His Vows Her Vows Book Novels & Stories

From the corner of my eyes, my father watched me nervously, his smile faltering at the fear of what I might be thinking. I never imagined faking an answer to a question like this. To spend a lifetime built on false vows and promises. This is not something I wanted for myself or my children. “I do,” The words tasted bitter as they rolled out of my tongue. Instinctively, I slipped the ring onto his finger without being prompted. The priest took another ring and handed it to the man. I gently removed my glove, revealing my sweaty tender fingers. I sucked in my breath as he reached for my hand, fighting the urge to pull back. After that ring slips in, I will be bound to this man.

However, he seemed different to me. I was going to be destroyed by this man. The person who wanted to shatter me was the one who ought to be close to me. I was aware of it. I could feel it in my bones. The priest spoke calmly and clearly as he began the vows, but I could hardly hear what he was saying. Everything seemed surreal to me. And then the words appeared. "Do you consider Kayla Adam to be your legally wedded wife, Dante Cruz?" the priest asked. At last, Dante turned to face me, "To love and cherish, from this day forward, till death do you part?" His hateful gaze met mine.

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.”

I wonder what she was thinking “Y-yeah R-right’. The priest wasn’t sure about it but he started to prepare for the rituals. We started to take vows. Cassie was hesitant but she could possibly imagine the consequences if she did something that will make me angry. "In the name of God, I, Liam Lautner, take you, Cassie Davila, to be my wedded wife , to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us apart. This is my solemn vow. ~Cassie’s POV~ He took his vows and now it was my turn. I was disgusted by myself. I didn’t know I would end up like this. This isn’t how I am supposed to be right

“You reached into every broken part of me and stayed. The power you had on me didn't let me push, didn't let me resist what I had for you. And even when I knew we were worlds apart, I still couldn't bring myself to leave you, because I wanted nothing if it wasn't with you. His eyes moved against her, pure and genuine. “Today, standing in front of you. I vow to be a thousand positive men, in one. To protect you with the same hands that once only knew violence. To worship you with a heart that once believed it could never love. And do be yours forever. “You are my peace. My punishment and my absolute absolution.” “And I choose you. Forever. Even after time forgets our names.” A single tear rol

I can feel my legs becoming weak—just from his little gaze. He chuckles a bit as he look down at my hand. Everyone is focusing on us and I can sense myself burning up. It feels like someone just throw me into the flames or something. He looks up once more, ''I see these vows not as promises but as privileges; I get to laugh with you and cry with you; care for you and share with you. I get to run with you and walk with you; build with you and live with you.'' Oh wow where did he get that vow? I roll my eyes mentally at my sarcasm.

She was nervous, and it was obvious enough for a blind man to see. “Do you want to repeat after me, or do you have your vows prepared?” the priest asked, his gaze bouncing between us. “I’ll say my vows,” Giselle answered. She inhaled one more time, and, looking into my eyes, she began, “I vow to stay by your side, to be your strength and confidant.” She paused, and her throat moved as she swallowed. “To honor you, and to never betray you no matter what happens.” My jaw tightened as she said her vows. She’d carefully chosen her words to affirm her loyalty to me while carefully avoiding anything that hinted at love or affection for me.

No family. Just her. A woman who’d survived every storm and now stood on the edge of power. Their eyes met—and the world narrowed to just them. The vows were spoken in low voices, almost whispered over the hum of the crowd. Not promises of peace or purity, but pledges of loyalty, blood, and eternal obsession. "I don’t vow to protect you from the darkness," Rafael said, his hand sliding up her waist. "I vow to crown you in it." "And I don’t vow to be good for you," Sophia whispered, lifting her chin. "Only to never betray what we are."

Xavier didn’t take his eyes off Sophie. She smiled at him, small and genuine, like she was sharing a secret meant only for him. The faint press of her fingers against his steadied the last tremor in his hands. The vows began. He spoke his words without hesitation, words drawn from a place deeper than strategy or rule. He vowed protection, loyalty, and truth. He vowed to stand beside her even when she challenged him, even when loving her made him weak. Especially then. Sophie answered in kind, her voice clear, steady, promising partnership rather than obedience, choosing him not as a king but as a man.

“Money doesn’t buy loyalty to the Swan. Your father couldn’t save your mother, and he sure as hell can’t save you. That alliance with the Volkov’s? It’s going to get you both buried. But don’t worry. I’ll make sure the message gets sent loud and clear with you dead.” Victor made a weak gurgle, his hand twitching on the table. I reached for him again. “Victor, just hold on for a bit. Please.” The waitress pulled a gun from under her apron, pointing it straight at my chest. “Now you get to join him. No more questions. No more digging. The Swan sends her regards, DeLorenzo.” I slowly reached for my gun, she noticed. “Wait, don’t...” She fired without another word.
