Just Don't Prove Me Wrong

I won't let anything happen to her."

"If anything happens to her, it'll be your fault, Ash. You're the one who has brought her here. She did not want to be here, but you wanted her to be here with you and be your wife, your mate. 

Just make sure that you value her as one and take care of her. Save her with your life. She's..."

"...worth it," I finished for her.

"Yes. I know you'll save her. Just don't prove me wrong, son."

"I won't. You know I won't." Mother managed a smile.

I knew she was afraid, but she tried not to show it. She was always like this. She was strong. She would not back away. And I was proud to have someone like her as my mother. 

She was not just my mother. She was my friend as well. I could talk to her like I could talk to no one else and she understood me. She was straightforward with everything she said and even managed to give me that characteristic of hers.
