Lila’s POV Today was the big day; my art piece was going to be shown to hundreds of people and I had never been more nervous in my entire life. My heart was racing rapidly in my chest as I stared myself over in the mirror that hung in my dorm room. I wore a casual evening gown and kept my hair do

“I… I don’t know what to say,” I breathed, staring between her and my father. This almost felt undeserving after what happened this past week, but I was in such awe I could hardly form words. “Say you’ll accept,” Cassidy-Anne said with a fond smile. “I wouldn’t want anyone else to be my assistant.”

Lila’s POV Everything happened so fast; my heart was racing at lightning speed as Enzo lifted me onto the sink. Instinctively, I wrapped my legs around him; mainly to keep myself from falling off the sink, but also because it just felt right. I felt him between my legs, pressing himself against me

Enzo’s POV “You know, Enzo. You aren’t a bad drinking partner,” Alpha John said with a drunken slur as he slapped me on the back of my shoulder. I could smell the whisky on his breath, and it made me cringe. I’ve only had a couple of beers, so I was far from drunk. But I couldn’t say the same for

Lila’s POV Brody was asking me to the school dance? I would be lying if I said I wasn’t taken by surprise. I honestly didn’t even think I was his type. I stared at him for a moment longer before speaking my answer. “I would prefer to just go to the dance alone,” I told him. I watched his face g
