Lila’s POV“What is wrong with you?” I asked as I followed Matty out of the art room. The class had ended, and he was one of the last students to lead the room. He looked at me with an expressionless face; actually, he looked more bored than anything. This only made me angrier. How immature could
The less they are left alone, the better. “Okay,” I finally said after a pause. “I have nothing going on tonight, so I’ll be there.” “Excellent!” Em said cheerfully, “Wear a bathing suit!” She turned to walk away, leaving Matty and me standing alone once again. I gave him a questionable look and
Enzo’s POV “Thanks for coming with me to the beach, Enzo,” Connie said, laying out on her stomach on the large blue beach towel. “I hate going to beaches alone.” “I didn’t really have anything better to do while Lila is at work,” I explained. I didn’t want to continue being a distraction
“Shit!!” She yelled and I could hear the panic in her voice as she attempted to cover herself. “My bathing suit is completely ripped!” She cried. Connie’s upper half was now exposed, and her bathing suit was destroyed. “Why didn’t you bring a change of clothes to the beach?” I asked if I cou
Lila’s POV That had to have been the most painful thing I have ever done. What was I thinking? Telling Enzo that I was going on a date. This was not a date. I was going out with some friends to a beach party. I wanted to invite Enzo, but I saw that he was a little preoccupied with Connie. Wh
My face grew even warmer, and I knew it was probably as red as a cherry. “Me getting wasted should be a good indication that I don’t drink often,” I said in return, folding my arms across my chest. “Fair enough,” he laughed. “So, how about a pina-colada? Girls usually like those type of drinks.”
Enzo’s POV “Are you ready to go?” Connie asked as she came out of the bathroom. I turned to face her, still holding the pill bottle in my grip, she had yet to notice. “What are these?” I asked, holding up the bottle for her viewing. Her eyes adjusted to the bottle in her hands, and it was li
“Please, don’t be mad at me,” she cried. “I’m so sorry, Enzo. I was going to tell you, but—“ “I need you to leave.” I turned away from her, unable to stomach looking at her. I was going to do something I was definitely going to regret if she didn’t leave right now. “What?” She asked, pain clea
“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
