Keep You Like An Oath の小説・ストーリー

His blue eyes gleamed in the moonlight as though they held galaxies. I took a deep breath, stood on my toes, and gently kissed the corner of his lips. Antoine jolted in surprise, and I could feel his entire body stiffening for a moment. Then, as if realization struck him, his arms tightened around me to pull me in for a tight hug as he deepened the long-awaited kiss. Moonlight streamed through the window, painting silver lines on the floor. His arms were wrapped around me, a hold that was not overly forceful but firm and absolutely steady. We stayed like that for a long time before we finally pulled away.

Luca said tightly. Joey nodded once, his tone shifting into something almost ceremonial. “Mina Mendoza. Do you swear, before this family, that what you heard tonight dies within you?” I could barely breathe. “I swear.” “Do you understand what happens if you break it?” “I do.” Joey closed the book and pressed his hand flat on its cover. “Then the oath is fixed.” Luca turned on him. “You didn’t have to do that.” Joey’s eyes flicked up. “You didn’t stop her soon enough.” The silence between them carried more danger than a gun ever could. I stood still, unsure if I had just been protected or sentenced. Joey adjusted his cufflinks, his expression unreadable again. “You’re part of this now, whethe

"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry." I kneeled in front of my parents at the doorstep, mechanically repeating the vows I had practiced countless times. "I've realized my mistakes. I swear from now on, I will treat Jake well. Everything will be about him first. He's the best. He comes first. His life is more important than mine." As soon as I finished speaking, the director Arthur Black's voice rang out, "Cut!" This transformation reality show had finally wrapped up.

“I want to believe you.” “I will make an oath on the Goddess,” he spits out, making me gasp. An oath said in the Goddesses name is one that is bound to your soul. It’s doesn’t just make you a promise breaker and make people think twice before believing what you have to say. This type of oath is literally written on your soul, causing you immeasurable pain if the oath is ever broken, often leading to death. The only way to stop it is to complete the oath.

The Watchers raised their hands. “Repeat after us,” they said in perfect unison. “I am the flame that does not falter.” Her voice was strong. “I am the flame that does not falter.” “I am the howl that will not be silenced.” “I am the howl that will not be silenced.” “I am the balance that walks between stars and shadows.” “I am the balance that walks between stars and shadows.” “I am the Oath, and the Oath is me.” “I am the Oath, and the Oath is me.”

Let me guess, since I'm not entirely new to this rodeo: if we don't fulfill this oath? We will die, my demon sent. Craptastic. ***

It coiled around us like a living thing, threading through my veins and hers, sealing us in a bond that went beyond words. Paige sucked in a sharp breath, her body trembling. Her eyes locked on mine, wide and luminous. “What… what is this?” “An oath,” I said, my voice rough. “If I ever turn against you, if I ever raise my hand to harm you, may this bond end my life.” The power pulsed once, as if acknowledging the vow, before settling into a steady thrum beneath our joined hands. Her lips trembled. “Raymond…” I cupped the back of her neck with my free hand, holding her steady. “You asked which side I’m on,” I said fiercely. “This is my answer, there is no side but yours.”

"It is the rule, young Prince, and we cannot bend it for you. The oath recognizes the bond between you two, and it bound itself to you both. There is nothing to fear, so long as you do not have bad intentions, or deliberately hurt another, you are safe. The oath swearing is just a prerequisite, which helps maintain peace and stability among the species that visit one another. It also serves as a means of protection, one you'll find out during your mission." "We aren't even marked... A prerequisite, my ass," I swore quietly. This is it. The oath had already materialized itself. So all we needed to do is to keep everyone in check so no one messed up. As far as I knew, none of us here had any s

I say, “Explain the thing that you shoved into my blood without asking permission for.” He sighs as he turns back to watch his men load the cars with everything they need, and doesn't look back as he explains. "The blood oath is a control system, and commands can run both ways. Orders are passed down from one bondmate to another, with restraints triggered when someone disobeys. Pain loops correct behavior, and it has a habit of ensuring loyalty.” The bond hums under my skin as if it knows it's being talked about. I hate the feeling of it.
