I had to pretend he was just my professor. I’m sure it was difficult for him as well considering his wolf was very active. I still couldn’t shift into my wolf, so we mainly stuck with the combat portion of the class. He was a lot gentler toward me than Xander was and part of me felt a bit angered
Lila’s POV “You should be practicing your own speech,” Alpha Jonathan said through his teeth as he stared down at his daughter. “Instead of harassing the very students you are supposed to be representing.” Sarah had gone completely pale and the rest of us wouldn’t dare speak. I don’t think any of
“Because I believe we can help each other,” he said, leaning back in his seat and gazing up at her. She was a pretty little thing with dark swirls of curly hair and emerald eyes. Her cherry red and full lips were pursed like she was kissing something, but her neatly timed eyebrows were furrowed tog
Lila’s POV “Shouldn’t you be writing your speech for the election? It’s only tomorrow,” Rachel asked, staring down at me with narrowed eyes. I sat, cross-legged, on the couch in the student lounge with my sketchpad on my lap and I peered up at her with a frown. “I’m designing the border
We had no fairies at this school though; fairies aren’t always known for their niceness despite what popular stories might say. Most of them couldn’t stand shifters and other creatures of the night. They were selfish and if you got too close to one, they could, and most do, harm with their magic. Th
Enzo’s POV “Someone has to have seen where she’s gone,” I seethed into the phone, clutching it with so much strength my knuckles were turning white, and the phone began to crack in my grip. My Beta, Ethan had just mindlinked me to tell me that the dark witch, Jazzy, had escaped. I called the
She was glowing like an angel and had large wings that expanded from her back. She used magic to shield me and told me to run while she dealt with the pesty rogues. I did as she asked and when I got home, my mother scolded me for running off on my own. After I explained what happened and what had sa
Lila’s POV I wasn’t going to lie; I was hurt. I was hurt at the fact that Enzo, the one who was supposed to be in my corner and have faith in me, was telling me I needed the help of gammas to keep me safe. I trained alongside gammas my entire life; I trained alongside my father. There wasn’t
“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
