“Ok, let’s just have this dance.” I sighed, and deep down, I hoped I wouldn’t regret it.

A wide smile emerged on David’s face, and he extended his hand for me to take. Reluctantly, I took it, following his lead to the center of the room, where we had more space to dance.

He asked Alexa to play something from his list, and a song from Lady Gaga started playing. [Remember us this way]

I’d heard it before, and I knew her voice. It was characteristic.

I placed my left hand on his shoulder and the right on his hand, and I started following his lead. It’s been more than twenty-two years since we last danced, but it felt like it was yesterday. Our bodies worked in sync and mine knew how to follow each step, how to react to each tug or pull. As the song went on and I was listening to the lyrics, I understood why he had picked it.

This.

Our dance.

Me in his arms.

Flowing to the music.

Swaying like one.

He wanted to make a memory of us as we used to be as a mated couple and, of course, c

    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.

  • 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
