Novel & Cerita These Hollow Vows Series Order

Now that her child is gone, you will pay the price! "You want a voice? Try again in your next life!" He picked up a bowl of medicine and grabbed my throat, forcing it toward my mouth. I clenched my teeth shut and struggled. He forced my jaw open. The medicine was about to pour in. I had no strength left to resist. If I drank it… I would truly become mute this time. Forever. Connor… how could you be this cruel?

The priest’s voice echoed through the room: "You may now seal your vows with a kiss." Avery’s heart pounded, expecting nothing more than a brief, emotionless peck. David leaned in, his movements slow, deliberate. But when their lips met, it wasn’t the chaste touch she had anticipated. His kiss was filled with a surprising passion, something she hadn’t prepared for. His hand pressed against the small of her back, pulling her closer, his lips lingering longer than necessary. A whirlwind of conflicting emotions swirled inside Avery—confusion, irritation. ‘This isn’t part of the plan,’ her mind screamed. And yet, her body betrayed her.

"Let him speak." Lightning tore the sky as Elder Salvius entered the circle, dripping rain and blood. "There is one more oath to be unbound before the new one can stand. One more chain. One more truth." Everyone held their breath. ------- Fire in the Garden: The sun cast long shadows across the Garden of Hollow Vows as Isabella moved silently beside Catherine. The silence was thick, not with fear, but with grim expectation. The final days of reckoning had arrived, and in their wake, truths long buried clawed their way to the surface.

“If you follow me, there are rules. No Council. No alphas. No forcing loyalty.” The silver-scarred man nodded. “We choose you.” My wolf roared approval. The woman stepped forward again. “My name is Seris. We call this place the Hollow. It’s hidden—warded by old magic. The Council hasn’t breached it in decades.” Relief fluttered briefly in my chest. Too briefly. A sharp cry echoed from the edge of the clearing. A scout burst from the treeline, blood streaking his face. “They’ve found us!”

The priestesses gathered around Olivia again, forming a perfect circle. Zara raised her hand. White fire spun between her fingertips. “To join forces with the Pact, you must take the Red Moon Vow.” Olivia nodded. “I’m ready.” “You are not,” Eun-Ji whispered. “No one is.” Zara continued. “The vow requires blood, breath, memory, and truth. If you break the vow, you die. If you fail the vow, you die. If the Widow takes you first…” Her eyes flicked to Ethan. “Then he dies.”

I look down at my hands. “Two cries. That was the deal. One when I found out. One when it was over.” I lift my head again. “But then the third time was after the reception, when the dress was gone and I stood in front of that same mirror. Same bathroom. Same woman staring back. Just me. I cried that night because it was real. The vows had shattered before they were ever spoken. The betrayal was already written into the day. I cried when I allowed myself to feel it, because I was done pretending.

Like a ball of flame, it raced through my body, threatening to turn both me and my unborn pup to ash. At that moment, I finally understood. Every vow had been a lie. My unborn pup and I had been nothing but a joke. I had been nothing but a mere tool. The last thread of light vanished, and darkness swallowed me whole. My consciousness began to blur. The red antidote—the only thing that could counter wolfsbane—was the final thread keeping me awake. Right then, cold and familiar footsteps echoed from the distance. I struggled to open my eyes, my vision blurry, only to make out two figures entwined together.

The shadows behind him moved. Hundreds of wolves stepped out of the treeline. But they weren't wolves anymore. Their fur was matted with the same oily purple mist. Their eyes were vacant, their jaws dripping with a viscous, dark fluid. "The New Order is a lie, Victor," Silas’s voice sounded like two stones grinding together. It didn't come from his throat; it came from the ground. "You killed the gods of the sky, but you forgot about the ones in the dirt. The void doesn't just take. It gives."

Serena ordered and pulled Aria to the front seat of the van and loading her in. Moran turned back to the SUV and got in the driver’s seat. They did a head count to make sure no one had run off to try and stay. The van held Poppy, Drayce, Terra, Celia, and Aria. In the SUV was Winston, Bryant, and Gail. After they left the driveway, Madison reached out and took Anders’ hand. “Let’s get ready for the vampire, Vasili.” She sighed. “Yes, Vasilia. Let’s make him regret trying to hurt our mates again.” He snarled and turned back to the house.

Love wasn’t. I poured another drink and handed it to her. “To new alliances,” I said. Jessica took the glass, her fingers steady as she clinked it lightly against mine. “To new alliances,” she echoed. But we both knew… It was only a matter of time before one of us broke the deal. And when it happened, I’d make sure it wasn’t me. The drink was still cold in her hand when I decided. I wasn’t going to take her word for it. I needed action. Proof.
