Jonathan glanced at the headmaster and narrowed his eyes at her. “Why are you still standing there? You obviously already orders,” he seethed. She paled. “Oh, right, sorry,” she said. “I’ll be back.” On that note, she left quickly. I almost felt bad for her; almost. If Lila w
Lila’s POV “Do you think she could have been possessed?” I asked, worried. Enzo looked at me for a short while before taking another look at the letter. I could see the worry and stress in his eyes, and it took everything I had not to reach out to him and wrap my arms around him. He open
“Okay,” I said, trying to keep the tears from forming in my eyes. “Who should accompany me?” “I was thinking of maybe Ethan. He’s my second in command and he could benefit your father. Plus, he’s skilled in combat as well and I trust him with my life” Enzo said. I nodded in return. “I li
Lila’s POV “Good evening, students. This is Alpha Jonathan. I know you’re not used to hearing me on the intercom, but Headmaster Prescott is a little busy right now. Unfortunately, with new facts and evidence we are reopening the murder cases and I’m enforcing another lockdown until further noti
“Tell me, girl. What is going on at the school right now,” she spoke in a nearly unrecognizable tone. There was a beat of silence, and then the small and frightened voice of Rachel, Jazzy’s recent vessel who has been taken over by Zagreus’s darkness, sounded from the purple orb. “T…they are
Lila’s POV When I heard the sirens, I knew something was seriously wrong. The last time I heard sirens there was a murder. My heart fell into my stomach as I watched Becca rush to the window of our dorm and peer down into the parking lot. “There’s an ambulance and a couple of cop cars,” she said
“I know,” I breathed. “But now she’s not and we can’t be either,” I told her, finally feeling the strength in my legs to move to her. I knelt beside her and placed my hand on her shoulder. “We can’t be here. We need to leave,” I told her, keeping my tone low and for her ears only. She kept her
Lila’s POV The walk to the parking lot felt like an eternity long. By the time we reached the lot and I saw my father in the distance, it took everything I had not to run to him. But I think I was the one who was keeping Becca from crumbling to the ground, so I remained by her side. However, whe
“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
