Venessa’s POV
He looked at me then truly looked at me with tears shining in his eyes.
“Did you love me in that life?” he asked quietly.
I nodded as my tears fell freely.
“With all my heart,” I whispered. “I loved you with everything I had.”
He bowed his head.
“I am sorry, Venessa,” he said, his voice thick with emotion. “I am sorry for everything I did to you in that life. I am sorry for not protecting you. For not believing you. For choosing her over you and hurting you the way I did. I am so sorry.”
I stared at him, stunned not by the apology, but by the fact that he believed me.
“You… you believe me?” I asked softly.
He lifted his gaze to mine.
“There is no way anyone could fabricate a lie like that,” he said. “I can feel your truth, Venessa. You belong to my pack remember?”
