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
Lila’s POV Ethan furrowed his brows at me as I turned to face him. I felt warmth all around my body, so I’m sure that was evident on my face. He was staring at me with such concern that my entire stomach decided to turn into one giant knot, making me feel sick. I wasn’t even sure what to say
Enzo’s POV Earlier. “Enzo? I wasn’t expecting you. What are you doing here?” My mother asked as we stood just outside her small cottage in the rogue village. My mother and the others in her clan fixed this small town up nicely from when they discovered it years ago. It was the only area in th
A smile had tugged at my lips as I spoke about Lila. My heart felt like it was going to explode, I couldn’t take it anymore. I tried so hard to deny my feelings for her but speaking about her to my mother…I couldn’t hold it in any longer. I finally looked at my mother and she had tears in her eyes
Enzo’s POV “You think they know that Lila is my mate??” I asked, staring at her in disbelief. If they did know, they played it off cool. I never suspected that they could know anything. I suddenly felt extremely nervous. I wondered if Lila knew that they knew. “Yes,” my mother said, stifling
“One way or another, Paul and his crew are going to find out about her. Once they do… you are going to want to be close to her so you can protect her. Volanas are very strong, some might actually be dangerous if they had lost their way. But something tells me that Lila isn’t dangerous at all, and sh
Enzo’s POV The scent of honeysuckle grew stronger the closer I got to the packhouse. What was she doing there? School starts tomorrow; there isn’t a reason why she would be over. Although, I have been ignoring her calls and texts. So, maybe she was there because she wanted to talk to me. What
It wasn’t until Dee loudly cleared her throat that we stopped. “Maybe you should take this somewhere more private?” She suggested trying not to look at us as she continued cooking. Lila’s face reddened as I put her down. I grabbed onto her hand and pulled her with me. She went without hesitati
“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
