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
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
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
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
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
The night had been a sleepless one for Ashton. He had cried himself to sleep, his heart heavy with the weight of Alpha Theo's silence. He had never felt so alone, so unwanted. He had thought that their bond was unbreakable, that nothing could ever come between them. But now, he wasn't so sure.As he lay in bed, he couldn't shake the feeling that he had lost Alpha Theo forever. He had told him that he didn't want to go with Elijah anymore, and Alpha Theo had taken it as a personal rejection. Ashton had tried to explain himself, to tell Alpha Theo that he just couldn't handle the thought of being away from him for so long. But Alpha Theo hadn't listened.The next morning, Ashton dragged himself to the dining table, his eyes red and puffy from lack of sleep. He took his seat, trying to avoid eye contact with Alpha Theo, who was already seated at the head of the table.The rest of the pack began to file in, taking their seats and chatting quietly among themselves. Michael, Mason, Kelvin,
Mason carried Ricky to his bedroom, his arms cradling Ricky's slender form with so much care, as if he was handling a fragile treasure. He laid Ricky on his bed, his movements slow and deliberate and his eyes never leaving Ricky's face. The air was thick with tension, the silence between them palpable, as if the very fate of their relationship or what was about to happen hung in the air.Ricky knew that his mate might still be angry, might still be blaming himself for what had happened to him during those three long years of torture at the Wizard's Coven. He could see the guilt etched on Mason's face, the regret burning in his eyes like a slow-burning fire. Ricky's heart went out to his mate, his love for Mason swelling up like a tide, threatening to overwhelm him. He never thought he would actually grow to love Mason like this even though the were apart for 3 years. Maybe the mate bond was also a factor to his intense feelings for him.He gently cupped Mason's face, his fingers t
"What secret?" Ashton asked after wiping his face with the back of his hands. Ricky smiled mischievously, a sly grin spreading across his face.He went on to tell them that actually, Starlight, the golden sword, had completely awakened, and he could summoned it out of his body with ease, a feat that was previously thought to be impossible.It felt like the werewolves can shift into their wolf form or the dragons, which can also shift into their dragon forms, a transformation that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying. The only difference between Ricky and them was that he couldn't shift into the golden sword; however, he could summoned it out of his body, as a being of its own. The group gasped in shock and amazement, their eyes wide with wonder and their faces frozen in a mask of incredulity, as if they had just heard something that defied explanation.Ricky had actually accomplished the impossible, a feat that would go down in history, a feat that would be remembered for generat
Ricky slowly put back on his clothes when he realized how syress everyone was just looking at his wound.He smiled sadly at everyone, his eyes filled with a deep pain, a pain that seemed to pierce through his very soul, leaving him feeling vulnerable. He took Mason's hand into his, his touch gentle and reassuring, a silent message that he was okay, that he was still standing despite the horrors he had endured, despite the torture and despite the pain.As he began to speak, his voice was low and husky, his words were full with emotion and with pain. "I've been tortured by the wizards for years," he said, his voice cracking with pain, with anguish, with despair. "They've tried to remove the golden sword from my body countless times, but it's a part of me now, a part of my very being, my very essence. They couldn't despite all their attempts." Ricky's eyes clouded over, his gaze drifting into the past of pain and into the depths of his own personal hell."The worst thing was that wound
As the group entered Theo's office, they all took their seats, their eyes fixed intently on Ricky. Their faces were filled with anticipation and curiosity. Just what could possibly make Ricky risk coming to them? The air was thick with anticipation, and the silence was palpable, like a heavy blanket that had been draped over the room. They stared at Ricky, indicating that they were ready to hear what he had to say, their minds racing with concerns already. Ricky took a deep breath, his expression grave and serious as his eyes filled with a sense of urgency and importance."I came to warn you of a great danger that could possibly threatens our world," he began, his voice low and urgent, like a warning bell."The wizards... and their powerful and ruthless leader which even I myself have never seen his face before, have formed an alliance with the mad king and the dragons. Together, they plan to wage a war of conquest and destruction, hoping to dominate and enslave all the other speci
In the Dragon Kingdom, King Matthias was visited by four wizards who arrived unexpectedly, their presence shrouded in an aura of mystery and evil. Though their arrival was unexpected, King Matthias was interested in what or their reasons of visiting his Kingdom. Thus, he welcomed them and asked of their arrival. The four wizards informed him about the events that had transpired in the Dark Shadow Moon Pack, revealing the shocking truth about Theo's coma and his miraculous awakening.The wizards shared their knowledge about the impending threat of the werewolves, a powerful and ruthless species that sought to destroy the Dragon Kingdom and kill Mathias. They proposed an alliance with King Matthias, offering to share their knowledge and magic to aid him in the impending war against the werewolves, a war that would determine the fate of the kingdom and all species. King Matthias, though initially skeptical and unsure of what to make of the wizards' proposal, was tempted by the promi
The group burst into Theo's bedroom without even knocking, their faces etched with worry and concern. Their hearts were filled with anticipation. But as they entered the room, they were met with a sight that filled their hearts with joy and relief, a sight that was like a balm to their souls, a sight that made all their worries and fears melt away. Theo and Ashton were finally awake, and they were lying in each other's arms, looking healthier and happier than they had in years, their faces radiant with joy and their eyes shining with love.Mason rushed to Theo's side and hugged him tightly, tears of joy streaming down his face and his voice shaking with emotion. His heart was overflowing with love and gratitude. "I missed you so much, Alpha," he sobbed, his words tumbling out in a rush and his voice cracking with feeling. "I was so scared of losing you, of never seeing you again, of never hearing your voice, of never feeling your touch... Alpha!!!!!!!"Theo smiled weakly and hugged
As they lay there, Theo turned his attention to Ashton, his eyes locked on his mate's face, drinking in the sight of his chiseled features, his piercing eyes, and his beautiful smile. Ashton's eyes sparkled with interest, and he nodded eagerly as Theo began to explain the process of communicating with Mason telepathically. "Yes baby, I can teach you how to link Mason if you want." Theo said, his voice low and soothing. Ashton's eyes shone with excitement, and he nodded again, his face set in pure happiness, as Theo continued to explain the process. "But first, you need to understand something," Theo said, his voice serious as he looked at his eager mate... "Even though the whole pack loves and respects you as their Luna, you still needs to complete your luna ceremony before you can have your own link to everyone in the pack." Ashton nodded, his brow furrowed in concentration, as he tried to understand the complexities of the process. "That means you can only link or talk to so
The next day, Ashton woke up with a radiant smile on his face, feeling his alpha's arms wrapped around him tightly, holding him close, and keeping him safe. His nose was pressed against Theo's scent gland, and the smell was intoxicating, making him feel lightheaded and dizzy with desire, as if he was floating on a cloud of pure bliss. Ashton thought inwardly, "Let me pretend to sleep more, so that I can feel my alpha more, so that I can savor this moment, this feeling of being loved and cherished." He wanted to hold onto this feeling forever, to bask in the warmth of Theo's love, to feel the security of his alpha's arms around him. But before he could even pretend to sleep, Theo replied to Ashton's words telepathically, his voice echoing in Ashton's mind, "You don't need to pretend, little mate. You can just sleep as much as you want, and I'll be here, holding you, loving you, and keeping you safe." Theo's words were like a warm hug, enveloping Ashton in a sense of comfort and secu
"Oh, do tell me how we can wake my wolf up quickly," Theo said to Ashton, his eyes sparkling with curiosity, as he watched Ashton's face turn an even deeper shade of pink, a color that seemed to match the flush of excitement that was rising up his own neck.Ashton blushed, his cheeks burning with embarrassment, but he looked up at Theo with a determined expression, his eyes shining with a fierce resolve that seemed to dare Theo to doubt him. "We... um... we... I think we have to mark each other," he said shyly, his voice barely above a whisper."That will strengthen our bond," Ashton continued, his words tumbling out in a rush, as if he was afraid of being interrupted, or of losing his nerve. "And I can channel some of my dragon's energy into you, which in return will help your wolf gain some strength to wake up quickly."Ashton's eyes dropped, his lashes casting a shadow on his cheeks, as he continued to explain, his voice filled with a quiet conviction that seemed to grow stronger w
