Lila’s POV It felt like my entire body was numb, and yet, all I felt was pain. It wasn’t the same fiery feeling I felt earlier, but it felt as if I was just beaten. My body felt heavy, and my breathing was rash, but at least I was breathing. I had yet to open my eyes, but I knew once I did, I wasn
I gazed up at the small window above my head; it was high enough that I couldn’t reach it without standing on something. The light that peered through was fading, which meant it was becoming dusk quickly. I knew once night fell completely, I’d be in even more danger. That’s when the creatures of th
Enzo’s POV “Something is wrong with our mate,” Max’s voice came into my head while I was in the middle of speaking to the researcher. We could smell the wolfsbane potently since Hazel broke the masking spell on it, but now he was generating some new reports to prove that there was indeed wolfbane
“It’ll be fine,” he murmured, sitting beside her. “Just give my wolf some time. He’s old and it takes him a little longer to heal me nowadays.” “You aren’t old, Charlie,” she said, and I heard a little flirtatious humor in her tone. Charlie was his name; I needed to remember that. Casey and Charl
Enzo’s POV “Ethan, gather the strongest warriors. I need you on patrol of the forest just outside our pack going North. I think Lila is in trouble,” I sent a mindlink while running toward that exact area. It didn’t take long for him to respond. “What? What is she doing there?” Ethan asked and fro
Charlie furrowed his brows at Enzo, confused by the statement. “Mate? We don’t want anything with her…. We swear. We did nothing. This barn has been abandoned and—” “Then why are you standing guard outside her prison? Who hired you?” Charlie fell silent as he glanced at a wide-eyed Casey. “Nobod
Lila’s POV “Well, Lila. You were given a large amount of wolfsbane but not enough where we need to drain you. I think with proper rest and water intake, it’ll take care of itself,” Dr. Ryan, one of the pack Doctors, said after he finished examining me. He poked me with needles and gave me some ant
“This will never be your arena,” I growled, keeping my tone low and threatening. “After what you did, you’ll be lucky if you ever see the outside world again.” “Are you threatening me, Alpha?” Xander asked with a little humor in his eyes. I couldn’t help myself; I punched him again. I already call
“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
