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
After Ashton moved away from the alpha, the latter unconsciously raised his hand, attempting to reach out to the boy, unaware of his own actions. It felt as if his hands had minds of their own. On the other hand, Ashton, noticing that the Demon Alpha had lifted his hand towards him, instinctively tried to bat it away. Unfortunately, his hand connected with the alpha's cheek, resulting in a sharp slap which was never intended to happened. In that instant, the atmosphere became thick with silence, only interrupted by loud gasps. Several people even attempted to hold their breaths, fearing that any loud noise would only worsen the situation. They couldn't believe their eyes. Did what they saw really happened? Or was their minds playing tricks on them? Mason and Michael abruptly rose from their seats, shocked, and hurried to stand beside Theo. They understood that the situation was bound to escalate from that point forward if they don't step and mediate. Alpha Theo's eyes darkened, hi
While others worked to soothe him, Theo was on the verge of letting go of his tension after a deep breath. He also didn't know the reason why he wanted to touch the boy subconsciously after the latter pulled away from him. Maybe it's because of the stupid mate bond! However, that sense of relief shattered when he witnessed a werewolf unsheathing its claws and tearing the heart from an elderly dragon, killing it instantly. "Fuck you, my ass! Just die already!" The werewolf growled, not able to hold back his thirst of killing the dragons. "NOOOOO!!!" Ashton, Rickey, and the other dragons rushed toward the lifeless form of their fallen kin. Before they fully processed the disturbing scene, several wolves had also unsheathed their claws, ripping the hearts out of numerous dragons at the same time. Cries of anguish echoed around them from the dragons. It was a scene of horror that Ashton and Rickey could hardly bear. They screamed in despair with every loss amongst their kind. "Wha
"THEO!!!" Michael and Mason shouted in disbelief. Was he out of his mind? What would possess him to run into the fire like that? Was he tired of living? To their astonishment, not only did the flames seem not to harm Theo, but they also extinguished as if drawn from Ashton's body. "What the hell!" The mate bond was indeed a fearsome advisory. It can quench everything including the intense fire. The crowd was both shocked and relieved. They glanced around, troubled by the sight of charred bodies surrounding them, a painful ache settling in their hearts. Ashton was oblivious to what had transpired with him or his form, as if some powerful force was manipulating him a while ago. When he perceived a cold touch against his heated skin, it was as though he was jolted back to reality. He felt both relieved and weak. Slowly, he lifted his fatigue gaze to find the Demon Alpha staring down at him with a look of complete disgust. "I... I...." Ashton made an attempt to speak, but before
"No! You can't kill them! I won't allow it!" Ashton boldly confronted the Alpha. He was unsure of where his sudden bravery originated, but he was determined not to let the werewolves slaughter them at will. Just who do they think they were? Theo’s eyes turned a deep red as he pointed to the scorched bodies scattered across the field. "Do you see them? Do you really see what you caused? Now tell me, why shouldn't I annihilate all of you?" Theo shouted furiously. His fists were clenched beside him, as if something or someone was holding him back from pouncing on the little dragon and kill him. Of course, it was indeed Dark who was holding him back. Dark had lived long enough to see many things. However, the last thing he would ever want to witness again is his nate to die in front of him. So, he did his best to hold Theo back. If anyone could pay much attention to Theo, the could see his eyes changing colors from now and then. He was fighting with Dark internally to continue having
Weeks Ago... Ashton finally woke up from his long sleep in the evening, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. He looked everywhere inside their bedroom, and was shocked to find that he was actually back in the pack house. He was so excited, making his heart raced with joy. It wasn't that he didn't like the coven; he had grown to love the dragons there, and they had been kind to him. But the pack felt like home, because that's where his mate, Alpha Theo, was.Ashton felt a surge of happiness wash over him as he hugged the pillow tightly, holding onto it for a while as he basked in the joy of being back home. He then quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to check if Theo was there. To his dismay, the Alpha wasn't there. Ashton's heart sank, and he quickly ran downstairs to check if Theo was around.However, instead of finding Theo, he met Sasha, who told him about the journey Theo and the rest had taken to search for Ricky. Ashton's eyes widened in shock and anger; he couldn
As the battle raged on, Theo took a severe blow, his body crashing to the ground. The group's hearts sank as they saw their leader fall, their eyes filled with worry and fear. Elijah rushed to his side, his eyes scanning Theo's body for any signs of injury. "Theo, are you okay? Alpha no!" he cried, his voice shaking with emotion.The group had no other option but to retreat, their hearts heavy with worry and fear. They had to return back to the pack with Theo, who was badly injured during the battle. His breath was so shallow that if you didn't put your ears or your hand to his nose, you wouldn't see or hear him breathing. The group became devastated, their hearts filled with grief and worry.They didn't know how to react, their minds reeling from the shock of Theo's injury. They fought hard against the wizards, but they were outnumbered. So they had to return without any chance of saving Ricky. Ara had to teleport them back. Their most regret was even with all their careful pla
Theo and the the team decided to leave as soon as possible, knowing that every minute counted, and that Ricky's safety hung in the air. Theo went back to his room to whisper his goodbye to the sleeping Ashton, his heart heavy with a sense of foreboding and worry. He didn't want Ashton to wake up and follow them to search for Ricky, fearing for his safety and well-being.Theo couldn't risk it, his love for Ashton was too strong to allow him to put him in harm's way. His heart ached at the very thought of such scenario. "Goodbye little dragon. I will be back soon." He whispered and kissed his forehead before leaving. *******Theo and the rest of the group left the pack, after leaving Sasha and Kelvin to manage the pack in their absence.As they departed, the group's determination were palpable.They were on a mission to save Ricky, and nothing was going to stop them, their minds fixed on their goal. All their plans were successfully executed, and indeed, Dark was able to follow Ric
Theo gently lay Ashton on their bed, his hands cradling Ashton's head as he settled him into the pillow. He caressed Ashton's handsome face, his fingers tracing the contours of his cheeks and jawline. Theo's eyes were filled with love and adoration as he stared at Ashton, who was fast asleep. "You've always been beautiful, my little dragon," Theo whispered, his voice barely audible. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and ownership as he gazed at Ashton's peaceful form.Ashton stirred in his sleep, snuggling more into the pillow and pressing his face and nose firmly against it. It was as if he wanted to smell Theo's scent even more through the pillow. Theo smiled at Ashton's reaction, his heart swelling with love and affection. He leaned forward and kissed Ashton's forehead, his lips brushing against his skin with a gentle tenderness. The softness of Ashton's skin and the sweetness of his scent filled Theo's senses, and he felt his love for Ashton grow even stronger.With
"So, can someone tell us what exactly is going on? What are missing here?" Sasha asked, her voice laced with frustration and confusion, after they were all seated in the kitchen. "Because you're getting us confused." She looked around the room, her eyes scanning their faces as if searching for answers.Elijah took a deep breath, preparing himself to explain the events that had transpired in the coven. He began to recount the story of how Ashton and Ricky had settled in peacefully at the coven, and how successful Ashton's shifts had gone.Mason and Sasha listened attentively, their eyes wide with amazement and curiosity. They felt so proud of their Luna. But they were eager to know more about what exactly had happened with Ricky in particular. Elijah paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts before continuing. He told them about Brandon and the wizards, and how they had taken Ricky away without their notice."WHAT?" Both Mason and Sasha exclaimed in unison, their voices filled wi
As the group made their way towards the pack house, the pack members couldn't help but notice that Theo was carrying their Luna in his arms. They started questioning what was wrong with their Luna, their voices filled with concern. "What happened to him?" one of them asked, her eyes wide with worry."Luna... Is he okay?" Another asked with concern.Theo quickly reassured them that Ashton was fine and was just tired from the drive. He told them that he was just sleeping and needed to rest for now.His words brought relief to the pack members, and they continued on their way, eager to settle back into their routine and find places for the dragons to stay.Just as they were about to enter the pack house, Mason, who had been anxiously waiting for a certain person, asked a question that stopped Theo, Elijah, and Ara in their tracks..."Where is Ricky?" Mason asked, his voice laced with concern. "Why isn't he here with you?" The group's eyes met, and they exchanged worried glances, unsure
Theo, sensing Elijah's unease and tension, spoke up, his voice filled with conviction and determination. "We should return to my pack." "The pack is protected by the dragon queen's pear. We'll be safe there." Elijah and Ara nodded in fervent agreement, knowing that Theo's pack, Dark Shadow Pack, was the perfect sanctuary for the dragons, a place of refuge.Without hesitation, Elijah called an emergency meeting with the entire coven, gathering everyone in the square. He stood before them, his voice ringing out across the crowd with clarity and authority, as he explained the perilous situation and their decision to leave the coven. The dragons, still wary of the pack and the werewolves, who had once hated them with a fierce and unrelenting passion, listened intently, their faces skeptical and unsure.But as Elijah reminded them of how he had saved them from the mad king brutal attack, and how their prince, Ashton, had been mated to the alpha, their expressions softened and their eyes
Ara's words hung in the air, leaving Theo and Elijah stunned and bewildered, their minds reeling with the implications of what they had just heard. "The dragon queen was the incarnation of the Golden Sword's master?" Theo repeated, his voice filled with shock, his eyes wide with wonder.Ara nodded, her expression serious, her eyes seeming to bore into the very souls of Theo and Elijah. "Yes, that's right. And the Golden Sword will be essential if you want to kill your enemy in the future and fulfill the prophecy." She concluded. Elijah's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with questions, "But why do the wizards want the Golden Sword?" he asked, his voice laced with confusion. "I thought they only wanted the Dragon's Core. What do they want with the Golden Sword? Why would they take Ricky in the first place?"Ara's expression turned somber, her eyes clouding over with a mixture of sadness and regret, as if she were remembering a painful event from her past. "The wizards are involved now
Ara looked at Dark, her eyes seeming to bore into his very soul, as if searching for some hidden truth. "Why don't you explain it to him?" she asked, her voice soft and gentle this time. "You're his wolf, and you witnessed the downfall of the golden sword. You were friends with it, weren't you?"Dark shook his head, waving his hands back in denial. He closed his eyes and opened them again. A mixture of sadness and regret could be seen in his eyes and Theo could practically feel his wolf's distress."I don't want to tell the story," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I don't want to remember that day."Ara's expression softened, her eyes filled with compassion as he looked at Dark. "I'll tell him, then," she said. "I witnessed the great war, too. I saw the golden sword sacrifice itself to stop the war."Theo and Elijah's eyes were glued to Ara's face as shock took over their body."What happened?" Elijah finally asked, his voice still trembling with shock. Just what happened
