[center][b][i]"Sam, I would like you to become my beta. If you will accept."[/i][/b][/center]

Sam listened to Jaii's words, before realizing the actual depth of them. They resonated in Sam's mind a moment, echoing in the background of his conscious understanding, until he finally took hold of reality once more. He almost couldn't speak, but he stood from the seat, while stepping forward once and standing behind Rhea's figure while looking down to Jaii. His lips curled, almost as if to try and pull the words from inside jaw out, but they only parted to silence a moment. He looked at the battered and bruised boy, before finally speaking aloud, to the entire present company. 

"I am honored, and will happily accept, but there are certainly more applicable and deserving members among us of the position. I would never deem myself greater then them, and I would not want to accept this position knowing there are others better fitted for it. If it is what you want, I will happily accept, for you, for myself, but most of all for the pack. I will take it as a duty, not a title, it will be an honor and a code to protect as Beta." He responded and explained while placing his hands lowered hands on Rhea's shoulders comfortingly. Sam stared at the man, before turning his gaze to the various people among the room, and then down to the back of Rhea's head as she loomed over Jaii with her magic. His heart quickened and his muscles tightened under the pressure of the moment.
