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
Lila’s POV “Do you want another drink?” Matty asked, leaning over as we sat in the beach chairs in front of the roaring bonfire. The heat of the bonfire was starting to get to me a little bit and my head was already spinning a little after the pina colada I just drank. “Maybe just one mo
But now I’m not so sure. I took another sip of this drink; it was delicious despite knowing I probably shouldn’t be driving anymore. The last thing I needed was for Enzo to be called to take me home again. I can’t live with that humiliation yet again. “I’m glad we could talk and start over,”
Enzo’s POV “What did you give her?” I asked between my teeth, staring at this pathetic guy that was trying to take Lila away. He had dropped Lila from his arms as soon as I neared them; I could see the fear in his eyes. He was pathetic. What Lila was doing with Buffoon, I hadn’t the slightest
Lila’s POV A full scholarship! I wasn’t expecting this and I’m hardly sure what to say at this moment. I just stared at him dumbfounded with my mouth hanging open. My heart thudded violently against my chest, and it took everything I had not to hug him on the spot. Leroy continued to explai
“He’s kind of just been doing his own thing,” I admitted. “He usually takes me to work if he’s able and we go to dinner and stuff. But I’ve been so preoccupied with work that we hardly see each other.” “Oh, that’s unfortunate,” my mother said, and I knew she was frowning. “Is there something on yo
Enzo’s POV “You’re dating a Volana wolf?” Alex asked with also wide eyes; all three Alphas were now staring at him, shocked about this new discovery. “What’s that like?!” Mike asked excitedly. “You guys should have seen her!” John said in return, clapping me on the back. I felt Max growing r
“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
