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
"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
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 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
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
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
"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
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
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
