The Pledge The Book Novels & Stories

Upon the new command base located at the northern district of New Hope city, Kent and His captain and countless others stood silently as they looked upon the black stone tablet that held the names of countless warriors that gave their lives in the battle. Kent sighed looking upon his glass “Warriors of Faith hear me, Today we stand on the edge of a promise made long ago, a promise to our families and brothers who fell defending Requiem, we swore that day to defend the innocent and punish the treacherous. On this day, we stand before our brothers both old and new to right the wrongs of the past and pave a new future together. I ask you to raise thy glass in honor of the fallen and may the god

After some stretches, he teaches Eileen some ways to prevent her from being hurt by someone. “Why can’t I use my promise?” She asked. “ You can’t use your promise to an outsider, it's against the law of our world. Like outside we have leaders but the strongest leader is unknown. They say he has a family and he’s living as an outsider but we don’t know what promise he had, no one knew who he was and no one saw him fight in battle.” Eileen answered with a yawn, he chuckled seeing that side of her.

I smile. "Let's go back to the pack house and celebrate, kay? You two will do great. You will choose your third by picking some of your pack members and fight with them, if you saw someone who deserve to be a third, then appoint him as your third in command. You are the Alpha from now on." Patting his back, he smiled at me and both him and Charles came in front of me, their fist closed and place it on top of their right chest. "I, Earl James Blaine, accepting the Alpha position of Red Moon Struck pack, I promise to protect the pack in all my power. My loyal will stay on my pack." Earl stated, his voice is firmed and powerful, He is now a true alpha.

He took the pledge of his men in pieces of his time, and in time again that little but tight mindweb surrounded him, only this time, he enjoyed having their trust, and he swore the same oath to them-- "I pledge my loyalty to you, too, as your Alpha, and I swear to protect you as my own so long as you are mine." It was not a traditional oath, and though most of the men was too tough to say it out loud, their heart secretly melted for their young, brilliant Alpha. But of course, there wasn't all peace and happy in his little paradise-- "Alpha, there are ten more rogues arranged for taking the pledge tomorrow," Simon held a little ragged notebook with a tiny pencil in his huge hand as he went t

The world outside moved on as if nothing had happened but for Sarah, time had shattered just like the wine glass she had dropped the night before. She sat in her small apartment, numb, as the city buzzed beyond her window. The betrayal still clawed at her chest, a relentless ache she couldn't shake. She had spent the night tossing and turning, replaying James’ cruel words over and over. "You never matched my status." "Chloe does." Sarah’s fingers tightened around the coffee mug in her hands. She had given that man everything, her loyalty, her trust, her damn heart, only to be tossed aside like she was nothing.

"I'll promise, but first, you promise yourself: don't let it happen that you break the promise first." Isabella's expression turned confident, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "This can never happen." ****

Each new pack member stepped up to Noah, gazing admiringly at him in all his glory, stated their wish to take refuge in the pack, and then proudly spouted their pledge of allegiance: “I pledge allegiance to the Nightcrest Pack, its Alpha, and its Luna. I pledge my loyalty, my heart, and my life to the Pack and all it stands for. I hereby forfeit all loyalty and claim to previous packs and will, herein, be known as a member of the Nightcrest Pack.” Even the children stumbled through this mouthful of an archaic pledge. Then, starstruck, they watched as Noah raised his hands and gave them a blessing: “May the Moon Goddess watch over you and guide you through the rest of your days with all her g

Finn then looks at me and says, “Em, I need your hand.” Mindlessly, I lift my hand and hold it out to Finn, who then places a small cut on my palm. He then grabs Benjamin’s hand once more and holds them together, making sure that the cuts are aligned. I take a sharp breath in as I feel his blood mix with mine. Finn then says, “Emma Mason, do you accept Benjamin Creighton's pledge of loyalty?" Before I can even think, I say, "Yes..." "With the oath said, accepted and the mixing of the blood, as a witness to this pledge of loyalty, I deem it bound in blood and unbreakable.”

I said still using my body to shield Tomas. “How can he show us his loyalty and prove that his actions wasn’t his own?” Steffan asked behind us. Steffan and his fucking riddles, couldn’t he just give me the answer. My brain tried to come up with an answer, when I turned to look at Tomas; “Tomas, pledge yourself?” “What?” he whispered scared out his mind. “Pledge your loyalty to the Supreme Alpha, NOW!” “Okay, okay…” his voice was trembling. “I Tomas Jawson, pledge my self….”

“Tonight we gather not just for beauty and company, but for the children. Their future is our responsibility. And so, I invite you all to make your pledges.” The first to stand was a man in a navy suit, one of the older business tycoons. He raised his glass. “One hundred thousand,” he said firmly. Applause followed. Selene beamed, clutching the microphone tighter. A woman in diamonds stood next. “Fifty thousand.” “Bravo,” Selene called, clapping lightly. More voices rose, one after another. “Seventy-five thousand.” “Two hundred thousand.” “Fifty-five.” The pledges filled the air, each one a number, a promise, a performance.
