They tried to scar the wolf. They only marked the heir. ------ Six years ago, Genny survived a devastating attack that left her permanently scarred, traumatized, and trapped in a year-long coma. When she awoke, the power within her had been suppressed—and her connection to the four men destined to become her mates had been shattered. Damien, Rowan, Alexander, and Reid believed Genny had abandoned them. Genny believed they had rejected her. Neither side knew their communications had been intercepted and their separation deliberately engineered. Genny never left her family behind. They knew what had happened, stood beside her through the aftermath, and helped her conceal the truth while she gathered evidence and prepared her revenge. She has spent the past six years rebuilding her life, mastering her strength, and deciding exactly who deserves access to her again. Now she has returned for a week-long mating ball. She is not coming back as a victim seeking sympathy—or as a woman desperate to reclaim what she lost. Genny has a plan, and everyone who helped destroy her will eventually face the consequences. The four men she once loved still believe she chose to walk away from them. They want answers for a rejection they never received, but fate does not entitle them to Genny’s forgiveness, trust, or touch. As the mating ball draws closer, old secrets begin to surface. The lies that separated Genny from her mates start to unravel, revealing a conspiracy that reaches far beyond personal betrayal. Someone wanted Genny’s power suppressed. Someone wanted her bloodline hidden. And someone feared what would happen if the truth about her identity came to light. They thought they had broken a wounded girl. They never realized they had marked the rightful heir. Now the lace-marked wolf is ready to reclaim her power, her name, and her throne.
