“Who has a meeting?” I froze when I heard Enzo’s voice at the door; Val perked up, as did Cassidy-Ann. Enzo looked curiously between the two of us with his right brow raised. “Oh, hello, Alpha Enzo,” Cassidy-Ann said, batting her eyes. “I’m having a banquet tonight and I was just asking Lila i

Lila’s POV “I have nothing to say to you,” I said between my teeth. “What are you even doing here?” “Everybody has been talking about this event for weeks,” Matty answered with a shrug. “I’d be stupid if I didn’t come.” “Then go and enjoy the banquet. I’m working,” I told him as I turned away.

“So would I.” We both gave one another amused looks before I heard Cassidy-Ann calling my name to tend to some possible customers. “I have to get to work,” I said to him. “But enjoy the banquet.” … Enzo’s POV If I could go five minutes without Cassidy-Ann hitting on me, that would be great

Lila’s POV Was he laughing? I had never seen Enzo laughing before and for some reason, it was warming my heart immensely. He had a really nice smile and an even better laugh. Enzo was also a very good dancer, and I never took him for someone who could dance. He never did this kind of thing

Everybody clapped and my face grew hot. I had no idea I was selling some of my artwork. I thought they would just be on display. “Are you the same Lila that lives in Elysium? Of the Nova Pack?” Someone else asked. I heard some gasping at his question and others silenced completely as they wait

Lila’s POV I was in complete shock that Leroy was offering me a real scholarship to this school. He had a look on his face that made me believe every word he was saying. It was the sincerity that tugged at my heart, and I knew at that moment that I needed to make a real decision. “I’m not sure w

My mother lived her life as a rogue by choice with other rogues. She was a Volana that stayed in hiding and the best way for her to remain hidden was in rogue territory. Connie knew this information. So, for Connie to ask my mother to go to a busy airport in front of that many people, it infuriated

Lila’s POV I didn’t like Connie, but I never wanted something terrible to happen to her. Not like this. There was a void in Enzo’s eyes, and I knew something was seriously wrong; he had just gotten terrible news and my heart ached for him. I stared at him for a moment, wondering what could be wr
