I only sighed and shook my head as I stared after him. I knew for certain I was going to regret this. …. “How long have we been sitting here?” Becca asked, slouching in her seat, and staring up at the clock that ticked on the wall. Brody, Becca, and I sat in the student lounge with a bunch o
Lila’s POV “You want to become a committee member?” I asked, staring up at the gorgeous-looking vampire with what must have been disbelief written all over my face. I’m sure Becca and Brody both looked about the same. “Does it look like I’m joking?” She asked, rolling her eyes. “I suppose no
“Two,” I answered. “We lost the other two from last year. So far, we have you two, Rachel if she ever wants to show up, Kayla, Skylar, and me. To be a full committee we need at least 8 members, but ideally, I’d like 10.” We stayed silent for a short while; I was so lost in my own thoughts that I d
Enzo’s POV “You returned late last night,” Alpha Jonathan said as he sipped his mug of coffee. I almost forgot he was here; almost. “I had things to deal with in my pack,” I muttered, pouring myself a cup of coffee as well. “I know that curfew doesn’t apply to faculty members, but you really
“Rachel, do you smell that?” I asked, still keeping my eyes on her. Her body visibly tensed. “I don’t smell anything, Professor,” she said, running her fingers through her hair. “But I need to go. I’ll see you later.” I said nothing as she took off running toward the dormitory. I stared at t
Lila’s POV “It feels so good to run!!!” Val cooed excitedly after we completed our 4(th) and final lap. By the time I shifted back into my human form, I was panting and breathless. I quickly ran to the side of the field and put my clothing back on. Most wolves were used to being naked around one
“8 pm? Why so late?” She asked. “We have a vampire on the committee, and it works better for her,” I answered. This time, Sarah did laugh, but it was dry and humorless. “You convinced a vampire to join the student committee?” She asked, “How’d you manage that?” “Actually, she wanted to join.
Lila’s POV Enzo’s question stayed with me for the rest of the day. We didn’t talk much more about it during class but told each other we would try to meet up afterward and talk about it some more. But I knew he was right; something had been off about her. She wasn’t her normal self and she’s been
“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
