Author's note: This is from Seraphina's point of view

The day of the Blood Moon has come, the perfect time for making blood oaths, how Sergio explained it.
Some parts of the mansion are still pending to be completed, mostly fit-and-finish in the common areas, but the structural work is done, and the house is equipped with gas, water, electricity, and high-speed internet. The kitchen is ready to be used, and Maria made sure that our bedrooms and bathrooms are set up. With that, we have where to sleep, eat, and wash.
The oath ceremony will happen in the evening, and Duke and I came early that morning in order to scout the area and finalize our plans for setting security systems because we gave our construction crew two days off.
We arrived with Sergio, Zoe, Luca, and Ash.
Ash was helping Sergio set up the altar on the clearing, behind the garden.
