Lila’s POV I hadn’t even realized I was cut until I saw the look on Enzo’s face when he told me I was hurt. Then I felt a small sting on my forehead and the blood trickling down the side of my face. His eyes were dark and fixated on my features. I’ve honestly had worse injuries; this was minor
I thought that was a waste of a first kiss; I didn’t know he was my mate at the time. But maybe— “What are you staring at?” I heard his deep, and almost husky, tone asking, bringing me out of my trance. I blinked a couple of times, meeting his eyes. My face warmed under the intensity of his gaze.
Lila’s POV “You don’t want a mate…” I continued, keeping my eyes on the back of my head; his entire demeanor had changed at that moment. “So, why haven’t you rejected me?” “Do you wish for me to do so now?” He asked, turning to glance at me. His face was hard to read; I wasn’t sure how to answer
My father frowned. “Thieves?” He asked, raising his brows. “Yes, there have been invasions from some street rats,” Enzo explained. My father motioned for Enzo to follow him inside. “Walk and talk with me; tell me everything.” Enzo went with him without hesitation. My mother stared after them w
Lila’s POV My legs were on autopilot. The thought of enjoying a large feast with my friends and family, with Enzo sitting in the guest bedroom, was unsettling in my stomach. I didn’t want to pretend that Enzo wasn’t here. I felt it would have been unfair to him. I knocked on the door to the room
My heart was racing against my chest; I was starting to get nervous. Or maybe I was just overly excited. I knew Val was eager to be released and stretch her legs. Most of those we had dinner with were standing outside as well. Except for the twin, and Uncle Don. Also except for Enzo who was nowhe
Lila’s POV I didn’t feel the pain at first; the cracking of my bones sounded through the night, echoing across the trees. The sound was a lot worse than I could have ever imagined. The sound was what made me wince at first. I caught the worried eyes of my mom as I heard more cracking; my arms were
“I’m better than okay,” I replied, finally able to catch my breath. Brianna, Uncle Blake, Aunt Sophie, and Uncle Aiden were all in their wolf forms as well. Each of them has different colors and different sizes. Brianna was quick to be by my side. “Let’s go for a run!” She finally said, excitedly.
“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
