Secrets

Mai's P.O.V.

I never thought I'd find peace. Not like this. Not in a sleepy town like Wood Falls.

Liam and I did everything together now. It was easy, natural. We woke up in the same house, on the same bed, worked at Becky's café, wandered the woods in the evenings, and fell asleep under the same roof at night. I no longer felt the need to keep my distance or guard myself. And the best part? The whispers in my head had finally fallen silent.

Because Liam was always by my side.

He didn't push me away anymore. He didn't look at me like the crazy person who used to always stalk him. Instead, we laughed, we talked, we lived—just the two of us in this little town. There were no judging eyes, no murmured warnings about the dangerous Alpha's daughter. Here, I wasn't the menace people whispered about. I was just Mai.

And Liam was mine.
