JOHN

I was certainly welcomed here. People approached me and introduced themselves, but I struggled to remember their names. My memory had always been flawless, and learning new things posed no problem for me. However, attempting to get to know more than two hundred people within a short period felt like an unattainable feat. And by meeting them, I was just getting to know a few pack members. Only those who were able to come at such short notice. They were people on safety duties, or working, or having other tasks that couldn’t just be abandoned.

Seeing me struggle, Dad intervened and informed them that I would meet them later, as I intended to stay for the summer. I needed to get to know them, as I felt the need, as an Alpha, to know all the people that I was going to lead in the future.

Well, Dad said that I had time to decide about that, but I saw that hope in his eyes. A hope that the last thing I wanted was to destroy. It was like a dream coming true for him, being able to hand in

    JOHN“Now, John, listen to me. Usually, the transformation initiates when the moon is close to its peak. It depends on the wolf and the connection he has established with its vessel — the human part, that’s you.In that first shift, Atlas and you must fully accept each other. When that happens, you will be fully merged and become one. Only then can your body take the form of a wolf. So, first, you need to work in your mind, accept who you are, and mostly accept what you are. Embrace your other side. Then you let Atlas take control of your body and mind. Your bones and muscles will start morphing until they reach the desired shape—the bones and muscles of a wolf. Your pain will keep increasing with each passing minute. It will only stop when the transformation is complete. When I’m sure that you’re merged with Atlas, I will have to command you to shift. That’s how every pup transforms. Under the Alpha command.”“Or the Beta…” I heard Beta Richard speaking from a distance. I didn’t under

    ARIADNE‘Hi, Mama.’ John’s voice came into my mind.What the hell?“Jesus Christ and his mama, David, I can hear him in my mind!” I gasped.“Really?” He said, his eyes widening.“Yes! Try it. Try it out, too,” I demanded. I saw his eyes wandering, an evident fact that he was trying to reach someone through the mind link. But nothing.“So, did you hear me?” Asked David with his eyes now turning to mine.I shook my head. It would be nice to have him in my mind for once.‘What about now?’ I heard Atlas’ voice. I saw David turning to Atlas, puzzled, and then trying to mindlink again.‘Can you hear me now?’ I heard David in my head.Holy freaking shit!I had him in my mind. ‘Haha!’ I inwardly chuckled. Why did I like it so much?There were hundreds of times in the past when we were together that I wished to hear him in my mind and look at us now. Just five minutes that my son had turned into his wolf, and he made it a reality.“How did you do that?” I asked Atlas.‘I just added Dad to our c

    ARIADNE‘Nah, huh. I can’t carry you now.’ He deadpanned.‘What?’ I gasped.‘You are heavy. I can’t.” I heard John say, and I understood that he went beyond his limits to carry me.‘Ok… I’ll walk.’ I announced and started walking. Zeus came next to me and nudged me with his snout.“David, please. That isn’t right.” I whispered, but I knew that John could hear us.‘Please. We are far away. It’ll take you all night walking to reach the packhouse.’I exhaled deeply, contemplating what I should do. I knew he was correct. We had gone a long distance, and even if I sprinted back, which I doubted I would be able to do because I hadn't run in years, I would end up walking for the entire night. My son was adamant in pulling me here and now fatigued, so I had no alternative but to run back with Zeus.“If I return with you, I just don’t want you to take it the wrong way. It still means nothing.” I whispered lower this time.‘I’m not assuming anything,’ he muttered before crouching down on all fou

    DAVIDWe had returned to the packhouse. It was almost midnight. John was yawning. He might have lasted longer than ordinary wolves in their first shift, but now the first signs of fatigue were evident in his posture.“You should take a hot bath to help your muscles relax and sleep. Ok?” I guided them back to our apartment, as he had chosen for them to stay there. I wasn’t expecting Ariadne to be okay with that, and of course, I wasn’t going to do anything to push her boundaries, disrespect her, or make her feel any kind of inconvenience. “Ok, Dad, thank you. Good night, Ma, goodnight, Dad.” John waved at us and disappeared into his room. Ariadne had renovated it back when she lived here with me. It was going to be the nursery for our pup that was never coming, no matter how much we both wanted it to come.But look at us now. We indeed had a pup! Ariadne was back. Even for just a few days and not for the reasons I wanted her to be, but she was, and I’d take whatever she wanted to give

    ARIADNE“Ahh, it’s so good to see you after all these years!” Marion beamed while getting out of their car and came to me, falling into my arms and hugging me tightly.“I’m happy to see you, too.” I smiled back, tapping her back.She retreated from my embrace and stepped back, glancing at Augustin, who was approaching us. He was looking at her with disapproval, wrinkling his nose, and when he reached us, he extended his arm for a handshake.“Ariadne.” He said my name as if I were the most disgusting being in the world.Μαλάκα! [Asshole!]“Augustin.” I offered casting one of my fake polite smiles at him.“It’s Alpha Augustin.” He turned.“Your rules don’t apply to me, Augustin!” I replied, rolling my eyes, and I felt David shifting next to me, shaking his head.“Same old Augustin!” He tried to lighten the mood while Marion gulped down audibly, obviously embarrassed by her mate’s behavior.Luna Marion was my best friend when I was a Luna.

    DAVIDThe day has passed in a blur. Alpha Augustin and his family came a little after midday. We talked about our new business deal, signed the contracts, and ate lunch all together.Augustin, as always, was a prick at Ariadne. He resented the humans.In the past, when we were still a couple, he tolerated Ariadne because of her strong friendship with Marion. Ariadne was always putting him in his place, discreetly. She had her ways. And as the years passed, I believe that his hatred for her grew. He envied her and the hierarchy system she had created. As expected, the elders in his pack urged him to adopt her system, which only fueled his growing hatred for her as his pack thrived because of it.In front of me, he never dare utter something low about her. He knew that the moment he would, all our ties would be cut. I’d once berated him and threatened to end all our alliances, both in our business and between our packs. But he hasn’t seen her since. Until this morning, and he still acted

    DAVID“Then the second time it was in the middle of the summer, a few months after the first incident. The heatwave was so intense that even the air conditioning didn’t help. Theo was at work, the boys were at a summer camp while Annelise and John were home. After eating lunch all together, John just sighed. ‘I’d give anything for an ice cream right now.’ As if on cue, I saw Annelise standing up and going to the refrigerator. When she saw we didn’t have any ice cream in the freezer, she went to her room, and I followed her. John was just sitting and watching TV. I saw Annelise taking money from her piggy bank and changing her clothes. I wanted to know what she was up to, so I decided to ask her. ‘I’m changing my clothes to go buy my brother an ice cream, mama.’ She innocently replied. Annelise was eleven at that time and still struggled with her trauma.”Her daughter had trauma? “Annelise was afraid to go out on her own, even at the kiosk in the corner of our street. I knew that John

    DAVID“Was he an easy kid, growing up?” I asked her.“John? Oh, yes. I can’t complain. He was always obedient and understanding. When you have older children, the younger one kinda grows on his own. On auto! Annelise had him as her doll. She was helping me feed him, change his diaper, and was showing him how to do stuff. He was a fast learner, always mimicking others as small children do. Actually, he never struggled with anything. Everything seemed easy for him. He acquired skills easily and learned everything really fast. I once thought that he might be a genius, and I was tempted to search for it further, but I shrugged it off because, you know, he had werewolf genes. I knew his genes weren’t the case because I’d seen Ian growing up closely, and it didn’t even resemble John’s behavior in the slightest. John was more… More in so many ways. I can’t even explain. He was always one or even more steps ahead of the children his age. Always more mature for his age. He could somehow discern

    CHAPTER 2 - She Finally Found MeIAN‘Hey, you there?’ John, my soon-to-be Alpha mind links.I’m just fixing my hair in front of the mirror, threading the comb through my black locks, trying to tame them into place. I like to have the sides of my hair short, but I prefer to keep the center slightly longer and style it upwards with gel or wax.‘Yup.’ I reply, popping the p. I’m in a very good mood today. And why not? Today is the transition of the Alphas in our pack. My now-Alpha David Nathaniel Fortner is passing the torch to his son, John Patrick. A son whose existence was ignorant for fifteen whole years. Back then, before John’s mother and Alpha David’s ex-mate Luna Ariadne decided to bring him to our pack, Alpha David intended to have me as his heir, not only as Alpha to the Golden Moon Pack but to his entire fortune.But luck was in my favor, I guess, because out of nowhere, when I was struggling and ready to drop out of the Alpha training, the rightful heir showed up, and to say

    CHAPTER 1 - Watch MeANNELISE“For the third time, Tony. I’m asking you.” I try to keep my voice steady and firm. “Where were you last night?”“Annelise, I’ve told you already. I had to work overtime.”“In that member of the parliament? As security?” I taunt.“Exactly. I’ve told you a thousand times.” Tony whines.“Yes, but I don’t believe you,” I utter, and I have solid proofs in my hands.“You should.” He glances once again in his sports bag to see if he has all his gear inside.“I called the police station, you know…” I trail, and his head snaps in my direction, his eyes throwing daggers at me. “Your colleague told me that you left when your shift ended, dressed in plain clothes, not in your uniform.” I quip. Well, to be exact, I asked what he was wearing, pretending we had a date, and I didn’t want to miss our reservation at a restaurant.“How dare you?” He fumes, prowling at me menacingly. He grabs my chin, turning me to look into his eyes. “How dare you, Annelise? Calling at my j

    JOHNSIX MONTHS LATERI jump up from bed, super excited. Today is the day! It’s finally her birthday! All the waiting, all these days. Oh God, it’s in the past. I don’t have to wait anymore.I’ll call her. Wish her ‘Happiest Birthday.’ Ask her out. Go pick her up for our date. Smell her. Make sure she is my mate. I hope. Fingers crossed. Bring her back home, and we live happily ever after. That easy! But of course, fate always has different plans and if you want to make God laugh, just tell him your plans. Mama’s wise words.I wish it was that easy.I glance at my phone. Argh, it’s still six o’clock in the morning. Damnit!It’s too early to call her, right? I don’t want to wake her up or freak her out. She’d be like: ‘Ehm, what were you doing? Watching me in your sleep?’Well, head-scratching. Obviously… For every night those past six months. There wasn’t a single night I hadn’t dreamed of her, and I don’t plan to spend another night with my bed empty and her not by my side.I waited.

    JOHNI waved off Mama, Annelise, and Ian with a heavy heart. For the freshly mated couple, I was certain that everything would run smoothly and soon my sister would return as the Beta Female of the Pack.Hmmm, maybe I should buy her a saddle for Herc now that I’m thinking about it. Yes, as a welcoming gift.But my Mama? What happened to her? She was crying, and she was upset. And she lied, yeah, like… right on my face. Mama would always evade the truth with diplomacy instead of lying. But now she didn’t even register that she just uttered a lie because the next moment she came up with another. I didn’t pressure her. I didn’t tell her that I knew she was lying. I just let her go. It seemed that things were already awkward; I shouldn’t meddle in and make them worse.I sighed. I knew that soon we would have to see our guests off, but honestly, now this was the last thought that occupied my mind.First and foremost was Gabriella. Always Gabriella. My dreams yesterday were full of her, twir

Wasn’t it enough that I still loved him despite everything that had happened between us? Do you know how hard it was to love someone you cannot have? And worst of all, for so many years?How hard was I trying to avoid him when I was here? How hard was I trying to keep him out of my mind? Out of sight, out of mind, they say. My ass!All these years of trying in vain. I still loved him. Every particle of my body was reacting to his presence, and even though I could wear the mask of indifference, I could no longer hold it. This song broke all my resolve. Every brick I built, raising walls to keep my love for him out of the picture, it just crumbled them down, and my heart prevailed.But unfortunately, I couldn’t keep him out of my head. No more. No matter how hard I tried. Twenty-two years didn’t help heal my broken heart. It would

    DAVIDThe meeting last night went well. I was confident, and I had faith that Ian would make it through it all unharmed.Before eating breakfast, John and I went to the warrior’s dining room in the packhouse. Because a few guests had already begun their breakfast, it was essential for us to make our presence felt like hospitable hosts. When all the pleasantries ended, we went to the other dining room where we used to eat.I sat in my seat, glancing at Ariadne, who was sitting silently, picking her food. John and Annelise were bantering, and Ian was drooling over her.I didn’t want to speak in case I told something and provoked or annoyed Annelise, so I kept silent. I should think of a way to approach her when she finally comes and claims her post as a Beta Female of this pack. Jessica, Ian’s stepmother, never wanted to take on these duties. She was from the Delta ranks as a doctor, and her career always came before the pack. When my Beta Richard found her, he was ecstatic. He was thril

    ALPHA AUGUSTINFinally, we were out of The Golden Moon territory and away from the fiasco they all called Alpha Ceremony.Honestly now?My mind couldn’t conjure how my best friend, my Alpha-Mate, decided to hand in the pack to an abomination of nature.I hated the fact that he was mated to a human. I tried to speak sense into him a million times and make him understand that he shouldn’t degrade his bloodline by accepting a mere human for a mate. But he never listened. He didn’t even want to hear my arguments from some point on. He always stopped me before I could even start talking.I was so relieved when she dumped him and left him. Hoping for a second chance mate for him. A strong Alpha female. That was what David was worthy of.I was mated to a special Alpha female, and he? He was mated to a Nothing. A mere little human!I hated Ariadne with all my being. I argued so many times with Marion about her. Something that made me loathe her even more.But her leaving back then was the best

    JOHNI was less than a minute out of the office when I bumped into Agatha. Ian was already heading out for his run, so I was alone.“Oh, just the person I needed. Alpha John…” She waved at me, approaching. Alpha Cornelious was standing by the door just outside Dad’s office.“Mrs. Agatha.” I started and was interrupted by a loud cackle. I swear her laughter was aimed to awaken all our guests! My intention was solely to be polite at that moment.“It’s Agatha.” She instructed when she finally managed to compose herself. “So, I needed your help, because I don’t want to freak out the poor people…”“Just tell me why Annelise isn’t coming to her senses?” Ian snapped, interrupting her, walking toward us in long strides. He might have heard her and returned.“Oh! Just kiss her good morning, Beta Ian. Easy peasy! A true love’s kiss has the power to solve almost anything. A mate’s kiss is even better!” She marveled.Ok! She was a witch. Witches and fairytales go hand in hand, no?“Are you sure? I
