It wasn’t something I wanted to think about right now. Soon, Enzo and my father joined us in the kitchen with their plates of food. “Dinner smells delicious, Dee,” Enzo said, sitting down beside me and giving me a gentle kiss. I knew he had just showered from the calm and soapy smell of his body.
Lila’s POV Enzo shut the door behind us as we entered his small house just outside the student campus. The faculty lived in a separate neighborhood where all the houses basically touched one another. Enzo got the house in the farthest corner, closer to the forest, so he was more hidden. I had snuc
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled myself closer to him, wanting to be as close as I could possibly be. He bent down and his lips touched mine, sending my heart into overdrive. I thought it was going to beat out of my chest. A world of color exploded around me as he deepened the kiss; his
His tongue circled my nipple while his teeth tugged at it playfully, making them harden within his mouth. I ran my fingers through his hair, massaging his scalp with my nails as he continued to play and tease my nipples. I felt an electric current coursing through my body, but it didn’t hurt. It fe
Lila’s POV I woke up early the next morning so I could sneak back into my dorm room and change my clothing. I also wanted to shower before my first class. But when I got back into my room, Rachel was sitting cross-legged on the couch and watching reruns of Friends. She frowned at me as I entered,
I was a terrible friend to her, and I had to bite the inside of my cheek to keep the tears from surfacing in my eyes. “How is she doing?” Rachel asked, and now her voice was a lot softer and filled with compassion. “She’s okay…” I lied; I still continue to lie even after how guilty I feel. What w
Lila’s POV It felt like we were staring at one another for what felt like an eternity. I wasn’t really sure what more to say, so I just stared down at my hands and tugged at my fingers nervously. “Mates?” Rachel was the first to speak. I looked up at them and saw that Becca stood frozen, her face
Also, if the board found out that we knew we had been mates since my birthday last year, then Enzo’s reputation would be ruined and everything he worked so hard for would be destroyed. Our relationship had to remain a secret until after I graduated and I’m no longer a student. “Yes,” I finally ans
“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
