O Swear Not By The Moon Novels & Stories

CAEL I stood in the center of the moonlit grove, watching him play with Ayla and the newborn pups. The moon blazed crimson, a reflection of the prophecy of the King, while the sun hovered beside it like a rare solar eclipse. The universe seemed to shift around them, the wind whispered northward, fires flickered like sulfur and brimstone in the distance, and I felt the pulse of something ancient and powerful.

Westin snapped, “Swear to me in the name of your late, your unborn child and the Moon Goddess!” She was forced to raise her voice, “I swear in the name of the Moon Goddess that I will never disclose this secret to another living soul! You will be my child’s only father and nothing can change that. Let the Moon Goddess watch over me. If I ever break this oath, punish me at the Moon Goddess’s will!” That was it. She said it. Couldn’t take it back anymore. There must be consequences if she broke that swear later. She didn’t know what that consequence was, but she bet it must be severe.

He takes a deep breath before locking eyes with me, his gaze intense and incredibly tender. “Reyna,” he begins, “I vow to be your anchor and your sail—your strength in times of trouble, and your joy in times of happiness. I’ll stand by your side when the world feels too big, and I’ll stand behind you when you’re ready to conquer it. And through it all, I will love you with an intensity that rivals the fiercest storms and the quietest moonlit nights. This is my solemn vow to you, bound by the Moon Goddess herself.” Each vow leaves an indelible imprint on my heart, filling me with a sense of completion I didn’t know I needed. As they each step back into their places, the priestess raises her a

I raised my head, chin held high, and made a solemn vow to the Goddess of the Moon. The weight of my words hung in the air as I declared, "I, Lycan Aaron, the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, take Olive from the Star Moon as my own. With the power given to me, I seal this union with an unbreakable oath." Olive's breath caught in her throat as she looked at me, her eyes filled with a mix of awe and nervousness. Perhaps she could feel the divine influence of the Moon Goddess, as well as the authority I held as her new Alpha.

Luna intoned, her voice carrying ancient weight. “I pledge my soul beneath the Crimson Moon,” Aria began, voice steady. Kael echoed, “I bind my blood, my breath, and my power.” Aria: “To rise when he rises, to fall when he falls.” Kael: “To protect what she protects, to love as she loves.” Together: “Let our fates be fused, our destinies shared. As the moon bears witness, let no force unmake this Oath.”

Stay away from Moon. Ocean: I won't. She said, keeping her head high. Zeus: I'm going to say this once. Stay away from my brother or else. He said angrily. To which she glared at him and yelled at him bravely. Ocean: Or else what? Zeus: Or else I will kill you painfully. Ocean should have been crying by now but not this time. She fisted her hands and yelled at him again confidently. Ocean: Then kill me. Because you can only separate me from moon by killing me. I'm not afraid of your stupid sick threats. I love Moon and I don't give a damn to what you think. I love him and he loves me back. And you can't separate us ever.

His wolves flanked him, the air around them crackling with restrained violence. The rogue leader stumbled backward, his confidence faltering for the first time. “Luca…” Luca tilted his head, slow and deliberate. Dangerous. “You have three seconds to explain why you’re in my territory.” The rogue leader straightened, his bravado returning. “We came for her.” He motioned to Raven. “She’s Moonborn, isn’t she? You know what that means.” Luca didn’t blink. “I do.” “Then you know we can’t allow her to live.”

Any oath with the moon goddess was like a summon for punishment, one could easily meet its doom if one was not careful. "I swear on the moon goddess, I will not tell anyone about your secret affair if you drive Odessa out of the pack in a week.” I raised my two fingers to the sky to seal the deal. Her eyes widened slightly when she heard my words, "A week? That's not possible-” "Not my problem.” I dismissed her concerns resolutely and pointed at the locked door. "Open it now.”

His voice echoed through the church, deep and commanding. "Under the witness of the Moon Goddess, we gather here to bind what fate has written in the stars. A blood oath, sealed by the sacred chalice, will determine the path forward.” I felt my heart pound against my ribs. Lucas stepped forward, his gaze locked with mine. “Do you, Ariana, swear to uphold the oath of the Moon? To accept the will of the Goddess, no matter the cost?” My breath hitched, but I managed to nod. “I do.”

truly meant. I had been eighteen, standing in the clearing beneath the silver glow of a full moon. My heart had thumped wildly as the Moon Goddess’s gift became tangible—Maxwell, tall and commanding, Alpha of Silverfang Pack, our destinies supposedly intertwined. The bond surged, intoxicating and undeniable, as if the universe itself had pulled me toward him. The pack had gasped, murmuring with awe. The elders nodded solemnly, the way they did when acknowledging sacred rites. For a brief, beautiful moment, I had believed my mother’s words.
