I froze as we reached the front room of the packhouse. As soon as I was inside the house, I smelled the metallic scent of blood. It made the packhouse reek. I turned to Ethan, trying to keep control of my wolf. But it was growing more difficult with each passing moment. “And then what?” I asked wi
Enzo’s POV I turned to Alpha Bastien who looked pale but determined at the same time. There were a lot of questions that we both had, but I had a feeling we weren’t going to get them from Rachel. She was clearly traumatized and speaking in circles. She kept murmuring something that neither of us
Alpha Jonathan’s eyes widened with shock and at first, I didn’t understand why. But then I realized the mistake I’d made. Shit. “Lila is your mate?” Jonathan asked, taken aback. “Since when?” “It’s not important,” I muttered, shoving past him to leave the room. “As the guy who OWNS the schoo
I opened my mouth to argue, but Selene grabbed my arm. “I’d feel better if you came with us. I need to speak with you anyway,” she said sounding almost urgent. “What is it?” Bastien asked before I could. She gave him a small smile and then kissed his cheek gently. “Go search for our daughter
Lila’s POV “Are you sure this cage is strong enough to keep her locked up?” “Jazzy said it was. We have to trust her. If we don’t, she will kill us like she did the others.” “Yeah, but this Volana is supposed to be the strongest of them all. This cage doesn’t look all that strong. What if she
I failed my mate. When we got back to my packhouse Dee was the first one to greet me. I shouldn’t have been surprised that she already knew what had happened. Word travels around fast. “You haven’t been able to find her?” Dee asked, her voice cracking as held back a cry. “No, but we will. I ha
“I can’t tell you, Luna,” he told her, which was predicted. “Can you tell me about darkness?” Xander’s face fell and his eyes widened, but he said nothing so she continued. “Darkness took my daughter, and I want her back. If you aren’t working with it, then tell me about it.” He opened his m
Lila’s POV When I came through again, there was a bright light shining in my eyes. I winced away; pain seared through my body and hissed in agony. I jerked away from the firm hands that were grasping me. I felt a blow against the side of my face, and I knew it had to have been someone’s hand. So
“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
