It was quite annoying. But I needed to find out why Scott did what he did for my own sanity. I gave the officer at the front counter Scott’s full name and asked for a visit. He granted me access right away and led me down a long hall with various doors until we reached the door at the end. He
Lila’s POV “That’s your excuse? You can do better than that, Scott,” I said, shaking my head. “I already know that Sarah is manipulative. You don’t have to—” “So, you’re the only one who can have powers?” His words halted me, and I looked at him. “That’s not what I’m saying…” “Then why is
“Heard your teacher-boyfriend quit. How sad for you,” Sarah said with a fake pout. “And I heard your boyfriend is in jail. How sad for you,” I said in return; Becca chuckled from behind me as Sarah pressed her lips together. “Scott and I broke up,” Sarah said, rolling her eyes. “He’s not worth m
Lila’s POV “I can’t believe they are replacing Professor Enzo. Did he even give a reason as to why he quit?” Becca asked as we made our way toward the dorms. “I’m not sure,” I lied. “I haven’t talked to him since last year.” “He was at the party though, wasn’t he?” She frowned, peering over a
Lila’s POV I stared dumbfounded at this man that Rachel introduced as her father. “Ray,” he corrected, holding out his hand for me to take. “You can call me Ray.” “Hello, sir,” I said in return, shaking his hand. Rachel had confided in me once about her home life and the struggles she’s had
I grabbed my phone and glanced at the screen, once again being disappointed that Enzo hadn’t responded to any of my messages. Where are you, Enzo? … Enzo’s POV “Our mate is upset we aren’t with her. I can feel it,” Max whined for the hundredth time. I knew this already; I could feel her pa
Lila’s POV “So, what we need to do is come up with a campaign,” Rachel said as we sat in the student lounge. It was Sunday, the day before classes began, and a few days after we settled into our new dorms. Rachel and Becca both looked eager as they sat across from me at our usual table. The lo
I wasn’t sure how much I could tell them without revealing that Enzo was my mate. “Who?” Rachel was the first to ask. “Her name is Deanna, she’s the chef in Enzo’s packhouse. She’s like the pack mother of a sort,” I explained. “She’s very sweet and she’s done bake sales that I’ve helped her with
“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
