I didn't sleep that night.How could I? Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Alpha Lucian's silver gaze. I felt his finger tracing my jaw. I heard his voice: You'll be mine. Completely and utterly mine."This is wrong," I whispered to the darkness of my bedroom. "This is all wrong."My wolf disagreed. She'd been restless all night, pacing inside my mind, wanting to go back to him.He wants us, she purred. The Alpha wants us."He wants to control us. There's a difference."Is there?I threw off my blankets and got out of bed. It was five in the morning, still dark outside. I needed to run. I needed to clear my head.I stripped off my pajamas and shifted, letting my white wolf burst free. The change was painful—it always was now, after the broken bond—but I gritted my teeth through it.Once in wolf form, I slipped out through the back door and into the woods.The forest was quiet this early, peaceful. I ran hard, pushing my body to its limits, trying to outrun my thoughts.It didn't work.
