“Did you people kill them? Did the bad dragons kill them? But why? Why did you kill my parents? I love my mom and dad, but you killed them…” Theo said as he was no longer sobbing, but wailing. His cries caught the attention of the rest around, and they all became sad. The little boy's cries broke their heart. Michael and Granny couldn't hold back their tears as they also sobbed hard. Of course, their Alpha and Luna, together with their Pack Oracle and members, are gone from their lives. “I'm sorry, my child, I'm really sorry!” The Dragon Queen said and hugged Theo for comfort as the little boy cried. “My Queen, sorry to interrupt, but we have to leave!” One of the dragons said anxiously as she kept glancing at the sky. “Listen to me, my child…" When you grow up, you will meet a boy named Ashton. He shall be your Promise Mate. He shall be the one to heal your wounds deep inside your heart. He shall be the one to bring you back to the right track when you have deviated from it.
**18 YEARS LATER** **PRESENT AT DARK SHADOW MOON PACK** “Knock, knock!” Alpha Theoheard, someone knocking on his office door and knew it was his Beta, Mason. “Come in!” he answered with a deep, masculine voice, not taking his eyes off the file on his desk. “Hey, what’s up?” Mason greeted, making himself comfortable in one of the chairs. Mason was among the select few whom Alpha Theo had learned to trust over the years, allowing them to be closer to himself. Nevertheless, Theo was not open to everyone. Many had to fight hard to earn even a nod of approval from him. He was no longer the naive boy who was quick to smile and share jokes. For the last eighteen years, Alpha Theo had not smiled. Not even once. His expression was typically one of a scowl or a cunning smirk reserved for his enemies. Following their rescue by the dragon queen, Theo resided in a sanctuary for homeless werewolves established by her until he turned eighteen. Upon completing his first shift, Theo returne
ASHTON REFUSED TO SUBMIT TO ANY OF THEM. Just like at this very moment… Alpha Nicholas descended into the dungeons and headed directly to Ashton's cell, where he was with a small boy named Rickey. Rickey, who is currently 15 years old, was captured alongside his parents and Ashton when he was just twelve. Unfortunately, his parents lost their lives a few months prior. Ashton made it his mission to protect Rickey at all costs, seeing him as a younger brother. Whenever the Alphas or their warriors intended to exert their will over Rickey, Ashton willingly stepped in to bear their assaults in Rickey's stead. “Come here, you filthy little dragon!” Alpha Nicholas barked, prompting the frightened boy to drag his battered and weak body towards Ashton, seeking refuge behind him. Ashton remained seated, unbothered by the Alpha's presence, while he held Rickey close to him. One notable aspect that Alpha Nicholas and the others observed about Ashton was that he was impervious to their Al
Ashton and Rickey never slept the whole night despite their bodies protest. Who would even want to sleep when he was sending it to the Demon Alpha? The fear of what was about to befall them the next day at the Demon Alpha's Pack terrified them to their core. Is there even hope for survival? Will a miracle happen? But Ashton and the rest of the dragon prisoners knew it was impossible. There's no miracle people whatsoever for them. Entering the Demon Alpha's Pack meant death or no return or survival. Your DOOM is solidified the moment you enter that pack as a dragon. Ashton could hear the distraught cries of the nearby dragons. They fear that what is coming to them the next day was making them restless. "Brother Ash, are we really going to die tomorrow? Are they really sending us to the Demon Alpha's pack? Is there no way for us to run away?" Rickey asked with his hoarse little voice. The little boy was on the verge of breaking down. Fear was vivid in his eyes and voi
Alpha Nicholas instructed his men to place them in the back of the truck before they hurried away. "Honestly, I’m relieved we didn’t have to walk all the way because im not sure if Rickey would be able to walk." Ashton thought to himself and heaved a sigh of relief. As they drove, his let his eyes to only fix on the trees whizzing by, the birds soaring over his head, and the expansive blue sky. Everything appeared so vibrant and lush, giving him the definition of life. What a joy it was to feel free. Many of the captives drifted off to sleep during the ride to their ultimate fate. But for Ashton, he remained awake, gently stroking Rickey's soft hair in an attempt to coax him to sleep. He desperately wanted to prevent Rickey from beginning to cry of he wakes up. The little boy an effects on him that Ashton didn't understand. He felt some connection with him the first time they met. That with his innocent appearance made Ashton instantly became fond of him. ********** Afte
Ashton found it impossible to keep looking at the Demon Alpha, so he turned his head away. Was he crazy to keep looking at the person who was about to kill him and his people? Nevertheless, he couldn’t grasp the reason behind his emotions. An overwhelming desire to be close to the Demon Alpha took him by surprise. Even looking away from him tugged at his heart and he fought with every fiber in him not to turn and look back a him again. What is happening? Why was he feeling that way?! He despised the cruel Alpha with every fiber of his being. If it were up to him, Ashton would definitely have no hesitation in ending the Alpha’s life right there. Yet, the mere thought of the Alpha dying felt as devastating as if he were losing his own life. Ashton felt his chest squeezing at the thought of the Demon Alpha dying. Just what the hell was going on with him? Confused by his feelings, Ashton shifted his focus to Rickey, who looked as though he would rather perish than be incinerated b
Dark made several attempts to leap at the wall, but in his heart, he understood it was pointless. With a heavy sigh, Theo retook his seat and tried to control his emotions and stay composed. He was also fed up with his wolf. Ever since he shifted for th first time, there hasn't been a single day he and his wolf didn't fight. If they don't fight over finding their mate, there will fight over how Theo handle things. Dark had always disagree with him for his killing spree. But Theo never bothered himself about what his wolf think or prefer. After returning to his seat comfortably, it was at that moment Theo recognized that Dark's behavior had drawn the gaze of everyone present, including that dragon whose scent was driving him to insanity. Yet, once again, the little troublemaker averted his gaze, showing no desire to meet Theo's eyes. What the hell is going on! What's his problem? Why does he keep averting his gaze from him? Alpha Theo was on the verge of exploding with rage. It
"Repeat what you just said," Alpha Theo glared at Ashton, his voice laced with fury. What the hell! He's an Alpha who's feared by many species. And yet. This little dragon dared to talk to him in that tone? H3s indeed courting death! An overwhelming alpha aura radiated from him like a tidal wave, yet he held nothing back. Theo knew how his aura affect many people, even some Alphas couldn't resist his aura. But at that moment, he felt there's no need to hold back, because he wanted teach that boy a lesson he would never forget. He wouldn't dream of talking to him like that again. His gaze fixated on Ashton, his eyes intent on instilling fear in the younger boy before him. Yet, speaking to Ashton felt akin to addressing something unyielding, as if the boy was an immovable object; every other alpha and werewolf present sensed his challenge and were eager to react. Just looking at the boy standing in front of their Alpha without any fear baffled them all. Where did his confidence com
In the Dragon Kingdom, King Matthias was visited by four wizards who arrived unexpectedly, their presence shrouded in an aura of mystery and evil. Though their arrival was unexpected, King Matthias was interested in what or their reasons of visiting his Kingdom. Thus, he welcomed them and asked of their arrival. The four wizards informed him about the events that had transpired in the Dark Shadow Moon Pack, revealing the shocking truth about Theo's coma and his miraculous awakening.The wizards shared their knowledge about the impending threat of the werewolves, a powerful and ruthless species that sought to destroy the Dragon Kingdom and kill Mathias. They proposed an alliance with King Matthias, offering to share their knowledge and magic to aid him in the impending war against the werewolves, a war that would determine the fate of the kingdom and all species. King Matthias, though initially skeptical and unsure of what to make of the wizards' proposal, was tempted by the promi
The group burst into Theo's bedroom without even knocking, their faces etched with worry and concern. Their hearts were filled with anticipation. But as they entered the room, they were met with a sight that filled their hearts with joy and relief, a sight that was like a balm to their souls, a sight that made all their worries and fears melt away. Theo and Ashton were finally awake, and they were lying in each other's arms, looking healthier and happier than they had in years, their faces radiant with joy and their eyes shining with love.Mason rushed to Theo's side and hugged him tightly, tears of joy streaming down his face and his voice shaking with emotion. His heart was overflowing with love and gratitude. "I missed you so much, Alpha," he sobbed, his words tumbling out in a rush and his voice cracking with feeling. "I was so scared of losing you, of never seeing you again, of never hearing your voice, of never feeling your touch... Alpha!!!!!!!"Theo smiled weakly and hugged
As they lay there, Theo turned his attention to Ashton, his eyes locked on his mate's face, drinking in the sight of his chiseled features, his piercing eyes, and his beautiful smile. Ashton's eyes sparkled with interest, and he nodded eagerly as Theo began to explain the process of communicating with Mason telepathically. "Yes baby, I can teach you how to link Mason if you want." Theo said, his voice low and soothing. Ashton's eyes shone with excitement, and he nodded again, his face set in pure happiness, as Theo continued to explain the process. "But first, you need to understand something," Theo said, his voice serious as he looked at his eager mate... "Even though the whole pack loves and respects you as their Luna, you still needs to complete your luna ceremony before you can have your own link to everyone in the pack." Ashton nodded, his brow furrowed in concentration, as he tried to understand the complexities of the process. "That means you can only link or talk to so
The next day, Ashton woke up with a radiant smile on his face, feeling his alpha's arms wrapped around him tightly, holding him close, and keeping him safe. His nose was pressed against Theo's scent gland, and the smell was intoxicating, making him feel lightheaded and dizzy with desire, as if he was floating on a cloud of pure bliss. Ashton thought inwardly, "Let me pretend to sleep more, so that I can feel my alpha more, so that I can savor this moment, this feeling of being loved and cherished." He wanted to hold onto this feeling forever, to bask in the warmth of Theo's love, to feel the security of his alpha's arms around him. But before he could even pretend to sleep, Theo replied to Ashton's words telepathically, his voice echoing in Ashton's mind, "You don't need to pretend, little mate. You can just sleep as much as you want, and I'll be here, holding you, loving you, and keeping you safe." Theo's words were like a warm hug, enveloping Ashton in a sense of comfort and secu
"Oh, do tell me how we can wake my wolf up quickly," Theo said to Ashton, his eyes sparkling with curiosity, as he watched Ashton's face turn an even deeper shade of pink, a color that seemed to match the flush of excitement that was rising up his own neck.Ashton blushed, his cheeks burning with embarrassment, but he looked up at Theo with a determined expression, his eyes shining with a fierce resolve that seemed to dare Theo to doubt him. "We... um... we... I think we have to mark each other," he said shyly, his voice barely above a whisper."That will strengthen our bond," Ashton continued, his words tumbling out in a rush, as if he was afraid of being interrupted, or of losing his nerve. "And I can channel some of my dragon's energy into you, which in return will help your wolf gain some strength to wake up quickly."Ashton's eyes dropped, his lashes casting a shadow on his cheeks, as he continued to explain, his voice filled with a quiet conviction that seemed to grow stronger w
Ashton lay on their bed silently, wrapped in Theo's arms, feeling the warmth of his body and the comfort of his presence, a sense of peace and tranquility that seemed to envelop them both, like a soft blanket .However, despite the serenity of the moment, Ashton could sense that something was bothering Theo, that something was weighing heavily on his mind.Ashton could feel the tension in Theo's body, the subtle stiffness in his muscles, the faint furrowing of his brow, a sense of unease that seemed to radiate from within.It was a tension that seemed to permeate every cell of his being, like a slow-moving fog that refused to lift and Ashton could feel it.He knew that Theo was worried about the missing presence of his wolf, Dark. A sense of emptiness that seemed to echo through his mind, and his entire being. He could sense the concern in Theo's mind, the fear that something was terribly wrong, like a nagging voice that refused to be silenced."Is it when you woke up that you realiz
Their kiss held all the emotions they'd been holding in for the past three damn years, a multitude of feelings that had been building up inside them like a dam waiting to burst.Ashton wrapped his legs around Theo's waist tightly, as the latter devoured his lips like a hungry beast, consuming him with a passion that was both fierce and tender.Then, Theo led them to the bed and gently laid Ashton on the bed, as they continued kissing each other without parting, their lips locked in a passionate embrace that seemed to go on forever.They broke the kiss after a while, when Ashton was out of breath, his lungs burning with a desperate need for oxygen. Theo looked into Ashton's eyes and saw that there were some changes in his eyes, a subtle shift in their color that was both fascinating and unsettling. They were golden now, a deep, burnished gold that seemed to glow with an inner light, like embers from a fire that had been burning for centuries.But before he could ask what was going on
After realizing that he could move his muscles, Theo got out of bed to use the bathroom, a pressing urgency that demanded his attention, a call to action that he couldn't ignore. He walked slowly, his legs trembling beneath him, his feet heavy with the weight of his own uncertainty, but he was determined to take care of his needs, to assert his independence, to prove to himself that he was still alive.After a few minutes of relieving himself, he came out of the bathroom, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. It was a wave of calm that soothed his frazzled nerves. As he walked back into the bedroom, he saw Ashton walking towards the door in a panic, intending to go out, aside looking for something or someone. "Hello, little dragon," Theo said, his voice low and husky, filled with emotion, a deep and abiding love that he couldn't express, a feeling that threatened to overwhelm him.Ashton heard his alpha's voice behind him, and his body trembled, his eyes instantly filling with t
FEW MINUTES AGOTheo had been in a very long sleep, trapped in a coma that seemed to stretch on forever, a never-ending expanse of darkness and silence.Most of the time, he heard everyone talking about him, their voices a constant presence in his mind, a reminder that he was not alone, that there were people who cared about him, who wanted him to wake up.He heard Ashton's pleas and cries, his mate's desperate attempts to reach him, to bring him back from the brink of death, to pull him back into the world of the living.Theo wanted to wake up, obviously, to rise up from the depths of his coma and rejoin the world of the living. He wanted to tell his mate and everyone that he could hear them, that he was still there, trapped inside his unresponsive body, a prisoner of his own flesh and blood. He wanted to tell them that he was still aware, still conscious and still alive.However, he couldn't, no matter how hard he tried. His eyes refused to open, his mouth refused to speak, and hi
