“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
“I’m so sorry, sweetheart,” she breathed, sadness lingering in her tone. “If there’s anything I can do to help you. Please let me know.” “Actually, I know I haven’t even started yet… but I was wondering if I could take a few days off to regather my thoughts and recover from the accident…” “Take th
Lila’s POV Having Enzo here at the Nova packhouse was not something I wanted. But I wasn’t going to argue with my father about it. He was keen on having him here to thank him for helping me in the fire. It’s not like I could tell my family the reason why I didn’t want him here. Now I just had to h
“No,” I lied, turning away. “But I had friends that were.” “I told you she wasn’t stupid enough to sneak out of the academy to go to a house party,” Flynn said to Corinne, shaking his head with a frown on his face. Corinne rolled her eyes and turned away from me. “She’s so lame,” she muttered, fo
Enzo’s POV What the fuck does she thinks she’s doing?! Lila stood in front of me completely naked. Her entire body was illuminating pink, including her face. She looked incredibly uncomfortable, and her whimper only proved that. Her body trembled as she squeezed her legs tight, rubbing them toget
“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
