The plane was starting to fill up and slowly, I could see Dimitri starting to calm down. I knew him too well; This is what he did. He was a fighter. Never the one to sit on the sidelines, but be in the middle of the battle, bloody and bruised. He'd never fought for anything for himself up until this point though, and that worried me. As if he could hear my thoughts, he turned and met my eyes.
"The reason doesn't change anything Ben."
"You've never had a weakness before." I mumbled.
"Weakness." He laughed quietly. "Lily is not my weakness. She is my strength. My hope, my goodness, my heart and soul. She lifts me up, even when I was the one to bring her down. She's done more for me, and this pack, than I ever thought possible. She's worth fighting for, worth dying for."
I nodded slowly.
