Full Moon Curse (by Dream) novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52

He doesn’t say anything for a minute then he sighs, “I brought you here, to this exact spot because it’s a reminder to me. To see you sitting here… It tells me, everything I did was for nothing. Everything we both, but especially you, went through was in vain. You still broke through my resolve. You still made me care about you, regardless of me trying not to… I believe you being here, in this spot where I fell apart, proves that we were always meant to stay together. That no matter what we went through, us being together, as friends or more I don’t know, but we were always going to end up here.”

I stare at the sky, trying to blink away the tears. Walker had said something similar, that I was meant to be with them. What if it’s all true, some divine intervention is making sure we’re where we are supposed to be. That I’m supposed to be apart of their group. I’m not sure if that makes the last six years of my life worse or what. If Liam hadn’t decided it was better for us both if we weren’t friends, where would we be now? But I can see how much the last six years have hurt him, how much he regrets them. It’s hard to stay mad, when he truly thought he was doing what was right for both of our sakes. He knew we’d end up together, and with him as an Alpha we wouldn’t have been able to stay together. Rarely are humans mated to wolves and even more rarely is it to an Alpha. But now he believes that the Goddess is showing him we were always going to end up together, that we had meant at a young age for a reason.

I finally look back over at him, after a long silence. He’s watching me, trying to read me, I look around at the field. I think back about everything, I never hated him. Even after everything I had went through. I had trouble trusting him, but that’s to be expected. He went through his own trauma when it came to us, I wasn’t the only one suffering, even though it felt like I was alone. If he’s right, it won’t matter how long I hold onto this grudge that weighs so heavily on my heart, if he’s right, we’ll always end up back here, together.

“Okay.” I finally say, and he looks at me questioningly. “Okay?” I give him a small chuckle, “Okay, I understand. We’ve had this pull towards each other since we were kids. No matter how hard I would try, I was never able to hate you. I agree with you, I don’t think after everything that has happened, I should be able to feel that way. I think maybe we were always going to end up here, together. I think I need to let go of this grudge that tries to pull me under whenever I get close to you guys. I want to try… Try and move past all the pain, and try to get to a better place with you guys.” I finish and he smiles. “I couldn’t ask for anything more. Thank you, Amy. Thank you, for even considering giving us a real shot.” Liam says and I go sit next to him. He puts his arm around my shoulders and pulls me closer. Goddess, I didn’t realize how cold it had gotten until I feel his warmth envelopes

All we hear are the crickets, as we sit in silence looking at the stars again. “Liam, I’m really sorry if I upset you earlier when we went into the tunnel.” I say, feeling bad especially after this amazing night he’s given me.” Don’t you dare apologize. I understand your resistance. I just need to do better at proving I would never hurt you. I want to be the person you run to, to feel safe. The person you trust, without doubt. I want to be that person for you again, Amy.” He says quietly. I lean up and look back at him, he looks determined to do just that.

I don’t know what comes over me, if it’s everything he’s shared that night, or if it’s the fact that I’m willing to really give this a shot. But I put my hand on Liam’s cheek and pull his lips towards mine. He grabs the wrist of the hand I have on his face and pauses before we reach each other. “Are you sure, Amy.” He asks breathlessly, his eyes searing into mine. I nod once and his lips are on mine. The kiss sends my whole body boiling as he pulls me closer to him. He lays me down gently and continues the kiss from on top of me. My whole body shivers with the need he’s filling me up with. But after what feels like an eternity of pure bliss he pulls away. “Come on, let’s get you home.”
