I came with his name on my lips, clinging to him like he was my anchor. Afterward, as we lay tangled together, he traced the curve of my waist. “Tomorrow,” he said. “We end this.” --- The press conference was bigger this time. We stood together on the stage, hands linked. Cameras flashed. Reporters shouted questions. I spoke first, voice steady despite the pounding in my chest. “I am Professor Zira Voss. I fell in love with my student, Tristan Vale. Our relationship began before I knew his identity. It was consensual. Private. The person who leaked our intimate moments did so out of revenge and obsession. We will not be silenced.”

--- Third Person POV Meanwhile, far away from the noisy celebration, Amira was standing in a secluded, shady corner with the temple witch.

"Thank you so much for not exposing the fact that I was secretly trying to get the bond transferred to myself too... so the Alpha would love me. Thank you for keeping my secret."

“Colten… I vow now to love you no matter what. We have suffered so much, we have to survive a whole lot to make it here. You’ve been my joy and my heartbreak. My greatest challenge and my greatest gift. I vow to stand beside you, not behind, not beneath, beside you. I vow to be your strength when you falter, your truth when you doubt, and your home when the world feels too heavy.” The officiant’s voice rang steady. “You may seal your vows.” The kiss was slow, steady, not desperate passion, but something deeper. Something that said we made it. When we pulled apart, the cheer that rose from the pack rolled over us like a warm tide. I was Luna.

I could not be happier, my chest was double the size due to all the air I have consumed in. “Oh My!” Silas commented silently, watching me without breaking his stare from me.

I vow to always support you in good health, in sickness and in any phase of life. I vow to inspire you, to be by your side-in good or worse. I promise to cherish and respect you, I vow to never stop loving you. Thank you for being with me and supporting me in my worst. I am glad to have you as a father of my child, you a

“In the presence of all and God's, I, Asher Samuel Dillard, official representative under the authority of the husband's, state that this woman is Giovanni Reviello's wife. From this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do them part. He will love, honor and cherish her all the days of his life. According to this statement, I pledge thee my solemn vow in the name of Giovanni Reviello and his honor.” Whispering could be heard from the altar. No one had ever heard a vow like that, especially one made in the name of another person. Gradually, the pity became entertainment. The guests began to like the situation. Eleonor remains silent

“And you look like someone who’s finally learning how to be on time.” He laughed softly, shaking his head. “I was early. Okay?.” “Because Isla threatened you.” The crowd chuckled, but then the officiant’s voice rose, gentle and soft and the silence fell. The vows were simple with no over-polished promises, no poetic lines rehearsed in mirrors. Just the truth and their love for each other. “I don’t promise perfection,” Kian said, voice deep and sincere, “but I promise to never stop choosing you even when we fight, even when we’re stubborn, even when life tries to pull us apart.”

she answered. They both laughed, quiet and low, like the ghosts around them had joined in. The officiant cleared his throat, but even his words felt like background noise. The vows they spoke weren’t scripted, weren’t borrowed from books or priests. They were simple, precise—promises written in the same language they’d always used: truth. “I promise,” Sasha said, “to never need saving—but to always let you stand beside me.” “I promise,” Nico replied, “to never make peace boring.”

Zara whispered, almost to herself, “For Zainab… for the children… for the truth.” The others echoed the sentiment quietly, but firmly. A vow had been made. And the night bore witness to the beginning of their reckoning.

"Definitely better. Scary, but better." --- Our second meeting with Elder Thomas focused on vows. He had us sit separately in his cabin, each with paper and pen. "Write what's in your heart," he instructed. "Not what you think you should say. True vows come from truth, not performance." I stared at the blank paper for twenty minutes. How do you summarize love in words? How do you capture five years of pain, healing, and choosing each other again? Finally, I started writing.

Lucky. I could let them kill each other. I could stand here in emerald silk and let the old war finally go loud. But I see the journalists shifting for angles; I smell the headline forming in the heat: MANCINI BLOWS UP VOWS. I didn’t crawl back here to be a prop in someone else’s scandal poem. So I give the room something straight. “This was supposed to be about vows,” I say, and my voice is colder than the ice in their glasses. It carries. It always carries when you tell the truth with your mouth closed. “About trust. About building something worth celebrating.”
