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
Lila’s POV Once they were done beating Brody, I watched as they dragged him out of the arena area and back toward the dungeon cells. My heart was so heavy in my chest, but I had no fight left in me. I allowed Robert and the men to drag me back to the infirmary room. Once we got there, they strappe
Lila’s POV I woke up groggily in a different bed than when I passed out in. I felt a stinging in my head, but it wasn’t anything I couldn’t manage. I groaned miserably for a moment as I reached for my head and felt a tight bandage wrapped around it. “Don’t move too much, Lila Bean,” I heard the f
Lila’s POV Enzo jumped awake to the sound of my voice. He looked confused as to where he was for a moment. He glanced around the room before his eyes landed on me and then he sighed, leaning back in his chair. “How long have I been asleep?” I asked, keeping my eyes on his. He glanced at the clock
Enzo’s POV Brody was healing nicely; he no longer had bruises or cuts on his face, and he was fully awake. His wolf was working overtime to heal him. He was surprised when I walked into the hospital room to see him. It was early the next morning and Lila was still very much asleep. I didn’t get m
I stared around Brody’s face for a moment longer; he was nothing more than a jock. He was strong and not bad looking, I’ll give him that. But he wasn’t a match when it came to me. I don’t know why I was comparing myself to him. I turned away and back toward the door. “Just get some more rest. I’m
“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
