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.
That night, as the pack settled in for the evening, Elijah sat by the fire, his eyes fixed on the flames. Ashton sat beside him, feeling grateful for the dragon's help. Indeed, Elijah had been a great help to him for the past one month. Theo watched them from across the room, his eyes narrowed in concern. Mason was in his room with Ricky, talking about only the goddess know what. Michael wasn't also around and Kelvin was in a duty, patrolling around the pack border. As the night wore on, Elijah began to tell stories of his past, of the Dragon Kingdom and its secrets to Ashton. Ashton listened with wide eyes, fascinated by the tales of magic and adventure. It seemed Elijah had experienced the hood old days of the Dragon Kingdom before the mad king took over. Theo listened too, his ears perked up for any sign of deception. He just didn't trust Elijah completely and that was it! Period! "I say, cut the guy sme slacks, alright. You are being over paranoid. We have to admit that
It been weeks since Theo decided to believe Elijah and though their friendship aren’t that great, Theo had indeed lowered his guard around Elijah. His relationship with Ashton had been growing as thankfully, Ashton's legs had fully healed.Now, in few months, he would turned eighteen and would be able to hear his dragon and even have his first shift.Everyday had been peaceful and lovely in the Shadow Moon Pack until today.Theo's office was filled with tension as he gathered his top advisors: Michael, Kelvin, and Mason. The morning sun cast a golden glow through the windows, but the atmosphere was far from warm."What's going on? Tell them what you just told me.” Theo asked, his voice firm but controlled.The warrior, whose name was Ryder, took a deep breath though he looked a bit a panicked. "We had a sighting at the border," he began. "One of our warriors saw movement, like someone or more likely, some people were approaching our territory. We thought it was best to go and check t
Anakin's footsteps echoed through his room as he paced back and forth, his mind consumed by the gruesome murders that had shaken the pack. The images of the victims lingered in his mind, haunting him. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong.As he paced, his thoughts swirled in confusion. Who could be behind such atrocities? And why were they targeting his friends and family? The uncertainty hung over the pack like a dark cloud, casting a pall of fear over everyone.Anakin's eyes wandered to the window, staring out into the night. The pack was usually a place of tranquility, but now it seemed like a breeding ground for fear and suspicion. He just hoped that someone would figure out what was happening soon.But as he stood there, a nagging thought crept into his mind. As much as he hated to admit, everything seemed to have started when he returned to the pack with Divine. Anakin's heart skipped a beat as he pushed the thought away. No, he couldn't possibly th
A few days had passed since Anakin brought Divine to the pack, and an eerie feeling had settled over the members. At first, it was just whispers and unease, but soon, the pack was plagued by a series of strange occurrences that no one could ignore. The once vibrant and lively atmosphere was now filled with the of tension and fear. Members who used to gather in the common areas now hesitated to venture out alone, and the usual laughter and chatter had been replaced by hushed conversations and nervous glances over shoulders. The pack's usual tranquility had vanished, and an unsettling sense of unease hung over everything. Theo, as the alpha, had been trying to reassure the members that everything would be okay, but even he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. He had been noticing strange noises at night, and some members had reported seeing shadowy figures lurking around the pack's border. The sense of unease was palpable, and it seemed to grow thicker with
Despite Anakin's reservations about sudden change in Divine, he still decided to take him to his pack.After all, he as still his mate and he loves him. On their way, Anakin tried to tell Divine about the werewolves and the dragon world, but Divine's reactions were unsettling. He didn't show any sign of shock or fear, just a smile and nods of agreement to everything he said. Anakin's skepticism grew with each passing moment. Something was definitely off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.The drive to the pack had been filled with Anakin's attempts to gauge Divine's reaction to the supernatural world he was about to enter. But Divine's responses were always measured, always cold, and always with a hint of mystery. Anakin's instincts were screaming at him to be cautious, to watch Divine's every move. But he pushed those thoughts aside, determined to give Divine a chance.As they arrived at the pack, Anakin felt a sense of pride and belonging. This was his home, his sanct
Amidst all thabwas going on, Divine approached Anakin one night and asked..."Hey Anak, uhm... so... if you are that worry about me, why don't you take me to your family's place? I'm sure I will be fine there. Truthfully, I know something is wrong with me but I don't what." Divine said and for a moment, he sounded so much like his old self. Anakin was hesitant at first, but Divine seemed insistent, and even with bitterly to convinced him.Anakin decided to take a chance and agreed to take Divine to the pack.He agreed to take Divine to his pack to meet his family, but little did Divine know that Anakin had an ulterior motive. Je was indeed happy. Anakin then suddenly said, "I want to tell you something, come out with me for a moment." Divine followed Anakin to a nearby bush, curiosity etched on his face.Anakin's decision to reveal his secret to Divine was not taken lightly. He had been thinking about it for a while, and he felt that Divine was someone he could trust as his mate, t
Few days later, Anakin was home alone when the doorbell rang. He immediately went to open it and to his shocked, Divine stood in front of him with unreadable expression. Anakin was shocked to process what he was seeing but when he came back to his senses, he immediately enguled Divine in a tight hug, his eyes almost brimming with tears.Only the moon goddess and dragon lord knew how happy and relieved he felt."Divine, where in the world have you been?" He asked, still hugging him and not wanting to let him go.Divine just flashed a smile at him and went back inside with him without saying a word.His actions made Anakin frowned in confusion. What's going on? Divine looked.... strange... in some way.**********Few days passed since Divine's return, and Anakin was still trying to wrap his head around the sudden change in his mate. He couldn't understand why Divine seemed so different, so distant. It wasn't like him, and Anakin couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.Ana
As Anakin drove back into the human world, his heart was racing with excitement. He couldn't wait to see his mate, Divine, and share all the had experiences he had in search of Ember over the past two weeks. The drive to their house seemed to take forever, but finally, he arrived at his destination.The anticipation had been building up inside him for what felt like an eternity. He envisioned the two of them sitting on the couch, laughing and reminiscing about their time of being away from each other. As he pulled up to the house, Anakin's excitement only grew. He grabbed his bags and rushed to the front door, bursting through it with a huge smile on his face. "Divine!" he called out, expecting his mate to be right there, waiting for him.But as he entered the house, he was met with an eerie silence. The rooms were empty, and there was no sign of Divine anywhere. Anakin's excitement began to fade, replaced by a growing sense of unease. Where was Divine? It was a weekend, and there
Two weeks had passed since Anakin's arrival at the parlck, and his determination to find his missing sister had only grown stronger. Every corner of the pack had been scoured, every nook and cranny explored, but there was no sign of her. It was as if she had vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a trail of unanswered questions. Every day, he would venture out into the forest with his two friends. They would search and search but would always return empty handed. Anakin's thoughts were consumed by his sister's disappearance. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly might be wrong with his sister's now, and such thought always made him mad. He had always been protective of her, and now he felt guilty for not being able to find her. He wondered if he was doing enough, if there was something he was missing. Would things had been different if he didn't leave the pack? Elijah, his grandfather, had mobilized the dragons to search for his missing girl. There was a
As Anakin sat there, frozen in indecision, he felt like he was being pulled in two different directions. His heart was telling him to go to his sister's aid, but his mind was warning him to prioritize his mate's safety. The conflict was tearing him apart, making it hard for him to think clearly. In the midst of this emotional turmoil, Anakin knew he needed to make a decision. He couldn't stay stuck in this state of indecision forever. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing thoughts and focus on the present moment. But the weight of his emotions was crushing him, making it hard for him to think clearly. He could just take Divine wth him. But he hasn't even come clean with him about his real identity as a werewolf. He feared how Divine would react to such revelation. He sat up and his eyes locked on Divine's. He could see the understanding and concern in his mate's gaze, and it filled him with a mix of emotions. He felt a pang of guilt for leaving Divine behind, but he kne
Three months had passed since Anakin had been living in the human world with Divine. Divine's life on the other hand transformed in ways he never thought possible. Theo, Ashton and the twins with the rest would visit them occasionally, and Divine cherished these moments, feeling grateful for the love and support he was receiving t heal from his past. Campus life had also taken a dramatic turn. No one dared to bully Divine anymore, knowing that he had the protection of Anakin, Brandon, and Dustin - the three Greek gods, who wouldn't hesitate to defend their friend. Divine felt freedom, walking through the halls with a newfound sense of confidence and carefree. But the most significant change in Divine's life was his relationship with Anakin. What had started as a beautiful friendship had blossomed into something more profound and romantic. Divine had never felt this way about anyone before, and he was grateful to have Anakin by his side. As for his brother, Divine didn't ques
