JOHN “You … you gave him my parents’ names?” He asked my mother in astonishment tilting his head in her direction. Mama just shrugged her shoulders. “It just felt the right thing to do. Your mother was like a mother to me while I was here. Her name wasn’t so used in our country, so I gave him your father’s name, too.” Mama said. “Well, in Greece, we call him Yianni, but he was baptized as Ioannis. I used to call him Johnie as a child, now I call him John.” She elaborated following us in the office. “What name do you prefer, son?” He asked me, sitting next to me on the couch. “John is fine, Dad.” The word dad just slipped out of my mouth, but it felt so natural. “Did you just call me dad?” He asked me with his eyes widening in surprise. I nodded. Shouldn’t I? “Thank you.” He hugged me again. “And thank you, too, lo… Ariadne. This… Today… This was an unexpected gift. Never in my wildest imagination could I think of having a son. And you … you to be back. My prayers were heard. Thi

ARIADNEI was hovering in front of his door, bringing all the courage in me to knock on it and face him after so many years. I was afraid of what I’d encounter inside. Maybe he was with his new Luna…Beta Richard would inform me if that was the case, wouldn’t he?I raised my hand, fisting my fingers, ready to tap the door, when it suddenly burst open.And there he was…Standing right in front of me. Real in the flesh and charming, as always. His deep blue ocean eyes bore into mine, piercing right into my soul. It reminded me so much of our first encounter. Back then, when I felt that click, the moment our eyes locked for the first time. His bright smile illuminated my day.He wasn’t smiling now. His face was full of surprise and disbelief. His eyes blinked and he rubbed them with his hand as if he was looking at a vision in front of him.But I wasn’t either a vision or a hallucination, and he wasn’t a figure in my dreams seeing him while I was asleep. I was right before him, staring in

(This chapter takes us back in time when David’s mother was still alive)LUNA PATRICIA The first time it happened, we were sitting in his office, discussing the new presentation of Ariadne’s hierarchy system, which would take place in Europe. The American Packs embraced the System, and we made it our mission to promote it worldwide in honor of our Luna.“How many copies of the manual should I take with me?” I asked my son, only to raise my gaze and see him breathing hard.“David, are you okay?” He didn’t answer back. He was just clutching at his stomach and kept taking deep breaths. The pain lasted almost half a minute. Then it stopped.“I had weird aches all day, but this one was worse.” He admitted, relieved that the pain was gone. Only to come again after a while. Then it stopped again. After a while, I suggested bringing the doctor over.“No, I’m fine.” He could mask it now, but I wasn’t missing the change in his breathing and his tight fists every time it happened.It carried on

DAVIDMom had described family ties’ activation as a reaction of our body’s blood recognizing its particles in someone else. In my younger years, all kinds of bonds were a topic of discussion with her. As for our family tie, she admitted that she couldn’t explain it well since she only experienced it once, and the overwhelming joy of giving birth to me overshadowed the bonding experience. Dad couldn’t form words to help me either, as he was so emotional, so he just shared his memory.Wolves had the ability to share memories. Memories, even from their childhood.But right at this moment, staring into this boy’s eyes and feeling our family tie solidify was beyond imagination. I had ruled out all possibilities of being a father, and it felt like I was experiencing something out of this world.It reminded me of my bond with Ariadne when it snapped into place.The time stopped, and everything was drawing me to her. A plethora of emotions were swarming into me at that moment. Love, adoration

JOHNMom was sad when she found out about my grandmother’s death. She apologized to me, but I already knew. Mr. Richard’s tour on the Alpha floor a while ago had given me the hint, and my assumptions were proven right with Dad’s words that she had passed away.However, I felt relieved that I met her at least once.‘After we shift, I can show you our memory.’ Atlas surprised me.‘How?’ I was confused now.‘It’s a wolf trait. All your memories are etched into your brain. Growing up, you forget them. But that doesn’t mean that they are erased. I can search for them and bring them back, showing them to you as if you relive them. I could do that now, but it’ll be the first time, and it’d take much of my energy. Dad said he would help us shift tonight, so I must be strong.’‘Ok. I can wait. What were you discussing with Dad’s wolf?’‘Oh, this and that. He’s happy to have a son to pass the pack to. Dad’s wolf, Zeus, didn’t want to give the pack to Herc, Ian’s wolf.’‘Ian? I’ve heard that name

ARIADNE~My dearest Ariadne.Everybody mourned in this pack when you left. Every pack member, especially the children, missed their Luna. I missed my daughter, and my son missed his mate.I took your side when you left; I blamed my son for what he did to you, but with the help of the pack, I came to understand that it was something that couldn’t have been avoided. Although David’s actions were completely absurd and criminal, punishable by law, I managed to see reason in them. David came clear in front of the pack and told them the truth. Just how it happened. The pack accepted his actions and supported their Alpha even when he wanted to give up his title. I forgave him too for his actions. For hurting you in the process. I hope you have forgiven him as well.The reason for doing so? The new life you created. My dear little boy, John Patrick.Thank you for bringing him into this world. You could have gotten rid of him. But you didn’t!Thank you for giving him both my mate’s and my name

DAVID“There is no way I go back to the Alpha training now. I told you a thousand times. That wasn’t for me. You have an heir now. My wolf has already submitted to his. I’ll stand by him as his Beta. That was my birthright from the beginning. That’s what I’ve always wanted. Suppose he accepts me, of course. And I can challenge each wolf in this pack if I need to prove my worth to be his Beta!” Ian declared seething.‘Ian, relax. John… He just came here. At the moment, I’m unable to convince him to make such a decision, to take over the pack. I don’t even know if he is going to stay for good.’ I sent it through the mind link. He looked me in the eye and sighed.I understood where Ian’s anxiousness was coming from. From the beginning, he didn’t like to be among the other Alphas. ‘I feel like I am out of place’, were his words on his first visit home. Nevertheless, he decided to return. He told me that everyone treated him as inferior, and he had to fight hard to maintain his good grades

DAVIDWe sat for a little while with Ariadne, talking about our lives.According to her, they were now living in Athens instead of the island where I had met her. She told me about her job enthusiastically. She loved it and was finding a purpose in making people happy and creating memories.Same old Ariadne.“Where is Gamma Nathan?”“My Gamma has left. He went to his mate’s pack.”“Oh, how come? Gammas usually stay in their packs.” She asked, intrigued.“His mate is a Beta,” I replied.“Really now?”“Uh-huh.”“I’ve never seen a female as a Beta…” She trailed, and I chuckled.“Who said his mate is a female?” She froze in the spot, her eyes blinking in disbelief with her mouth agape.“Really now?” She giggled. “I didn’t know your Gamma was swinging both ways!” She chirped, shaking her head.“Well, no one knew. But the moment he found him; the reason he didn’t want to join the sniffing trips was finally revealed.”“But he was so devastated when the girls stopped offering their services,”

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
The Alpha Who Stole My Life BOOK 3. MY ALPHA'S SISTER
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
The Alpha Who Stole My Life BONUS CHAPTER
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.
The Alpha Who Stole My Life CHAPTER 76 – Hope
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
The Alpha Who Stole My Life CHAPTER 75 – Fight For Her
ARIADNE«Μαμά; Είσαι καλά; » [“Mama? Are you alright?”]“Mama?”“Mama?”Why did he have to do this to me? Why didn’t he let me go without torturing me anymore? 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
The Alpha Who Stole My Life CHAPTER 74 – A Song to Show My Feelings for You
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
The Alpha Who Stole My Life CHAPTER 73 – Not a Chance
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
The Alpha Who Stole My Life CHAPTER 72 – Sorry is Not Enough
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
