Alpha Liam's POV Memories surged into my mind, fast, uninvited and unstoppable. I remembered the day the ritual failed. I remembered the chaos that happened after. I remembered the screams and the blackout. And most importantly, I remembered how we woke up in the middle of the woods like two strangers. I was a fool for not recognizing her. I was a fool for not taking her seriously. I was a fool for pushing her away. I was a fool for watching her suffer because of me. I was a fool for everything. Damn… she had been right in front of me all along and I didn't see it. Why, Liam? Why? Despite being in front of me, I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know what I was supposed to feel. Relief? Anger? Regret? All of it collided inside me, leaving me standing there, frozen between too man
