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
Enzo’s POV My hearing was gone; all I could hear was a loud pitched sound and all I could see was smoke. I wasn’t even sure if I was breathing or not. My entire body had gone numb, and I was pretty sure I was pressed against the ground, covered in rubble from the rogue hideout. I lifted my head
It was going to wait until we returned home. … Lila’s POV I was so tired. Using that much power to keep Enzo and his warriors safe took so much out of me. When I saw the grenade being thrown into the building, a part of me died right then and there. It was an agonizing emotional pain knowing
Lila’s POV Excitement was coursing through me as Enzo lifted the shirt I had on over my head. The only thing I was wearing was that shirt. One of the warriors must have put it on me when I shifted back into my human form while we were in the rogue territory. The shirt was long enough to reach my
I swallowed every last drop of him, smiling. I was pleased with myself for having that effect on him. He quickly began to kiss me again, tasting himself on my tongue and moaning in the scent of our combined love. He scooped me into his arms and forced my body to straddle him as he kissed my neck,
Lila’s POV I wore a white sundress with little yellow flowers around the bottom hem. The straps of the dress went around the back of my neck. It didn’t show off too much cleavage, but it made my figure very known with how tightly it hugged my body. It was a gorgeous dress though and complimented
“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
