“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
“A Volana vessel?” I croaked. “Why me?” She raised her brows at me as if she was genuinely surprised that I didn’t know the answer. “Because you are the strongest Volana to ever exist,” she answered, narrowing her eyes at me. “Which means, she can create the strongest vessel to ever exist.” Th
Enzo’s POV Selene grabbed my arm and pulled me up the stairs of the dungeon, leaving Xander behind to rot in his cell. Good riddance, I thought my myself. He was a crazy man, and we shouldn’t have been humoring him for as long as we had been. He’s been talking out of his ass since the day he s
A figure floated through the opening and toward us; I stepped back, on alert, though my wolf was oddly calm. It took me a moment to realize what was happening, and then Aura’s glowing and bright face came into view. She hovered above us with a small smile on her lips as she looked at Selene. “He
Third Person POV “Add another pound to these weights,” Xander huffed to his spotter. There were gasps around the gym as others took notice that this was the heaviest, he had ever benched. Actually, it was the heaviest anyone had ever benched. “Are you sure?” His spotter asked, nervously lookin
“Alpha Drake,” Xander greeted. “Luna Sophie.”“Just the couple we were wanting to see,” Sophie said with a pleasant smile. “Are you both free this evening?” “Yes,” Camillia was the one to answer. “We were planning on spending it together. Is everything alright?” “Oh yes,” Sophie answered. “We wer
Third Person POV Xander watched as Alpha Drake's face fell. Eloise had just explained that the strongest Volana, born for good, is to be sacrificed to create a vessel that will become the strongest Volana, born for evil. “Selene…” Drake whispered, looking at Sophie who returned the same worried
“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
