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
She looked at the monitor as she placed the wand thing on my stomach. I can’t imagine there’d be a heartbeat just yet, or maybe there would be. I didn’t know how any of this worked; I was still young, and I wasn’t ready to have a baby yet. Let alone two of them. I wished Enzo was with me; I wished
Enzo’s POV It took less than 30 minutes for Alpha Bastien to join us back at my packhouse. Selene explained everything to him while the shield was still in place. Bastien ran his fingers through his hair, shaking his head as she explained everything to him. “So, we need to find Jazzy,” Bastien
Xander went to open his mouth to speak again, but my words cut him off. “Sarah,” I said quickly; Xander met my eyes and we both shared a look of understanding. “Want to share your thoughts?” Bastien asked, sounding even more annoyed. “Sarah is the vessel,” I said, looking at him. “That’s what
Lila’s POV Another sleepless night had passed as I lay awake in the dark and cold cell. I kept my hand on my stomach, protectively. I had twins in my belly, and I needed to do what I could to protect them. I wasn’t going to go down without a fight. It wasn’t just my life and the life of my pup
We stood there, waiting for Selene to return with Hazel. She had to permit Xander to enter the barrier. Standing beside him felt awkward to me because this was a guy, I had spent a lot of time torturing. It felt unnatural that he was on our side now, but I was grateful that he wasn’t working again
Enzos POV Hazel walked across her small kitchen and rummaged through her cabinet until she found a wooden bowl. She returned to the table and placed it in the center before going to the other side of her kitchen and rummaging through some drawers until she uncovered a bag of coffee grinds. She g
“I think they are planning on draining this Volana of all her blood and having that other girl consume it,” the other rogue said, shrugging. “Something like that.” “What is the point of creating another Volana?” The other one muttered. “Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?” “Something about creating
“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
