ARIADNE I opened my eyes. It was day already. I rubbed them to wake up. I glanced at the time: 08:00. David would have woken me up by that time. He would shower, and then we would go down for breakfast together. But he wasn’t here. Why wasn’t he here? And then I understood what day it was. I was leaving today. But… Didn’t he want to say goodbye to me? Didn’t he want to fight for me? Ask me to stay? Why was he letting me go so easily? Didn’t he love me? My sight fell on the note on his side. I couldn’t keep my tears from falling. I was mad at him, yes. Anger, disappointment, and frustration were my main feelings. But despite what happened, I loved him. I owed him at least a farewell before I departed. I didn’t know if I’d see him ever again. I read and reread the note. Touching his letters. I gently brushed my lips on the paper leaving my hot tears on it. So, this was goodbye… I wiped my tears with the back of my hand and started getting ready. A while later, I was with my sm
DAVID A week. Zeus kept me to grieve just for a week. If I could stay there in the depths of our minds forever, I would do it. But he said we had a pack to take care of, so he forced me to shift to my human form. Yet I knew what I had to do, even though he wasn’t on board with that. I found myself lying at the packhouse’s rear entrance, naked. I went up, showered, and got dressed. I read the note she left me. Be fucking happy. Yeah… Sure! That was definitely not gonna happen. No one touched our room, and I was thankful for that. I could still smell her. Her scent was faint, but still here. On the one hand, I liked it, on the other hand, it was torture. But as I said before, that was my punishment. I asked Richard to gather the pack. I needed to address them about Ariadne. What I intended to do was tell them the truth. I reached the place where everyone was waiting for me. They bowed their heads in respect as I walked among them toward the place I was to speak from. I cleared my th
ARIADNE I was back in Greece for a little longer than a month. It appeared that everything had fallen into a comforting and predictable routine. The kids were at school all morning, and when they returned, I was helping them with their homework and then we had some time together till they went to sleep. During Theo’s days off from work, we would make it a point to spend quality time together as a family, usually by traveling and visiting different locations. My memory had yet to return. However, I had even more dreams and visions that helped me recall some of them. Going through photo albums and videos helped me, too. When I called Doctor Sully, he expressed how sorry he was that he went on with that procedure. But I wasn’t blaming him, as I knew how persuasive David could become. He said that it usually took six months for patients to fully recover from the cure, but he was referring to werewolves, so in my case, and with my mate away to speed up the process, it could take a yea
Hello everybody. I'm writing this note to let you know that Book 2 [THE ALPHA WHO STOLE MY LIFE: THE COMEBACK] will continue to be updated right here. I had applied for a separate book but my editor suggested continuing the story under the original, and I'm totally in sync with that. Some of you have already read the first three chapters of Book 2 as I had them as author notes (6 free chapters). These three chapters have a lot of words (~7k). The word count is taken into consideration and when the book reaches certain milestones it is promoted on the app. And because promotion is very important, especially for new authors like me I decided to change them into pay to read chapters. (Author note's words aren't taken into the word count). So this A/N is to warn you that the next 3 chapters are the six free ones I had in the app before. (now you can't see them as they are already erased.) The three first chapters in Book 2. If you have already read them you really don't have to unlock
ARIADNE It’s been over a decade and a half since I walked away from David. Not a day has passed without me thinking of him. Is it possible to continue being in love with someone you haven't seen in years? Even despite the vast distance separating you from him? Well, let me give you the answer. It is. And I am living proof of that impossible yet unbreakable love. I blamed the mate bond at the beginning. Still, I was aware that this was not the case. We had rejected each other. I saw him writhing in agony before me, taking all the pain of our bond breaking on him. That’s not what I wanted. I never wanted him to suffer. I would embrace that pain, too. Instead, I was only left with the guilt of what his actions had caused. Ashamed of being an unfaithful wife and a mother who abandoned her children. Even without my knowledge. If I had forgiven him for kidnapping me? Yes, I had. I knew it was absurd. I knew what he did was out of logic, unethical, and totally wrong. However, after
DAVID A FEW MONTHS AGO… ‘It’s so difficult to open my eyes and no longer see you. No longer smell you. No longer being able to touch you. Our pictures are scattered all around our apartment. Every corner of the house and its deadly silence speak to me about you, reminding me of you. As if I could forget you. But I can’t, and I won’t. I tried but I don’t want to… I’m trying to find you in my dreams, searching for you constantly. But when I see you, you are with your family. Far, far away, and happy. Wasn’t that what I wanted for you? To be happy? That’s why I let you go. Your happiness is all I care for. My sole wish is for you to come back someday; that you’ll choose me. I’d give everything for you to come back. Everything to have you again back in my life. Everything to see your unique and divine turquoise eyes again, staring back at me. For one more time…’ A new day. I opened my eyes to welcome the new day. Alone again. I will never adapt to that fucking reality, regard
JOHN Mamá said I’m not crazy. Mamá said she would explain. Mamá said it’s my wolf who’s talking to me. ‘I told you so…’ I heard the irritated voice again in my mind. ‘Shut up!’ I countered. ‘I told you to shut the fuck up!’ ‘Mom will scold you if she hears you bragging, dude!’ Came the voice again. No, I’m not crazy. No, I’m not hearing voices in my head. Everything is fine. Everything is wonderful. Mamá will explain everything and the annoying voice will eventually stop. ‘Ha. News flash, dude. Mom never said that I’d stop talking to you. Let’s quickly purchase these ingredients and go home. I want to eat that chocolate cake mom bakes. It’s delicious.’ He mumbled. ‘How do you know? You started talking a couple of days ago?’ ‘Yes, I woke up a few days ago, but I’ve been with you since… forever.’ The voice elaborated. ‘Why are you talking in English?’ I asked, intrigued that the voice kept blabbering in a foreign language. ‘Ha, I know Greek too. But I prefer English. That’s the
ARIADNE I was sitting next to my son, watching as his eyes turned from black to deep blue. He was having a conversation with his wolf, for sure. David’s eyes didn’t change that way when he was speaking with Zeus, but for some reason, I believed that this was happening. After a while, John was back. “Done talking?” I asked. “How do you know?” He inquired, intrigued. “Mother instincts.” I shrugged my shoulders. “Now go pack your stuff, and I’ll prepare the cake. Do you mind blowing out your candles today instead of tomorrow?” “No, ma. It’s the same for me.” “Ok, your father would be happy, and I’ll tell Annelise to come, too.” ~~~ It was late afternoon. We had our luggage ready and we would leave for the airport in a few hours. John went to say goodbye to his friends. Annelise would come in a little, and Theo had already returned from his job. We were sitting and drinking coffee, discussing. “Do you believe me now?” I couldn’t help but ask Theo. “I do. Seeing his eyes change co
