there is some prophecy that involves me, wouldn't they keep that from me as well?" I countered.I hadn't even realized that Damien and Reid had their fingers laced with mine until they both gave my hands a light squeeze and traced circles over the back of my hands with their thumbs.I felt Rowan's grip around my waist tighten as he leaned his forehead against my shoulder. I could hear him taking deep, calming breaths.I didn't have to wonder for long where Alexander was when I felt the warmth of his hand slowly caressing my leg in comfort.Part of me wanted to escape their embrace, but another part craved more. With each movement, it felt like some deep and primal need was slowly waking up. The feeling was hard to resist, but I managed to tamp

  • The Lace-Marked Wolf   58. Fireside Chat

    ~ DAMIEN ~"Where is she?" Alex asked as soon as we walked into the cottage and spotted Charlie.All four of us followed her gaze up the stairs before I asked, "Is she okay?"Charlie let out a long sigh. "I don't know. She will be. Amber and Mya are with her. But I have to know. What do you guys plan to do?"Without hesitation, Reid replied with determination, "Prove to her how much we love her."Charlie looked back at us, taking a moment to search for any sign of a lie. "You really do love her, don't you?"We all looked back at her, our eyes flaring with zero doubts. "We never stopped," Rowan answered as if there were no other option. Which there truly wasn't.Charlie nodded. "Ok. Well, you have your work cut out for you. By the way, where are the gift bags? Genny mentioned that you were supposed to bring them over from your mom's.""Oh, right. That was why I was coming back inside earlier. They're in the coat closet," Reid said as he made his way to the foyer."Any idea what's in th

  • The Lace-Marked Wolf   57. From the Ashes

    ~ REID ~ I stood rooted, my gaze locked onto her devastated emerald-green eyes. My chest was heaving. The pain tore me apart at the idea that Genny didn't want to be with us. But not because of anything we did, because of those four fuckers that violated our beautiful girl. The thought set me ablaze with anger. I wanted to go over and pull her into my arms. I wanted to kiss her until her doubts vanished. But I didn't. Instead, I quickly turned around and bolted out the door. I nearly stumbled when I heard Charlie ask her if she was still in love with us. Genny's loud wailing in response nearly broke me. I couldn't help but think that she was, but the mere thought of it overwhelmed her with grief. I needed to get away from there. I needed to talk to my brothers. They deserved to know. "Hey, Reid, did you tell Genny where we stored the gift bags Mom sent?" Alexander asked as soon as he saw me. I ignored him and kept storming deeper into the forest. They hesitated but caught

  • The Lace-Marked Wolf   56. They Deserve Better

    ~ GENNY ~ "Where are we going? You guys are taking me out here to kill me, aren't you? You do realize it's starting to get dark, don't you? Don't you know it's not safe out in the forest after dark?" Jacob was nervously rambling as he, Jillian, Brett, and I made our way to the cottage. I stopped abruptly, pinched the bridge of my nose, and let out a long sigh. "Jacob, it's a surprise. We've told you this. Trust me, you're going to like it." "A surprise? In the forest?" he nervously chuckled. "Surprises in the forest don't always end well. You know this better than anyone." As soon as he realized what he had just said, his eyes widened as he rushed out an apology. I just walked ahead, making sure the trio stayed close by. In an effort to calm him, Brett let some of the information slip. "I've never seen your cottage before, Genny. I'm excited for tonight." I shot him a scolding glare, which he just smiled widely at. Jillian suddenly had a bounce in her step. "We're going t

  • The Lace-Marked Wolf   55. The Blood Oath

    ~ GENNY ~"How the fuck did you do that?!" Gawain shouted, his voice filled with awe as I descended."Do what?" I asked with genuine confusion."Your mom said that we would feel anything inflicted on our avatars. But I felt nothing. Absolutely nothing. Both of my birds fried to a crisp from the strength of that lightning bolt," Anton replied.I petted the little monkey on my shoulder. "You didn't see it, but I disconnected you from your avatars right before the lightning struck. It was less than a second. It took me some time to find the connection though.""Guinevere! That was a psychic connection. You shouldn't have been able to see it, let alone sense it. I don't even know if Charlotte would have been able to sense it," Aunt Isabella scolded as she and Mom rushed over.I grabbed my little imp and cradled him to my chest, stroking his bald head. "I know, but as soon as everyone created their avatars I could see these threads. They were faint, so I almost missed it. So I tried disconn

  • The Lace-Marked Wolf   54. True Power

    ~ UNKNOWN ~"Genny, we should discuss what happened earlier. About my sister..." Anton was quickly cut off by Genny covering his mouth."Not here, Anton. We'll talk later somewhere more private," Genny whispered.He nodded before mumbling behind her hand. "You can uncover my mouth now."She pulled back her hand and mumbled a quick apology, at which he chuckled with amusement and patted the top of her head."Edward, are you sure you don't want to participate?" Genny asked.He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "Yeah. I'm sure. I'm not blessed like my sister and my mom, just gifted. With you, Amber, Janet, and Mya entering, I already know I don't stand a chance. Not to mention the elf and vampire princes there will be participating. I know my limits."Amber tilted her head. "I don't understand. What do you mean?""For wolves, there are two types of wolves with magic. Blessed wolves have their gifts bestowed upon them directly from the Gods, usually after a trial of some sort. Som
