Leia’s POV
I could not breathe in that room.
The walls felt too close, the silence too loud, and the weight in my chest too heavy to bear. I felt like I was intruding in other people’s spaces, like I didn’t belong in this pack.
Every thought circled back to the same place, the same faces, the same humiliation that refused to loosen its grip on me.
Before I could change my mind, I slipped out through the back of the Alpha house and made my way toward the tree line and stripped.
The moment my feet touched the cool earth beneath the forest canopy, I let go.
“Tania,” I whispered.
My silver-white wolf surged forward eagerly, as if she had been waiting for this moment. The shift came quickly, almost desperately, bones rearranging and muscles stretching as I surrendered control to her.
