I wanted to believe her, but something was telling me not to. Soon, Becca was wrapping an arm through mine. “Come on, Lila. Let’s get out of here,” she said, staring directly at Sarah who just glowered at her. I went with Becca without giving Sarah another look. By the time we were in the student
Lila’s POV“Why are you so surprised? You kicked ass in that class,” Becca said, much later in the evening as I packed my suitcase in my dorm room. I was getting ready to return home for the weekend. On Monday I would be going to Monstro, and I was incredibly nervous. “Yeah, but I didn’t think he

Enzo’s POV“Alpha Enzo, I need a favor from you,” Bastien said one night on the phone. “What’s up?” I answered, waiting for him to continue. “I’m a little worried about this trip Lila is going on. I can’t be there to protect her. She’s never been this far from home before. I know it’s a lot to ask
However, it was about to be Lila’s turn. I saved her for last. Looking over at Becca, I saw that she too was looking worriedly at the locker room. “Becca,” I called her over. She looked startled at first but then worriedly walked toward me. “It’ll be Lila’s turn soon. Can you make sure she’s ou
Lila’s POV“Did my father put you up to this?” I asked, staring at him with such shock. Val was instantly in a better mood as she cooed “I told you so.” “He might have mentioned not wanting you to go on this trip alone,” Enzo admitted. “I can’t believe he would do that,” I said, feeling a little

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
