Bayou Setting Quotes

“Elara gently took Declan's hands, her gaze locking onto the warmth in his brown eyes. "Declan," she began, her voice soft but firm, "Je promets- I promise to love you with the strength of my magick, a force as wild and untamed as the bayou itself. I will guide you with the wisdom of my ancêtres- the old ones who watch over us, their spirits woven into the very fabric of our heritage. And mon loup, I promise to warm you with the fire of my âme- my very soul, a flame that will burn for you toujours- always and forever.”

“Declan's voice, thick with emotion, tightened as his hands found Elara's. He cleared his throat, the sound raspy with feeling. "Mon sorcière," he began, his eyes locking with hers, "Je promets- I promise to love you with the loyalty of ma meute- my pack. To cherish you with the tenderness in mon cœur- my heart… it beats only for you, Ma Sorcière. And I swear to protect you with every fiber of my being, jusqu'à mon dernier souffle- until my last breath. 'Cause you're more précieux- precious to me than the bayou itself.”
