Julia folded the paper and put it aside. When she looked back up at Damien, she saw that his lips were trembling slightly. He smiled and took her other hand, pressing them tightly in his. When he spoke, though, his voice rang out in confidence.
"Julia, my love, my heart. I was lost before I met you. Now that we have found each other, I can't say or do enough to show that I want to hold you to me forever and never let go. In the darkness, you are my light. In sorrow, you are my joy. I promise to cherish you, to be faithful to you, to love you without any hesitation. I promise to protect you and keep you by my side, to treat you as my equal even though you're way, way, way better than me."
The pack members laughed lightly and Damien grinned. Julia felt tears welling up again behind her eyes as he spoke.
"I want to share everything with you, Julia. I want you to be my mate, and I want you to mother my children. I want you so much that it takes my breath away. Be mine, and let me be yours, and I promise you that we will make a beautiful life together."
Julia could not help the tears streaming down her cheeks as he finished his vow.
"Now," Dee said, "Damien, do you bond yourself to Julia by the light of the moon?"
"By the light of the moon, I bond myself to thee, Julia, my one true mate, now and forever."
"And do you, Julia, bond yourself to Damien by the light of the moon."
Julia could barely choke out the words through her joyful tears.
"By the light of the moon, I bond myself to thee, Damien, my one true mate, now and forever."
"Then go and be blessed," Dee said.
Damien took Julia into his arms and swept her up into a deep kiss. All of the guests cheered, and Julia closed her eyes, feeling Damien's lips pressing against hers, taking her breath away. At that instant, she felt again the connection that had drawn them together and would stay with them for all of their lives. Julia broke the kiss, wiping her eyes with her hand and then throwing her arms back around Damien's neck in a tight embrace. Although her arm still ached from the accident, she could not feel the pain past all of the joy that rushed to her heart at that moment. His lips brushed her ear.
"My mate," Damien whispered. "Mine forever."
"Yes," Julia said. "Forever and ever." Her heart swelled as she took his hand and turned to face the guests.
It was time to start their lives together.

Me, Cinderella?
One kind deed can change your life forever...
Brynn Tomlin could never afford to follow her heart. But when she sees a stranger shivering in the snow outside of the college library, an inexplicable urge leads her to buy him a hot cup of coffee. It's just a small act of kindness, a few words of conversation. Brynn should be focusing on her finals, after all, not on the man who looked up at her gratefully with piercing blue eyes.
He could have been anyone - a janitor on break, a graduate student, a bum. But the man standing outside in the cold turns out to be Dr. Eliot Herceg, one of the most brilliant minds in mathematics and heir to a fortune. After years of reclusive isolation, he now finds his heart awakening to the kind girl whose name he does not know.
Brynn has spent her life trying to forget her desires, and Eliot's deep wounds have taken nearly a decade to heal. After so much hurt, will either of them be able to open their hearts again?
Excerpt:
Before my mother died, she told me stories. I sat on her lap and listened to her spin golden fairy tales through the air. We never had much, but I didn't notice the cracks in our plaster walls when she talked about Cinderella putting on her crystal slippers and waltzing all night with Prince Charming.
"Once upon a time"...the stories always begin the same way, but from these beginnings my mother wove new tales that danced in all directions of the compass. She told me stories of castles and dragons, stories of men who flew above the clouds to reach the sun and gods who rained jealous fury upon their rivals. Stories of lovers whose passion rose above earthly desire and changed their fate to a different end than the world had meant for them. Stories of hope and of death.
None of those stories were true, but mine is.
