We do not say anything more for several minutes. We stand there and look at each other. I lift my hand slowly, catching a strand of her hair, and put it behind her ear. Her body is shivering when my fingers touch her cheek and sparks run through my fingers, and I know she felt it too.

I gently put my hands on her face to make sure she doesn't look away.

"Even I get worried about the responsibility I have on my shoulders, but I have my Beta, my family, and now I gave you. And you will have me and my family." I promise her and she smile.
