JONATHAN

“Jonathan?” She exclaimed, startled.

“Good afternoon, Mrs. Fortner.” I greeted.

“Why are you here?” She asked me, intrigued.

What should I explain to you now?

~~~

I’m Jonathan Knight. Age? Let’s just say I’m still young. I’m a business partner to Mr. David Nathaniel Fortner. It’s been more than ten years since I started working under his wing. I kinda inherited my father’s position after he decided to retire.

I’m, in fact, running all of Mr. Fortner’s companies. Making deals, grabbing opportunities, dealing with the staff, and many, many other things just to make this entire business prosper. David, in the end, just has to determine and make the final decisions. Not that he was slacking. He was working his fingers to the bone, but all the companies combined were too much for a single person to handle. Throw in the equation, his pack, and all the other stuff he had to deal with. I don’t know how he could manage all this. What’s more, David is an exceptional boss. Pays we

    ARIA When the helicopter landed and shut off its engines, Nathan ran towards it. The door opened, and a man disembarked and started speaking with him. I looked closely. He seemed familiar. After a while, it dawned on me that this guy was Alpha Augustin’s Gamma. David’s call, yesterday rushed into my mind. So, something big was happening. I tried to see through the helicopter’s glass to spot Marion, but they were tinted. I saw Nathan start running towards the packhouse, and I returned to my room to get dressed. It seems that I had to make another trip; not the one to Greece Ι planned to. Nathan came after a while, urging me to get ready as fast as possible, and an hour later, we were on David’s private plane heading to Italy. Marion was sobbing throughout the flight. I tried to console her or make her speak and tell me what the matter was, but she was eyeing the Gammas and the warriors, and I understood that she didn’t want to talk in front of them. We reached Italy and went to a

    ARIA “I will help you.” She mumbled. Her blank gaze was straight into my face, and then she fell back on the bed. I was shocked. I could shit myself from the fear I just felt. What was that? Should I wake her up? Perhaps call a doctor to check on her? Ask her Gamma? He was here with us. He should know. But before I could react, and while contemplating what to do, she started stirring. She opened her eyes and took in my panicked face. “Oh, my Goddess! Augustin… Something happened, isn’t it?” She asked, concerned. I shook my head, biting my bottom lip. “No. No one contacted us. But you… Are you alright?” “Yeah, I’m totally fine.” She blurted. I stared into her eyes, which were normal again. My panicked expression hasn’t vanished yet. “I startled you, didn’t I?” She whispered. “You scared the living daylights out of me!” I confessed. “I’m sorry. I can’t control it.” She murmured. “Marion, what was that? Should I call a doctor? Are you ok?” “No, no. Not a doctor, please. I’m

    DAVID “Hey, what’s up?” “Where the fuck have you been? I’ve been calling you for hours.” Augustin’s anxious voice came. “Training the newbies.” I joked as I was at the Mexican Pack as an instructor for the Alpha trainees. I left my mobile phone in my room in Rodrigo’s packhouse, and as soon as I came back, I wanted to call Aria, but I saw all those missed calls from Augustin and called him instead; based on the number of calls that must be urgent. “Cut the crap. I need you, here asap.” He demanded. “Hey, hey there. What the hell happened?” “My pack has been scouted. My patrols have spotted trackers of another pack very close to my borders. I need your tracking abilities and some of your best scouts. And I need them fast.” “Have you identified the threat?” I asked. “No, but I have an inkling who that might be…” “Who?” “Someone, I wish he had never found us.” He sighed. “Ok, Augustin. If you want me to help, you must stop talking in riddles. Who the hell wants to attack your p

    DAVID I kept fighting with her guardians till I knocked them down. It was easier to kill them, but doing so would be a reason for war. Opposite to the reason I was here for. “Are you ok?” I asked the Luna. She was trembling, sitting down, hugging herself, and silently crying. Her fear was evident, not only from her posture but hanging in the air, too. “Hey, don’t worry. I won’t harm you.” I told her treading slowly towards her. “I don’t know what’s gotten into them. They were assigned to protect me.” She whined, shaking her head in disbelief The truth is that while fighting, I saw the eyes of one of them, and he seemed as if he was possessed. “Come on, let me take you back to your camp.” I offered my hand to help her stand up. “Who are you?” She asked me while standing up. “I’m Alpha David Fortner,” I replied. “He’s the perfect culprit for your death!” Hissed a feminine voice behind me, and I turned to see the other woman glaring at us. “Aurelia, what… what are you saying?” T

    ARIA I was in Athens. I did it! The taxi left me right outside the hotel where that man, Theodoros, was working. The receptionist showed me the way to his office. «Καλημέρα, σας! Πως θα μπορούσα να σας βοηθήσω; » [“Good morning! How may I help you?”] A young woman sitting at a desk outside his office greeted me. Although she was speaking in Greek, I understood what she was saying. In fact, from the moment I set foot in this country, and I heard people speaking, I didn’t have any problem communicating with them. It felt as if I perfectly knew that language. “I’d like to see Mr. Theodoros Nikolaou,” I asked politely. “Do you have an appointment?” The secretary inquired. “Unfortunately, no! But please, it’s urgent! Could I meet with him? It won’t take long.” I pleaded with her. This was my only chance! I didn’t believe I would be able to sneak out again and fly to Greece. My apologies. Mr. Nikolaou is expecting an important client any minute now. I’m afraid he can’t see you.” The se

    THEO She was back. Finally, our torture was over. I would get to see my little princess’s wish come true. Her mother would be back. But the reality wasn’t exactly as I expected. Her exterior was the same. Well, I won’t lie. She was even better. That new hairstyle suited her better, and from what I could see, her body seemed more athletic now. Her upper arms and legs were more toned. But her eyes. Those wonderful turquoise eyes were the same. And I couldn’t forget them. No matter how much time has passed, their memory will always be etched in my mind. How could I forget the gaze of my wife? The face of the woman I loved, of the woman I kissed before I went to sleep every night and woke up next to every morning for years. Not to mention her presence. Her whole demeanor screamed Ariadne, even if she was denying it adamantly. But what saddened me the most was that she was trusting that excuse of a man. That son of a bitch. David, the one who betrayed her even from the very first momen

    ARIA They were mine. There was no doubt in my mind. I felt it in my gut. I felt it in my heart, and the only thing I wanted to do was run and take them in my arms, squeezing them tight and never letting them go. Tell them, ‘Mommy is here, and she will never leave again’. But I didn’t. I didn’t move from my spot, as I promised. I couldn’t stop crying. Honestly, I felt like I hadn’t cried so much in my whole life. My tears were like rivers flowing endlessly down my cheeks. My thoughts were a wind whirling into my head. I so wished I had my memory back so that I could set everything in order and decide how to act and move on. Fortunately, Theodoros didn’t speak at all while taking me to the airport, and I was thankful for that. I didn’t want to speak. I wasn’t even in the right state to think straight. One thing was obvious. My children needed their mother! And I had to find a solution to come back to them or maybe take them with me into our territory. I’m sure David wouldn’t have a

    DAVID I was awake and in so much pain. The fall from that altitude must have fractured too many bones. The continuous beeping from the monitor device I was hooked on has started to annoy me. I was alive. How? I thought I had drowned. I fainted, that was for sure. Then what? ‘I took control of your body. Swam till I couldn’t move anymore.’ Zeus enlightened me. ‘Thank you?’ ‘It’s not our time yet,’ He declared. “Oh, he woke up!” A young nurse exclaimed, rushing out of the room. I didn’t even acknowledge her presence. Seems like my senses haven’t started working properly yet. Moments later, a doctor came in. I had already started unhooking myself from the monitor and the IV. I smelled him. Human! Fuck. I ended up in a human hospital. Great, the last thing I wanted was to deal with damage control now. “Sir, it’s not advisable to remove the machinery and your IV,” The doctor advised me. “I’m fine.” I blurted out. “You just woke up from a coma, sir. It’s better if you take it s

    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
