Xenia breathed in deeply as she stared deep into Darius's eyes. His reassurances might've been partly wishful thinking, but simply hearing his voice had soothed some of her fears. It was as if him being there for her was more than enough for her to overcome all problems. That with her mate by her side, even the world would bow to their feet in an attempt to appease them.
"Thank you…" she breathed out, her gaze locked into his eyes, partly roaming down to his lips. "You've always… Always been there for me…"
"It's my prerogative as your mate to do so, my love," Darius whispered out. "There might be times where I'm not by your side, but rest assured that I'll always come running once you need me."
