Alpha Liam stepped into her cabin, and Nicole closed the door behind him. They stood facing each other, and neither of them said anything for a long moment.
Finally, Alpha Liam broke the silence. "I meant what I said earlier, Nicole," he said with sincerity in his voice. "I want to start afresh. I want us to put all of our past disagreements behind us and try to build something new. Maybe it'll set us free or lead to something new. We cannot be too sure."
Nicole's heart was racing. She didn't know what to say. On the one hand, she wanted to believe him. She wanted to believe that he was sincere and that he truly wanted to give them another chance, but on the other hand, she was afraid of getting hurt again.
"I don't know, Alpha Liam," she said finally, her voice barely above a whisper.
