Blood Oath Book Novels & Stories

Ethan mixes the blood and then brings the still-fresh cut on his arm to me, and I press my palm to him, feeling a weird sensation in my chest the moment our palms are connected. "Repeat after me," Ethan ordered, and I listened attentively to him. "I, Ethan, swear to uphold my part of this blood oath and if for whatever reason I defunct against it, I readily accept the consequences." "I, Caleb, swear to uphold my part of this blood oath and if for whatever reason I defunct against it, I readily accept the consequences." I pledged and as soon as the words were out of my lips, a sharp spike went through my chest sealing the deal.

"Nothing to expose. No leverage to pull. There is only the oath… the house that guards it… and your child, who is named by it." I didn’t move. "Every oath begins somewhere," I said. My voice was steady. It had to be. "You told me yourself here, in this room that Morrigane’s oath came after a scandal no one speaks of anymore." I leaned forward slightly, fingers brushing the cold edge of the desk. "An oath isn’t a law of nature, Seraphina. It’s a choice. Someone made it. For a reason. At a specific moment in time." I held her gaze.

I looked at her. “But I’m not your enemy. I’m your Luna. And I will spend every day proving I deserve that title.” Harrison studied us both. “The challenge is noted. Luna Thorne has responded appropriately. Does anyone else wish to challenge Luna?” More silence. “Then we proceed with the oath.” Harrison opened the ancient book. “Sage Thorne, please recite the Luna oath.” I turned to face the crowd, Kael at my side. This was it. I spoke clearly, projecting my voice as Eleanor had taught me:

“How can I work with someone whom I still believe killed my mom.” “And I believe your family has done plenty of killing too,” he replied evenly. “But tonight isn’t about old blood. It’s about staying alive.” My hands were still shaking from the fight. I set the gun down. “On one condition. We share everything we find. No secrets. The second we know who the Swan is, we go our separate ways.” Luciano nodded slowly. “Deal. But you stay here until it’s safe. No running off to your father half-cocked.”

"Because we are not pieces you can move with partial information anymore. You've seen what we do with partial information. Imagine what we can do with all of it." A long silence. Celeste looked at them both Magnus and Vivienne, side by side at the library table, with three centuries of supernatural law spread between them and a pack at their backs and the specific quality of two people who had earned, through an extended and brutal process, the right to know exactly what they were up against. "The Blood Oath was not just a transaction," Celeste said finally. "I know," Magnus said.

Her knees nearly gave out, but she locked them hard. Not here, not in front of them. Edric began the vow. “I enter by blood.” Virelle forced air into her lungs. “I enter by blood.” The words were barely out before the basin pulsed beneath her hand. “I bind myself to the laws of Blood Oath Academy.” “I bind myself to the laws of Blood Oath Academy.” The silver glow deepened. “I will not betray the oath without consequence.” “I will not betray the oath without consequence.” The mark on her skin burned hotter, and a strange pressure built behind her ribs, like a second heartbeat waking up beneath her own. Edric’s gaze sharpened.

Luca immediately swore, "Of course, Katerina! I swear on the honor of my Famiglia that I will only love you for the rest of my life! "My last name, my Famiglia—everything I have belongs to you!" I didn't say another word and silently signed my name on the contract. Luca thought that I was completely unaware of his tricks. I was just going to let him think that way, though. He would soon learn the price he would have to pay for deceiving me.

The servant nodded eagerly and thanked me. After breakfast, my brother asked about my plans and promised to support whatever I chose. "I want to go back to work at the Group!" I said. After becoming Draven's mate, I had given up my job as a blood-healer. A week later, I returned to the Group as the 'Chief Blood-Healer.' Within a week of my return, I single-handedly developed a serum that cured the Blood-Rot that had plagued our Elders for a century, sending shockwaves through the entire Group.

Cassian’s voice called sharply. She turned. He appeared in the doorway, face pale with fury and fear. “You were not meant to be here.” “You weren’t meant to own me,” she replied. He stepped closer. “That book isn’t what you think.” “It’s worse.” She held it up. “They all died. That’s the oath, isn’t it? One life protecting a secret until it can’t anymore.” His jaw tightened. “You’re lying to me,” she said. “Every day.” “I’m protecting you.”
