“I’m inquiring about a student of mine… Becca,” I said, staring around their paling faces. They all looked at one another before turning back to me. “She’s your student?” One of the doctors asked, swallowing the lump in his throat. I nodded my head once. “How is she doing?” I asked again, lookin
Lila’s POV Today was the big day; my art piece was going to be shown to hundreds of people and I had never been more nervous in my entire life. My heart was racing rapidly in my chest as I stared myself over in the mirror that hung in my dorm room. I wore a casual evening gown and kept my hair do
“I… I don’t know what to say,” I breathed, staring between her and my father. This almost felt undeserving after what happened this past week, but I was in such awe I could hardly form words. “Say you’ll accept,” Cassidy-Anne said with a fond smile. “I wouldn’t want anyone else to be my assistant.”
Lila’s POV Everything happened so fast; my heart was racing at lightning speed as Enzo lifted me onto the sink. Instinctively, I wrapped my legs around him; mainly to keep myself from falling off the sink, but also because it just felt right. I felt him between my legs, pressing himself against me
“Nobody knows, Bri. You can’t tell anybody,” I pleaded. She swiped my hand away but remained still as she stared around my desperate and serious face. “You’re being serious…” she whispered in awe. “He’s actually your mate…” I nodded my head once, keeping my eyes locked on hers. “I wish I wasn’t
Enzo’s POV “Hey, Enzo!” Bastien called me over from across the exhibit. He was with a few other Alphas. I wondered if they saw me leaving the bathroom area with Lila trailing behind me. But when I turned to glance in Lila’s direction, she wasn’t there. She was smart; she must have been waiting a
“You don’t want to be my partner anymore?” I asked. “I was thinking, since I woke up, that Sarah is gone, and her partner will need a new partner. I could always be her partner…” “What about me?” I asked. “You’d have to talk to Professor Enzo about it,” Becca said with a shrug. “I just can’t trus
Enzo’s POV “You know, Enzo. You aren’t a bad drinking partner,” Alpha John said with a drunken slur as he slapped me on the back of my shoulder. I could smell the whisky on his breath, and it made me cringe. I’ve only had a couple of beers, so I was far from drunk. But I couldn’t say the same for
“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
