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
As I was pressed against the wall, my heart was racing so fast I thought it was going to beat out of my chest and my entire face was hot. I wasn’t afraid though. Instead, I laughed as my soft lips found the sweet spot on my neck and began to kiss and lick. “Enzo,” I chuckled as his lips found
Lila’s POV My alarm went off at 7 a.m. on the dot. I almost took it and threw it across the room, but I knew today was a very important day and I needed to be up early to prepare for it. I certainly wasn’t prepared already despite Rachel and Becca hassling me about it. “Wake up, sleepy head!”
Once I was done in the shower, I stepped out of the tub and wrapped my body in a warm towel. I stared at myself in the mirror with a frown; I looked tired and worn out. My hair lay soaked across my shoulders and down my back and my face was a bit paler than usual. It was probably because of the wo
Lila’s POV I was amazed at how many people were at the assembly hall; students were lined up outside the doors, waiting for them to unlock so they could enter. It was the entire school basically; I knew this was a mandatory event for everyone, but I didn’t think they’d all be here at the same time
I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat and tried desperately not to overthink things. Sarah chuckled into the mic and waved at the cheering audience. “Oh, please. You guys are too much,” she laughed. “But it’s time to get serious. You all deserve a president who isn’t afraid to get di
Third Person POV “I got the raven’s feather you requested,” Douglas, one of the gammas assigned to her said as he held up the large black raven’s feather. That was the last ingredient Jazzy needed to cast her spell. “Perfect,” she said, snatching it out of his clutches. “I’m going to need more of
“I need everyone to calm down,” Headmaster Prescott shouted to them. “I will get to the bottom of this.” “I already know what happened,” A familiar voice spoke up through the crowd. Scott walked through the audience and toward the headmaster, though his eyes were fixed on Sarah. “She did somethin
“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
