Lila’s POV Hazel instantly knelt to the ground and bowed her head low in respect to the guardian. The rest of us did the same. The guardian, Aura, scanned us with her beautiful blue eyes with an expression unreadable, yet filled with serenity. She was beautiful and fierce at the same time; it was
Lila’s POV I was completely frozen and dumbstruck over this news. I was powerful enough to allow these strange orbs of light to protect us? They can feed off my powers alone? Will that drain me? Make me weak? Will I be able to continue feeding them for long? I had just gotten my abilities back; wh
Lila’s POV We all stood in our assigned places around the circle, staring up at the sky with gaping mouths. None of us said anything for a long while. I don’t think any of us could really believe what had just happened. We just spoke to the guardian of the earth! The protector of the grounds
Enzo was thinking the same thing because he stepped beside me, bowing his head to her in respect, and said, “Hazel, I’m so sorry for putting you in danger. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt and had to leave this village unprotected. We wouldn’t have needed Luna Selene’s help. For th
My face grew warm with heat and lust as the sparks flew between our connected lips. He tasted sweet against me, and I wanted so much more of him. Soon, all my worries and stresses were gone from my mind. At that moment, it was just Enzo and me. Then, he pulled away, but he remained only inches f
Lila’s POV “What. The. Actual. Fuck,” Sarah said as she stared wide-eyed and Enzo and me. My entire body was trembling as I took a step away; I wasn’t sure what I was planning to do. Part of me wanted to run in the opposite direction and take Enzo with me, but I knew that wouldn’t do any of us a
“Oh yeah; isn’t she grounded?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest. “She can’t be out here right now.” “We were just talking…” he murmured. “I needed to see her, so I snuck her out. I was just sneaking her back in.” “Seems we are all in an awkward situation,” Enzo said, giving Brody a wide
I raised my brows in surprise. “Really?” I asked hopefulness in my tone. Brody was grinning from beside her as she glanced at him; at that point, I saw her face redden as they made eye contact. “Yeah,” she muttered, looking back at me. “I didn’t see you and you didn’t see me. Okay?” This was
“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
