Lila’s POV “Someday soon, Enzo will realize what a terrible mistake he’s made,” Felicity said, rolling her eyes at me. “And I suppose you think that you’re more suitable to be the Luna?” I asked, straightening my shoulders. “Obviously,” she scoffed. “Like I said, I know this pack very well. I
Enzo’s jaw tightened and I saw the anger filling his eyes now. He was staring down the empty hallway, the direction he knew I came from. “Can you stay with my mother?” Enzo asked, his voice hardened and unfamiliar. “I’ll be right back.” He released his hold on me and began to walk away, but I gr
Lila’s POV “But first, tell me why you think he hates Volana wolves,” Diana said, staring at me with sadness in her eyes. I didn’t like talking about this, but at the same time, it’s a lot of stuff that I’ve been holding in. What better person to tell other than my mate's mother? She had such a
“You were his mother, if he didn’t want to go back, he shouldn’t have had to,” I said, furrowing my brows together. “Surely you had a say in the matter.” She nodded her head once. “I did,” she answered. “I asked him as well what he wanted to do, and his answer was that he wanted to restore the n
Enzos POV Felicity was at the nurse's station; I could pick up the scent of her excessive use of perfume miles away. The closer I got to her, the more fury I was feeling. She disrespected my mate and her future Luna. I wasn’t okay with that, and I was going to make sure she knew exactly how I fe
“You are not my mate,” I said through gritted teeth; I was feeling that fury rising throughout me again, but this time, she stood her ground, pressing her lips together. “I could be your chosen mate,” she said in return, meeting my eyes. My breathing became rash, and I knew if I didn’t walk away
Lila’s POV Felicity’s apology took me off guard. I was already crying because of what I just found out about Enzo’s mother, but then the apology pushed me over the edge It seemed sincere, though I didn’t fully trust her. I wondered what made her decide to apologize. I wonder what Enzo had said t
“And you went rogue after that?” I asked. Her silence told me otherwise and my heart grew even heavier. I knew this story was hard for her to speak about and I didn’t want to push her too much to talk about. “He found her,” Enzo continued for her, stepping beside me. “My father found her. She wa
“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
