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
“That doesn’t sound much better,” Drake growled, shaking his head again. “Eloise…” Sophie said calmly, stepping toward the prophet. “What do you propose we do?” Eloise thought about it for a moment and then her eyes widened. “Lila needs to learn to fight the impossible,” she said again. “She n
Lila’s POV I was shoved back into the cell like I was an animal. I couldn’t even begin to process what I was just told. I was pregnant? With twins?? I couldn’t be pregnant. Could I? I was on the pill, but I knew those weren’t 100% effective. But they were supposed to be close to it. At l
“But we still don’t know where Lila is,” I said impatiently. Max wasn’t going to remain calm for long; he was on the edge again, wanting to get back to Higala to search for our mate and I was about ready to forfeit my control over to him. Selene was still staring at Xander with an expression I cou
Lila’s POV I don’t remember when I fell asleep, but when I woke up, I saw a familiar face standing on the other side of the cell. Jazzy stood in front of me with her arms folded across her chest. She was staring at me like she was examining a science project. The healer, Dr. Hannah Laureen stood
We could have been in some kind of forest. There was machinery crowding some areas, but I couldn’t tell what they were for. I breathed in the musky scent of the warehouse but nearly gagged at the rotten smell. Was that old meat? It smelled like meat that’s been sitting and rotting. Maybe this
“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
