"How is he doing?" Alpha Theo inquired of the doctor after he had completed his examination of Ashton in the bedroom.

"He's doing well, Alpha! Most of his injuries are healing. If I’m correct, he should regain consciousness any day now," the doctor replied with respect.

Being in the presence of the Alpha added more pressure than he preferred. He just wanted to go home to his family so that he can breathe.

Over the past five days, while caring for their Alpha’s mate, the doctor felt utterly drained, both physically and mentally.

The Alpha had been relentless in his demands, shouting at him to heal Ashton as though the doctor possessed divine powers.

On one occasion, the Alpha had seized his throat, nearly choking him to death.

Ashton had convulsed violently and the doctor had to catch the him tightly to prevent him from rolling off the large bed. Unfortunately, Theo entered at that moment and misinterpreted their struggle, believing the doctor was taking advantage of Ashton and

  • The Promise Mate    Welcome Back To The Living

    In his nightmare, Ashton found himself fleeing from the Demon Alpha, who was determined to take his life. The creature resembled the embodiment of evil, instilling even greater fear in Ashton. He soon came to the realization that, regardless of how far he ran, there was no sanctuary to be found. The darkness enveloped him completely, with only a dim light trailing behind as he moved forward. It was the creepiest thing Ashton could ever think. Overcome with fatigue, Ashton halted his escape and turned to confront the Demon Alpha, who likewise paused his pursuit. They stared at each other for a while before Ashton opened his mouth to speak. "Why? Why did you murder my mother? Why do you want to kill me? JUST WHY???" Ashton shouted, finally understanding that he could speak. As he watched, a wicked grin spread across the Demon Alpha's face before his lips parted to utter a response. "Because all of you deserve to perish!" he proclaimed. The Alpha's voice was unlike anything Ashton h

  • The Promise Mate    Why Can't I Feel My Legs

    Ashton gazed up at the striking Demon Alpha hovering above him, momentarily at a loss for what to say or do. What was the purpose of him hovering like that? Suddenly realizing something felt off, Ashton questioned inwardly where he was. He had left that dark place in his nightmare to this unfamiliar place, though this place was distinctly bright. Tilting his head slightly away from the alpha, Ashton observed his surroundings as far as his vision could reach. He soon recognized that he was in a lavish room, reclined on a plush, inviting bed. What on earth was happening? Where was he exactly? "You are in my room, little dragon," Theo replied, seemingly able to read Ashton’s thoughts at the sight of his multiple blinks, answering his silent question. "Huh?" Ashton exclaimed, his eyes widening. Without a moment's thought, he summoned what little strength he had in him and pushed Theo off him. What in the world was this? What was he doing in the Demon's den? Was he losing his sanity

    After bathing Ashton, Theo dried him off, dressed him, and then brought him back to the room. He felt a sense of relief for having purchased some clothes for Ashton during the five days he was in a coma. Although he wasn't certain of Ashton's size, he relied on his own judgment based on Ashton’s physique to select items for him. Carefully placing Ashton on the bed, Theo intended to leave for a shower. Just as he was about to turn away, he felt a small hand grasp his larger one, causing him to look back at the now-awake boy. "Hmm... is there something you need, little dragon?" Theo inquired as he settled down on the bed beside him. Ashton released Theo's hand, which prompted Dark to whimper in protest within Theo’s mind. Dark cherished the feeling of his mate's hand in his own, feeling disappointed that Ashton had let go so quickly. "I - I - where is Rickey?" Ashton softly questioned, his gaze fixed on Theo, and waited for a response. "The little one is fine. He has been looking a

  • The Promise Mate    Little Dragon, You Are Drooling

    Ashton sat quietly on the bed, patiently waiting for Theo to complete his shower. He couldn't quite comprehend what was wrong with his legs. The last memory he had was of his legs being completely functional, even during the abuse inflicted by Alpha Nicholas. Suddenly, it felt as if a switch had been flipped, causing his legs to cease working. Just as he began to pull back the duvet to examine his legs, the bathroom door swung open, revealing Theo in all his splendor. Draped in nothing but a towel around his waist, he showcased his well-defined physique, with droplets of water cascading from his still-damp hair onto his body. The sight stirred an intense reaction in Ashton, causing his blood to rush. Despite his urge to look away, Ashton found it impossible. Theo was the epitome of a perfect body, and the realization awakened unfamiliar sensations within Ashton. Even though the Alpha bore various scars from past battles, these only enhanced his allure, as he had no tattoos marki

    "Little dragon... what would you like to eat? The doctor advised against solid food; you can only have liquids," Theo gently inquired of Ashton, who lifted his head from Theo's shoulder to gaze at the long table laden with various dishes. His mouth watered instantly, and he instinctively licked his lips as his eyes kept roaming through the foods. His reaction didn't go unnoticed, as Michael, Mason, and several other werewolves chuckled at his adorable antics. He looked so tiny and charming while nestled in their Alpha's lap. They were indeed a perfect match Ashton's face flushed with embarrassment, prompting him to quickly bury it in the crook of Theo’s neck once more. Theo couldn’t help but smile at the cute display put on by his little mate. He was growing fond of him every second. Just as he was about to say something, a sneer was head from the table, bringing silence to the room and causing Theo’s expression to darken. The smile that had been present only moments before had

    "Would you like to step outside for some fresh air?" Theo inquired from Ashton after their meal. He felt a sense of relief seeing Ashton cheerful throughout dinner, engaging in conversations with a few of his pack members. At the very least, it distracted him from asking about his mother. "Um... alright! But... my legs..." Ashton responded, a frown on his face as he gestured towards his legs. "Don't worry, I can carry you!" Theo declared, and before Ashton could voice any objections, he found himself swept up into Theo's arms. "You—" Ashton started, but hesitated when he met Theo's captivating emerald gaze. "What about me, little dragon?" Theo asked gently, his breath brushing against Ashton's face, causing him to take a deep breath to steady his racing heart. "N-nothing..." Ashton stammered, still captivated by Theo's eyes. "If your heart keeps racing like that, it might just burst," Theo remarked softly, chuckling as Ashton instinctively placed his hands over his chest, as if

  • The Promise Mate    Recalling Memories

    Theo made his way to the pack house, cradling Ashton in his arms. Upon entering the hall, they noticed a middle-aged woman seated on the couch, gently sipping her tea."You've finally arrived!" Michael exclaimed as he quickly approached Theo."Mm!" Theo simply nodded, casting a fierce glare at Michael, causing him to shiver in trepidation."W-what's with that look?" Michael inquired in confusion, wondering what he had possibly done to provoke Theo's anger."I'll handle you later!" Theo replied with a huff before striding over to the Oracle.Michael felt bewildered, akin to a child being admonished by parents. Scratching the back of his head, he decided to dismiss his concerns and turned his attention toward the Oracle as well."Nanna..." Theo addressed the middle-aged woman as he reached her."Oh, our alpha has arrived… and I presume this is our dear Luna," Nanna remarked, setting down her cup and getting to her feet.Ashton lifted his head from Theo's neck, gazing at the woman who re

    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

    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

    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.

    "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.

    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's fists pounded against the seal placed on the door of her room by her master, making her anger and frustration boiling with ferocity. She couldn't believe her master would lock her up the moment she ascended to the heaven realm, to seek help for Theo's affliction. An affliction that seemed both cruel and heartless. But what was wrong with her master? Didn't he know that Theo's life was in danger, and so was Ashton's? What if they lose the dragon's core, the one thing that kept the forces of darkness at bay?Ara's mind was a whirlwind of questions and doubts.Her head ached with the implications of her master's actions, making her heart heavy with worry and concern. She felt trapped and helpless, locked away from the world she was trying to save, a world that seemed to be falling apart at anytime. Her master's decision was really annoying.

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.
