Mai's P.O.V.
I didn't sleep that night.
How could I?
Every time I closed my eyes, I felt the rush of the wind against my skin, the strength of Liam's wolf beneath me, the way he ran like nothing else in the world mattered. The way he let me hold on to him without hesitation. It was the first time I had ever felt weightless.
I turned in bed, hugging my pillow, my heart still drumming in my chest. Liam had given me a ride on his wolf's back. It was a dream come true. One I hadn't even known I wanted.
I rolled over, pressing my face into my pillow to smother my squeal. Was I actually giddy? Me? Mai Blackwood?
I almost felt embarrassed for myself.
I groaned, squeezing my eyes shut. Damn it, Mai, get it together! I was acting like some love-struck fool over a guy who had made it his life's mission to avoid me for years. It wasn't like that. It wasn't.
