Promises We Meant To Keep Novels & Stories

The other clan plan to hunt him down like a dog. This was a survival of the finest. That when reality hit her. They are all by themselves. ''These women were sent here to kill me by the other clans. They have infected them with a poison that can only be spread by contact. '' Ondo, I have come to be your wife; I won't betray you as they did.'' '' How can you be so sure?'' Ondo said '' Because I have made a promise to your mother to take care of you.'' She replies

“I know you and understand that you are just a kid, you might even forget many things when you grow up, but I know you will never forget this day… The day that your parents and Pack members were burned to death. Thus, I also know that you will never forget what I just told you. But my child, you will have to promise me something… Never reject him when you find him. No matter what, you must protect and be there for him always. And listen, even if you meet hundreds of Mates in the future but without the name Ashton, then you will have to know that they are not your Promise Mate.” The queen's mother said to the little boy, who was just looking at her as if he could understand what the queen was

I owed them honesty. "This isn't ending by itself." No one looked surprised. "You all know that." Another quiet nod moved through the room. "I won't promise easy days ahead." Because I couldn't. "I won't promise quick victories." Because those didn't exist. "But I will promise this." I let my gaze settle on each person in turn. "We decide what kind of people we are." Not our enemies. Not fear. Not circumstances. Us. I drew a slow breath. "We protect each other."

"We both know you won’t hesitate in doing the same for us. You can’t put yourself in danger to save any of us, do you promise?" We both gaze at each other, and I nod. Our pinkie fingers were locked together with a smile on our faces. What the three of us failed to realize, was that we all had our hands to our backs, with two fingers crossed against each other, as we made these promises, knowing for a fact that if ever a situation arises which required any of us risking our lives for the other, we would do it in a heart beat, not minding the repercussions.

“We promised each other forever, and I intend to keep that promise, no matter what.” Her words offered a glimmer of hope amidst the uncertainty, a reminder of the unbreakable bond we shared. With a heavy heart, I relented, conceding to her wishes despite my reservations. As we embraced, I couldn't shake the feeling of impending loss and the fear of what the future held for us.

“You fucking promised me, over and over again. You said we’d keep fighting. You said we’d never sell. You said this was ours as long as you lived...” “Sadie...” I threw my hand out, shaking. “No. Don’t you even fucking try to calm me. I stayed, remember? I stayed when the barns were empty. I stayed when I had acceptance letters from design schools I had to throw in the trash because you begged me not to go. You said we had something worth saving.” He tried to stand, but his body barely moved. His hands were trembling harder. His chest was heaving. “I know what I said,” he rasped. “God damn it, Sadie, I know what I promised.”

But sure we as hell kept them. For the next fifty years, Stella, Dakota and I all kept every single promise we made that day, without fail. Because when a goddess makes a promise, she keeps it.

I was the simple-minded fool that General Adelaide Knight had pulled from a pile of corpses on the battlefield. The poison had been too severe. I survived, but my mind never fully recovered. When people hit me or cursed at me, all I ever did was stare blankly and smile. Adelaide took pity on me. She brought me into her home and refused to let anyone mistreat me. She once said, "Reed may be a fool, but he's my whole life." And like a fool, I believed her. For five years, I followed her everywhere like a shadow. Then Fabian Ortega returned to the capital. He looked so much like me that we could almost have been brothers. He'd been poisoned, and none of the doctors knew how to save him. Hi

After the seventy-eighth time my husband's mistress sent me photos of the two of them together, I posted every one of them online. The girl cried until her face was ruined, screaming that she had no way to go on living. A second later, Nathan's call came through. "Take it down." I didn't. Ten minutes after that, every social account I owned was logged into from somewhere else in the country. Posts deleted. Accounts closed. The trending topic pulled. Start to finish, it took Nathan less than ten minutes. Three days later he came to me with divorce papers and said, gently, "It's only a trick to keep her quiet. Be good. Play along." I nodded and signed. After he left, I changed my pren

he asked. "No. I'm... resting." He sat beside me. "I ran once too. From a bad place. But I stopped. I wanted to grow up, not run forever." I smiled. "What made you stop?" "Someone gave me a promise. That life could be better. So, I stayed." Promise. That word stuck with me. Back in my motel, I opened the notebook again and flipped to a blank page. I wrote: Make one promise and keep it. I picked up Eliza’s prepaid phone.
