“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
As the battle raged on, the werewolves and dragons clashed in a frenzy of teeth and claws, their roars and snarls echoing across the plain like a cacophony of chaos. The dragons, with their massive size and scales as hard as steel, seemed almost invulnerable to the werewolves' attacks, their flames and claws tearing through the air with deadly precision. But the werewolves were determined and fierce, their anger and frustration fueling their battle frenzy like a raging fire that couldn't be contained.Theo, in his wolf form, led the charge against the dragons, his jaws snapping shut just inches from their scales as he darted and weaved between their legs with lightning-fast speed. The dragons roared in anger and pain as the pack warriors joined the fray, their teeth and claws tearing at the dragons' flesh like a pack of ravenous beasts. Michael, with his massive strength, grabbed hold of a dragon's tail and swung it around, slamming the dragon into the ground with a deafening thud
Few minutes ago....Alpha Theo sat in his office, his eyes fixed intently on the screen in front of him as he waited for Elijah's face to appear on the video call, his mind racing with anticipation and concern for Ashton's well-being. It's been few months snce Ashton left and this had been Theo's favorite time all these while; Calling Elijah and asking about Ashton's well-being. He haven't spoken with Ashton evr snce he left. He and Elijah thought it was for the best and would make Ashton concentrate more on his training without any interference. The video call connection was made, and Elijah's serious expression filled the screen, his eyes somber and his face etched with worry."Alpha," Elijah said, his voice firm and not that respectful nor disrespectful, yet laced with a hint of uneasy. "How is he doing Elijah?" The skipped al pleasantries as usual and went down to business. With a deep sigh, Elijah replied... "I'm afraid it's not good news and you won't like it."Theo's eyes
The park house, once a vibrant and lively hub of activity, had become a dull and lifeless shell of its former self without the boisterous and cheerful personalities of Ashton and Ricky. The absence of their laughter and banter was palpable, and the atmosphere felt heavy with a sense of loss and desolation, like a dark cloud had descended upon the once-happy home.It shocked most of th pack members how just two souls could have such effect of hundreds of people. Alpha Theo, once a changed man, transformed by the love and devotion of Ashton, slowly began to revert back to his old self - the Demon Alpha he used to be. The kindness and compassion that Ashton had brought out in him began to fade away, replaced by a cold, calculating ruthlessness that sent shivers down the spines of his enemies and even his pack members.It was as if Ashton took away the light in theor alpha's life, and replaced it with darkness with his absence. Theo's eyes, once bright and warm, shining like two stars
Ashton hugged Theo one last time, holding him tightly as tears streamed down his face like a river of sorrow. He didn't want to leave. Aston definitely did not want to be apart from his alpha and the pack that had become his family. The thought of being separated from Theo, not being able to feel his warm embrace and loving touch, was almost too much to bear.Ricky also hugged Mason goodbye. His own eyes welling up with tears as he said his final farewell. "I will be back soon." He whispered to Mason, who nodded in understanding. "I will wait for you!" He whispered back.Elijah also said his goodbye to Theo, Michael, Mason and Kelvin before entering the car.They haven't known each other for long. But they've exhibit some comrade between themselves. Ashton and Ricky got into the car reluctantly while sobbing. The sound of their cries echoed through the air, a heartbreaking melody that seemed to capture the essence of their sorrow.The whole pack waved at the moving car, their own
Ashton lay in Theo's arms, feeling the warmth of his alpha's embrace and listening to the steady beat of his heart. It felt so amazing. He didn't want to leave, didn't want to break the spell of their love and face his impending departure and the uncertainty of the future. The thought of being apart from Theo, of not knowing when he would see or feel his alpha's warm embrace again, was almost too much to bear.It felt like thousands of knives cut through his heart whenever he thinks of it. As the sun began to rise, casting a golden glow over the pack's gathering place, Ashton knew that he couldn't delay their departure any longer. Elijah and Ricky might already be waiting for him.He slowly pulled himself from Theo's arms with much reluctance, feeling a pang of sadness and loss as they broke apart. Theo's eyes, usually bright and full of life, looked dull and sad, filled with a deep longing that mirrored Ashton's own emotions.None of them was ready to let each other go. But they
Ricky walked into the shared room after biding goodnight to Ashton. His eyes scanned the room until they landed on Mason, who was sitting on the bed, waiting for him.Mason gave Ricky a sad smile, his eyes filled with a deep understanding of the emotions that Ricky was struggling with. Indeed, he already knew what would happen since Ashton was leaving. The air was thick with tension, heavy with the weight of unspoken words and unresolved emotions.The two of them have been sharing the same room for months now and they have grown mutual understanding and feelings towards each other.Though Ricky was only 15 years old, however, the hardships of the life he had gone through made him more mature than his age.Nevertheless, despite his feelings for Ricky, Mason never worked on it because Ricky was still underage according to his conscience. He was hoping and waiting for th day Ricky turns eighteen before he would confess it to him. Moreover, he didn't know if Ricky was actually his mate
Alpha Theo and Ashton stood before each other, their eyes locked in a loving gaze that seemed to transcend time and space after the broke their kiss. Ther breath was heavy as the looked at each other with a wanting gaze.They both knew that this night was special, a night that would be etched in their memories forever, a night that would change the course of their lives.This may be the last night the would spend in a long time. So why not make it more memorable?It was going to be their first time, and they were determined to make it a night filled with love, emotions, and passion that would leave them both breathless and yearning for more.Theo's eyes softened as he looked at Ashton, his heart filled with love and adoration for the young man. He knew that Ashton had been through a lot, that he had suffered at the hands of those Alpha Nicholas and those assholes.Dark growled in mind when remembered Nicholas. If he can, he would wake him up from the death and kill him all over agai
Ashton couldn't help himself. He can't continue looking at the alpha. He deliberately ignored Theo, his eyes becoming more moist and brimming with unshed tears as he vividly remembered the alpha's harsh and hurtful words from that morning, which had cut him to the core and left him feeling vulnerable and exposed.Regardless of what... the alpha still wants him away, and that hurt like nothing. He tried to walk away, to escape the pain and the hurt that Theo's words had inflicted, but his feet felt heavy, as if rooted to the spot, unable to move or escape the emotional turmoil that was swirling inside him."I--" he trued to speak but nothing cake out of his throat. Not wanting to be in his presence anymore, he decided to walk away to the bathroom. He will be safe there.Theo, sensing Ashton's distress and emotional anguish, immediately stood up and wrapped his arms around him from behind, holding him close and tight, as if trying to shield him from the pain and the hurt that he had
Ashton trudged through the front door of the pack house, his feet heavy with the weight of his emotions.His heart was burden by the crushing sadness that had settled within him some morning. He had spent the entire day with his two best friends, Ricky and Sasha, who had tried to console him and lift his spirits, but despite their best efforts, Ashton couldn't shake off the feeling of desolation and loss that had taken up residence in his heart.How could he be happy when he had been banished by the person he loves and the person who made him alive again?Ricky, ever the loyal and devoted friend, had vowed to accompany Ashton on his journey, to stand by his side and face whatever lay ahead. After all, it was the two of them from the beginning. How could he let his brother Ash leave him behind?And the thought of Elijah going with them as well made it a bit better for Ashton. At least with the presence of these two comforted and reminded Ashton that he was not alone. Though Ashton ha
