Liam's POV:
As my eyes fluttered open in the darkness, the first thing I noticed was the muffled noises drifting through the open window.
Glancing at the clock, the angry red lights flashed at 3:07 AM.
Seriously?
I groaned and pulled the pillow over my head, hoping the sounds would stop and let me drift back to sleep.
But after a few minutes of intermittent barking and talking, my frustration took over.
Throwing off the blankets with a huff, I swung my legs over the side of the bed and rubbed the sleep from my eyes.
The wood floors were cold on my bare feet as I padded over and peered through the glass window.
The sky was heavy and dark with thick clouds, not a single star peeking through.
By the pale glow of the security lamps, thick mist swirled around the edges of the forest and yard.
As my eyes adjusted, I could make out several shadowy figures moving around below near the rear gate.
