2023-11-15 05:00:31I turned the volume down as the last notes of one of my favorite songs ended. I heaved a deep sigh. A wave of nostalgia came over me.
I took my glasses, steadied them on my nose, grabbed my recipe book, and started searching for the chocolate cake recipe. It was my son’s favorite, and I would definitely bake it for his fifteenth birthday tomorrow.
I scanned through the ingredients, adding the ones I needed to my cellphone’s shopping list.
"Mamá?" My son’s inquiring voice echoed.
"Hmmm," I answered, deeply concentrated on my task.
"Can you say that again?" he asked.
I turned to him, raising an eyebrow.
"I didn’t say anything, honey."
Confusion was written on his face. Anxiety, fear, and desperation as well.
"Ok, mamá" he whispered.
A sudden feeling of dread came rushing through me, and I couldn’t help but ask.
"Is someone talking to you?"
"No, mamá," was his immediate response.
"You know you can trust me, right?"
"I know," he whispered again. He took a moment and spoke again.
"But I don’t want you to think I’m crazy," he mumbled, but I heard him loud and clear.
"Try me!" I went and cupped his cheeks, staring right into his deep blue eyes.
"Yes. I’ve been hearing someone in my head for the last two days. At first, I thought it was my imagination, but he is still talking to me all the time." He paused, and I let him take his time. I knew he wanted to say more, and he did after a while.
"I don’t know what to do, mamá. I’m not crazy. I swear."
"I know you’re not crazy. I know… Trust me, I do. I believe you."
"You do?" He looked amazed.
"I do… and I will help you."
"Do you know who’s talking to me, mamá?"
I heard his question; it landed in my subconscious, but my mind traveled, and I took my time to respond to him. Because my mind went with great speed back...
Back to him...
Back to the one who bore the same eye color as my son...
Back to the one who made me feel so many emotions...
Back to the one who made me feel so wanted, loved, and worshiped. Unique, I would say.
Back to the one who made me trust him, love him, breathe, and live for him.
Back to the one who gave me an extraordinary life that only lasted three years. Three wonderful years that ended with him crushing my heart.
Everything between us collapsed in a moment.
Back to him...
I had to go back to him.
For my son...
I had to go back.
Back to the Alpha, who stole my life.
"It’s your wolf!"

The Alpha Who Stole My Life CHAPTER 1 – Like Love at First Sight
ARIADNEAnother summer day in Greece, and there’s no better place to be than the beach: golden sand and turquoise crystal-clear waters. The scorching heat is torturing your body summoning you to dive into the sea.It’s Saturday, and as always, at the weekends or whenever we have the chance, we head to one of the numerous coasts on the island on which we’ve resided for the last three years.Living on an island like ours is ideal. It is quiet in winter, but the exact opposite in summer. Crowded with mostly families - and not wild teenagers who drink what is potable-. Full of shops, restaurants, activities, and events. It’s simply perfect. It feels like a never-ending vacation. Plus, it’s a safe place to raise your children.My name is Ariadne Riga. Age 30. I am married to my lovely husband, Theo Nikolaou, who is a couple of years older than me. He is the love of my life, my best friend, my all.We met at the university when we were studying together at the Department of Business Administ

DAVIDMy name’s David Nathaniel Fortner. I’m 32 years old and a shifter - a werewolf.My wolf’s name is Zeus. He is black, strong and an Alpha, making me one as well. Being an Alpha means you are the leader of a pack.My pack is the Golden Moon Pack, and it’s one of the biggest and strongest in the USA. We, the Fortners, have been Alphas of the Golden Moon Pack from the very beginning. From father to son, our legacy continues, and I´m expected to bring the next heir to my pack. A fact that I have lately started to doubt.The reason?So simple...I´m mateless!That means I haven´t found my fated mate yet. Our mate is our other half, or what most people know as “our soulmate.” A mate is the one who complements and completes us, makes us truly happy and completely satisfied.Every thought and every action spins around your mate. Not a second passes without thinking about them. Your life, your purpose, your mate is everything.And here I am at the age of thirty-two and still haven’t found

DAVIDIt’s been two days since I set foot on that damn island, and still no luck. I was wandering around the central town all day long. It was Friday night, and I returned to my suite. Frustrated. Tired. Fed up.Yesterday, I rented an ATV to explore the island. That four-wheeled vehicle allowed me to sniff better than driving a car. The island wasn’t large, so I managed to cross every village in this place.Today, I scanned through the main town and again got nothing. I hated to believe that Agatha was giving me false hopes. Not that I regretted the three million I had my bank deposited in her account the moment I returned to my territory after I visited her. Money was not a problem. I would give all my funds and assets just to find my female. I would rather be broke and happy than fucking wealthy, alone, and miserable for the rest of my life.I threw my cell phone on the bed, entering the room where I stayed. “Aargh” I growled. I needed to vent my anger. Otherwise, I would burst, and

DAVIDI didn’t leave her out of my eyes, and when she reached her seabed, she wrapped herself up in a towel. I returned to my own and started drinking my beer, watching her.My heart sank when a little girl climbed on her lap and hugged her tightly. She resembled her a lot, from what I could make out from the distance. After a while, two older boys sat on either side of her, and she started offering them fruit from a plastic container she held.‘So, our mate is married with children.’ Zeus said, obviously disappointed.‘And a human as well. She was oblivious to our bond.’ I continued.‘Hmmm.’ He responded, still upset.I ordered another beer and continued observing Ariadne and her family. Their kids were playing around, and she was talking with a man. I believe it was her husband.Lucky fucker!Good thing they stayed only for half an hour, and my torture didn’t last longer. My heart was in pain at the abhorrent truth that she had a family, contrary to the fact that I was utterly elated

DAVIDI missed her on Sunday. When I arrived at her home in the morning, their car was already gone, so I returned to the hotel and decided to hit the gym. With the constant search the previous days, I hadn’t had a proper workout in days.Yesterday, after I returned to the hotel, I came up with two possible plans.Plan A was to persuade her to talk to me in private so that I could explain that I’m a shifter and that she was my mate. I couldn’t just talk to her about these things in open areas or a café where people around us could hear us. I needed her alone.I could see three outcome alternatives from Plan A.First, she could leave her family and choose me as her mate. She would come to my territory, and we could have our happily ever after. But because I knew that these things happen only in fairytales, I also knew that it was too ideal and could never happen.So that brings us to the second option, which is to take her children and come with me home to try our common life together.

ARIADNEIt’s Sunday evening, and like every night except Fridays and Saturdays, I have to prepare for the next day. First, the meals for the kids – the babysitter wasn’t paid to cook, of course – and then for Theo and me when we return from work.It was a long day today. We woke up early and left home before 8 a.m. so that we could find lounges at the most crowded beach on the island. By 9 o’clock, the coast was already packed with tourists, so it was a wise move.While I was there, Mrs. Pappa, the owner of the most expensive hotel on the island, called me. We had planned an anniversary party for her parents on Saturday, and she wanted to meet me to discuss the last details because she was so stressed about it. I booked an appointment with her first thing on Monday morning.We arrived home late in the afternoon and after bathing the kids and myself; I rushed to the kitchen to finish my chores. Afterward, Theo would take the kids out for a walk and something to eat.I was thankful that

DAVIDI couldn’t believe my luck on Monday morning. I was eating breakfast at the hotel’s dining hall, which was situated near its entrance. A wide smirk formed on my lips the moment my nostrils caught her scent. She was here, and I was delighted because it was the last place, I expected to bump into her.I left my food and followed her. She was entering the elevator, and I shouted at her to hold it and she did. She smiled when I got in.“Good morning.” She greeted me.“Hey,” I replied, beaming at her. I caught her sniffing me. Did she like my scent? I just hoped I didn’t smell horrible because I was a little sweaty from my morning run, and I decided to eat straight after my workout, so I haven’t showered yet. Eventually, her posture didn’t change. At least she didn’t seem disgusted, and I was more than relieved. She was watching me intently like she was waiting for something, but when she saw I wasn’t moving, she pressed the button number “3”. That’s my floor. And at that moment, wit

ARIADNEIt’s Saturday morning, and Theo took the kids to the sea, whereas I had to work. I needed to prepare the last details for today’s event. The platinum anniversary of Mrs. Aphrodite Pappa’s parents.Before I went to the office, I had gone to a photo studio. I had assigned a professional to make a video out of a series of photographs. I intended to show it right after the couple’s entrance to the venue. The video was fantastic, and the song I picked with Mrs. Pappa made it even better. Many pairs of eyes would cry tonight watching these sweethearts growing up together.I went to the office, communicated with all the suppliers and people who would be of service tonight, and after I had everything under control, I went to the hairdresser for my appointment.In special events like the one today that I had to be in attendance, I wanted to be presentable and fine-looking. I had my hair styled in an elegant chignon and then headed to my beautician for a natural makeup. I asked her to e

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
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

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

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
