Pauline's POV
My fingers traced my lips as I relived that kiss with Logan for the hundredth time tonight. The memory sent shivers through my entire body, awakening something deep within me that I had never experienced before. Every nerve ending had come alive under his touch, as if I had been sleepwalking through life until that very moment.
The thought of what might happen if we went further made my cheeks burn. I forced myself to stop that dangerous train of thought before it could take root. Logan belonged to someone else. He was happy with Audrey, and I had no right to interfere with their relationship.
I needed to clear my head, and there was only one way to do that properly.
A run through the forest would help settle my restless wolf. She had been pacing inside me ever since that kiss, demanding release and freedom. With Aliya finally back in Apex, I wouldn't have to worry about constant supervision or questions about my whereabouts.
