" I am on my knees before you because we will always be equals, partners in all things. I hold your hand in mine, because we will always be together. I look into your eyes to see into the real you, and let you see into the real me. I pledge to take care of you, protect you, and cherish you for all time. "

― Laura Kaye , In the Service of the King (Vampire Warrior Kings, #1)
