“He’s telling the truth, Bets.” Henry told her.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door it was Betty's father he came to get her deciding he didn't want her to get married to Lysander and wanted someone else.

”I’ll get that.” Lysander said, a little relieved by the interruption, before he headed to the door at a normal speed. He felt like he was in the way with all three of them in the room. Henry was right. She didn't want to go through with my idea… despite the fact that that woman tried to kill her. he sighed to himself as he opened the door. Of course she's mad at me.

The man looked at Lysander " I'm looking for Betty " he said Betty came down the stairs " dad?" Betty asked " come Betty I have a different man who you will marry" she said

Lysander blinked in surprise at seeing Betty's father at the door but was a bit more so at how blatantly the man was willing to pass Betty around like a trophy. ”Look, Mr. Strange now's really not a good time for any of whatever plans you think you may have.” he warned calmly, even though he was furious at him.

Henry came down the stairs behind Betty and was shocked by her father’s behavior. ”Bets, you know you don't have to go with him.” he whispered in the same soft tone he used earlier.

" you have no say in this " the man said to Lysander.

Lysander sighed and shook his head. ”No, you don't understand.” he trailed off. He was by no means afraid of this man but he had no idea how to tell him that his daughter, that he treated more like a bargaining chip that a person, was a newly turned vampire.

She stepped forward " daddy" she said " please Betty you'll love him you'll fall in love with him and he'll love you more than anyone could" he said.

I doubt that. Lysander bit his lip to keep from being rude at the moment. ”She already is loved here.” he said softly as he closed his eyes, remembering the vision of him and Betty getting married.

Henry was holding himself back from hurting Betty's father, despite how much he wanted to. That wolf of a man made him sick just thinking of all the things he put Betty through.

He could tell she wasn't having it " what's here for you" he asked Betty looked at Lysander " dad I fell I love I didn't plan.to but I did and it's the best thing that ever happened to me" she said.

Lysander let out a small sigh as he heard Betty’s confession. It almost felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He turned to her with a shy smile. ”Do you mean that, Betty?” he asked with adoration in his eyes.

She walked over to Lysander lacing thier fingers " every word" she said.

”I love you too.” Lysander told her happily and kissed her hand that was entwined with his.

”Well, I think that settles everything.” Henry smiled as he strode to the door. ”Have a nice life, Mr. Strange.” he said fully prepared to close the door on the man’s face.

" bye dad" she said as the door closed then kissed lysanders cheek.

Henry smirked a little as he shut the door, very happy for his brother and Betty.

”I don't think your father likes me anymore.” Lysander chuckled, not really caring about that man's opinion of him.

"as long as you still like is all I care about " Betty said.

”I’ll always love you.” Lysander promised. ”And if you ever want to visit your brothers again, I won't stop you.”

" thank you " she said. And kissed him quickly but gently.

”Of course, love.” Lysander chuckled softly. ”I know they mean a lot to you and I want you to be happy.”

" I'm happy here… with you" she said.

”Then may I ask you a question, properly?” Lysander asked as he took a knee and reached into his pocket, pulling out a small black box.

She gasped with a smile.

Lysander smiled at her and opened the box revealing a ring made of white gold with a purple Amethyst with two small blue diamonds on either side of it. ”Will you marry me, my darling angel?”

"yes a thousand times yes" she said.

Lysander slowly stood up and kissed her, wrapping his arms around her. He was certain he had never been this happy in his entire existence.

”Congratulations!” Henry smiled genuinely. ”To both of you.”

Betty kissed him back gently but quickly.

Lysander smiled and pulled back slightly, lifting the ring to Betty's finger. ”May I?”

She nodded " you may" she said.

He gently slid the ring on to her finger.

Her eyes turned white visions of her and lysanders wedding flashed in her mind her eyes turned normal and she smiled.
