I’m excited about spending my life with Damek—I know there is nobody else I’d rather bind myself to.
There is a knock on the door. When the door doesn’t open, I yell for whoever it is to come in. Kaine pokes his head inside.
“It’s time for everybody to take your seats,” Kaine says.
I take a deep breath and look at Dad as Eden and Mom leave the room.
Today, my dad is going to walk me down the aisle. When I was a small child and I imagined my wedding, I always wished that my father would be around for this moment. As I got older, I gave up on that dream but having him here means more than I expected.
“Princess Madeline, you look beautiful,” Kaine says.
I look at my old advisor and smile. “Thank you, Kaine.”
“Prince Damek is lucky.” He turns away, closing the door as Mom and Eden walk out.
I look at Dad. “I guess it’s almost time.”
Dad looks at me with tears in his eyes. “I regret a lot of things when it comes to you, but I am so glad that you’re here now. I hate all the things I missed out on in your life.”
“All that matters is that you’re here now. I’ve always dreamt of the day my father would walk me down the aisle. I’m glad you’re here.”
He hugs me tightly. “I love you.”
“I love you too, Dad.”
A few minutes later, Dad walks me down the aisle.
The moment is everything I ever wanted, but it’s better than I imagined. When I thought of my wedding day, I never realized how in love I would be. I didn’t know it was even possible to feel like this.
Damek waits at the front for me, wearing a tux. He looks absolutely breathtaking. As I walk toward him, his eyes never leave mine.
Any nerves that I felt are completely gone as Damek and I say our vows to one another. Promising to love him forever is the easiest promise I’ve ever had to make.
When the ceremony is over, we don’t head to a big celebration—this is one succubus tradition I was glad not to follow. Instead, we leave for our honeymoon.
Damek and I decided we wanted a quiet honeymoon, so we’re going to his family’s vacation home on the island where he proposed and I couldn’t think of a better place to go.
When we get on the plane to leave, Damek looks at me with an expression that I can’t quite read.
“What?” I tilt my head to the side as I study him.
“I’m starting to regret our honeymoon destination,” he says.
“Why?” I ask. “I think it’s perfect.”
“It’s the plane ride.” He frowns. “It’s far too long. We should’ve stayed the night somewhere close by. This entire trip is going to be torture.”
I chew on my lip to stop the grin.
Okay, maybe he’s right about that. It’s definitely going to be a long trip, but it’s still not as bad as the traditions I’m used to. I tell him so and he groans.
“How do incubi handle hours of celebration? I think I’d go crazy,” Damek says.
I laugh at how impatient he is.
To be honest, I’m a little impatient too, but I know it’ll be worth every moment of waiting.
“We’ve got the rest of our lives together.” I lean my head on Damek’s shoulder. “This is just the beginning.”
