Chapter 435: How To Trigger A Mate Bond

"The same way people change, that’s the same way words do. Which is why we must swear this promise today, and let the heavens bear witness," Asher declared, firmly.

Violet didn’t know what she had done to deserve this level of dedication from her men—and they weren’t even fully mated yet. Honestly, she didn’t need them swearing anything. But once Asher made up his mind, there was no turning back. And besides, the others had already agreed.

All four of the Cardinal Alphas stood facing each other. Asher was the first to lift his hand and a single claw erupted from his finger. Without hesitation, he used it to slice open his palm and blood began to drip from the wound.

Understanding the mission, Griffin followed after Asher, slicing his palm without hesitation. Alaric and Roman did the same, their blood dripping in crimson rivulets onto the floor.

With his bloodied hand raised, Asher turned to face Violet fully. His expression was intense and unwavering.

"In the name of the Moon Goddess, who bore witness to our ancestors and the first pack’s rise," Asher declared, his voice solemn and sure, "I, Asher Nightshade of the West pack, swear this oath."

One by one, the others followed suit:

"In the name of the Moon Goddess, who bore witness to our ancestors and the first pack’s rise. I, Griffin Hale of the East pack, swear this oath."

"In the name of the Moon Goddess, who bore witness to our ancestors and the first pack’s rise. I, Roman Draven of the South pack, swear this oath."

"In the name of the Moon Goddess, who bore witness to our ancestors and the first pack’s rise. I, Alaric Storm of the North pack, swear this oath."

Then, in unison, they recited after Asher:

"I swear I will never raise arms, plots, or ambition against Violet Purple for the throne. Whether crown or command, I choose her. If she rises, I rise with her. If she falls, I fall beside her. But I will never be the hand that brings her down. If I fail, let the goddess deal accordingly with me."

As soon as the words left their mouths, they stepped forward and pressed their bleeding palms together, stacking them one on top of another.

"Let our blood bear witness."

A moment later, thunder cracked through the house like the heavens answering back. The walls trembled and Violet jolted. The Alphas were startled by the suddenness too.

"Did you do that?" Roman asked Alaric, narrowing his eyes.

"That wasn’t me," Alaric replied flatly.

But Roman wasn’t convinced.

Before another word could be said, Violet gasped, her eyes wide with shock.

"Guys, look," Griffin said, pointing to the floor.

They all followed his gaze just in time to see their spilled blood vanish. More like, it was absorbed into the ground as if the earth itself drank it. When they looked back at their hands, the wounds were gone, and their skin flawless and neat. There was not even a smear of blood.

A heavy stillness fell upon them, while goosebumps broke out across their skin.

Even Asher who had planned this hadn’t expected that. He had hoped their oath would mean something serious, but this felt sacred.

"I guess this means Momma Goddess just said yes," Roman said, breaking the silence with a low whistle.

...and finally have sex with her without risking death.
