Voices overlapped. “I pledge.” “I pledge to Asher Mendoza.” “To the true Alpha.” A wave of heat rushed through my chest—familiar, but buried for so long. It wasn’t just magic. It was power. Authority. Bond. A connection born not from fear, but from choice.

He looked at me surprised, “I just told you that I am not forcing you to pledge your loyalty to me.” “And that is why I am pledging my loyalty. I am not a fan of someone trying to force my hand. Now that it is an option and not a demand, I am willing,” I smirk, “I, Willow Michelsen do hereby pledge my life and my loyalty to Alpha Ronan Wilkes and to the Blood River Pack.”

I square my shoulders, raising my voice so all can hear: “I pledge my loyalty to Silverpine—its land, its kin, its law. I pledge my loyalty to Rowan: first as my alpha, second as my friend, and third, should it ever be wanted, as mate. I will protect what I can, fight what I must, and never let fear choose my path.” I press the faintest flicker of power into the bone—too subtle for even the elders to notice.

George answered. "Soul hunter?.I don't get you".Blake shrugged. "He hunt souls that failed to fulfill Diemon's pledge".George replied.

We have to win whatever it takes. I inhaled a deep breath and started talking. “I am to lead the rescue of the underboss, as his wife, my husband’s safety is my responsibility—but your help will have a huge impact in making this a reality. We are a community, brothers not by blood but by objectives and purpose, I am his other half. Seeing the courage in all of your eyes inspires me to keep going and I am truly proud of this family you made me feel that I am a part of. I will take the pledge to do my duty to the organization and its people.” A cup fell off onto the floor. An elderly man stood up from a chair after hearing the word. The pledge is the ritual to prove the devotion towards the mi

But the air hummed with something darker, more primal. I nodded, my throat dry, clutching the invitation I'd received like a talisman. "Yes, sir. I... I want to join. I've done my research. I know what it means to pledge loyalty." My voice wavered, betraying the nerves twisting in my gut.

I could still feel it under my skin—like a signature, like a promise, like the moment a match thinks about being struck and decides it wants to be fire. “Paper,” I said softly, the word leaving a temporary fog on the window. “Promises.” And because I refused, on principle, to be the first to look away, I stood and let the city look back until dawn found us both.

"You thought this was a story of redemption, of a cursed boy and a girl with the power of the stars. But it is much simpler than that. It is a story of consumption." ​"You never cared about the Pact," Dave wheezed, stumbling forward, his strength rapidly failing him. He clutched his side, his shadow flickering unnaturally on the wall behind him. "You only wanted the power to rule the darkness." ​Catherine laughed, a sharp, brittle sound. "Power?

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.
