**18 YEARS LATER** **PRESENT AT DARK SHADOW MOON PACK** “Knock, knock!” Alpha Theoheard, someone knocking on his office door and knew it was his Beta, Mason. “Come in!” he answered with a deep, masculine voice, not taking his eyes off the file on his desk. “Hey, what’s up?” Mason greeted, making himself comfortable in one of the chairs. Mason was among the select few whom Alpha Theo had learned to trust over the years, allowing them to be closer to himself. Nevertheless, Theo was not open to everyone. Many had to fight hard to earn even a nod of approval from him. He was no longer the naive boy who was quick to smile and share jokes. For the last eighteen years, Alpha Theo had not smiled. Not even once. His expression was typically one of a scowl or a cunning smirk reserved for his enemies. Following their rescue by the dragon queen, Theo resided in a sanctuary for homeless werewolves established by her until he turned eighteen. Upon completing his first shift, Theo returne
ASHTON REFUSED TO SUBMIT TO ANY OF THEM. Just like at this very moment… Alpha Nicholas descended into the dungeons and headed directly to Ashton's cell, where he was with a small boy named Rickey. Rickey, who is currently 15 years old, was captured alongside his parents and Ashton when he was just twelve. Unfortunately, his parents lost their lives a few months prior. Ashton made it his mission to protect Rickey at all costs, seeing him as a younger brother. Whenever the Alphas or their warriors intended to exert their will over Rickey, Ashton willingly stepped in to bear their assaults in Rickey's stead. “Come here, you filthy little dragon!” Alpha Nicholas barked, prompting the frightened boy to drag his battered and weak body towards Ashton, seeking refuge behind him. Ashton remained seated, unbothered by the Alpha's presence, while he held Rickey close to him. One notable aspect that Alpha Nicholas and the others observed about Ashton was that he was impervious to their Al
Ashton and Rickey never slept the whole night despite their bodies protest. Who would even want to sleep when he was sending it to the Demon Alpha? The fear of what was about to befall them the next day at the Demon Alpha's Pack terrified them to their core. Is there even hope for survival? Will a miracle happen? But Ashton and the rest of the dragon prisoners knew it was impossible. There's no miracle people whatsoever for them. Entering the Demon Alpha's Pack meant death or no return or survival. Your DOOM is solidified the moment you enter that pack as a dragon. Ashton could hear the distraught cries of the nearby dragons. They fear that what is coming to them the next day was making them restless. "Brother Ash, are we really going to die tomorrow? Are they really sending us to the Demon Alpha's pack? Is there no way for us to run away?" Rickey asked with his hoarse little voice. The little boy was on the verge of breaking down. Fear was vivid in his eyes and voi
Alpha Nicholas instructed his men to place them in the back of the truck before they hurried away. "Honestly, I’m relieved we didn’t have to walk all the way because im not sure if Rickey would be able to walk." Ashton thought to himself and heaved a sigh of relief. As they drove, his let his eyes to only fix on the trees whizzing by, the birds soaring over his head, and the expansive blue sky. Everything appeared so vibrant and lush, giving him the definition of life. What a joy it was to feel free. Many of the captives drifted off to sleep during the ride to their ultimate fate. But for Ashton, he remained awake, gently stroking Rickey's soft hair in an attempt to coax him to sleep. He desperately wanted to prevent Rickey from beginning to cry of he wakes up. The little boy an effects on him that Ashton didn't understand. He felt some connection with him the first time they met. That with his innocent appearance made Ashton instantly became fond of him. ********** Afte
Ashton found it impossible to keep looking at the Demon Alpha, so he turned his head away. Was he crazy to keep looking at the person who was about to kill him and his people? Nevertheless, he couldn’t grasp the reason behind his emotions. An overwhelming desire to be close to the Demon Alpha took him by surprise. Even looking away from him tugged at his heart and he fought with every fiber in him not to turn and look back a him again. What is happening? Why was he feeling that way?! He despised the cruel Alpha with every fiber of his being. If it were up to him, Ashton would definitely have no hesitation in ending the Alpha’s life right there. Yet, the mere thought of the Alpha dying felt as devastating as if he were losing his own life. Ashton felt his chest squeezing at the thought of the Demon Alpha dying. Just what the hell was going on with him? Confused by his feelings, Ashton shifted his focus to Rickey, who looked as though he would rather perish than be incinerated b
Dark made several attempts to leap at the wall, but in his heart, he understood it was pointless. With a heavy sigh, Theo retook his seat and tried to control his emotions and stay composed. He was also fed up with his wolf. Ever since he shifted for th first time, there hasn't been a single day he and his wolf didn't fight. If they don't fight over finding their mate, there will fight over how Theo handle things. Dark had always disagree with him for his killing spree. But Theo never bothered himself about what his wolf think or prefer. After returning to his seat comfortably, it was at that moment Theo recognized that Dark's behavior had drawn the gaze of everyone present, including that dragon whose scent was driving him to insanity. Yet, once again, the little troublemaker averted his gaze, showing no desire to meet Theo's eyes. What the hell is going on! What's his problem? Why does he keep averting his gaze from him? Alpha Theo was on the verge of exploding with rage. It
"Repeat what you just said," Alpha Theo glared at Ashton, his voice laced with fury. What the hell! He's an Alpha who's feared by many species. And yet. This little dragon dared to talk to him in that tone? H3s indeed courting death! An overwhelming alpha aura radiated from him like a tidal wave, yet he held nothing back. Theo knew how his aura affect many people, even some Alphas couldn't resist his aura. But at that moment, he felt there's no need to hold back, because he wanted teach that boy a lesson he would never forget. He wouldn't dream of talking to him like that again. His gaze fixated on Ashton, his eyes intent on instilling fear in the younger boy before him. Yet, speaking to Ashton felt akin to addressing something unyielding, as if the boy was an immovable object; every other alpha and werewolf present sensed his challenge and were eager to react. Just looking at the boy standing in front of their Alpha without any fear baffled them all. Where did his confidence com
But do you truly see yourselves as justified? Look at your actions. Aren't they identical to what the Mad King did to you? What sets you apart from him?" Ashton questioned furiously. Everyone was quiet and kept looking at him without knowing what the course of action they should take. Alpha Theo opened his mouth to speak but Aston interjected passionately, "At least the Mad King had the audacity to act on his desires and obliterate everything he aimed to destroy. Yet you, in the guise of revenge, choose to imprison, torture, and dehumanize us, reducing our lives to something worse than slavery. You claim your kin, who fell at the Mad King's hands, were innocent. What about us? What wrongs have we committed? Have we offended you? Did we?" Ashton's voice rose in anguish, his eyes filling with tears. The pain in his words pierced Theo's heart, reminding him of that fateful day when his parents and pack were turned to ash. He recalled the same feelings of sorrow and hopelessness on
F3w minutes ago, Ricky stayed with Ashton fr a while aftet the oracle left. The two didn't particularly discuss about anything. They just stayed in each other's arms in silent until Ricky's stomach growled. "Why don't you go get something to eat? Don't worry about me, I will be alright. Besides, I need some time alone." Ashton said to his friend. "Are you sure you will b okay alone, brother Ash?" Rickey questioned."I'm sure I will be just fine. Don worry about me. Go get something to eat now." Ashton urged and offered him a small smile. Ricky agreed and bid Ashton goodnight, the soft glow of the hallway lights casting a warm ambiance t the room as left.But instead of heading to his own room, his feet carried him to Mason's door, as if drawn by an unseen force. He knocked softly, but there was no answer. Assuming Mason was out for a walk or running some errands, Ricky turned the handle and slipped inside."Whe am I here instead of the kitchen?" Rickey questioned him as he slowly
As soon as Ashton detected the sound of the bathroom door shutting, he blinked back his tears and placed a hand over his mouth to muffle his cries. In truth, he was unsure why he was weeping—whether it was due to the alpha's anguish or his own. He should be hurt for his own pain... He should hurt for his mother's death... He should be hurt by all the dead dragons. However, Ashton could clearly sense that those weren't the reason why he was crying. Then... he was definitely crying for hi alpha. When he sensed the doorknob turning, he quickly shut his eyes and feigned sleep. He had no intention of making eye contact with the alpha or engage in conversation. He wasn’t ready. His feelings were a chaotic jumble, and he felt lost as to whom or where he could express himself. Yet, he was acutely aware that sharing with the alpha could result in two possible scenarios. Firstly, he might inadvertently say something that would hurt the alpha, and the mere thought of causing him pain
Theo was at a loss for words or actions after absorbing all the information he just received. The harm had already been done, and he was left wondering how he could possibly make amends. Since the death of his parents, he had never experienced such inner turmoil. He usually had a clear sense of how to act or speak. Moreover, he was not someone who engaged in much conversation. Now, however, he found himself overwhelmed with thoughts, more than he could count. All of this, for what? For his mate, Ashton. But now... "Stop acting as if it's all your fault. While I will admit that I don't agree with many of your methods, I also know that hurting our mate was never your intention. His words back then certainly pushed you to the edge. What's crucial now is figuring out how to regain our mate’s trust," Dark reassured Theo in his mind. Theo simply gave him a nod, as he struggled to find the right words. For the first time since connecting with his wolf, they mutually recognized their relia
"Nana, what brings you here?" Michael couldn't restrain himself from inquiring of the oracle. "Nana, I thought we left you with th Luna, so..." he pressed on. “What do you mean by asking me that, you fool? I came here to have a discussion with little alpha of course!” the oracle responded with a huff before making her way toward Theo, leaving Michael momentarily stunned. On the other side, Theo remained indifferent to who stood before him or what they might say to affect his feelings. He felt undeserving of any form happiness; every time he attempted to find joy, it seemed to slip from his grasp. If not, how would his mate hate him now. He knew he had committed many atrocious deeds and spilled many blood of the dragons. However, was he to be blamed? The dragons did the same to his people too, right? “How are you feeling, my child?” the old oracle inquired of Theo when she stood besides him. Theo met her gaze but struggled to produce a response. Was she genuinely interested in ho
Theo rushed out, overwhelmed by his emotions and struggling to maintain control. His Wolf was equally agitated. How could things have turned out this way? This wasn't their desired outcome. After enduring torment for so long, just when they finally glimpsed a spark of hope, everything seemed to collapse. How could he possibly regain his composure? Transforming into his Wolf, he dashed into the wilderness without a second thought despite being dark outside. After all, he's a alpha. He cared little for where he was heading; he simply needed to escape the pain and turmoil inside him. All he sought was solitude, far away from anyone or anything that could ease his emotional turmoil. To his surprise, he found himself back at the same spot where he had recently been with Ashton. He couldn't help but sit in the very place where he had shared moments with his mate, memories of their recent conversation flooding his mind. Ashton had smiled during their talk, and the kiss they shared an
Ashton and Rickey gazed at the oracle with tear-filled eyes, questioning why she would wish to speak with Ashton, fully aware of the anguish her alpha had inflicted upon him. His mother death was on the alpha even though he didn't kill her with his hand. Could she possibly be asking for Ashton's forgiveness? That would be an unfavorable scenario, considering how early she was in her understanding. How could someone like her take such a sides? "Don't worry, my dear," the oracle reassured. "I just wish to have a friendly chat with you. I understand your pain, and your feelings are entirely valid. Yet, it's important for you to grasp certain things: whatever happens is part of the divine plan of the moon goddess; we cannot control it, and acceptance is crucial. Your bond with our little alpha is also aligned with the will of the gods, and we must adhere to their wish for us, my child. At this moment, you might perceive our little alpha as the most horrible of beings. However, what
Alpha Theo sensed mini explosion within him, restlessness coursing through his veins as his heart raced uncontrollably. Dark experienced a similar turmoil while observing their mate recoiling from them in fear and disgust. It pained them to witness the scene unfold; despite Theo’s cold demeanor, everyone had noticed his growing affection for Ashton over the past few days. He was beginning to understand the essence of living for someone you, yet, in an instant, everything seemed to crumbling before him. Coming to the realization that he was the source of everything made him more angry at himself. He pondered how he could mend things and restore harmony between him and Ashton. Michael and the oracle shared a sense of bewilderment at the recent developments. They had anticipated that if Ashton regained his memories, the situation might escalate, but they never envisioned it would manifest in such an alarming manner. The frightened expression and trembling body of Ashton a

Ashton gazed at the oracle in bewilderment, puzzled by the barrage of questions she was directing at him. What did any of this have to do with the feeling of levitation in his legs? Despite his confusion, he let out a defeated sigh and responded softly, "I can't recall anything. I have no idea how I ended up here or what led me to this place." He was also bewildered by his own lack of memory. How had he ended up in the Demon Alpha's pack in the beginning? And how did he even discern that the Alpha was a demon? Ah, that’s right! A nightmare featuring two Demon Alphas had crossed his mind, but that was the extent of his recollection. It felt as though a segment of his memory had been completely erased. The oracle shifted her focus from Theo and Michael, settling at Ashton's feet on the bed, and regarded him gently before inquiring once more... "Well... it seems a few people here have referred to you as Luna. Do you understand why they called you that? And what about him...?" sh
