“Thank you for the help, Brody,” I said quickly, giving him an apologetic smile. “Anytime,” he said in return giving me a broad grin. “I need to go, this spell to shield my scent is going to wear off soon and I need to reapply it.” My frown deepened as I looked up at him. “You know, you should
Enzo’s POV Lila sat with me on my bed as I called my mother. She answered on the second ring. “Enzo? Hi, sweetheart,” she said on the other end of the phone. “How are you doing?” “I’m afraid this isn’t a casual phone call,” I told her gently. “I’m calling because I need a favor.” “Of course,
“Yes…” she breathed. “Good witches are a rarity these days,” she agreed. “If anything happens to me, this village will fall…” “That’s one of the reasons why keeping you protected is so important to me. Not just for your well-being, but my mother’s too. I know what’s at stake and I can promise you…
Lila’s POV I woke up the next morning feeling a little uneasy. I had a bad feeling, but I couldn’t figure out why. It had to be more than just my nerves; though, I knew what my nerves were trying to tell me, my gut felt like it was telling me something different. Enzo was gone for the morning ge
“Almost,” she said, stepping away from us. “I just wanted to grab a snack.” “Then how about you grab a snack and finish your homework,” my mother said to her. Corrine rolled her eyes but then gave me a small smile before going toward the kitchen; I chuckled as I watched her leave. Enzo soon wa
Lila’s POV My mother chuckled. “It took a lot to not say anything,” my mother said; my father looked like he wanted to laugh as well but refrained from doing so. Instead, he looked at Enzo with a soft expression. “I knew you were the right one to take care of her,” my father said to him. “I
It felt amazing. “I couldn’t have chosen a better Alpha for you myself,” my father said, glancing between the two of us with fondness all over his face. “I’m so very happy for you, Lila Bean.” I felt elated at his acceptance. “Thank you, Dad,” I said with tears forming in my eyes. “Welcome t
Lila’s POV I looked at Enzo with a worried look, but he didn’t appear as worried. “How much do you know about the new professor at Lila’s school? The one who took over for me?” Enzo asked in return. My father’s frown deepened. “The school board did the hiring of this one,” he answered. “I do
“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
