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
Few minutes ago, Ricky stayed with Ashton for a while after the oracle left. The two didn't particularly discuss about anything. They just stayed in each other's arms in silent until Ricky's stomach growled. "Why don't you go get something to eat? Don't worry about me, I will be alright. Besides, I need some time alone." Ashton said to his friend. "Are you sure you will b okay alone, brother Ash?" Rickey questioned. "I'm sure I will be just fine. Don worry about me. Go get something to eat now." Ashton urged and offered him a small smile. Ricky agreed and bid Ashton goodnight, the soft glow of the hallway lights casting a warm ambiance t the room as left. But instead of heading to his own room, his feet carried him to Mason's door, as if drawn by an unseen force. He knocked softly, but there was no answer. Assuming Mason was out for a walk or running some errands, Ricky turned the handle and slipped inside. "Whe am I here instead of the kitchen?" Rickey questioned him
A week have passed and Ashton was getting better with his emotions over the time. Theo would always sleep beside him and cuddle him to sleep. He would also help with his shower and food. To Ashton, Theo had become his dependent without him even realizing. The morning sun shone brightly on face, making him squint his eyes. Ashton woke up with a swirl of emotions washing over him. He reached out to the other side of the bed, anticipating the familiar warmth of Alpha Theo beside him, only to find himself grasping nothing but empty space. He opened his eyes and sat up abruptly, feeling disappointment; Alpha Theo was not in my bed with him. How? But he was there the night before. And Ashton remembered sleeping in jis arms. How was he in not in bed early in the morning? Did he go for a meeting? But he could have woken him up and inform him. Why would he leave just like that? A wave of sadness washed over him, causing tears to sting at Ashton's eyes. He bit his lip to suppress the w
Theo, Ashton, Mason and Ricky walked through the bush as the sun shone brightly but not scorched. Ricky was bubbling with enthusiasm, talking non-stop and laughing at his own jokes. The little boy was so happy. He didn't seemed like someone who had gone through a lot at the hands of Alpha Nicholas. Mason listened with keen interest and laughed alongside him. Everything Ricky did made Mason's heart swelled. Alpha Theo on the other hand was pushing Ashton's wheelchair. The heavy silence enveloped the pair. It seemed as if they were strangers. Thoughts raced through Ashton's mind making his head ached. Did he do something wrong? If yes, what had he possibly done to cause this cold shoulder from Theo? Why was the Demon Alpha acting so distant? Again... Ashton hated it. The woods provided no explanations. Only the sound of rustling leaves and Alpha Theo’s quietness was heard. As they continued walking, Ashton became aware of the towering trees around them. Their branches swayed g
Upon arriving at the pack house with th stranger, Elijah, whose mysterious aura sparked curiosity that lingered among them. Mason felt an unsettling impression that Elijah was hiding something significant, as his intense gaze suggested untold tales and hidden truths. Theo on the other maintained a wary demeanor, slightly narrowing his eyes as he regarded Elijah with a blend of intrigue and caution. There was no way he's accepting a stranger to his pack with an open arms. Ashton and Ricky exchanged looks filled with uncertainty, their expressions mirroring the tension that enveloped the atmosphere. Though they were the youngest among the group, they could also sense the tension in the air and it made them a bit uncomfortable and skeptical. “We are home,” Ashton stated, disrupting the growing heaviness of silence among them. Elijah’s eyes scanned the pack house, absorbing the inviting decor houses and the palpable sense of togetherness within. It felt like home indeed. “Thank y
As the night went on, Ashton felt curious and worried. He was no longer paying attention whatever jokes Ricky was saying. He couldn't stop thinking about Elijah, who seemed mysterious and maybe even a little scary but at the same time friendly. Ashton wanted answers to all the questions in his head, especially about Elijah's familiarity to him and the secrets of the Dragon Kingdom. After all, he’s the prince of the kingdom and perhaps one day, he might want to return home. Not getting anywhere with his thoughts, Ashton decided to go to bed. He was tired frm sitting in that damn wheelchair. "I'm going to bed. My mind is racing with questions, and I need some time to think." He said to no one in particular. Mason nodded, looking concerned. "Goodnight, Luna. I hope you have peaceful dreams." He said. Ricky smiled sweetly at him, "Sleep well, brother Ash. See you tomorrow. Don't worry, We'll work together to figure out Elijah's story." Ricky said to him. Theo looked at Ashton
"Can you explain?" Ashton asked Elijah quietly, his voice barely above a whisper. Elijah was being vague with his words and Ashton wanted to explain further. Elijah's face relaxed, and he smiled softly."Be patient," Elijah said reassuringly. "All will be revealed in due time. Now is not th right time." Ashton nodded, knowing he had to trust and wait. They sat in silence for a while, making other if them feel awkward. Elijah stood up to leave after a while, his movements quiet and deliberate. "I must go now. I just came to check up on you." he said, his voice low and gentle.Ashton nodded again, feeling a sense of disappointment wash over him. Why did he wanted Elijah around more?"Sleep well," Ashton said softly, his voice filled with gratitude. Elijah smiled softly and nodded, before disappearing into the hallway. However, he paused just as he was about closed the door and stared at Ashton's legs."Your legs..." Elijah sad and paused. "Ah! It's nothing serious to worry about.
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
"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
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
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
Ara's words hung in the air, leaving Theo and Elijah stunned and bewildered, their minds reeling with the implications of what they had just heard. "The dragon queen was the incarnation of the Golden Sword's master?" Theo repeated, his voice filled with shock, his eyes wide with wonder.Ara nodded, her expression serious, her eyes seeming to bore into the very souls of Theo and Elijah. "Yes, that's right. And the Golden Sword will be essential if you want to kill your enemy in the future and fulfill the prophecy." She concluded. Elijah's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with questions, "But why do the wizards want the Golden Sword?" he asked, his voice laced with confusion. "I thought they only wanted the Dragon's Core. What do they want with the Golden Sword? Why would they take Ricky in the first place?"Ara's expression turned somber, her eyes clouding over with a mixture of sadness and regret, as if she were remembering a painful event from her past. "The wizards are involved now
Ara looked at Dark, her eyes seeming to bore into his very soul, as if searching for some hidden truth. "Why don't you explain it to him?" she asked, her voice soft and gentle this time. "You're his wolf, and you witnessed the downfall of the golden sword. You were friends with it, weren't you?"Dark shook his head, waving his hands back in denial. He closed his eyes and opened them again. A mixture of sadness and regret could be seen in his eyes and Theo could practically feel his wolf's distress."I don't want to tell the story," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I don't want to remember that day."Ara's expression softened, her eyes filled with compassion as he looked at Dark. "I'll tell him, then," she said. "I witnessed the great war, too. I saw the golden sword sacrifice itself to stop the war."Theo and Elijah's eyes were glued to Ara's face as shock took over their body."What happened?" Elijah finally asked, his voice still trembling with shock. Just what happened
Elijah and Theo couldn't help but find the banter between Ara and Dark cute, their exchange was like a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there was always room for a little humor. But Theo knew they couldn't get sidetracked, not when Ricky's life was at stake. He had to break the banter and get back to the matter at hand. He asked through Dark again, his voice firm and words urgent. "Hold on... What the hell is the golden sword?"Ara's expression turned serious, her eyes narrowing in thought, her gaze introspective, as if she were searching for the right words. "The golden sword, also known as Starlight, is an ancient artifact," she began.But before she could continue, Dark interrupted, his voice smooth and dismissal, as if he didn't want to talk about it... "Yes, and it's currently residing inside Ricky's body," he said, his eyes glinting with knowledge.Theo's eyes widened in surprise, his expression shocked, his face pale, as if he had been punched in the gut. "What? Ho
Ara's eyes narrowed, her gaze piercing as she stared at the empty space where Brandon had once stood, her mind reeling with the implications of his escape. How the hell was he able to escape her chain binding in the first place? What can of magic did he use? She had thought she had securely bound him, using all of her formidable powers to restrain him, but somehow, he had managed to slip free from her grasp without her noticing, a rare mistake that only served to fuel her anger to recapture him and torture him slowly. "How did he manage to escape?" Elijah asked, his voice laced with concern, his eyes scanning Ara's face for any sign of what had gone wrong. Ara's expression turned icy, her voice dripping with disdain as she replied, "I don't know, but I'll find out. And when I do, he'll pay for getting away from me, for daring to defy my power." Her words were laced with so much anger, a promise of retribution that sent a shiver down both Theo and Elijah's spine. They swore never
Theo sent the sleeping Ashton to their room and gently lay him on the bed. He kissed his forehead before slowly closing the door behind him and returning to Elijah's room to ask the questions it had been bothering him. "You are back! How is he?" Elijah asked him. "He's just asleep." Theo replied before taking a seat. He then turned his face towards Ara, who seemed to be in her own world as she hummed as if she didn't let Brandon take Ricky away. Theo's eyes narrowed, confusion etched on his face, his brow furrowed in concentration as he asked... "What's this golden sword again you were talking about?" Ariana's gaze shifted, her eyes seeming to bore into Theo's very soul, as if searching for something hidden deep within, with a playful smile on her face. However, it wasn't Theo she was looking at. She was looking at something or someone inside his soul - it was Dark, his wolf, a being of ancient power and wisdom. A small, playful smile played on her lips, a hint of mischief danc
