I giggled like a schoolgirl as we rushed into his bedroom and he wrapped his arms around my waist, kissing me all over the back of my neck. My back was buried in his tight embrace, and I felt warm and loved wrapped in his arms. “I’ve missed you,” he whispered against my ear, nibbling on my lobe
Lila’s POV Enzo quickly sat up in bed and looked at me with narrowed eyes. I sat up as well, trying to maintain a strong composure, but I always felt so weak when he looked at me like that. I felt my face reddening from the intensity of his stare. “I’m not taking you to see that monster,” he
These were some of the questions I needed to ask him, but as we got closer to the dungeon door, the questions were quickly escaping my mind. Enzo kept his hand entwined with mine and I stayed close to his side. My father stood outside the dungeon doors and his arms were folded across his che
Lila’s POV “You knew I was going to come see you?” I asked, eyeing him carefully. I tried not to be repulsed by his appearance, but it couldn’t be helped. He looked awful and it turned my stomach. “I had hope,” he said in a barely audible tone. I could tell that speaking hurt him; his lu
After a pause, Enzo nodded and stepped away. I knew he was mindlinking my father to tell him about the change of plans. Once he was done, he looked back at me. “So, who do you think this enemy is?” Enzo asked and I could see the worry in his eyes. I thought about it for a moment. I knew
Enzo’s POV It was a long drive back to the jail; most of the drive was silent which was to be expected. Alpha Emmet was upset about his son being falsely accused of something he didn’t do. Murder. The problem was that Scott confessed to the crime. But it’s come to our realization that he
“His son is a murderer,” Alpha Jonathan said through his teeth; I could feel his growing anger from through the phone. “Even so, that’s still his son,” I said in return. “How would you feel if it were your daughter?” “It’s not my daughter—” “But if it was and you weren’t able to see her,
Lila’s POV My heart was racing in my chest to the point where I thought it was going to explode from my flesh. I got up from my bed quickly and stopped the note on the ground, not wanting to touch it. I’m not sure why I had such an uneasy feeling about this note; how did it even get into my
“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
