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
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
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
The pack's oracle came as quickly as she could, her aged feet moving swiftly with a sense of urgency, as she hastened to have a look at Theo, who lay motionless on the bed, his life force dwindling with each passing moment. Seeing his condition and how lifeless he was, the old lady's heart ached with a deep sorrow, a pang of pain that resonated deep within her soul. She remembered Theo's parents, her former alpha and Luna. How could she let anything happen to their only son? She was grateful that at least Theo was still alive, his chest rising and falling with shallow breaths, a faint glimmer of hope that lingered in the air. The oracle performed her ritual, her hands weaving intricate patterns in the air with a deliberate slowness, as she invoked the ancient powers that dwelled within the land and talked to the moon goddess. Theo's face suddenly turned pale amidst her ritual, as if he was reacting to some unseen force, his body responding to the oracle's invocation. Everyon
The oracle then left after she made some herbal medicine for Theo's bath and what to apply on his almost lifeless body, her instructions detailed and precise. Before leaving, she uttered only a few words: "He will be back." And with that, she departed, leaving the others to ponder the meaning behind her cryptic message. Elijah and Mason also left the room, excusing themselves to take care of some pressing matters regarding the pack's safety, as everyone was in a state of chaos about Theo's well-being. The atmosphere in the room was tense, the air thick with worry and concern. "Can I talk to you outside for a moment, Ara?" Michael asked gently, his voice low and soothing. His words were welcome respite from the tension in the room. Ara's heart skipped a beat, a sensation she had grown accustomed to whenever Michael spoke to her. It was as if her heart was responding to the sound of his voice, a phenomenon she couldn't quite explain. She felt a flutter in her chest, a feeling sh
Michael walked alongside Ara, his eyes darting everywhere but her. His gaze drifted back to Ara, his heart pounding in his chest with a mix of excitement and unease. He let his stayed on Ara's hand, which swung gently by her side, her fingers curled into a loose fist, her skin glowing with a soft, ethereal light. She was indeed not from this world. Michael felt an overwhelming urge to touch her, to make contact with her skin, to feel the spark of electricity that seemed to emanate from her very presence. Finally, he couldn't resist anymore, his curiosity getting the better of him. He just wanted to feel the spark again. He reached out and brushed his fingers against hers, the touch sending shivers down his spine. The moment their skin touched, Michael felt a jolt of electricity run through his body, a sudden surge of energy that left him breathless and bewildered. He knew, in that instant, his earlier conjuction was correct. Ara was indeed his mate, the one person destined t
"What do you mean by that?" Michael asked Ara seriously, his eyes narrowing as he searched for answers.Ara looked directly into Michael's eyes, her gaze piercing through the darkness, making him shrink back a little as she spoke... "Do you really want to know what and why I asked the oracle not to speak?" she asked, her voice low and mysterious, as if there was a hint of secrecy lurking beneath the surface.Michael nodded, his heart already in his throat about the answer Ara might give him, his mind filled with trepidation. "Yes," he said, a faint tremble underlying his words.With a deep sigh, Ara said, "There's only one thing that can save Theo's life now, and that is his mate's dragon pearl," her words dropping like a bombshell, the impact reverberating through Michael's entire being. Michael's eyes widened in shock as he stumbled backward, his mind reeling with the implications and his mind swirling with questions."What?" Michael asked, his voice lost and bewildered, a sense of
Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and months turned into years, a relentless march of time that seemed to drag on forever. It was hard to believe that it had been three long, arduous years since the last intense battle with the wizard in the wizard coven, a battle that had left Theo in a deep, seemingly impenetrable coma. For three years, Theo had lain motionless, his body trapped in a state of no return, with no cure in sight, nor was he dead yet, a fate that seemed almost worse than death itself.Everyone had lost hope, it seemed, their spirits crushed by the weight of Theo's prolonged illness. They all thought that perhaps it was better this way, or probably they should just relieve him of his distress by letting him die, a mercy killing that would end his suffering, but also end the hope that had sustained them for so long. But Ashton refused to accept such a fate for his mate, his heart rebelling against the thought of living without Theo by his side.It had b
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
