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
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
"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
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
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. Everyone I'm
As time goes on, Michael, Elijah, and the rest of the pack became increasingly worried about Ashton, their concerns growing with each passing day, and their anxiety escalating.Yes, Ashton had grown stronger and more mature, his leadership skills honed to perfection, his strategic thinking and battle tactics unparalleled. But he was slowly detaching from everyone around him, his emotional walls rising higher and higher, his heart becoming increasingly cold.The only time you could see him smiling was when he was talking to Theo, who lay motionless in his bed, trapped in a coma that seemed to have no end, a fate that seemed cruel and unjust. Everyone became worried and frustrated, their concerns growing with each passing day.The most devastating one among them was Michael, who felt like he was losing his best friend, his brother, his son, his confidant, the person he had shared countless memories with... Theo. And also... her mate.Three years ago, after he had that particular conver
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
"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
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 to be b
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 she had
