Out of everyone who could have been my mate, why did it have to be Blaise’s son? … Morning came quickly. I hadn’t even realized I fell asleep until I heard a loud knocking on the door. I groggily lifted my head to peer out the window and saw the faint outlining of the sun shining through the close
Lila’s POV “Is that Professor Enzo?” Miss Grace asked in a whisper as she slowly stood to her feet. I felt the blood rushing to my head as I stared at the portrait of Enzo. This meant the painting I had for this class was still in my room. How did I make such a terrible mistake like this? “He’
She thought about that for a moment before she laughed. “You certainly accomplished that,” she said, shaking her head still laughing. “And Enzo was okay with this?” She asked, eyeing me carefully. “I wouldn’t have done this without his permission,” I lied again; I hated lying but she couldn’t kno
Lila’s POV I can’t believe I messed up so badly that I presented Enzo’s portrait as my project in class. He was never going to forgive me for this. Maybe if I switched the portraits after hours. I sat in the student lounge which was oddly empty, and I could gather my thoughts. I was doing some h
The board glanced over at my father. He had the folder that Enzo had given him in his hands. “And you have the proof of this serious accusation?” They asked. My father nodded, standing, and stepping toward their seated area. He shuffled through some of the papers in the folder before placing them
Enzo’s POV This portrait was supposed to be a gift to my mother, and she used it for her art project. Was this her plan this whole time? Did she ever intend to give this portrait back to me? How could she think this was okay? Now everyone was going to think I gave her special favors. The look M
… Third Person POV Back in Elysium, in the Nova Packhouse, Selene finished cooking dinner for her twin children. It was only the three of them this evening. Bastien was spending the night in Higala. It wasn’t often that Selene got to spend this much time alone with her other children, so she made
Lila’s POV I didn’t know where else to go other than the forest. As soon as the electricity left my fingers and the shadows lifted from the ground, I knew I needed to isolate myself until it ended. I covered my head and ran from the school; I needed to get far away. But not too far. I still neede
“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
