Lila’s POV “I’m sorry. I actually already have plans tonight,” I told them, all four pairs of eyes that were watching me. It wasn’t the truth; I just didn’t want to go anywhere with Rachel’s father, Raymond. I didn’t trust him. Raymond frowned at me. “I was going to take you girls to an expensi
“Just the two of you?” “Yes,” I answered, frowning. “Why?” “What does he want to talk to you about?” “I’m not sure yet. But he’s been trying to say something for the last day or so, and I’ve been so busy I haven’t given him a lot of time. But I’m going to speak with him later and find out what’s
Lila’s POV “Lila?” Brody spoke in a low tone after a few minutes of us sitting in silence. “Did you hear me?” I felt completely numb. I couldn’t have heard him correctly. This couldn’t be real. Was Sarah actually Brody’s mate? His goddess-given mate? “I know it’s a shock. It was a shock for me t
He blinked a couple of times at me before leaning back in his seat. “You are wise about this. I knew I came to the right person,” he said, grinning. I chuckled at his compliment. “It seems like you also speak from experience,” he said, eyeing my face carefully. “Is there anything you’d like to te
Lila’s POV I quickly tied the ring back in the light purple fabric and put it back on his nightstand. My heart was racing rapidly. Enzo knew that I didn’t want to get married until after I graduated so why did he have a wedding ring in his room? Val was instantly perked up at the sight of the ring
“Enzo…” I breathed, rushing toward him. He held out his arms and allowed me to step into his warm and open embrace. Once his arms closed around me and he held me close to his chest, I felt like I was finally home. I breathed in his glorious scent and basked in his warmth. He ran his fingers throug
Lila’s POV “Why do you think he’s going to propose today?” She asked, seemingly confused. I opened my mouth to tell her about the wedding ring I found, but then Enzo returned to the kitchen. “Ready for dinner?” He asked. “I’m starving.” I looked at him briefly before looking back at Dee. She was
“I told him about us,” I blurted before I could stop myself. His smile fell immediately. “Lila—” Before he could utter another word, we were interrupted by the waiter who brought the wine we ordered and then took our food orders. Once he was gone, Enzo stared back at me with the same alarmed expr
“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
