Lila’s POV The hospital was crowded with frantic and drunk students. Most of them were covered in soot from the fire and some of them had blood on them. Thankfully, I only had a little bit of soot because Enzo managed to wipe most of it off my face. It was my clothing that was doing the most damag
Lila’s POV “What’s going on?” I asked as Brody quickly pulled away from me. I recognized the sound of Rachel’s piercing scream right away. I had never heard her sound like this before, but I knew it was her. The sound made its way through the hospital, bouncing off the walls and sending chills do
“Ryan might be dying,” she repeated in a broken whisper. “They are doing everything they can, but he took some serious damage. He keeps crashing and they keep bringing him back.” “And Rachel? How is she?” Brody managed to ask. “She’s being sedated,” Becca answered, more tears falling from her eyes
Lila’s POV “Miss Lila?” A nurse said, walking up to us, before Enzo had a chance to answer my question. “I’m sorry to interrupt your conversation. But Miss Rachel is asking for you. She just woke up and you’re the first person she wants to see. She’s calm now if you’d like to see her.” I stood up
“Obviously you didn’t chase him away seeming you are still together,” I told her. She gave me a small and crooked smile. “It wasn’t always like that though. Like I said, I was very cruel to him. He tried to get me to talk to him and to let him help me, but I refused all forms of help from him. He
Lila’s POV “Elysium?!” I gasped, standing to my feet. “Those in Elysium did that to you?” That explained why she didn’t want to step foot in Elysium again, even for my birthday. My heart ached so much hearing this and I couldn’t even contain my emotions. I paced the room, trying to calm myself do
I sighed and left the hospital. … I was dreading returning home. I knew Bethany was still there and the thought of seeing her at my packhouse left me feeling unsettled. She’s been getting on my nerves a lot lately and I really didn’t want to deal with her. But I got a memo from the school board t
Enzo’s POV “Dee, you are mistaken,” I said, shaking my head with disgust all over my face. “Bethany is certainly not my mate and Lila shouldn’t be thinking such things.” Dee stared up at me as I stood to my feet with alarmed eyes. “I’m so sorry. I just thought—” “You’ve been thinking wrong. Why
“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

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

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
