Trust

From the first moment Knuckles saw Beth, he had to have her. He saw the demons in her eyes, and the fear. There was no one else that would ever have the patience for a woman like Beth. She was broken and it would take time for her to heal. Knuckles waited, being the constant in her life, waiting for the time that she'd be strong enough to give him a chance.

That time is now.

Beth has loved Knuckles for a long time, drawn in by the patience he has shown her. She trusts him, and even though he has a reputation for being a dominant man, she's not afraid.

Even with Daisy breathing down his neck, Knuckles knows he's the best man to love and take care of Beth. She will be his old lady forever. Even as an outside source draws in a new threat, nothing can stop them from coming together. Knuckles will protect her with his very life.
