Chapter 55: The Blood Oath
"...Now, you may step forward." The Shaman announced, once Daniel was done with the oath. He nervously did and pulled out his wrist just like the Shaman ordered.
During the entire time, he would catch Naomi’s eyes in the crowd and when they locked eyes, she would pretend to look somewhere else.
He was literally shot in the stomach by Kitsunes and they had bodly told him they would kidnap Naomi and take her away; probably to hurt her. Barton had his eyes on her during the party and entire oath but he just wanted to make sure.
These creatures were sneaky and what was worse? They could morph into anyone and he wouldn’t have a clue.
Just as he brought forth his wrist, he didn’t recognize a bowl placed underneath it.
"Argh!" He winced, slightly bending his knees, his wince resounded In the entire party venue, startling Dora who wasn’t used to seeing Daniel in pain.
The Shaman stepped back with a strange looking saber, stained with dark red blood.
He badly wanted to swear. The goddess knew how much this hurt badly but the Shaman strictly ordered him to let every single drop of blood fall into the bowl.
People gasped and mummured in sympathy but it was the rites of the Alpha completing the blood oath.
Naomi felt a small pang of pain on her wrists just watching every drop of his blood fall into the bowl.
Brittany held her shoulders and she realized she was standing amongst the crowd with Talia and a familiar bouncy-haired blonde girl who had joined them to dance a moment ago. She was actually a fun person, jovial and wild but Naomi couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity with her.
