Elijah quickly made his way out of the office, his feet pounding the ground with a sense of urgency. His heart raced with fear, and his mind filled with thoughts of his son, of Ashton's determination, of his willingness to sacrifice his own life to save Theo's. How could Ashton be this impulsive?He had to stop him, he had to prevent him from making a terrible mistake, a mistake that would cost him his life, a mistake that would leave Elijah without a son. How would he explain this to his mate after his death?As he ran down the hallway, Elijah's thoughts turned to Ashton's motivations and kind of desperation that had driven him to this point.He wasn't being reckless, Elijah realized, he was just tired of waiting for his alpha to wake up, tired of waiting for the so-called cure to be found, which was nowhere to be found anytime soon. Ashton just wanted his alpha alive, and he didn't care whether it cost his life or not. He was willing to risk everything, to sacrifice everything, to
Michael and Ara made their way to Theo's room as fast as they could. They've finally found the cure and couldn't wait to wake Theo up. When they finally reached the room, they saw Mason and Sasha trying their best to open the door, their faces set in determination ad their eyes were fixated on the door handle.Apparently, Elijah had locked the door when he enetered the room. He was willing to remove his dragon pearl for Ashton immediately the latter transfer his dragon pearl to Theo.Kevin also joined in at the door, his jaw clenched in effort as his muscles straining as he tried to force the door open. They stood outside the door, unsure of what to do next, their minds racing with possibilities, their hearts pounding with fear.Deciding that they had to act fast, they decided to break the door, their combined strength finally forcing it open, the sound of splintering wood echoing through the hallway. When they entered the room, they were met with a sight that made their blood run
Ashton looked exhausted but her mother's voice kept pushing him forward. And Elijah's dragon flames also helped him out. As it turned out, the voice that Ashton was hearing wasn't his mother's voice, but rather Ara's, whose gentle tone and soothing words were guiding him through the treacherous process of transferring the dragon pearl. Ara had found the cure in the book, and the cure stated how to cure Theo, whose life hung in the balance, precariously poised between life and death. She didn't know where that paper came from, but she realized that it might be from the Dragon Queen, whose wisdom and power were legendary. The Dragon Queen narrated how she saw the future of her son's mate, which was Theo, whose fate was inextricably linked to that of Ashton, his mate and lover. She knew that something like this would happen to Theo in the future, and her son might likely give up his dragon peael in order to save his mate, a sacrifice that would have far-reaching consequences.
Ashton woke up in the middle of the night, his body suddenly jolting awake from a deep sleep, his mind foggy and disoriented.He reached out to the other side of the bed to feel his alpha's presence, a habit he had developed over the years, a comforting ritual that brought him peace and reassurance.However, his hand met an empty space.He frowned, his brow furrowing in concern, and tried reaching out again, his hand hesitantly probing the darkness, searching for the familiar warmth and comfort of his alpha's body.But he still met an empty space. The empty space filled him with a growing sense of unease and anxiety. Abruptly, he opened his eyes, his eyelids snapping open with a sudden jolt, and shot out of the bed. He propelled his body upward by a surge of adrenaline and fear. He was shocked to see that his alpha was no longer on the bed... The bed that had been their sanctuary, their haven, for the past three years, a bed that had witnessed their deepest joys and their darkest fe
FEW MINUTES AGOTheo had been in a very long sleep, trapped in a coma that seemed to stretch on forever, a never-ending expanse of darkness and silence.Most of the time, he heard everyone talking about him, their voices a constant presence in his mind, a reminder that he was not alone, that there were people who cared about him, who wanted him to wake up.He heard Ashton's pleas and cries, his mate's desperate attempts to reach him, to bring him back from the brink of death, to pull him back into the world of the living.Theo wanted to wake up, obviously, to rise up from the depths of his coma and rejoin the world of the living. He wanted to tell his mate and everyone that he could hear them, that he was still there, trapped inside his unresponsive body, a prisoner of his own flesh and blood. He wanted to tell them that he was still aware, still conscious and still alive.However, he couldn't, no matter how hard he tried. His eyes refused to open, his mouth refused to speak, and hi
After realizing that he could move his muscles, Theo got out of bed to use the bathroom, a pressing urgency that demanded his attention, a call to action that he couldn't ignore. He walked slowly, his legs trembling beneath him, his feet heavy with the weight of his own uncertainty, but he was determined to take care of his needs, to assert his independence, to prove to himself that he was still alive.After a few minutes of relieving himself, he came out of the bathroom, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. It was a wave of calm that soothed his frazzled nerves. As he walked back into the bedroom, he saw Ashton walking towards the door in a panic, intending to go out, aside looking for something or someone. "Hello, little dragon," Theo said, his voice low and husky, filled with emotion, a deep and abiding love that he couldn't express, a feeling that threatened to overwhelm him.Ashton heard his alpha's voice behind him, and his body trembled, his eyes instantly filling with t
Their kiss held all the emotions they'd been holding in for the past three damn years, a multitude of feelings that had been building up inside them like a dam waiting to burst.Ashton wrapped his legs around Theo's waist tightly, as the latter devoured his lips like a hungry beast, consuming him with a passion that was both fierce and tender.Then, Theo led them to the bed and gently laid Ashton on the bed, as they continued kissing each other without parting, their lips locked in a passionate embrace that seemed to go on forever.They broke the kiss after a while, when Ashton was out of breath, his lungs burning with a desperate need for oxygen. Theo looked into Ashton's eyes and saw that there were some changes in his eyes, a subtle shift in their color that was both fascinating and unsettling. They were golden now, a deep, burnished gold that seemed to glow with an inner light, like embers from a fire that had been burning for centuries.But before he could ask what was going on
Ashton lay on their bed silently, wrapped in Theo's arms, feeling the warmth of his body and the comfort of his presence, a sense of peace and tranquility that seemed to envelop them both, like a soft blanket .However, despite the serenity of the moment, Ashton could sense that something was bothering Theo, that something was weighing heavily on his mind.Ashton could feel the tension in Theo's body, the subtle stiffness in his muscles, the faint furrowing of his brow, a sense of unease that seemed to radiate from within.It was a tension that seemed to permeate every cell of his being, like a slow-moving fog that refused to lift and Ashton could feel it.He knew that Theo was worried about the missing presence of his wolf, Dark. A sense of emptiness that seemed to echo through his mind, and his entire being. He could sense the concern in Theo's mind, the fear that something was terribly wrong, like a nagging voice that refused to be silenced."Is it when you woke up that you realiz
Anakin's footsteps echoed through his room as he paced back and forth, his mind consumed by the gruesome murders that had shaken the pack. The images of the victims lingered in his mind, haunting him. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong.As he paced, his thoughts swirled in confusion. Who could be behind such atrocities? And why were they targeting his friends and family? The uncertainty hung over the pack like a dark cloud, casting a pall of fear over everyone.Anakin's eyes wandered to the window, staring out into the night. The pack was usually a place of tranquility, but now it seemed like a breeding ground for fear and suspicion. He just hoped that someone would figure out what was happening soon.But as he stood there, a nagging thought crept into his mind. As much as he hated to admit, everything seemed to have started when he returned to the pack with Divine. Anakin's heart skipped a beat as he pushed the thought away. No, he couldn't possibly th
A few days had passed since Anakin brought Divine to the pack, and an eerie feeling had settled over the members. At first, it was just whispers and unease, but soon, the pack was plagued by a series of strange occurrences that no one could ignore. The once vibrant and lively atmosphere was now filled with the of tension and fear. Members who used to gather in the common areas now hesitated to venture out alone, and the usual laughter and chatter had been replaced by hushed conversations and nervous glances over shoulders. The pack's usual tranquility had vanished, and an unsettling sense of unease hung over everything. Theo, as the alpha, had been trying to reassure the members that everything would be okay, but even he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. He had been noticing strange noises at night, and some members had reported seeing shadowy figures lurking around the pack's border. The sense of unease was palpable, and it seemed to grow thicker with
Despite Anakin's reservations about sudden change in Divine, he still decided to take him to his pack.After all, he as still his mate and he loves him. On their way, Anakin tried to tell Divine about the werewolves and the dragon world, but Divine's reactions were unsettling. He didn't show any sign of shock or fear, just a smile and nods of agreement to everything he said. Anakin's skepticism grew with each passing moment. Something was definitely off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.The drive to the pack had been filled with Anakin's attempts to gauge Divine's reaction to the supernatural world he was about to enter. But Divine's responses were always measured, always cold, and always with a hint of mystery. Anakin's instincts were screaming at him to be cautious, to watch Divine's every move. But he pushed those thoughts aside, determined to give Divine a chance.As they arrived at the pack, Anakin felt a sense of pride and belonging. This was his home, his sanct
Amidst all thabwas going on, Divine approached Anakin one night and asked..."Hey Anak, uhm... so... if you are that worry about me, why don't you take me to your family's place? I'm sure I will be fine there. Truthfully, I know something is wrong with me but I don't what." Divine said and for a moment, he sounded so much like his old self. Anakin was hesitant at first, but Divine seemed insistent, and even with bitterly to convinced him.Anakin decided to take a chance and agreed to take Divine to the pack.He agreed to take Divine to his pack to meet his family, but little did Divine know that Anakin had an ulterior motive. Je was indeed happy. Anakin then suddenly said, "I want to tell you something, come out with me for a moment." Divine followed Anakin to a nearby bush, curiosity etched on his face.Anakin's decision to reveal his secret to Divine was not taken lightly. He had been thinking about it for a while, and he felt that Divine was someone he could trust as his mate, t
Few days later, Anakin was home alone when the doorbell rang. He immediately went to open it and to his shocked, Divine stood in front of him with unreadable expression. Anakin was shocked to process what he was seeing but when he came back to his senses, he immediately enguled Divine in a tight hug, his eyes almost brimming with tears.Only the moon goddess and dragon lord knew how happy and relieved he felt."Divine, where in the world have you been?" He asked, still hugging him and not wanting to let him go.Divine just flashed a smile at him and went back inside with him without saying a word.His actions made Anakin frowned in confusion. What's going on? Divine looked.... strange... in some way.**********Few days passed since Divine's return, and Anakin was still trying to wrap his head around the sudden change in his mate. He couldn't understand why Divine seemed so different, so distant. It wasn't like him, and Anakin couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.Ana
As Anakin drove back into the human world, his heart was racing with excitement. He couldn't wait to see his mate, Divine, and share all the had experiences he had in search of Ember over the past two weeks. The drive to their house seemed to take forever, but finally, he arrived at his destination.The anticipation had been building up inside him for what felt like an eternity. He envisioned the two of them sitting on the couch, laughing and reminiscing about their time of being away from each other. As he pulled up to the house, Anakin's excitement only grew. He grabbed his bags and rushed to the front door, bursting through it with a huge smile on his face. "Divine!" he called out, expecting his mate to be right there, waiting for him.But as he entered the house, he was met with an eerie silence. The rooms were empty, and there was no sign of Divine anywhere. Anakin's excitement began to fade, replaced by a growing sense of unease. Where was Divine? It was a weekend, and there
Two weeks had passed since Anakin's arrival at the parlck, and his determination to find his missing sister had only grown stronger. Every corner of the pack had been scoured, every nook and cranny explored, but there was no sign of her. It was as if she had vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a trail of unanswered questions. Every day, he would venture out into the forest with his two friends. They would search and search but would always return empty handed. Anakin's thoughts were consumed by his sister's disappearance. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly might be wrong with his sister's now, and such thought always made him mad. He had always been protective of her, and now he felt guilty for not being able to find her. He wondered if he was doing enough, if there was something he was missing. Would things had been different if he didn't leave the pack? Elijah, his grandfather, had mobilized the dragons to search for his missing girl. There was a
As Anakin sat there, frozen in indecision, he felt like he was being pulled in two different directions. His heart was telling him to go to his sister's aid, but his mind was warning him to prioritize his mate's safety. The conflict was tearing him apart, making it hard for him to think clearly. In the midst of this emotional turmoil, Anakin knew he needed to make a decision. He couldn't stay stuck in this state of indecision forever. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing thoughts and focus on the present moment. But the weight of his emotions was crushing him, making it hard for him to think clearly. He could just take Divine wth him. But he hasn't even come clean with him about his real identity as a werewolf. He feared how Divine would react to such revelation. He sat up and his eyes locked on Divine's. He could see the understanding and concern in his mate's gaze, and it filled him with a mix of emotions. He felt a pang of guilt for leaving Divine behind, but he kne
Three months had passed since Anakin had been living in the human world with Divine. Divine's life on the other hand transformed in ways he never thought possible. Theo, Ashton and the twins with the rest would visit them occasionally, and Divine cherished these moments, feeling grateful for the love and support he was receiving t heal from his past. Campus life had also taken a dramatic turn. No one dared to bully Divine anymore, knowing that he had the protection of Anakin, Brandon, and Dustin - the three Greek gods, who wouldn't hesitate to defend their friend. Divine felt freedom, walking through the halls with a newfound sense of confidence and carefree. But the most significant change in Divine's life was his relationship with Anakin. What had started as a beautiful friendship had blossomed into something more profound and romantic. Divine had never felt this way about anyone before, and he was grateful to have Anakin by his side. As for his brother, Divine didn't ques
