As the day went on, Alpha Theo and Ashton went about their daily routines, but they did it together. They worked side by side by helping the pack memebers rebuilding and recovering from the battle. Alpha Theo helped with the cleanup efforts, using the strength he had to lift and move debris witj the warriors. Ashton, meanwhile, worked with the other pack members to tend to the wounded and make sure everyone was safe.As they worked, Ashton couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. He was part of a team, a team that was working together to protect their home. A place he can finally call home.He looked over at Alpha Theo, who was walking towards him with smile on his face. He looked at his mate with pride."I'm glad we're doing this together," Ashton said, walking over to meet Alpha Theo.Alpha Theo nodded, putting a hand on Ashton's shoulder and hugging him. "Me too," he said. "We make a good team."*********As the sun became hot in the aftet, Alpha Theo and Ashton sat down togethe
Ashton and Ricky were happily playing in the garden behind the pack house as if they had no care for the world. The sun was shining, and the flowers were in full bloom, making the scene look more magical. Ashton loved the smell of the flowers and how beautiful they were. He was chasing after Ricky, laughing and shouting, when they suddenly saw Sasha coming towards them.Ashton and Ricky immediately became wary of her. They had never really gotten along with Sasha, who was known for being fierce and intimidating. Not to mention how she hated Ashton for being a dragon. Ashton and Ricky had also come to know about Sasha's feelings for the Alpha.So... what could she possibly be doing there? Did she come to pick up a fight with them? Isn't she afraid that the Alpha would kill her if she dares to lay a hand on Ashton?But to their surprise, Sasha smiled at them and apologized for her rude behavior towards Ashton months ago."I'm sorry for the way I treated you, Ashton, or should I cal
As the sun began to set, Sasha, Ashton, and Ricky made their way back to the pack house. They were all tired but happy, with big smiles on their faces."Thanks for showing us around, Sasha," Ashton said, smiling at her. "You are really an amazing person. Sasha grinned back at him. "No problem, I had a great time too," she said.Ricky nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it was really fun," he said. "Thanks you Sasha!"Sasha smiled, feeling happy and content. "I'm glad you guys had fun," she said."I'm really glad we're friends now," she said."Me too," Ashton said. "I'm glad we could put the past behind us."Ricky nodded. "Yeah, it's great to have you as a friend, Sasha."Sasha smiled, feeling happy and content. "I'm glad to have you two as friends too," she said.As they said their goodbyes and headed off to their respective rooms, Ashton turned to Ricky and grinned."I'm really glad we're friends with Sasha now," he said. "She seemed pretty amazing."Ricky nodded in agreement. "Yeah, me too,
Sasha and Ricky's body laid in the grass emotionless. They didn't for how long they've been left there since they were unconscious anyway. Some warriors patrolling around the pack house saw the unconscious bodies of Ricky and Sasha lying on the ground. They immediately rushed to their side, panic etched on their faces. "Get them inside, now!" one of the warriors yelled without any delay. The warriors quickly picked up Ricky and Sasha and carried them inside the pack house. They screamed for attention which the got. Alpha Theo, Michael, Mason, Kelvin, and Elijah were all summoned to the scene. The stared at the unconscious bodies in confusion. But .ost importantly, why was there only Sasha and Ricky? Where's Ashton? Theo started to panic inside but tried to calm down and not to overreact. "What happened?" Alpha Theo demanded, his eyes scanning the room frantically as if anyone could tell him what was going on. The warriors explained how they found Ricky and Sasha unconsci
Ashton woke up in a dungeon, his mind foggy and his body aching. Where is this?He was confused and scared, unsure of where he was or how he had gotten there.The dungeon didn't look like his former prison cell at Alpha Nicholas' pack, and Ashton became scared of what would happen to him. He didn't even know for how many days he had been captured.He negr really got iver the nightmares he endured back then with Ricky. The only thing that kept those nightmares away was his mate, Alpha Theo. But now... he was back in a dungeon again, a place he never dreamt of revisiting. How did this happen?Then he remembered... those men in masks took him away after sedating Sasha and Ricky. But who are they and what did they wantt from him?As he looked around, Ashton saw that the dungeon was dark and damp, with stone walls and a cold, hard floor. There was a small window high up on one wall, but it was too small for Ashton to fit through. He was trapped. There was no way he would be able to esca
BEFORE THE RESCUE Alpha Theo and the rest of the pack had been searching for Ashton for a week now, but to no avail. It was as of he had vanished out ot the surface of the earth. They had scoured the forest, searched every inch of the pack's territory, and even ventured into neighboring lands, but there was no sign of Ashton. The pack had left no stone unturned, and yet, they had found nothing. It was as if Ashton had vanished into thin air. Not even a clue of him was found.Alpha Theo was growing more and more restless by the day. His wolf was pacing back and forth, anxious to find their missing mate. And Alpha Theo was feeling the strain, his mind racing with worst-case scenarios. He couldn't shake the feeling that something terrible had happened to Ashton, that he was in grave danger. The thought sent a chill down Alpha Theo's spine, and he knew that he had to find Ashton, no matter what it took.But it was more than just anxiety that was eating away at Alpha Theo. He was feel
The group nodded, their faces set in determined expressions. They knew that they had to be careful, that the rogues were likely to be armed and dangerous.With a fierce growl, Alpha Theo led the group towards the source of the scent, ready to face whatever dangers lay ahead. They were finally going to find Ashton, and nothing was going to stand in their way.As they turned a corner, they saw a dilapidated warehouse looming in front of them. The building looked abandoned, but Alpha Theo's wolf could sense that they were not alone."That's it," Alpha Theo growled, his eyes fixed on the warehouse. "That's where they're holding Ashton."The pearl in Elijah's hand also shimmered brightly, as if it could sense it other half nearby. The group nodded, their faces set in determined expressions. They knew that they had to be careful as they got down from theor trucks and walked slowly forward. As they approached the entrance to the warehouse, Alpha Theo could finally sense Ashton's scent. He
After they brought Ashton home safely, he never wanted to leave Theo's arms. Ashton always clung to Theo like a fabric, and the latter wasn't even complaining. He loved that his mate was finally back in his arms. It just felt so amazing.And besides, Theo loved the idea of Ashton by side so that he can keep an eye on him and protect him in case of what happened weeks ago reoccur.The pack was overjoyed to see Ashton safe, sound and bubbly again. Everyone visited him, including his two best friends, Ricky and Sasha. Sasha was visibly shaken with remorse, and Ashton could sense her guilt and regret."Ashton, I'm so sorry," she said, tears streaming down her face. "I should have protected you better. I feel like it's all my fault. I shouldn't have taken you out that day. I should have trained better to become much stronger. That way, I could have protected you." She said while sobbing. Ashton immediately reassured her, holding her hand in his. "Sasha, it's not your fault," he said fir
Ashton was no longer himself the next day. Despite Theo and Michael trying to cheer him up, he still felt down and didn't want to indulge them. Theo had informed everyone about Ashton and Elijah's soon departure, so the understand why Ashton wasn't I the mood to do anything. They didn't want to bother him. As Ashton's feet carried him back to his room, his mind was a jumbled mess of emotions, his heart heavy with the weight of his decision, a decision that had been made in haste, without fully considering the consequences, a decision that now seemed to be suffocating him, making it hard for him to breathe, to think, to feel anything other than a deep sense of unease. He had agreed to leave with Elijah, to start a new life, a new adventure, but now, as he thought about it, he realized that he wasn't ready, wasn't prepared to leave behind everything he knew, everyone he loved, especially Theo, the man who had captured his heart, the man who had made him feel seen, heard, and under
As the silence between them grew thicker, Theo knew he had to do something to break the tension. He took a step forward, his hand reaching out to touch Ashton's shoulder. It pained him tht he had to end Ashton away too. But at the moment, that seemed to be the best option. "Ashton, please don't say things like that," Theo said, his voice soft and gentle. "You know I'd do anything to protect you. I'm just trying to do what's best for you, even if it means making a difficult decision. I'm also hurt by all this, little dragon!" Theo said softly. Dark whimpered in Theo's head and decided not to say anything. He felt heartbroken that he had to send his mate away. He felt so helpless that there wasn't anything he could do. Ashton didn't respond, but Theo could sense a slight relaxation in his stance. He took another step forward, his hand still reaching out to touch both of his shoulders. "Ashton, I know you're upset, and I don't blame you. But please, don't push me away. I need
It's been three days now and Theo still haven't been able to talk to Ashton about letting him leave with Elijah. The very first night he tried, he eventually let it slide and couldn't tell him.But today, he must talk to Ashton about it. He can't put it off all the time. Time is of essence and Elijah really wanted to leave the pack before he's find out. Theo stood outside the bedroom door, his heart racing with anticipation. He had been putting off this conversation for far too long, but he knew it was inevitable. He took a deep breath, steeling himself for what was to come. As he entered the room, Ashton looked up from his book, a questioning expression on his face. "Hey Alpha, what's up?" he asked, setting his book aside. Theo hesitated, unsure of how to begin. He had been wanting to tell Ashton the truth about Elijah being his biological father for weeks now, but every time he tried, he chickened out. He was afraid of how Ashton would react, afraid that he wouldn't be ready for
Few days later, Theo had been thinking about the mystery surrounding Elijah and he couldn't help but want to know everything. Alpha Theo called Elijah to his office to have a conversation with him. It was high time he asked all the questions he had withheld. Just thinking about it without asking won't provide him with any answers. He might as well ask and be free. Elijah already knew why Theo called him. He knew this day would come soon or later and he would have to face the Alpha's questions. "You called for me, Alpha." Elijah sad as he took a seat opposite Theo."Well... I guess you already know why I called you here. I need answers... And the truth. Why did you come to my pack, Elijah?" Theo asked straightforwardly. He didn't blink nor looked away from Elijah. He wanted to read his facial expression to gage if he would lie to him or not.Elijah heaved a sigh before speaking..."Well... the truth is... I came to this pack specifically for Ashton. And I would like to take him aw
