Oaths And Omissions Novels & Stories

He had left it unread because some part of him had not wanted to know what was on it and that part had won, and now a woman who had walked into his Keep with her books and her grey eyes and her refusal to be managed was carrying a death sentence she did not know about. He stood up. "The Covenant witness," he said. "Is she still in the Keep?" "She is at the east guest quarters," Caius said from the doorway. "She leaves in three days Alpha." "Bring her to me." "Now?" "Now." Caius left. Orion walked to the window and looked out at the dark yard and thought about eleven lines of Covenant language and what they meant and what he was going to do about them. He could not undo the contract. It was s

"Unusual for a Hollingsworth. Usually, they wait until they inherit the debt before they start barking." "He is speaking out of turn," Lawrence snapped, his jaw tightening as a vein throbbed violently at his temple. He turned his glacial glare back to Adrian. "You will keep your mouth shut, eat your breakfast, and remember your place at this table. You are here to secure an alliance, not critique the balance sheet." "An alliance built on compromised foundations tends to collapse under its own weight," Adrian shot back, the words tasting like copper on his tongue. Lawrence slammed his hand against the mahogany table, rattling the silver cutlery and spilling dark coffee over the edge of Arthur

Even though the betrayer's name hadn't been revealed yet, he had already figured out who it was. Then why had he kept silent about the betrayer's identity all this time, swallowing his sense of betrayal alone? As Valentine had told Don Cariello, when entering the world of the mafia, they take an oath of omertà. That oath includes a vow to punish anyone who breaks the code of omertà, no matter the cost.

But they didn't know that Tori only took a gamble for the sake of her best course of action. Lady M and the second prince agreed and signed an oath contract. An oath contract was a sacred contract and only a few choose to use this. After signing and reading all the terms and conditions, the three burned the contract together. It was a sign that it was a promise that only the three of them knew. As nobles, Lady M and the second prince respected the oath contract, leaving Tori to feel secure.

I can't stand him for one minute, then how will i my whole life. But then ma's face came in my mind and I refrain myself to leave. After calming myself I glanced him and started again. "As you want me to be loyal to this marriage, I expect the same from you" I said with a serious face. I placed this condition because although we won't share a relationship of husband and wife but marriage is scared bond and i don't want in future due to his extra activities, my name would be spoiled. "You are joking right!!! As far as i know that is my life and i won't move according to your wish" he barked

He hadn't kept his eyes nor hands off of me, it had made me feel special. With the fire crackling in the fireplace I could feel myself being lulled to sleep after listening to the light sound of the rain until he finally spoke making me look up at him. "You asked me why I can't just leave that life," he breathed staring up at the ceiling. "Truth is baby, I'm trying to," he replied releasing a heavy sigh that held within it the frustration of a man attempting to cut off any ties, "that's part of what I've been doing lately. But it's not easy to just walk away once you take the oath ." The oath he was referring to was a blood oath that was a part of a ritual that originated from Roman-Catholic

“How can I work with someone whom I still believe killed my mom.” “And I believe your family has done plenty of killing too,” he replied evenly. “But tonight isn’t about old blood. It’s about staying alive.” My hands were still shaking from the fight. I set the gun down. “On one condition. We share everything we find. No secrets. The second we know who the Swan is, we go our separate ways.” Luciano nodded slowly. “Deal. But you stay here until it’s safe. No running off to your father half-cocked.”

Then I dipped the pen into ink. “This is an oath.” “Oath?” I looked at him briefly. “You said you’d do anything.” “I will.” “We’ll see how much you can do for me.” I began writing carefully. “Let it be known that the intended union of Jane and Theo shall stand and be held in good faith only upon the condition that Theo shall perform no fewer than three of the desires set forth by Jane ere the rites of matrimony be solemnized. Should Theo fail to accomplish all three, this covenant shall be rendered null and void from its inception, as if it had never been entered into, and both parties shall be released from all obligations herein.”

His wolf surged beneath his skin, tense, alert, ready. “She’s right,” Rafe said, voice low, deadly calm. “We’ve been compromised. Operation routes leaked. Someone on the inside is feeding information to our enemies.” The council froze. Murmurs erupted into sharp accusations. Eyes darted, jaws clenched, claws flexed in metaphorical aggression. “Who ?” someone demanded. “Who betrayed us?”

I asked them. “Do you take a Luna Oath that you witnessed these crimes?” Thompson asked me. “I do.” He turned to Ziyah (who had her appearance glamoured to be on the safe side) and asked her the same thing. Then he asked Kade and Dante about their Alpha Oath. If that oath turned out to be broken by false testimony, then our titles would be permanently stripped. It was a very serious matter. “We come into this pack and apprehend those who are culpable. Some of our warriors will secure the building where the innocents are housed. After all of this, we’ll have to figure out what to do with them. I highly doubt everyone has somewhere to go,” Diego explained.
