Orange Lantern Oath Novels & Stories

"Okay. And what do you want me to do?" "Very good," she cooed in a sickenly sweet voice. "The first thing that you're going to do, is to relinquish your place as the Luna of this pack, and hand it over to me." My father shook his head despite a knife literally being at his throat. "Don't listen to her, Orla. Give her nothing." "I can see that you are very eager to die," Ophelia said, right before embedding the knife right underneath his collarbone. When she pulled it back out, blood spilled out of the wound, turning his once crisp baby blue shirt to dark red.

“There’s a flower. Lunaria. It’s said to bloom only in the Moon Goddess’s purest light. I had a bracelet made for her, woven from the petals. As long as she wears it, the Death Goddess can’t get a foothold. It acts as a shield, a barrier. But it’s not a cure. It’s a bandage on a gaping wound. It’s the only thing that keeps my Queen from becoming a monster.” A heavy silence descended on the table. The torches crackled, the only sound in the world. Finally, the oldest of the Elders, a man with a long, white beard named Faelan, spoke. His voice was a low rumble, like stones grinding together deep underground.

"Yes." "Do you swear to uphold the Pack's values, contribute to the betterment of our community, and shun all things that could be detrimental to us?" "Yes." "Recite your oath." Lance stood up, pressed his right hand above his heart, and then turned around to look at the assembled members of the Galway Pack. "I, Lance," he said, voice loud and clear. It shouldn't have been surprising to hear him address himself with his first name only, considering that he was a Rogue, but it still made me wonder if the rumors were true.

“They want this orb? Let them try. I’ll destroy them, especially after what they did to me! I’ll burn them to ash before they touch Katula or the fairies. This orb is power—life, death, everything and it belongs to me now!” Arineth’s face softened, just for a moment, but the fire didn’t fade. “They tried to kill us! Take everything from us and I will make sure they regret it! They would not stop until they burned everything we love. I won’t let their king. Not after what he did to my mother, to Sumani.” He turned to the elders, his voice rising, carrying the weight of a promise. “This orb is ours now, and we’ll use it to protect Katula. But we need to move—strengthen the wards, rally the war

"I swear upon the Moon Goddess that I will protect you for the rest of my life and will be forever loyal, till death do us part." Perhaps that night's moon was too bright, or because his passionate gaze overwhelmed me—we started dating after that. Yet Orion's ring was on his son's neck, when the rings were supposed to signify an oath. Orion avoided my gaze right then, his mouth open but no words coming out. "Oh, the bone ring?" Dahlia smiled with subtle smugness. "It's Orion's present to Emery when he was born. He hopes Emery will grow up strong just like him—"

“And if that flame ever returned in another, reborn, not resurrected, we would fall silent until the world was ready.” Kael stepped back. He knew these words. He had heard them in Elara’s voice, once, in her final war council. But he hadn’t known they were literal. He looked to Oren. “You’ve been bound by this vow for… how long?” Oren opened his mouth. No sound came. Instead, he pulled back his collar, revealing a scar carved across his throat in the shape of the crescent rune. Not a wound. A seal. Kael’s breath caught.

I walked towards my chamber defeated as I changed into mourning clothes. *FLASHBACK* "Yes, no matter what you do you are still you. The coronation will be held tomorrow where you will take the oath. Many people before you have taken the oath, some have done the right thing while the others did against it. Some fell and some rose. But it matters to no one because it was their choice. History always remembers the valiant, not the coward. Learn from the mistakes of your elders." *FLASHBACK END*

Orie said as he stood up "...is that sometimes, we are required to make declarations before we take action" "This is so that whoever is making a move against us is given the chance to back out" "But if they do not take heed, we shall fulfill the declaration without fail" "You've heard al the words in the declaration I just made" he said as he put his hands together and caused all the chains to shatter "Do you still want to go against me?"

I reverted back to Oscala, I bit my finger, drew blood and stamped on the document. Oscala stepped down a stair and held document up above his head. “By the power rested in me as the priest of the goddess I bind this oath made in blood with the power of the goddess. Everyone and their descendants, every people being represented today, shall spend their lives protecting this unity. They cannot break from it unless the goddess will it so and anyone who goes against the will of this oath will suffer the wrath of the goddess.” Everyone bowed to accept the proclamation. Oscala put it down, packaged it well and he left first to keep it in the temple of the goddess. I ordered for the celebration to

I swallow hard. “Do you swear to be honest and true to your Alpha? To be fair and just to your people? And above all else, put the pack’s welfare about your own?” “I do.” Orrin hands Lorcan a small dagger, which he uses to prick his thumb. He then holds it over an intricate bowl filled with water. His blood drips inside, turning the water red. Lorcan then takes my hand and pricks my thumb. I gasp quietly but say nothing as he holds my hand over the bowl, letting my blood mix with his.
