I yelped loudly, kicking him in the face and snapping my own canines in his direction. Soon, a dark grey wolf came out of nowhere and roared loudly. I recognized him right away, but I just couldn’t believe he was here right now. “Brody?” I asked in a mindlink. “How are you here right now?” “I sa
Lila’s POV I wasn’t sure how long I’d been out for. My entire body ached when I woke. It felt like I’ve been knocked in the head, but I knew that wasn’t true. I was out of it before anything happened to me. I remembered a stabbing feeling in my neck and then everything went dark. When I started
“And we will,” he said. “I promise. I’ll get you out of here. But for right now, we have to just be patient and wait for that opportunity.” I nodded once. “Before I passed out, I mindlinked Professor Enzo…” “Professor Enzo? Why/” “If he knows I’ve been taken… he’ll come,” I told him, almost
Lila’s POV “Who are you?” Brody asked, walking in front of me toward the cell bars. “Why did you take us?” “We took you because you were simply in the way. We took her… well… she knows why we took her,” the man said, narrowing his dark eyes in my direction. This man had a dark energy; he had long
“Do you think that’s wise? They could kill us without our wolves.” “I can hold them off. You run.” “No,” I said firmly, staring up at him. “We got here together; we are leaving together. I’m not leaving you behind.” “It’s not an option Lila,” Brody said in return, shaking his head. “I won’t let t
Enzo’s POV The old chapel was the perfect place for them to take Lila. Awful things had happened long ago at that chapel, causing it to get shut down. It was once a popular tourist attraction due to the dark history that was attached to the building. However, that also got shut down by protesters c
Across the room, my heart fell into my stomach, when I saw a large bag filled with a dark red liquid. “Is that my blood?” I managed to ask in a hoarse whisper. “It is,” Robert said with a head nod. “We are running some tests. Finding out what makes you tick. Trying to see what gives you your abi
Lila’s POV “You can’t be serious,” I said, staring at Brody who was barely hanging onto life. “He’ll die.” “I want to see everything you can do. Show me,” Robert said in a darkening tone. “I can do that without Brody,” I said, staring up at him. “I won’t hurt him.” “I wasn’t asking. You’re makin
“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
