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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Ashton woke up in a dungeon, his mind foggy and his body aching. Where is this?He was confused and scared, unsure of where he was or how he had gotten there.The dungeon didn't look like his former prison cell at Alpha Nicholas' pack, and Ashton became scared of what would happen to him. He didn't even know for how many days he had been captured.He negr really got iver the nightmares he endured back then with Ricky. The only thing that kept those nightmares away was his mate, Alpha Theo. But now... he was back in a dungeon again, a place he never dreamt of revisiting. How did this happen?Then he remembered... those men in masks took him away after sedating Sasha and Ricky. But who are they and what did they wantt from him?As he looked around, Ashton saw that the dungeon was dark and damp, with stone walls and a cold, hard floor. There was a small window high up on one wall, but it was too small for Ashton to fit through. He was trapped. There was no way he would be able to esca
Sasha and Ricky's body laid in the grass emotionless. They didn't for how long they've been left there since they were unconscious anyway. Some warriors patrolling around the pack house saw the unconscious bodies of Ricky and Sasha lying on the ground. They immediately rushed to their side, panic etched on their faces. "Get them inside, now!" one of the warriors yelled without any delay. The warriors quickly picked up Ricky and Sasha and carried them inside the pack house. They screamed for attention which the got. Alpha Theo, Michael, Mason, Kelvin, and Elijah were all summoned to the scene. The stared at the unconscious bodies in confusion. But .ost importantly, why was there only Sasha and Ricky? Where's Ashton? Theo started to panic inside but tried to calm down and not to overreact. "What happened?" Alpha Theo demanded, his eyes scanning the room frantically as if anyone could tell him what was going on. The warriors explained how they found Ricky and Sasha unconsci
