Neverwinter Forest I hear they're calling my name

That was not at all what she had expected him to say. She was stunned at first, offering only: Oh, um— That was a lot of responsibility, and, wow, she was honored that he had considered her. Beta hadn't really been on her radar; she did everything out of her loyalty to Mal and her desire to see their pack flourish. But beta? That was big. What if she failed miserably at it? But would he have asked her if he wasn't sure she would do the job well? She supposed she would be doing most of what she already did—patrolling, protecting the pack, helping Mal. So maybe she should push aside all of her stupid doubt and give him an answer, especially since she realized she had just been staring at him like an idiot for who knows how long. Yeah, of course, she finally answered. She didn't need to think about it. I would be honored to be beta, she added. She would take the job more seriously than any responsibility she'd ever had.
