Dani quickly caught me, helping me back to sit on the sofa again. “It’s done. Khalid has made what I suppose you could call an unbreakable vow. We call it the blood oath. Anything we say to him, he cannot repeat or use in a way that could harm us. The blood oath will take every drop from his veins if he does.” Isis explained, looking a little shaky herself.

"Repeat after me. I, say your name," We all followed along. "...by the blood of my body, do swear..." "by the blood of my body, do swear," "...to take this oath to my grave." "to take this oath to my grave." "...I will not speak about family matters with outsiders. I will not betray any action or deed ordered by the Don. I will not betray a brother or sister. I will do nothing to endanger a brother or sister." I looked at Nico as I repeated the last sentence.

Damian said as Benjamin nervously glanced at Lilith. "Come on, don't be cowards. Swear, or face my wrath." Alpha Damian circled them, his piercing gaze intensifying the pressure. The men exchanged uneasy glances before finally, with reluctant determination, they placed their hands on the pot of thunder. "I-I... I swear." Benjamin muttered, and the woman in the black dress swallowed hard. "I swear too." She said so, and so did the last man. The oath echoed in the air, sealing their fate as the pot of thunder absorbed the solemn words, their significance hanging heavily in the air.

"I, Michael Rossi," he begins, his gaze never leaving mine, "swear to uphold the honor of our Family, to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and to lead with wisdom and courage."

A vow slips out, quiet - “I promise” - yet it stains my mouth like something spoiled. His lips touch mine - short, firm, sealing the deal. "Fine," he says, stepping back. "Show me whatever the Penance had on board."

It felt like the weight of the entire clan pressed against my chest. I turned to my brothers, my eyes burning with unshed tears, and I demanded what I thought was right. “Swear it,” I told them, my voice rough like gravel. “Swear that you will never again believe in the moon goddess.” Rowan, fierce and loyal, gave his vow first. “I swear it,” he said with conviction, his fist over his chest. Damien followed, quieter but no less firm. “I swear.” Then I turned to Lucian, expecting to see that same fire in his eyes.

That couldn’t happen again. -I mean it, Maddy. That was… I lost a piece of myself while you were gone, and considering everything else that was going on, it was the worst pain I’ve ever felt. So I need you to swear to me you will never do that again. Do you hear me, Maddy? I need you to swear it. I want you to swear on the life of our children that you will never just vanish without a word again. Do you swear?- -Of course, I swear it.- Maddy replied. -I vow on the lives of our children, that I will never disappear without explaining things to you first.-

Sofia sat there stunned, and her eyebrows were knitted in severity rather than shock now. “Is what you said true?” she asked in a serious voice. “I swear on my life. If I were lying, I would die in a car accident the moment I walked out the door.” Ciara raised her hand and promised immediately.

"Swear it." I say the words carefully. Blood oaths are tricky. Words can be manipulated and will bring about undesired results. She speaks her words, but at the very last second, adds an additional clause to the oath. "For as long as I remain in Neredia, your attention and your ears will be mine alone. When I call for you, you will heed, regardless of what it might cost you. You will never refuse me."

One of the maids said. "Sir, I don't have any relatives, children, or wives to swear upon, but I can swear on my two legs that I was not involved with the omega." One of the drivers announced. Following his statement, the entire hall became a busy bee with people swearing here and there on their body parts, family members, properties, and even their bank accounts. "Shut up!" Gabriel screamed. The hall became quiet again. At that moment, everyone was on their knees. Some were sobbing, others were praying, and the remaining ones kept silent.
