The Spark In His Eyes Is Gone

It felt like an eternity for both Theo and Michael on the back of the dragon flying in the sky.

Theo had fallen asleep in Michael's embrace after crying his eyes out.

  They soon came into a certain place that seemed like a pack with a thick fence around it.

The dragon queen landed on the ground and shifted back to her human form after Michael woke up Theo up and clomws down off get back.

“Come, let's go inside.” The Dragon Queen said when she saw how both Michael and Theo were surprised, looking at the fence.

“Wow… What the fuck is this place?” Michael couldn't help but asked as his eyes started roaming around everywhere.

“This is a place that I built just to protect the werewolves. I just feel bad at how my King, who is unfortunately my husband is treating and killing other species.

So, I built this place to help and protect any pack members who lose their homes because of my husband. Don't worry, he can't find this place.” The Dragon Queen explained as she showed them around after entering the gate.

There were many werewolves and other species inside the fence. It actually looked like a complete pack house.

Children playing around, elders talking to each other, women cooking, men training, etc.

In fact, a lot of activities were going on. It felt like they had no problems to worry about inside this fence.

Soon, they saw different dragons coming in with people on their backs.

“GRANNY!!!” Theo cried out and run to the old omega who used to cook for them the moment she entered the building.

“Oh my boy, oh my child… Thank you, the moon goddess. Oh, thank you so much, goddess, for keeping our Alpha safe.” The old woman cried, looking at the boy in front of her who was looking directly into her eyes as tears streamed down his cheeks.

“I'm okay, Granny!” Theo said to her after wiping his tears, but the old woman noticed that something was missing from his eyes.

No, it was no longer there. That spark, that particular spark that was always vivid in Theo's eyes, whether he smiles or not, was gone. His eyes was void of any happiness.

That spark had died with his parents. The little boy looked emotionless.

There was no expression on his face when looking at the old woman.

Of course, Michael also noticed it. He wondered what could possibly have made the little boy lose the spark in his eyes though he had a hint of the reason.

It was then that his mind went back to his pack. His Alpha and Luna, and hia brother. It was then that he realized he would never get to see them again.

For a moment, he even forgot due to their new place, but now looking at Theo, he remembered everything and his responsibilities to their little Alpha.

Everything became clearer to him. His Alpha and Luna together with his brother and warriors were all killed. The realization hit him so that he went down in his knees.

Several dragons brought some of the werewolves to what seemed to them as a camp pack.

“I'm sorry we couldn't save all of them. As you can see, we are not many, and I would rather not drag more dragons into this.” The Dragon Queen said sadly to them.

“It's okay, Dragon Queen. In fact, we are grateful you were able to save our little Alpha. That's all we need.” Granny said politely and even bowed to the dragon queen.

“----” The Dragon Queen wanted to ask her not to bow in front of her, but the shout of her people startled everyone.

“THE DRAGON KING IS ALMOST HERE!” One of the dragons shouted immediately after he shifted into his human form.

He was severely wounded, with his body bleeding everywhere.

The Dragon Queen immediately went to him. “What did you say? And how did you get this badly injured?” The was so much concern in her voice.

"I fought with Bismarck and his men. But unfortunately, they killed my companions and thought I was dead.

That was when he ran to the dragon King and informed him about our betrayal. Pl- please le-leave here as- soon as - possible, my- queen.”

The man tried and explained everything to the dragon queen before he fell dead.

The Dragon Queen and the rest of the dragons with her became tense. Things weren't going as they had thought.

They need to get out of there as soon as possible before the King finds them.

Michael and Granny also became stupefied. If the dragon king indeed finds them, they were sure he was going to burn all the werewolves and other spices in that place.

Even the rest of the people going about their day also became tense. This was their dafe haven. If the king finds it, they were all sure as dead.

“Do you have any pearl?" The Dragon Queen asked one of her people.

“Yes, my queen. We got four pearls from the battle. They purposely removed them from their body and handed them to us before they died.” A woman, who looked like the queen's right hand, answered.

“Good!” The Queen said curtly, before she turned her attention to Michael and Granny, together with Theo.

“Please don't let the others know about this. I'm afraid they will be terrified and do something silly.

And don't worry, we always make sure to cover our tracks after we leave here. So, even if the king comes here, he won't be able to find you.”

The queen said to them before her eyes landed back on Theo.

She crouched down in front of him and held his small hands in hers…

“Will you also bring my parents here? They were fighting when I saw them. Is that the reason why they are keeping long?” Theo asked the dragon queen as tears streamed down his cheeks.

Though the little boy saw his parents being killed, he was still in denial.

Everyone's eyes became watery, including the dragon queen, as Granny and Michael sniffed their tears. They had to be strong for their little Alpha.

“I'm sorry, my child. I'm so sorry to let you know that, you won't be able to see your parents again.” The Dragon Queen said softly as she also cried.

“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.
