Liam's P.O.V.
Vanished.
Mai was gone.
The second she disappeared with Eldur, my body moved before my brain even processed it. One second, I was frozen in shock—the next, I was sprinting, feet pounding against the cold marble floor.
My heartbeat thundered in my ears, drowning out the gasps of startled pack members as I shoved past them.
I needed to get to the Alpha. Now.
The hallways blurred around me, but I didn't stop. Couldn't. Every second wasted felt like another step further Mai was being dragged away.
By the time I reached Alpha Lucian's office, my lungs were burning, my breath ragged. I didn't bother knocking. I just shoved the door open.
The room fell silent.
Alpha Lucian sat behind his massive oak desk, sharp eyes narrowing at the sudden intrusion. Beside him, Luna Teresa stiffened, arms crossed, her jaw tight. Elizabeth—Mai and Ollie's teacher—stood nearby, mid-conversation, her expression darkening the second she saw me.
Three sets of eyes locked onto mine.
