Chapter 14 - Paige

After everyone left, I was afraid it was going to be awkward, but it isn't; it's charged. I can't believe he didn't fight back; what was he thinking? He barely defended himself. Why does his showing up for me make me feel so good? I feel like he wants me to know that our bond is deeper than our mate bond, and that this isn't some supernatural pull but a deep connection we have always had. As I am assessing his bruises, I watch as his muscles pull and tense; he is a work of damn art, a chiseled body I would never have expected from the nerdy boy I fell in love with all those years ago. As I'm tracing a bruise, Liam lays his hand on top of mine, bringing my attention from his gorgeous form to his eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Paige. For everything."

His words hit me hard. It's like a damn of emotion has finally opened up after being held back for years. I feel so vindicated to hear him say sorry at last, but I also feel sad for the hurt it once caused me. Tears spring to my eyes. The ability to control it is gone. I scoot back just a bit and try to wipe away the tears. He sounds so genuine when he says it.

Liam quickly closes the gap and pulls me into his arms. I wrap my arms around him like I did the night before and hold him tightly. He says sorry over and over again. He kisses the top of my head as I bury my face in his neck. It's like I can actually feel the guilt and pain he has been carrying for all these years, and it breaks my heart.

After gaining some semblance of control, Liam pulls back and cups my face, wiping away the tears that have fallen with his thumbs.

"What I did to you was wrong, Paige, and I am so sorry. I should never have said the things I said to you, joined in with the rest of the pack to ridicule and demean you. I have lived with the guilt for years, knowing that I have caused you so much pain. I know you might not be able to forgive me, but I need you to know that I am really sorry, and I regret ever being a part of it. I regret not standing up against everyone and standing with you." His voice wavers as he pours out his heart. The muscles in my throat are getting sore from trying to hold back my tears. He really means it. Placing my hands on top of his, which are still holding my face, I pull them down to my lap squeezing his hands in reassurance.

"I forgive you, Liam; I forgave you a long time ago. Now, don't get this confused: me forgiving you and forgiving the pack wasn't about taking the weight off everyone else, it was to take the weight off of me.
