Enzo’s POV “What can I help you with?” I asked, trying to retain my professionalism and not let the annoyance get the best of me. “I feel like we didn’t end things on the proper note and it’s completely my fault. I wanted to apologize in a proper way. If you’d let me.” “It’s not necessary,” I sai

Lila’s POV“Is that Professor Enzo?” Becca asked, stepping beside me, and following my gaze to the window of an incredibly fancy restaurant. My heart clenched in a tight knot, and I felt Val lowering her head in sorrow as we watched our mate on a date with another woman. “Yes,” I said, my voice so

Enzo’s POV“What the hell did you do to her?!” Alpha John asked as I brought Bethany into their home. I still had her cradled in my arms; she was a drunken mess and singing a song I didn’t recognize, along with laughing wildly at nothing in particular. “She drank too much,” I answered, but I knew
“She’s my mate.” “I understand that, but she’s also your student Enzo. You could get into huge trouble if the board found out you were mated to your student.” “It’s not like I can help who I’m mated to,” I reminded her, taking another sip of the tea. I was starting to grow incredibly tired. I cou
“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 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
