Chapter 12
As Maeve's lips formed the word "Yes," my heart soared with joy. The entire kingdom seemed to erupt in jubilation. Cheers and applause filled the air, echoing through the grand hall where the royal ceremony was taking place. Seeing Maeve's smile, the love of my life, and now my mate, I couldn't have been happier.
The crowd's happiness was contagious, and I couldn't help but smile as I looked down at the emerald-green ring I had placed on Maeve's finger. It sparkled in the soft, golden light of the room, a symbol of our commitment to each other.
Maeve's eyes shimmered with emotion as she gazed up at me. She was my love, my mate, my everything. We had come so far, faced so many challenges, and now we were here, ready to embark on a new chapter of our lives together.
The king, an ancient vampire with wisdom etched into his ageless face, stepped forward to congratulate us. His presence commanded respect, and I felt a sense of validation in his warm words.
