Sacrifice 소설 & 이야기

“To belong to a famiglia who always have your back. Certain sacrifices are required in return.” Amber so wanted to continue this father daughter talk, but it would likely only get her into trouble.

They splashed water on the bonfire — declaring war and death if the ‘Word of Honor’ is not met. “10 years ago, you promised me one of your daughters, George Starling.” Alpha Kevin growled, long claws growed on his fingers. “I am here to claim that promise.” Corinthian tried to stop the word of honor from happening. In the end, the noble steed of our pack was killed. Now here I am. I was prepared to surrender. But this… this is too much! "Can you stop staring at me?” I whispered, voice trembling in shame and anger. “Can you… can you please leave and give me some time. Alone. I just —”

“You don’t get to decide that, Sasha. If it means saving you, I’ll do whatever it takes.” Sasha shook her head, tears streaming down her face. “Kael, you can’t. I won’t let you.” Lucien cleared his throat, drawing their attention. “The sacrifice doesn’t have to be a person,” he said cautiously. “But it will require something of immense value—something tied to the one performing the ritual. It could be their power, their memories, even their soul.” Kael didn’t hesitate. “Then we’ll do it. Whatever it takes.”

“I’ve done nothing but destroy Lena. If my death can save you, save all of you, then it’s the least I can do.” The figure raised a hand, silencing the room. “Sacrifice is not merely about death. It is about relinquishing what is most precious. Zara, what you offer is steeped in guilt, not redemption.” The words struck Zara like a blow. She shook her head and balled her fists.

Even as the netizens were sent into an uproar, Aldric continued, "Before performing the ritual, Ms. Gianna begged that I keep it a secret forever. She said she didn't want Liam to feel guilty or be burdened by her sacrifice. To protect his pride and dignity, she would rather be misunderstood." Unfurling the scroll, he showed it to the camera and revealed the details of the ritual, including the process and the conditions of the sacrificer. "Bloodline sacrifice is the most dangerous and taboo ritual of all. The sacrificer will lose all their power, resulting in a slo

"The doctor said that this is forever. I could never run or jump like a normal person, let alone swim. "I gave up my leg for your son. What did I get in return? For him to abandon me without any hesitation in the face of a flood. What right do you have to beg me for mercy?" Donald lost his temper. "So, what the hell do you want? We've knelt and apologized.
