Belle felt her heart swell, overflowing with warmth at Rohan's reassurance. She knew she loved him so deeply she could give anything just to be with him until the end of her human life, but doubts and insecurities were constant thoughts that involuntarily crept into her mind from time to time. There were days when it all felt too good to be real, and she feared that a day might come when he wouldn't want her anymore.
Especially if she turned out to be something entirely bad.
In all her years growing up, Rohan was the first person to ever pay this much attention to her, to truly care for her and give her everything she needed without making her feel like she had to earn it, without making her feel like a burden on his shoulders the way her own family had always made her feel. She had always come last to them, so much that she'd dimmed herself unworthy. She had never been a first to anyone... until now.
