She nuzzled his neck to let him know she was here. His arms got even tighter around her as he buried his face in her hair. She felt a sob wrack his body and she knew he was finally letting out all the emotions he'd had to keep locked away since he was little. She held him tight as he let out all of his vulnerabilities and insecurities. All of his sadness, grief, lost love, anger, and finally acceptance followed from him. She felt every emotion and she silently cried with him. This wasn't about her. It was about helping her mate and letting him know she would always be there.
When he finally calmed down, he pulled back and kissed her softly. She couldn't help but smile as she felt the happiness and love through their bond. He was everything she had always wanted. He was a loving mate with a fierce loyalty and protectiveness. She let the love she felt for him release into the bond. His smile was her reward.
