Chapter 78 Prove You Love Me

• Alpha Edward's POV
• Storming into my room, I walked over to the bar, took out a bottle of dry gin from the shelf, and poured myself a generous amount. The burn of the alcohol as it went down my throat was a welcome distraction from the turmoil inside me. My hands trembled as I clutched the glass, my mind racing with a storm of emotions. How did it come to this? The question echoed in my mind. I had lost so much—my mate, my son's childhood, the trust of my best friend. And all because of the rage and deception that had blinded me. My reflection in the mirror behind the bar looked haunted, a man broken by his choices. The memory of Amanda’s words pierced me again. She had every right to hate me. I had been a monster, driven by pain and a misguided sense of justice. But underneath it all, I was still a father. Liam was my son, and I won't let go of him, not now that I knew the truth.
• I drained the glass and poured another, trying to drown my guilt and sorrow. But no amount of alcohol could erase the reality of what I had done or the pain bubbling inside of me. I knew I was wrong; I had made terrible mistakes, but it wasn’t my fault. I'm human too, and can be driven by emotions. But I understand that if I wanted any chance of being a part of Liam’s life, I had to change. I had to prove to Amanda, Liam, and myself that I was worthy of being his father.
