Lila’s POV“Did my father put you up to this?” I asked, staring at him with such shock. Val was instantly in a better mood as she cooed “I told you so.” “He might have mentioned not wanting you to go on this trip alone,” Enzo admitted. “I can’t believe he would do that,” I said, feeling a little
“It’s not my first time flying,” he answered. “How many times have you flown?” I found myself asking. “Enough times to be confident.” I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at him as I looked away. I nearly jumped out of my skin as I felt the plane jerk forward. I quickly grabbed onto the armrests, no
Lila’s POV“Did you just say a shared room?” I asked in shock, staring at my boss with wide eyes. Enzo was incredibly quiet as he stood behind me and I wouldn’t dare look at his face. Why would she book us a room to share? Didn’t she know he was my professor? I couldn’t share a hotel room with my
The hotel clerk sat behind the front desk, typing away on her computer and she glanced up when she noticed us walking toward her. The floors of the hotel lobby were made of beautiful rose gold marble and in the center of the lobby was a giant crystal fountain. The hotel must have been at least 10
Lila’s POV“Right now?’ Enzo asked, raising his brows. “We just got here. Let’s get settled in first.” “We have two months to get settled in. I want to check out the tropical beach,” I said, peering up at him. “I can always go myself if you don’t—” “I’ll go with you,” he interrupted. “But let me a
It was certainly nothing like the pond beaches we have in Elysium and Higala. There was even a bar on the beach; it was still fairly early in the afternoon, and they were already serving drinks to guests. I could also hear music coming from somewhere on the beach. In the distance, I saw a stage an
Enzo’s POVI stood frozen as water attacked my face; as soon as it hit me, I stumbled away, wiping it out of my eyes so I could see clearly. The look of regret was soon on Lila’s face as she stood to her feet. I wasn’t mad, but I was having trouble thinking straight about how sexy Lila was looking
Her body was incredibly warm, and I had a feeling it wasn’t because of the heat outside. I ran my fingers down her arm gently and I saw a small smile playing on her lips. Max was right when he said that nobody we knew was going to be here and we could do whatever the fuck we wanted. Before I knew
“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
