Oaths And Omissions Novels & Stories

"The oath is gone, Garrick. Which means the immunity tied to it is gone with it. Reign owes you nothing more than what any pack member owes another. Which, given everything, isn't much." The hall goes so silent I can hear a pin drop. Garrick's eyes snap to Reign, then back to Moira. "You can't… the terms were already fulfilled. He already reinstated me…" "He reinstated you under the protection of an oath that no longer exists," Elder Moira counters. "Without the oath, there's nothing stopping this council from trying you properly for treason, conspiracy, and endangering pack members. Which, as it happens, is exactly what we're going to do."

**POV: Aria** The oaths came first. That was the order Elder Maren had explained in the days before the ceremony, drawing from both the traditional Silvermoon installation protocol and the older Moonshard texts she had been preserving for thirty years. The oaths to the pack before the oaths to each other, because the people came first and everything else was built on that foundation. Caden spoke his oath to the pack.

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

The coldness from the diamond stones sent a shiver down my spine. He shifted my hair back when he was done and from the polished desk, I caught sight of him staring down at me. “What do you mean by omertà?” I was confused. “It's an oath of silence and loyalty. And it comes with a huge price to pay once broken.” “What price?” I dared to ask. He stopped his actions. At that point I knew I shouldn't have asked. “Your blood and that of everyone you care about.” My breath hitched. I spun around immediately to face him. “You said both my family and I would be protected once I sign the contract!”

She cried wildly and he hmmphed. Is she serious right now? Or is she thinking that if she begs, I'll let her go? Isn't that just stupid? “What was the oath that you guys took when you entered my organization!” I asked and she blinked. “Uhm..Sir?” “It's a simple question! What was the oath?” I asked again and she blinked. “The oath was to never betray any members of the FIENDS, Especially the boss!” She mumbled and I nodded. “Good, so If you couldn't keep to that rule, how sure am I that you would be able to keep to this one?” I asked and she blinked.

Victor tried to argue. "So... About that... I was looking at the oath and the words that were spoken... There is a loophole." Ishtar finished eating the pieces of chocolate and put the container aside. "When you found Ayla, your mate, another person was added... They do not commit to protecting her, obey her, or have any obligation to her. Of course, that's not all, because I think things were going on well before you found her... But the flaw in the oath is that the heads of houses are loyal to you, but your subordinates are loyal to the heads of houses... At least those who haven't sworn to you personally."

Just as Kirou was contemplating this, he received a message from the system. [System: A is a sacred vow that uses a person's life as a guarantee. Should the person who initiates the oath lie about the contents of the oath or break the oath after making it, they will be struck down by a blood-red lightning bolt from the heavens, turning them to ash instantly. Due to this very condition, individuals would usually shy away from making such an oath when dealing with strangers as it limits their actions under the conditions of the oath while the stranger is free of any such restriction.]

One by one they nodded in assent. The discussion had sparked a fire within them, fueling their ambitions and setting the stage for a new era of collaboration and dominance. “Gentlemen, if we’re to succeed in this alliance, we must swear a blood oath. This path will bind us together in a common cause, and it will symbolize our commitment to one another. It’s a sacred bond, forged in blood, and it cannot be broken. Do you accept this oath?” I paused letting the weight of the words sink in.
