Raze didn't answer Liam's question immediately, and the silence alone was enough to make Liam's heart sink.
He had already lost someone dear to him once before.
A person he hadn't wanted to admit he cared about as deeply as he did, until it was already too late. Losing them had left a mark that never truly faded, no matter how much time passed or how many battles he survived afterward.
But Safa was different.
Liam had never questioned how much he cared about her. He had never tried to hide it, even from himself. She had always been there, steady, supportive, fighting beside them even when the odds were impossible. If something had happened to her… if she was truly gone…
Liam didn't know what he would do.
Especially if the one responsible for her fate had already disappeared beyond reach.
