Oath And Honor Book Review Novels & Stories

The whispers of doubt and fear are replaced by a crescendo of pride as they recite the oath, their voices strong and clear. "I, Michael Rossi," he begins, his gaze never leaving mine, "swear to uphold the honor of our Family, to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and to lead with wisdom and courage." His voice is a testament to his father's legacy, a promise of continuity in the face of change.

“You spell it like leash.” Threads pour from Oathkeeper’s palm—clauses knotted to cut. Heat surges in me; my tongue reaches for curses I don’t respect. The pulse hits soft, close. The cords hesitate. I shove my flame where it has wanted to go since the first page turned: Into the book. Ink blisters and screams. POV: Oathkeeper Vows do not scream. Vows obey. I have kept the Ledger since God thought obedience was how kindness stood up straight. I bleed bonds from wrists to paper for those who forget.

He just… waited to hear my response when the principal asked if I am ready for the oath. I didn’t say anything Because I realized then, that nothing was just about me anymore. This oath, and this choice wasn’t just about packs, or magic, or fated mates. It was about the entire town. It was about who would hold power in Ravenfalls. It was about survival, loyalty, and bloodlines tangled in ways I barely understood. “Decide quickly,” the envoy said, cold and unyielding, stepping back to give me the space that felt too small already. “Time is… precious.”

"Is that his crime? He fell in love?" Alexander sighs heavily. "He took an oath," he says. "He vowed to care for no one but the Bratva, and to love none other than the Bratva. He broke that oath by loving another. Love is for the weak," he sneers. "It clouds your judgment. It makes you vulnerable. It makes you a liability. Loyalty is all that matters, Maria. Loyalty. Obedience. And honor."

Aaron said turning to me and looking down at me in gratitude. “What? How?” I asked, trying to not overwhelm him. “It was his funeral that day. I was feeling too lost, too sad. They were making me take the oath that very day. The oath of King. I didn’t want to but Mother was scared that people might look toward Chase or may be Chase might condense me and clearly, she didn’t have her trust in me. she was really hard on me that day, black mailing me to take the Oath but I was being stub born and didn’t almost even attend the funeral but then you came and gave me your magic hug, healing me. bringing things into perspective. Even then you saved me. that’s what fated being do, we are fated so don’

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.

Estrela’s mouth curved into a slow, satisfied smile– an expression of absolute conviction that felt utterly wrong on her face. “Imagine it,” Orgullo continued, his voice growing more fervent. “A world where no mother weeps for a child lost to fever. Where no soldier falls in a trench for a king’s greed. We will build a new world on the ruins of the old, and it will be perfect.” He stepped closer to the window, the moonlight illuminating the unnatural gold of her hair. “The Gods were nothing but tyrants who demanded worship in exchange for survival. I am offering survival without the cost of worship.” Inside, Estela was reeling. The logic was seductive, even in its madness. A world without wa

Each syllable weighed upon those who heard it — not like a threat, but like inevitability. Riven repeated the words after him, the echo rolling across the hall. There was no flourish in his delivery, no attempt to add warmth or intimacy. The words were legal, binding, severe. Above blood. Above desire. Kaelin’s chest tightened. Not because she loved him — not yet — but because she recognised what he had just committed to. The oath was not a statement of courage. It was a sentence. He was no longer merely a man of honour. He was a living instrument of structure, and she was now positioned to watch it bend and fracture under pressure.

His eyes bore into mine, cold and relentless, like shards of ice piercing through my defenses. “Let me explain something to you,” he says softly, dangerously. “You don’t get to walk away. You don’t get to dictate terms. The moment you stepped into my world, you became mine. Didn't you get the underlying meaning behind the oath? It's meant to bind.” His words settle over me like a shroud, suffocating and inescapable. For the first time, I realize that he’s not bluffing. He’s not posturing. He means every word.

Sergeant Cole, Maya, and Alex also listened attentively, seemingly intrigued by the alternative view I presented. " These tales were more than just stories; they were a promise," I continued. "An oath that we, the descendants of those he saved, would honor and follow him when he returned. Our ancestors believed in his righteousness, in his unwavering commitment to protecting the innocent and vanquishing evil."
