Lila’s POV “Lila, what happened?” Becca asked as soon as I ran into the dorm room. My heart was racing, and I was on the verge of tears; I couldn’t believe what just happened. “I think I messed up,” I said as I took a deep breath, trying to steady my rapid heartbeat. “Messed up how e
“No; actually, I came here to say that I think it’s unfair that she must live off campus. She’d be able to get the best schoolwork done if she were here full-time. She’s already behind and she needs every advantage she can get.” Headmaster Prescott leaned back in her seat and took me in with her
Lila’s POV The finality of his tone made me realize that there was no point in arguing with him any further. His point was made, and his decision was final. I stayed silent, feeling all sorts of defeated while Tiffany Prescott bowed her head to him and apologized for the hundredth time. I f
“I don’t want to force students to—” “It seems you just don’t want to do your job,” he snapped, cutting her off once again. “This is a school, and you are the headmaster. The students don’t get to pick their roommates and we certainly aren’t going to deny a student a bed just because others are
“Are you serious?” She finally asked in nothing more than a whisper. I nodded my head once, biting my bottom lip before continuing. “Yes; the only issue is, your roommate will be Sarah.” She raised her brows, and I could see the confusion in her eyes. “Is that an issue? I’m not entir
Lila’s POV As soon as class ended, I went to the library to meet up with Kay. She was already there and hard at work when I arrived. She looked up at me and smiled when I sat down. “Ready to get to work?” I asked, grabbing one of her open notebooks and an extra pen. She nodded eagerly and showed
“That’s why everyone thinks fairies are nasty and mean creatures,” I said, feeling an overwhelming sense of sadness. “Yes,” she said, sighing. “Because we try to protect ourselves.” I looked at Rachel who was pale in the face as she stared at Kay. “I’m so sorry…” she whispered. “I didn’t know
Lila’s POV “Lila, are you okay?” Rachel asked, peering at me with a frown. I couldn’t take my eyes off Alex who sat at one of the tables across the dining hall. My face was red with fury. I hadn’t had a chance to confront him after Brianna told me he rejected her. I certainly wasn’t going to let
“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
