A Vow Of Ruin Novels & Stories

“If it takes you too—” He cut her off with a soft, strained smile. “Then at least it takes me where you are.” Something broke inside her — the last wall of fear she’d been holding. “You idiot,” she breathed. “That’s not balance, that’s love.” “Same thing.” The darkness surged, furious now, trying to rip them apart. The light from their hands burned brighter, pouring through the cracks in the void. The vow’s voice shattered into fragments, its once-perfect tone breaking with distortion. You defy the covenant of blood. You cannot rewrite what was bound.

Mum spoke first. “The Moon marks what is broken and returns it made whole. We honor her law today.” She looked between Cowrie and her groom, then Gavin and Sariah, then Ruhan and me. “Three vows. One for bond, one for peace, one for rule.” Cowrie went first. “I vow to guard what is mine and take what is offered in trust.” Her husband repeated it. Mum nodded. Gavin spoke next. “I vow to shield what is mine and serve where I am needed.”

“We need to stop them. Now.” John nodded, heart pounding. “But first, we must understand everything in this book.” As they pored over the ancient text, the chanting grew closer, reverberating through the stone walls like a drumbeat of doom. With time running out and the Hollow stirring, John and Sarah must decode the vow’s origin before the ritual reaches its devastating climax. John’s fingers trembled as he flipped through the brittle pages, each word heavy with meaning, each passage darker than the last. The blood vow wasn’t just a curse it was a binding promise made in desperation, sealing away a power so destructive that entire kingdoms fell beneath its shadow.

He had contained the beast so perfectly it was as if he wasn't there at all. A fierce, profound wave of pride washed over Lucian, temporarily cooling his own fire. This was his pack. His family. Three of the most powerful Alphas on the continent, each waging their own silent war against their most primal instincts, all to honor the vow they had made to this one, broken, beautiful omega. Their discipline was absolute. Their loyalty was unbreakable.

Because for Livia— every word sounded like a lie forced into becoming the truth. And at that moment— without realizing it— her tears fell. One drop. Then another. She did not wipe them away. Did not try to hide them. Because she knew— there was nothing left to save. Livia opened her mouth. But her voice was barely audible. Broken. Fragile. As if every word that came out was a betrayal of herself. “I… y-yes…” her voice nearly disappeared, “I do.” Silence. For a moment. Yet it felt so long.

He was making sure I felt every ounce of the fire I had started. "You think you can just say sorry and have the world go back to normal," Liam continued. "But some things are broken beyond repair. You didn't just break a glass. You ground it into dust. You can't put dust back together." "I will do anything," I whispered into the carpet. "I will leave the house. I will go to a different city. Just don't hate me. Please don't hate me."

"I am the debt that never ends. I am the vessel you can't stop filling." The sensuality was dark and explicit, a collision of two souls who knew they were likely walking into their final hour. Dante’s hands were everywhere—mapping her, bruising her, reminding her through every touch that his obsession was a terminal illness. He took her there, amidst the gear shift and the shadows, a visceral union that felt like a blood covenant. "You are my ruin," Dante panted against her lips, his rhythm slow and devastating. "And I will worship every shard of the wreckage."

A shadow caught between altars, belonging to neither, haunted by both. He exhaled slowly, pressing his forehead briefly to the cold stone behind him. The stone stole heat from his skin, greedy and indifferent. He let it. He needed the theft. Needed something to feel simple again. I won’t let you be destroyed by this. The vow was formed without ceremony. Without hesitation. It landed in him like a brand, hot and permanent, the kind that doesn’t ask whether you deserve it. Not by The Devil. Not by my father. Not by the truth.

she argued. “Architetta.” He leaned closer, his hands gripping each side of his desk as his voice dropped dangerously low. ”Then this job may take more from you than you expect.” She could feel it then, the danger lurking behind his words. Promising retribution. AILANI’S POV (24 hours earlier.) “She collapsed suddenly.” Everything in my life changed with those three words. A single phone call was all it took to send my whole world crashing down, like a rollercoaster on a broken track.

However, I was still unprepared for what came next. For the first time, Dante's fingers touched my cheek as he carefully raised my veil. He moved near my ear after leaning in and kissing me coldly and meaninglessly. His murmur was poisonous. He declared, "I will break you. Forget those vows I made. I'll bring you misery. And every day of your life, I'll make sure you regret what you did.” My heart fell. I became his bride in an instant.
