Ashton gazed at the oracle in bewilderment, puzzled by the barrage of questions she was directing at him. What did any of this have to do with the feeling of levitation in his legs? Despite his confusion, he let out a defeated sigh and responded softly, "I can't recall anything. I have no idea how I ended up here or what led me to this place." He was also bewildered by his own lack of memory. How had he ended up in the Demon Alpha's pack in the beginning? And how did he even discern that the Alpha was a demon? Ah, that’s right! A nightmare featuring two Demon Alphas had crossed his mind, but that was the extent of his recollection. It felt as though a segment of his memory had been completely erased. The oracle shifted her focus from Theo and Michael, settling at Ashton's feet on the bed, and regarded him gently before inquiring once more... "Well... it seems a few people here have referred to you as Luna. Do you understand why they called you that? And what about him...?" sh
Alpha Theo sensed mini explosion within him, restlessness coursing through his veins as his heart raced uncontrollably. Dark experienced a similar turmoil while observing their mate recoiling from them in fear and disgust. It pained them to witness the scene unfold; despite Theo’s cold demeanor, everyone had noticed his growing affection for Ashton over the past few days. He was beginning to understand the essence of living for someone you, yet, in an instant, everything seemed to crumbling before him. Coming to the realization that he was the source of everything made him more angry at himself. He pondered how he could mend things and restore harmony between him and Ashton. Michael and the oracle shared a sense of bewilderment at the recent developments. They had anticipated that if Ashton regained his memories, the situation might escalate, but they never envisioned it would manifest in such an alarming manner. The frightened expression and trembling body of Ashton as

Ashton and Rickey gazed at the oracle with tear-filled eyes, questioning why she would wish to speak with Ashton, fully aware of the anguish her alpha had inflicted upon him. His mother death was on the alpha even though he didn't kill her with his hand. Could she possibly be asking for Ashton's forgiveness? That would be an unfavorable scenario, considering how early she was in her understanding. How could someone like her take such a sides? "Don't worry, my dear," the oracle reassured. "I just wish to have a friendly chat with you. I understand your pain, and your feelings are entirely valid. Yet, it's important for you to grasp certain things: whatever happens is part of the divine plan of the moon goddess; we cannot control it, and acceptance is crucial. Your bond with our little alpha is also aligned with the will of the gods, and we must adhere to their wish for us, my child. At this moment, you might perceive our little alpha as the most horrible of beings. However, what
Theo rushed out, overwhelmed by his emotions and struggling to maintain control. His Wolf was equally agitated. How could things have turned out this way? This wasn't their desired outcome. After enduring torment for so long, just when they finally glimpsed a spark of hope, everything seemed to collapse. How could he possibly regain his composure? Transforming into his Wolf, he dashed into the wilderness without a second thought despite being dark outside. After all, he's a alpha. He cared little for where he was heading; he simply needed to escape the pain and turmoil inside him. All he sought was solitude, far away from anyone or anything that could ease his emotional turmoil. To his surprise, he found himself back at the same spot where he had recently been with Ashton. He couldn't help but sit in the very place where he had shared moments with his mate, memories of their recent conversation flooding his mind. Ashton had smiled during their talk, and the kiss they shared an
"Nana, what brings you here?" Michael couldn't restrain himself from inquiring of the oracle. "Nana, I thought we left you with th Luna, so..." he pressed on. “What do you mean by asking me that, you fool? I came here to have a discussion with little alpha of course!” the oracle responded with a huff before making her way toward Theo, leaving Michael momentarily stunned. On the other side, Theo remained indifferent to who stood before him or what they might say to affect his feelings. He felt undeserving of any form happiness; every time he attempted to find joy, it seemed to slip from his grasp. If not, how would his mate hate him now. He knew he had committed many atrocious deeds and spilled many blood of the dragons. However, was he to be blamed? The dragons did the same to his people too, right? “How are you feeling, my child?” the old oracle inquired of Theo when she stood besides him. Theo met her gaze but struggled to produce a response. Was she genuinely interested in ho
Theo was at a loss for words or actions after absorbing all the information he just received. The harm had already been done, and he was left wondering how he could possibly make amends. Since the death of his parents, he had never experienced such inner turmoil. He usually had a clear sense of how to act or speak. Moreover, he was not someone who engaged in much conversation. Now, however, he found himself overwhelmed with thoughts, more than he could count. All of this, for what? For his mate, Ashton. But now... "Stop acting as if it's all your fault. While I will admit that I don't agree with many of your methods, I also know that hurting our mate was never your intention. His words back then certainly pushed you to the edge. What's crucial now is figuring out how to regain our mate’s trust," Dark reassured Theo in his mind. Theo simply gave him a nod, as he struggled to find the right words. For the first time since connecting with his wolf, they mutually recognized their relia
As soon as Ashton detected the sound of the bathroom door shutting, he blinked back his tears and placed a hand over his mouth to muffle his cries. In truth, he was unsure why he was weeping—whether it was due to the alpha's anguish or his own. He should be hurt for his own pain... He should hurt for his mother's death... He should be hurt by all the dead dragons. However, Ashton could clearly sense that those weren't the reason why he was crying. Then... he was definitely crying for hi alpha. When he sensed the doorknob turning, he quickly shut his eyes and feigned sleep. He had no intention of making eye contact with the alpha or engage in conversation. He wasn’t ready. His feelings were a chaotic jumble, and he felt lost as to whom or where he could express himself. Yet, he was acutely aware that sharing with the alpha could result in two possible scenarios. Firstly, he might inadvertently say something that would hurt the alpha, and the mere thought of causing him pain
The night had been a sleepless one for Ashton. He had cried himself to sleep, his heart heavy with the weight of Alpha Theo's silence. He had never felt so alone, so unwanted. He had thought that their bond was unbreakable, that nothing could ever come between them. But now, he wasn't so sure. As he lay in bed, he couldn't shake the feeling that he had lost Alpha Theo forever. He had told him that he didn't want to go with Elijah anymore, and Alpha Theo had taken it as a personal rejection. Ashton had tried to explain himself, to tell Alpha Theo that he just couldn't handle the thought of being away from him for so long. But Alpha Theo hadn't listened. The next morning, Ashton dragged himself to the dining table, his eyes red and puffy from lack of sleep. He took his seat, trying to avoid eye contact with Alpha Theo, who was already seated at the head of the table. The rest of the pack began to file in, taking their seats and chatting quietly among themselves. Michael, Mason, Kelv

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
