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 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.

Lila’s POV I returned home, feeling a rush of adrenaline. I had never felt as exhilarated as I did since shifting and running through the forest in my wolf form. I was expecting to see Enzo when I returned to the packhouse, but he wasn’t anywhere in sight. “His car is gone,” my father said, peeri

The last time I saw her was a few months ago; I made it a point to visit her when I could. “I informed you as soon as I knew for sure who she was,” Ethan tried to explain, following me as I made my way toward one of the doctors. “I didn’t want to worry you for nothing and it’s not like I’m that fam
