Once upon a time, I delighted in violence for its own sake, while she sought to prevent those like me from causing harm. Fate cruelly took my first love, and now, as it seems to conspire against me, I'm on the brink of losing my second chance with Adriana. I mistakenly thought she was my redemption, a beacon of light after leaving my dark past behind. I believed she represented my transition into a better life. However, I was mistaken. In the world of wolves, atonement isn't enough; to absolve my past, I must face more challenges. Many rival Alphas seek revenge, and though Adriana stands by me, ready to fight my battles, I cannot bear the thought of her defending my wrongdoings. She deserves a true hero, someone virtuous who can save others, not the selfish Alpha I've become, willing to sacrifice everything to shield her. Even if it means sacrificing my own path to redemption. This excerpt comes from the third book in the "Alpha's Guardian" series, focusing on Liam and Adriana. To fully understand their story, it's recommended to read the first two books, which provide deeper context on their characters.
