It been weeks since Theo decided to believe Elijah and though their friendship aren’t that great, Theo had indeed lowered his guard around Elijah. His relationship with Ashton had been growing as thankfully, Ashton's legs had fully healed.Now, in few months, he would turned eighteen and would be able to hear his dragon and even have his first shift.Everyday had been peaceful and lovely in the Shadow Moon Pack until today.Theo's office was filled with tension as he gathered his top advisors: Michael, Kelvin, and Mason. The morning sun cast a golden glow through the windows, but the atmosphere was far from warm."What's going on? Tell them what you just told me.” Theo asked, his voice firm but controlled.The warrior, whose name was Ryder, took a deep breath though he looked a bit a panicked. "We had a sighting at the border," he began. "One of our warriors saw movement, like someone or more likely, some people were approaching our territory. We thought it was best to go and check t
The sun was setting over the horizon, casting a golden glow over the landscape. People were moving around doing their daily routine while children plated and laughed as they had no care in the world. But Theo's heart was filled with a sense of unease. What was happening at their border was eating him up and he wished they were overthinking and nothing was wrong. Nevertheless, he knew he had to find out whether they were overthinking or not. Whatever the outcome might be, the safety of his pack depended on it. Going to room, he saw Ashton'l standing in front of the mirror as he buttoned his shirt. "Hey... I guess you've already taken you shower. And here I was thinking that we could take a shower together." Theo teased as he waked behind Ashton and hugged him from behind. He buried his face in his neck and took in scent. Theo closed his eyes and enjoyed his mate sweet scent feeling his nostrils. It sounds ridiculous and funny that, Ashton wasn't even at age yet to know Theo w
"Alpha... Alpha... I'm glad I found you," he said, his voice shaking. "Hey... hey... calm down and tell us what happened!" Theo said and caught the trembling warrior before he could fall."I was ... I was scouting the border when I saw something... something that can't be explained."Theo's eyes narrowed. "What did you see?" he asked, his voice demanding. The warrior hesitated, his eyes darting nervously around the group. "I saw... I saw shadows moving in the trees," he said. "And then I heard the howling. It was like nothing I've ever heard before.Out of curiosity, I moved closer to get a view and... and... and... I saw hundreds of rogues, gathered around and preparing to attack our pack!" The warrior concluded in a panic.The numbers of rogues he saw made him weak in the knee.Theo's face was grim. "We need to get to the bottom of this," he said. "Mason, Kelvin, and all of you, let's move forward and see what we can find."Theo was determined to uncover the truth, no matter what
Theo and his team had been scouting the perimeter of their territory for hours, searching for any sign of the enemy, which the could clearly hear their voice but no... something was oddly off about the whole thing.Why could they only hear few voices, not sounding like an army going for battle? It was more like a group of people enjoying the evening in the woods.Not only that, but as they moved through the darkness, they couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched.It felt like all their movement and locations were being monitored by pair of eyes. If it was only Theo who felt that way, he might have shook it off. But no! Everyone felt the same. Was someone or something watching them?"Yes! Someone... no! We are being watched by people. I sense them." Dark said to Theo, who nodded in an understanding "Everyone... be careful! I think we are being watched." Theo whispered to his group, who nodded I'm an understanding.However, little did they know that things were going a
As the battle raged on back at the pack, Theo and his team were still unaware of the chaos that was erupting back at home. They were too far away, and the enemy had managed to sneak past them undetected. For them, they still wanted to know why they could only hear voices instead if the voice of a army. Soon, they reached where the supposed enemies were, only to see that the noises they were hearing was actually from a small radio which gad a recorder inserted in. "What the fuck!" Mason cussed out loud. He couldn't believe his eyes. Not only him, the rest of the group together with Theo was als shocked. "We've been tricked!" Kelvin voiced out as he pulled his hair back in frustration. Well... he didn't need to spell out because everyone had come to such a conclusion. "But - but - what about their scent in the air?" Ine warrior questioned. The rest started looking around until Theo's eyes landed on piles of clothes gathered around. "It was the smell from these clothes that w
"Dark? Theo?" Michael said as relief washed over him."Brother!" Sasha said as she saw her brother, Mason running alongside the alpha. A smile crept in her face.Now... everything was going to be alright. They were safe. Theo, Mason and Kelvin alongside their warriors fought and killed the enemies as if they were chasing ants.Bodies were ripped and thrown everywhere. But just as it seemed like they were gaining the upper hand, a group of enemy wolves emerged from the trees, their eyes fixed on Theo/Dark specifically. Theo/Dark growled, his hackles rising. He knew that he was the enemy's main target, and he was ready to defend himself.As the enemy wolves charged towards him, Theo stood his ground, his teeth bared and his claws extended. He was ready to fight to the death, if necessary.But just as the enemy wolves were about to attack, a loud howl echoed through the forest, sending a shiver down everyone's spine.What or who was that?The enemy wolves hesitated, their ears perked
That night, not everywhere was as peaceful as Shadow Moon Pack despite the intense battle. In the heart of the Dragon Kingdom, King Matthias and the council of elders gathered in the grand throne room, their faces etched with concern and determination.For weeks, they had been discussing the growing threat of the werewolf packs, and how to assert their dominance over the land.To them, power was all tha mattered to them. As dragons, they've grow this mentality that only them has the right to all lands. After all, they can stay both in the sky and land, which is the sign of dominance. "We must show them our strength," King Matthias declared, his voice echoing off the stone walls. "We will not be intimidated by their numbers or their ferocity."He channeled all the ager of losing his queen into killing the werewolves. Not only that, he even killed some of his own kinds when they get in his way.For Kimg Mathias, nothing matters to him now except power. His wife is gone! And his child
As the high priestess and the elders emerged from the temple, they were met with a sight of utter devastation. All the heard was a loud thud... and there... The building behind them had collapsed, its stones scattered everywhere. Even the temple had collapsed. But they didn't have time to mourn the loss of the temple. They had to find a safe place to regroup and figure out what was happening. Things were becoming more dre and they just hoped the earthquake would stop any moment. They weren't sure if they could stomach and the loss later on. They made their way to a nearby building, one that had withstood the shaking and trembling. As they entered, they were greeted by an eerie silence. Suddenly, the trembling and collapsing of building had stopped abruptly as if it never occurred had it not been for the ruins it left behind. The shaking and trembling had indded stopped, and an unsettling stillness had fallen over the land. Even the inhabitants who were screaming and runni
Sasha had been searching for Ashton throughout the pack, but couldn't find him anywhere, no matter how hard she looked, no matter how many places she checked.Though Ashton was not as friendly as he used to be, he was still at least a bit closer to Sasha than the others, and she had grown accustomed to his presence, his brooding nature, and his sharp tongue.Where could he be by this time? Sasha asked herself, her mind racing with possibilities, her imagination running wild with thoughts of Ashton's whereabouts.She had checked the training grounds, the library, the kitchen, and even the gardens, but there was no sign of him anywhere.Finally, Sasha decided to go and search for him in his bedroom with Theo. However, when she arrived at the door, she found it locked, a fact that immediately raised her suspicions."That's Strange!" Sasha thought with a frown. She was about to leave, thinking that Ashton must not be inside, when she heard some grunting sounds coming from within the room
Ashton felt his eyes sting for the first time in three years after hearing his best friend's words in his head, a feeling that was both familiar and yet strange, like a whispered secret in the dead of night that seemed to awaken a deep sense of longing and nostalgia within him.'Come home soon Ricky, I need you,' Ashton said in his head, hoping that Ricky could hear him, his voice echoing through the silence like a desperate cry for help that seemed to reverberate through every cell in his body.And indeed he heard him, as he replied to Ashton in a voice that was filled with a deep sense of concern and urgency..."Brother Ash, don't do anything stupid," Ricky warned, his words with filled with urgency warning."The wizards want me to create a rift between you and the rest," Ricky continued, his voice filled with a deep sense of desperation and urgency, like a man clinging to the edge of cliff. "That was why I was sent here today, because Ara had finally found a new way to cure the alp
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
"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
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
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
"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
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? 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
