Got Oathkeeper Novelas e Histórias

Suddenly, a surge of memories overwhelmed her—a vivid flashback to her childhood. --- *Flashback: The Oath* A younger Luna stood in a moonlit grove, her mother, Lady Elara, guiding her through a sacred ritual. The air was thick with anticipation as Luna recited the ancient words, binding herself to a legacy she scarcely understood. "This oath," Elara whispered, "is our lineage's burden and strength. It will protect and challenge you in equal measure." As Luna completed the ritual, a searing pain coursed through her, marking the inception of her hidden power.

Of all the responses she had expected, that had not been one of them. Kaeldryn’s mouth curved faintly. “Careful, Theron. You’re sounding attached.” Theron, another name. The wolf’s shoulders went taut. “I said enough.” The temperature of the room seemed to drop. Virelle had no idea what had happened between her and this man when he touched her, but whatever it was, it had not gone unnoticed. Edric stepped forward, his authority sweeping back over the room before the tension could break into something worse. “This is not a debate,” he said. “The oath proceeds.” His attention landed on Virelle again. “Come forward.”

"No Luna is obliged to swear such oaths. I will never do it." Seeing that I refused to do what he told me to, he scoffed as he left the hall. The last thing he said to me was, "I'll only mark you when you come to your senses." Iris barked, "Never!" Staring after him, I frowned. The patrol leader, Asher Cross, cast me a mocking look. He sounded impatient as he urged, "Luna… No, you aren't our Luna yet. Noelle, hurry up and make the oath. None of those who disobey Alpha Cassian will fare well."

Everyone bowed their heads and muttered, “Alpha.” My chest tightened and I nodded. I looked towards my mother who nodded. Of course my father wasn't here, he had just renounced and he had to go through his own rites. He was now one of my elders. I cleared my throat. “Under the moon and with the goddess’ hem on my heels, I take this oath and I swear to be bound to you. In blood and in mind, I will serve and protect. My pack and my bride. Whom I will stand by, come sun, come moon and with whom I will lead this pack to greater heights.”

Alpha Holden, my mate, stands up, and the room goes silent. “Cadets, you will now take your oaths. As some of you previously lived in other packs or in human cities, you will each renounce your former packs and vow to be a part of Ghost Pack. Through that oath, you will become a member of Ghost Pack, directly under our authority, command, and protection.” My mate is good with words. “Do you think his tongue is good with something other than words?” Jamie says. “I swear to Goddess, Jamie, we’re not even in heat yet!” I whisper yell.

“I promise to protect this town,” Jack said, his hand over his heart. “I promise to fight for peace, and to not rest until it is achieved. I promise to treat all life as equal. I devote myself to this cause from now until my last breath.” Nina dipped her head in acknowledgement, and Jack let his hand drop to his side. I stepped forward next and repeated the oath. It was the same words every person in this room had recited when they agreed to become a Peacekeeper. It wasn’t something to take lightly, and I didn’t plan to.

For, I already know my victims, but I'm not ready to admit it. My gaze met with Cassie's again who gave me a sly smile, before I darts my eyes down to Jake. I know, if the look could kill, then I'd be some feet under the ground. Sighing, I stand on my feet, perching my palm on my chest to pledge my oath "I," I begin eyes on Alpha Caine who has his intently on me. "Javier Zeke Mendez stands before you all today, pledging my oath to apprehend our enemies and restore peace to the whole Pack!"

Rhoan stepped forward, slow and deliberate, until he stood before Diva. "You carry no rank. No pack. No title. And yet today, you saved more than territory." He dropped to one knee. His head bowed. "You carry the Moon’s wisdom." The gesture sent a ripple through both sides. More wolves bowed. Some hesitated—then followed. Mayla approached, drawing a line in the dirt before Diva’s feet. A crescent. Then four smaller slashes encircling it. "This symbol has waited generations for its bearer. You did not ask for this. But we recognize it in you."

"That's the Keeper's oath." Hope nodded. "It became the Keeper's oath." "It began as a husband's promise." Amara felt another piece of history fall into place. "The First Keepers..." "...were a family." Hope smiled sadly. "Yes." "A husband." "A wife." "And their daughter." She placed her hand gently on her own chest. "I was the daughter." Silence consumed the chamber. Hope... The child before them... Had stood at the beginning of everything. The ancient voice of the Archive suddenly echoed around them.

"The oath stands as sworn. Full privileges, immunity, reinstatement. That was the deal. You don't get to walk in here and rewrite it because you don't like the terms." "I'm not rewriting anything," Moira states, unbothered. "I'm correcting an imbalance. An oath sworn under threat to save a life was never meant to chain the one who swore it for the rest of his." "This wasn't part of the agreement, Elder Moira." Garrick's voice rises, real panic bleeding through now. "My son swore that oath freely…" "Did he?" Elder Moira's eyebrow lifts. "With his mate's life in danger and a clock counting down? That's not exactly free, Garrick. You knew that when you offered the deal. You built the entire neg
