The last time I saw her was a few months ago; I made it a point to visit her when I could. “I informed you as soon as I knew for sure who she was,” Ethan tried to explain, following me as I made my way toward one of the doctors. “I didn’t want to worry you for nothing and it’s not like I’m that fam
Lila’s POV Sarah stood in front of us with her arms folded across her chest a glimmer of amusement on her face, but there was also a hint of darkness in her eyes. I could feel Becca’s tension from beside me; she felt uncomfortable around Sarah. That much was obvious. I really try to coexist with S
I watched as shadows emerged from the ground and began shifting into shapes that I had never seen before. My eyes widened; I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Neither could Sarah and Becca; they both gasped loudly as they stared at me. “You’re doing this?!” Becca gasped. “I knew you were dangerou
Lila’s POV I was able to get through class without any other issues containing my powers, but I couldn’t help but think about Enzo’s whereabouts the entire time. Even Becca could tell I was distracted because she was able to get a few attacks in. “Are you okay?” She asked, eyeing me carefully. “Ar
“There has been an emergency at home that I need to tend to. My family said it was fine if I couldn’t get the time off. But I wanted to ask anyways. I’ll be back before the due date of the project.” She thought about it for a moment longer before nodding. “Have one of your peers collect your homew
Lila’s POV “Lila?” Ethan said, staring at me in surprise as I stood outside the Calypso packhouse. I felt my face grow warm as he stared at me. I wasn’t sure how I was going to explain why I was here. Do I tell him I was worried about Enzo? No. I couldn’t say that. “What are you doing her
She noticed me dancing along with her and she started to laugh, which made me laugh as well. Together, we danced and sang. Twirling around the kitchen without a care in the world. I only stopped when I realized Enzo was standing at the door. His dark gaze poured into me, causing my entire body to
Enzo’s POV I sat on the loveseat on the far side of the art gallery while Lila sat in front of her canvas. She had this perplexed look in her eyes as she fixated her gaze on her painting. I had given her some old clothes so she wouldn’t get paint all over her outfit, along with an apron. Her tongu
“Did you hear?” Bri asked, a hint of a smile on her lips. “That my son was kissing your daughter?” I asked, raising my eyebrows as I looked down at a very red-faced Kayla. Bri nodded, and then we both glanced at Asher who was staring at Kayla with a pained expression on his face. Awe, my littl
I smiled and nodded as I stepped around her and back down the stage. As I walked back to my seat, my eyes glazed over at Enzo who was beaming at me. My heart swelled at the sight of him smiling. I could see how proud he was in his eyes, and it instantly made me teary. How was it possible to love s
Lila’s POV “Today marks a new beginning. It is a chance to redevelop ourselves and tell the universe the kind of people we want to be. Today marks our many successes and our many failures. A chance for us to screw up and then redeem ourselves. A chance for us to fall in love all over again. Today
I smiled at my toddler as I placed him in his highchair. “Pancakes it is,” I said fondly as I went over to the freezer and pulled out the pack of frozen mini pancakes. I put a few on a plate and popped them into the microwave. After I sent the timer, I made both Asher and Coope a juice cup and I
Lila’s POV 2 years later Asher woke me up bright and early as he did every morning. He’s lucky I love him so much. Enzo wasn’t in bed when I woke up, which made me worried for about 2 seconds before I remembered that he told me he had to clean up his stuff from the arena that morning. It was
She held up a light blue bear with a polka dot bow tie. This was the only toy that could get Cooper to sleep. “Oh, goddess,” I said with my face warming. If I couldn’t even remember my son’s bear, how was I going to do motherhood? Enzo took the bear from my mother and then went to pick up the
Lila’s POV “They are both Volana wolves?” I whispered, staring at the pups. My mother and Diana brought me the twins so that I could see for myself. When I was met with two pairs of violet eyes and two pairs of blue eyes, my heart swelled with joy. Tears instantly filled my eyes as I held my two
Enzo smiled at my words and then he cleared his throat before he began to speak. “I will always be your protector,” he said in return. “I’ll do whatever I have to keep my family safe. You, Cooper, and Asher, are my family. I will never let anything happen to you three. I know these last couple of
Corrinne and Flynn rushed to my bedside to look at their nephews. “They are so cute,” Corrinne whispered. “Lila!” I heard Bri say as she rushed toward me and threw her arms around my body. “You had us all so scared.” “I’m sorry to worry you guys,” I said through my tears, smiling up at Becca a
