Lila’s POV I stared at Dee with shock; she had seen the mark so quickly. I didn’t even realize she was standing there. Soon, murmurs erupted from around the dining room, and everyone was excitedly chirping. “Did the Alpha mark her??” “Had he finally found his mate?!” “I knew something was
Enzo turned to me and smiled. “Hold on, let me fix myself a plate,” he said as he continued to place food on his plate. Dee went back to work and others were talking amongst themselves. Once Enzo was done, we went over to the dining table and sat down. I stared at my food with a frown as Enzo
Enzo’s POV My mother sat in the backseat with bruises and cuts occupying her face. Her hands and feet were bound together, making it impossible for her to move, despite her desperately trying. Her mouth was also covered in tape, so she couldn’t speak but I heard her screaming through the tape. I
“What happened?” Enzo asked. “I don’t know,” I whispered to him. “I felt your emotions and I was going to come to check on you. Then I felt this shooting pain in my head.” Enzo frowned and looked around my face. “A shooting pain?” He asked. I nodded. “I felt it in my back too. I thought I
Lila’s POV “I just got off the phone with my school and they excused me from my first classes tomorrow,” I said, walking back into Enzo’s office. Ethan and Jack stood in the middle of the office, both pacing back and forth with worrisome expressions. “What’s going on?” I asked, staring around
I wanted to run in too and help him. But the warriors stopped me closely. “We have orders to keep you out here, Miss Lila,” One of the warriors stated. I didn’t care; my main thought was to get to my mate. Val was growing anxious, and it was painful to listen to. We could feel all of Enzo’s emot
Enzo’s POV The hideout reeked of rogues; it made me nearly sick to my stomach. There were a lot of them, and they were attacking my men and me. I was dodging their attacks and even getting a few bites in myself. I was still bigger than most of them, but because there were so many of them, I coul
“You’ve done more than enough,” I assured her. “We got through the clearing. Release the barrier.” I felt the tension lessen and I knew the shield was no longer intact. I let out a breath of air. “I think I found something,” Ethan said through the mindlink, drawing all of our attention down a lo
“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
