Lila’s POV I stared at Alpha Jonathan with shock. Everybody in the room was silent and Sarah looked like she was about to cry. She wrapped her arms around her body like she was trying to hold herself together. I heard a low growl coming from Brody and I knew he was close to shifting. His wolf wa
After what felt like an eternity, my father finally stepped aside, allowing them to pass. Once they were gone, Enzo finally released Brody who was laying limp on the ground, staring at the door. Tears pooled in my eyes, and I rushed to him, touching his back gently. Enzo tensed when I made conta
Third Person POV Rachel’s brain hurt as she struggled to open her eyes. She barely had any memory of what had happened, other than the fact that she thought she had found her mate. But she had no idea where she was and what had happened after that. As she wiggled her fingers, she realized there
“You were stabbed in the stomach,” she explained gently. “By someone named Rodrick. Does that name sound familiar? I guess he’s a professor at your school?” Rachel’s heart fell deep into her stomach. Rodrick… the hybrid professor and vampire dorm advisor. It was he who stabbed her. He was also h
Lila’s POV Enzo took it upon himself to take me directly to the hospital while the others stayed at the packhouse. My heart was racing wildly against my ribcage. I was excited to see Rachel again, but it sounded like she needed to speak with me urgently. I worried about what it was she needed to
She looked almost amused by my words at first. “He’s a hybrid,” she reminded me. “Which means he has a wolf inside of him too.” I knew she was right, but I still didn’t want to believe it. “He also stabbed you,” I said, my brows knitting together. She was quiet as her cheeks turned a strange
Lila’s POV The drive back to the packhouse was quiet. I was in a daze for most of it; still trying to wrap my mind around what I had just found out. Despite everything that’s happened this week, Alpha Jonathan still wanted to hold a banquet. I thought he would have canceled it by now. But appare
“Enzo…” I whispered; my lips parted slightly as he kissed me. The kiss was short but incredibly intimate. He pulled back, leaving me wanting so much more. But then I watched as his body transformed and he shifted into his wolf. His large dark wolf towered over me and howled up at the moon before f
“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
