"Malakai, I do not know why fate has brought us together this way, but I am certain of one thing, you were meant to be by my side."
Malakai took a shaky breath, the weight of the words settling over him, filling him with a mix of pride and humility. "I will serve by your side, my Lord," he vowed, his voice steady despite the whirlwind of emotions within him. "With everything that I am."
