Vampyre nobles lifted crimson goblets, intoning, “May passion burn bright, yet never consume, a flame eternal in the dark.” Daimph singers raised their voices in harmony, “May your union be the bridge between worlds, a song of unity everlasting.” Finally, the human socialites, and a few of the ladies Aakifahlynn had come to call friends, all resplendent in silks and jewels, offered applause and cheers, their voices mingling with the mystical blessings. The vows were sealed not only by words, but by the collective will of every race present. The vows themselves were simple, but sacred.

She said. Damien stared at her angrily, he wished he could kill her, but he couldn't. She was taking advantage of his weak moment. “Delilah.”. He growled! “What do you want??”. He added "I don't want anything as of now. Just promise you will give me what I want when the time comes''. She swung the blood at his face, knowing he was desperate for it. Damien growled “I promise”. She smiled, Vampires don't go back on their words.

I could do nothing but hug him. "I vowed to never return to a claiming. The years of loneliness start eating at you. I finally knew I could not stay away. Our brides are not just sexual partners, they're companions. When a bride's body is old and frail, unable to perform sexually, it matters not. Friendship fills all voids and a dragon is satisfied. The terrible part is knowing our time is limited once it reaches that point. I flew to your claiming vowing to never love again. Forgive me, bride, for it is you who will suffer the most. Please. Just... be my friend."

So their wrists were still bleeding. According to Elphaba's instructions… both couples drank the blood by half and half. After drinking the blood she made them tell their vows in the presence of the moon goddess swearing on her with their lives. "I announce William Maximus Elisaveta and Lenora Serafina Valorine as husband and spouse in the divine presence of moon goddess and nature," Elphaba said holding the hands of Maximus and Lenora. Walking towards the Zaros and Adira she repeated the same.

The bridegroom wasn't a simple guy from our countryside like my sister preferred, she always wanted a simple life where she would be managing the household and looking after kids while her husband earned their livelihood. However, this was not the case, her husband-to-be was a lord, our small village fell under his estate. He was the great Vampire Lord, child of the night, a nocturnal being. The wedding would also be held at night instead of the morning like it usually happened. Even the wedding gown wasn't white.

she replied with a giggle. “There’s alot of things I’m going to do with that dress tonight just so you know,” I whispered. “Drew, you understand we’re at the altar,” she whispered back. “Oops, my bad,” I said. We both laughed. The vows began. My voice was steady when the priest asked me if I took Kirah to be my wife, to love and cherish her, to give her my name. “I do,” I said without hesitation. The priest turned to her.

Rebecca, my parents, and relatives sat on either side, their cheers filling the air; I heard countless words of blessings. When it came time for the vows, Rebecca interrupted the officiant. She took several deep breaths, forcing herself not to tremble. Then, she raised a ring. "Theo, I didn't want to skip the proposal and jump straight into marrying you. But I promise that I will love only you for the rest of my life, just like I have for the past ten years. So, please, I'm begging you. Will you marry me?" Tears shimmered in her eyes, and in her gaze was my reflection. In that instant, my ten years of love for Ivy vanished like dust in a gale.

“But at its core, it’s a promise. One borne not just of love, but of responsibility.” Dante’s fingers grazed mine once. Not a grasp. A check in. The officiant turned to him. “Dante, your vows.” Dante took a breath—a real one. Not controlled and not practiced. He turned toward me fully. When he took mine, his hands were steady. I noticed that first. The steadiness. This was not a man who was doubting his decision. “I was brought up to think of vows as contracts,” he said. “Words meant to reassure people watching, not the one standing in front of you.”

“Good.You should also know I demand full payment or a human collateral till full payment has been made.” Disgust twisted my stomach into unnatural coils. "Your collateral is me," I said sharply. But with some changes. ” “Changes? ”He mumbled. “No heir” I spat out. “The original contract stated I would bear your child but this new agreement means I will not. My efforts will focus on repaying you through cash transactions. Each individual penny comprising the total amount. ” A flicker of something—surprise? Amusement? A fleeting shadow crossed his face before he leaned back and rubbed his jaw. “Interesting. ”

Mum spoke first. “The Moon marks what is broken and returns it made whole. We honor her law today.” She looked between Cowrie and her groom, then Gavin and Sariah, then Ruhan and me. “Three vows. One for bond, one for peace, one for rule.” Cowrie went first. “I vow to guard what is mine and take what is offered in trust.” Her husband repeated it. Mum nodded. Gavin spoke next. “I vow to shield what is mine and serve where I am needed.”
