Indigo Lantern Oath Novels & Stories

“During each of our initiation, we are submerged into a human-sized test tube while each member slits their wrist and allow it to drop into the water. It's called a soul-l**k and the connection is very powerful; lost method of stamping a covenant.” Turns out, my guess wasn't far from the truth. Lex felt relieved he hadn't gone through that. What a stupid thought to even consider it. “Detective,” El stared into Lex's eyes. “I'm sure you already know what happens when one goes against the blood script. They don't die, their loved ones die.” Ayodele, Yetunde, they had broken the oath.

I think, much like Dani and me, everyone was tense to see how our oath would go. “I, Khalid Salil Adio, solemnly swear that I will faithfully serve the Silverclaw people as their Delta and support Alpha Kurt and Luna Isis. And will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Silverclaw Pack.” Like the others before me, I gave my oath, drinking the mixed blood.

Apollo repeated Slant's offer. "Very well." Chase nodded slightly. Since they were willing to swear a blood oath, he decided not to make things difficult for them. Then, Apollo and Slant each struck their chests, forcing out a mouthful of blood. "We, Slant and Apollo, swear that once we leave this secret realm, we'll never reveal any information about it. Should we break this vow, may heart demons plague us, and may we die horrible deaths!" they swore in unison. Seeing this, Chase decided not to trouble them further. He then turned his gaze to Wayne, the only independent cultivator present. He was a first-stage martial lord.

Next to them was an older looking woman and two men. “…it is now time to say your vows." I directed my attention back to the altar. I hadn’t prepared anything special, I didn’t even have the time or the energy. I had to come up with something on the spot, and I expected Christian to do the same. “I, Hazel Bennett, promise to love you through thick and thin, through sickness and health, and promise to be there for you all the days of our lives.” I ran through the vows quickly and was done. It was now Christian’s turn. I looked at him expectantly.

Leander sighs, running his fingers through his hair. "There has to be free will to some extent," Leander adds to his thoughts. He is right. I don't believe in the rule to begin with. Seth's rejection must have really worried Leander. I still didn't know all of the details but they took extreme precautions afterwards. Gatheo continues to stare at the ground with a look of guilt no man could come back from. "Are the head warriors considered high ranking?" I ask. "Everyone in this room is considered higher ranking. All of these warriors have taken a sacred oath sworn to the Moon Goddes to protect this pack and their loyalty to their Alpha. The oath and ceremony provides them greater strength th

Another question from my father, one I know that I will keep after the pain I have gone through and the injustice I have witnessed over the last six years. “I will.” “Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of our Moon Goddess. Will you maintain and preserve the settlement of the Church of the Goddess, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established in Canada?” “I will” “Do you promise to keep these oaths and maintain the order of wolves?” The final question in this ceremony is asked. I pause, the power of the sceptre coursing through my body, waiting to sense any hesitation and dishonesty from me. But I know that I mean my vows, that I wou

I wondered how much they had practised this. Leone smiled, looking genuinely pleased. "Then we shall proceed with the ceremonial marking and oath-taking." He gestured to someone off to the side. A priest stepped forward carrying a large bowl. Even from this distance, I could see the dark liquid inside. Blood. Animal blood based on the scent. "Kneel," Leone commanded. The twenty Lycans dropped to their knees immediately. "Repeat after me. I swear on the moon goddess and all that is sacred." "I swear on the moon goddess and all that is sacred."

The pack gathered for the Lantern Walk, every soul clutching a paper lantern inscribed with a hope or remembrance. Torin began by lighting his lantern, inscribed with the name of a friend lost in the first siege. One by one, lanterns glowed to life. Ezra’s bore the single word choice. Alara’s read unity. Damien’s lantern sported a shaky heart drawn by Seren’s youngest apprentice, prompting Damien’s soft chuckle. Lucas proudly displayed an illustrated sword and spoon, earning head shakes all around. Seren’s lantern read healing; Eamon’s knowledge; Cassian’s legacy; and little Elira’s lantern, carried by Ezra, simply bore a handprint pressed in safe dye.

The glow fades, leaving Meredith standing alone on the stage. Taking a moment to steady herself, Meredith speaks once more. “The alphas, lunas, and lunes before you will guide this pack as one. Swearing fealty to one means fealty to all, binding you as brothers and sisters. Come, take your oaths. Let us spend this final night together before we part ways. But know this—we are one. One pack. One family. One brotherhood under our Goddess.” The oath-taking begins.

Acknowledging the millions of voices humming in our heads, we recited the oath we’d created and let our words be heard all across the country. “We do solemnly swear that we will support and defend the prosperity and safety of our people. We pledge to remain honest even in difficult times, strong in the face of adversity, and humble for the honor we have been given. We will share our knowledge and listen to the opinions of the people before voicing our own. We say all of this under the eyes of our Goddess and swear to do everything within our power to make her proud.” I laced my fingers through Nox’s, feeling my cheeks heat when he looked down at me with awe swimming in his eyes. The soft car
