**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
Ashton felt betrayed by Michael, Elijah, and the rest, his heart aching with a deep sense of pain and betrayal that seemed to pierce through his very soul like a sharp knife. The fact that they knew his dragon pearl could cure his mate, yet they hid it from him, made Ashton's heart heavy with hurt and resentment toward the rest, who felt wronged and ashamed at the same time.He looked at them, his eyes blazing with anger and hurt, his gaze piercing and accusatory, as if daring them to deny the truth. He was about to confront them, to demand answers and explanations, when they all suddenly heard Ricky's voice inside their heads, a voice that seemed to echo through their minds like a ghostly whisper."I'm unable to do anything on my own now," Ricky's voice echoed in their minds, "but very soon, I promise to return to you all - my family, my friends, and Mason, my mate." The words sent a shiver down Mason's spine, and he felt his heart skip a beat, as if time itself had stopped in its
"Ricky..." Mason whispered and tried to go near him but an invisible force stopped him from moving. Ricky made eye contact with Ashton and Mason, and for a moment, they saw a glimmer of longing in his eyes, a spark of the old Ricky that they once knew and loved, a spark that seemed to flicker with a deep sense of nostalgia and reminiscence.But it vanished in an instant, replaced by a cold, calculating gaze that sent shivers down their spines, a gaze that seemed to bore into their very souls.Mason tried again to go near him, but the same invisible force stopped him in his tracks, as if an unseen barrier had been erected around Ricky, a barrier that seemed impenetrable and unyielding. It was as if they were looking at the Ricky that they knew, but at the same time, it felt like they didn't know him anymore, like he was a stranger, a stranger with a familiar face, but with eyes that seemed to hold immense power and evil.Ricky laughed maniacally as he addressed everyone, his voice dr
The group went out to see what was going on with their minds and body ready for battle. Just as they reached outside, Ashton and Mason's eyes widened in shock as they stared at the figure in the air, their jaws dropping in pure shock and incredulity. They couldn't believe what or who the were seeing. Were they even eeing correctlyIt - it was him... It was Ricky, the young boy they had known and loved for so long, now standing before them as a powerful and intimidating figure.They were finally seeing him after three years, and a mix of emotions swirled inside them - happiness, shock, confusion, and concern. They had thought about Ricky so many times during his absence, wondering what had happened to him and whether they would ever see him again. Was he even alive? And now, here he was, standing before them like a ghost from the past, his presence filling their hearts with a deep sense of joy and wonder.But wait, something was off about Ricky. Yes, he was still the same Ricky the
Back on earth and in Dark Shadow Park, everyone was going through their day as usual, oblivious to the sudden arrival of a hurricane that appeared in front of the park house, its strong winds and heavy rains causing the trees to sway violently and the flowers to bend under its force. All eyes turned to what was going on, and a collective gasp echoed through the air when suddenly a beautiful lady emerged from the hurricane with a furious face, her eyes blazing with anger and her hair disheveled from the wind.The hurricane then slowed and swept away, leaving everyone staring at the beautiful lady in awe, their faces filled with a mixture of shock, surprise, and admiration. Instantly, everyone's faces lit up with joy, and both the werewolves and the dragons who knew her or had seen her before rushed to her side, eager to welcome her back and hear her story.Ara was flabbergasted and angry at how her master had teleported her back to earth. She could have come down to earth on her own
"What can we do to save his life?" Ara asked, her voice filled with a deep sense of urgency and concern and her eyes wide with worry and anxiety. "Must Ashton really give up his dragon's pearl in order to save his mate?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper."There's no need for that, my dear," the moon goddess replied, her voice calm and soothing. "The revelation I revealed to my messenger, the oracle, wasn't entirely to let it happen," she explained, a serene smile spreading across her face, like a sunrise."A test?" Ara repeated, her voice filled with confusion and perplexity. Her eyes narrowed in an effort to understand the complexity of what was happening. "What do you mean, goddess?" she asked respectfully. "If the little alpha was indeed supposed to die, do you think he would have still been alive until now, my child?" the moon goddess asked, "Think about it, little Ara," she continued, her voice filled with a deep sense of encouragement and support. "If fate had truly
He immediately sank back into his knees and started pleading on her behalf, his words tumbling out like a river in full flood. "Please forgive her, please forgive her," he begged, his voice like a supplicant's prayer, each word a cry from the heart. "She's still young, she didn't know what she meant," he continued, his words dripping with apology. "Please punish me instead... I didn't teach her well. Please show mercy!" Her master kept begging and bowing. Suddenly, another voice was heard, a voice that was deep and masculine, belonging to a man of supreme power."Is that so?" The voice said."The dragon lord," Ariana whispered, her eyes wide with fear. Her body started to tremble like a leaf in an autumn breeze.The dragon lord's voice was like thunder, shaking the very foundations of the heaven realm itself. "Am I that horrible to you, little girl?" the dragon lord asked, his voice like a gentle giant.Ara looked terrified upon hearing the voice of the dragon lord, her heart racing
"What? Huh? What old man?" Ara's voice was laced with frustration, anger and exasperation. To think her master would treat her this way was beyond her imagination. "First of all, you sent me to the earth to protect the dragons core inside Ashton's body." she continued, her tone accusatory and her eyes blazing with indignation. "It was all your doing. I bet Michael becoming my mate was also your doing," she added, her voice heavy with sarcasm. She made sure her words were laced with a hint of bitterness."I don't know what you told the moon goddess to grant you that wish," Ara said, her voice rising in anger."And yet you are keeping me here in prison after giving me a mate," she spat, her tone venomous and her eyes flashing with fury. "How is this fair, master?" she demanded."How am I supposed to protect the dragon's core inside Ashton and also how am I able to accept Michael as my mate?" she asked, her voice laced with frustration."Or do you want me to reject him?" Ara finally ask
Ara's fists pounded against the seal placed on the door of her room by her master, making her anger and frustration boiling with ferocity. She couldn't believe her master would lock her up the moment she ascended to the heaven realm, to seek help for Theo's affliction. An affliction that seemed both cruel and heartless. But what was wrong with her master? Didn't he know that Theo's life was in danger, and so was Ashton's? What if they lose the dragon's core, the one thing that kept the forces of darkness at bay?Ara's mind was a whirlwind of questions and doubts.Her head ached with the implications of her master's actions, making her heart heavy with worry and concern. She felt trapped and helpless, locked away from the world she was trying to save, a world that seemed to be falling apart at anytime. Her master's decision was really annoying. He betrayed the trust she had placed in him, and he just shattered that trust into a million pieces. What the hell is his problem?As she p
As time goes on, Michael, Elijah, and the rest of the pack became increasingly worried about Ashton, their concerns growing with each passing day, and their anxiety escalating.Yes, Ashton had grown stronger and more mature, his leadership skills honed to perfection, his strategic thinking and battle tactics unparalleled. But he was slowly detaching from everyone around him, his emotional walls rising higher and higher, his heart becoming increasingly cold.The only time you could see him smiling was when he was talking to Theo, who lay motionless in his bed, trapped in a coma that seemed to have no end, a fate that seemed cruel and unjust. Everyone became worried and frustrated, their concerns growing with each passing day.The most devastating one among them was Michael, who felt like he was losing his best friend, his brother, his son, his confidant, the person he had shared countless memories with... Theo. And also... her mate.Three years ago, after he had that particular conver
