Ayla swore softly under her breath, pressing herself into the cold, rough wall of the corridor. "What the hell?" Footsteps echoed down the hall as her heart continued to race. She looked around the corner just in time to catch a glimpse of Ethan walking with Grayson and Luca, his Beta and Delta.
One look into his face and the knot was already constricting her stomach once more. Memories of that night she had spent in Liam's arms swam in her head, and shame wrestled uncomfortably in her chest. She simply could not stand to look at him anymore, not after all this.
Ayla took a deep, firm breath as her heart went on a crazy flight. "What am I doing?" she muttered, closing her eyes for a second. "I cannot keep up in this manner with him."
It would just be too much to bear, this image
