Promised Sans Novels & Stories

She is still a kid, so she definitely does not know anything about life. "Daddy always gets us something whenever he promises us... Uncle Max always does whatever he promised us to do, and the ones he never promised us, he never did them. So, I think promise is a strong thing that validates things," She shrugs, and I slowly nod my head. "So, do you mean your daddy never goes back on his words?" I ask her for some reason I do not understand. "Yes... He has never gone back on his words," She replies to me, and I nod my head. I don't know why I'm suddenly scared, but something keeps telling me that something is wrong somewhere, although I can't picture what exactly it is.

No but, just promise me" " OK fine, promise " " Good. We will talk later" " OK bye" " Think about my brother instead" Sakeena hung up with a sly smile before badiyya could reply. Wo! Thank God all is settled

Shining with an emotion I couldn’t name. Then he reached for my hand. Pressed a kiss against my knuckles. And finally said, “I promise.” I wanted to believe him. God help me, I wanted to. But something deep inside me whispered that promises were only as strong as the people making them. And for the first time in seven years… I wasn’t sure Damian believed his own. Hours later, Elena and Noah slept peacefully. But Damian remained awake. Sitting alone in the darkness. His phone illuminated his face. A single message glowed on the screen.

“That’s Josiah Salvador.” “Ohhh.” I knew the name. The young Alpha who had taken over Prosperity Springs Pack after his parents — the former Alpha and Luna — died in a plane crash. It had been all over the news a few months back, but I had never seen him in person. Something about his posture, the particular way he was holding himself, made it look like he was carrying a weight that had been set on his shoulders without his consent.

To him, we were truly just friends. I forced a grin. "As if." "Good." He nodded, shaking my shoulder. "We're best pals forever." Despite all the booze, I'd never felt so clear-headed. I echoed softly, "Best pals." ... The next morning, I booked a direct flight home. Before boarding, I took one last peek at my phone. Ted had posted a new update—a photo of him and Audrey, their hands laced together. No captions were needed. It was an official announcement, flooded with congratulations from their friends. I stared for a moment, then yanked out the SIM card and tossed it into the trash.

While adjusting his tie, he said, "After the photo shoot, I'm taking Isabelle to Holy Moon Spring for purification and blessing to keep the pregnancy safe. I'll be gone for about three days. "So you'll handle the ceremony arrangements. Just keep it simple.” He'd told me not to worry about it. But now he dismissed the day we'd spent five years waiting for with nothing more than a throwaway "keep it simple". I knew the bonding ceremony would never happen. Still, hearing him say it cut deep. Ryder picked up his keys. "Once it's all over, I'll give you the prime territory as compensation. You've always loved the forest by Silvercrest, haven't you?"

That vase had been something we’d constructed together, and our initials were carved into the base. Adrian rushed forward, gripping my arm. He brushed a hand over my cheek as if nothing else mattered. "It’s alright. I’ll buy you another one. Lauren, I know you’ve blamed yourself all this time for not being able to conceive. If you can’t, then we won’t. We’ll just adopt." He paused, then spoke carefully, "I have a friend abroad. His whole family died in an accident, leaving behind a two-year-old boy. Lauren, you’ll love him."

He will heal your wounds with his love and care. The future ahead of you is dangerous, my child, but always remember that with your “Promise Mate” beside you, both of you shall conquer your enemies. I don't know if you will remember this when you grow up, but never let what will happen today ruin your life, child. You have a bigger responsibility ahead. But you can never accomplish it without your “Promise Mate." The Oracle spoke gently to Theo, who kept nodding his head as if he understood what the old woman was saying

He didn’t even look at Dominic and pretended as though he hadn’t heard a word that was said. Dominic wasn’t deterred. He simply sat down and hung his head. Mr. Parker finally relented. "Alright, enough. The fact that you’ve come to your senses is already a blessing from above. Once you’ve recovered, report to the company." But Dominic did not get up. He remained where he was, his posture straight and resolute as he looked at them with unwavering determination. "Can I postpone that by two months? I’d like to get married first."

"You still have time to play your cards right," Greed had told her two weeks earlier with a firmness that sounded more like an order as he placed the contract in front of her. Lizzy held Greed's shrewd gaze and breathed deeply, looking worried. "It's a tempting offer, sir, I admit. But I also know that in your world, things can turn dangerous quickly.
