ZAIN
I ripped myself away from the door like it had burned me.
Which, in a way, it had.
Every inch of me was tight with need, my muscles coiled and aching from holding back. My wolf clawed at the surface, howling, claim her, claim her, claim her, and it took everything I had not to turn back around and give in.
But I didn't.
I stormed down the hallway, my steps loud, angry, echoing through the silent pack house like thunder.
I needed air.
Space.
Sanity.
The second I hit the back doors, I shifted—bones snapping, fur bursting from skin—and took off into the trees like hell was on my heels.
Because maybe it was.
Maybe she was.
