~YULIAI froze in my tracks as I registered the man who was supposed to be my uncle— before me. Seeing Issa shirtless, wet with sweat— was the last thing I had expected. The emotions in his eyes resembled that of a broken man. It was as if a violent storm was raging within them. They were fixed onto mine in such a way that made my intake of breath unsteady. Suddenly, he took a step toward me and I instinctively backed away. He picked up his pace with an urgency that made me question his intentions. My wolf panicked and I widened my eyes at him, preparing myself— stilling myself for what was to come. Yet when he got close enough, he shocked me with his next move. He pulled me into his arms. He wrapped his arms around me without uttering a word once and my eyes only grew wider. Since when was Issa so caring? Why on earth was he hugging me? And of course, my treacherous wolf began to relax against his warmth. His entire essence filled me and went up my nose in such a way that he
~YULIA"I will rip all your hearts apart!" I jumped in my spot and my mouth instantly went dry. I helplessly watched as all their faces began to turn pale with fear— maids and guards alike. There was no telling what Iran was going to do to them. He was losing control. "Who did it?" He demanded again and his words almost made me lose my balance. I looked from the maids to Issa. Even if someone was willing to say anything, I doubted if they would be able to utter a word under this condition. "Fine, I'll help you decide," he whispered ever so calmly yet in such a dangerous way that my legs refused to move. He grabbed a maid and she began to whimper on the spot. My heart sank when I realised that he was going to kill her. I looked to Miles, hoping that he would intervene but the man remained rooted to his spot. I did not know it when my legs developed a mind of their own and pushed me forward. "Iran!" I yelled and almost slapped myself for daring to confront him.He shot his crims
~ISSAI raced back to my room, my heart pounding so hard— it seemed as though it would disconnect itself from the veins connecting it to the rest of my body.I felt like a character in a horror movie, pursued by a ghost. But in my case, I was running from something— someone who wasn’t present but whose memory haunted my entire existence. As soon as I entered my room, I slammed the door shut so hard that the loud banging sound echoed throughout my room. “Breathe Issa,” I whispered to myself— my hands still on the knob with my forehead resting on the door as I listened to my pounding heartbeat.Slowly, I backed away from the door till I reached my bed and sat on it. I looked down at the key in my hand and my body trembled violently as the thought of him crossed my head again.“Stop!” I screamed as I buried my head in my palms, trying to shut the awful voice playing in my head."You're worthless!" Echoes of his voice rang through my head. "You can't do anything right!" Yelled the voic
~YULIA“I never went to the garden.” I folded my arms at him while shaking my head slowly. He stared straight into my eyes and my wolf danced aggressively within me as his forest green eyes seemed to glow.He was definitely crazy— probably losing his mind.“Can’t you see that you are hurt and there is blood all over your clothes? How do you suppose all that happened?” He demanded softly, his voice gentle like the breeze on a summer night.I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. He was right. There were blood stains on my clothes and my head spun like it was in a wheel.I suddenly felt unsafe and simply wanted to be left alone.He stretched his hands to touch me but I flinched away; scared that he was playing tricks on my mind, scared that he was only looking for a way to ignite a dangerous fire between us, one that wouldn’t be quenched easily.“Don’t touch me!” I yelled and rose to leave his side. But a piercing pain passed through my head and I fell again.I closed my eyes
~ISSA"What? Have you lost your mind?" Yulia screamed and I was taken aback by her outrage. She glared daggers at me and I just knew that if she had the power to burn people with her eyes, then my body would have lit up in flames.“I would never move in with you!” She yelled while getting off the bed this time.She staggered and almost fell. Her fingers were shivering and her face was pale. The drugs the pack healer had administered to her had not finished its work but she just wouldn’t listen.I stood up and wanted to run to her but she darted her fingers at me, signifying me to stop.“Why are you being so stubborn, Yulia? Can’t you see that I am doing all I can for your safety?” My hands were in the air, trying to make her see things from my point of view.As I spoke, I attempted once again at approaching her but for each step I took forward, she retreated two steps back every time.“Stay where you are! Don’t
~YULIAIssa stared back at me nervously. There was an uncertainty within his eyes. He looked like someone who liked to read people and it probably made him furious that he could not easily read me. I sighed inwardly and focused back on the task at hand. I couldn’t believe it myself that I was considering his offer but there was nothing I could do.“Yulia. . .” He took a step closer.His gaze, his eyes. Everything seemed to burn with a passion that made my heart race. There was this look in them that felt so good and awkward at the same time, I just couldn’t name it.Having him stare at me this way made me speechless, gosh! He could literally take my breath away without moving a muscle. “We. . . We would not share the same bed, under no circumstances.”“Really? Is that all you want?” He asked as if he had expected more from me. Shit! I should have been more demanding. Perhaps I pushed my luck to ask for luxury. Stupid Yulia! Yara stirred in disapproval but I did not let that gove
~YULIAThere was a silent pause for a while as I waited for the black box to speak again. “Hello, I am Alexa, your virtual assistant and new best friend! And who are you?” It asked.I heaved a sigh of relief when I finally understood what it was and my heartbeat slowed down to its usual pace. I had realised I wasn’t in trouble. Hearing too much witch talk recently must have made me super anxious.I had read about these virtual assistants in school. It was no threat. Could never be one, hopefully. “I am Yulia, and I want to take my bath.”“It’s nice to meet you, Yulia, would you like me to stream any of your favorite music while you take your bath?” Its voice was cheerful and I could not help but smile at it. “Yeah sure, play me. . .” I paused. I could have easily named a song from some of my favorite artists but I didn’t.The virtual assistant thought it was Issa earlier and wanted to play his favorite song.
~ISSAThe moment our bodies came in contact, a strange feeling hit me.Her eyes which bore into mine brought chaos to my thoughts. They had always been beautiful but this time, I saw them in a different light. It seemed as though the stars had stolen their beauty from her eyes.Her lips had the most dangerous effect on me. It was all red and swollen and juicy, sucking the life out of them seemed like the only thing that could make me survive that moment.The air around us suddenly became stuffy as I became rock-hard. I wanted to bury my hardness within her. I wanted to feel her whole. The only thing that made sense in my head was Iran’s voice. He wanted me to get rid of the clothes on my body and be naked on the bed with this beautiful woman in my hands.‘Kiss her! Now!’ I heard him growl. I was literally fighting a war with him as he struggled to come out.He had the upper hand due to the support he was getting from th
~IRISMy heart skipped as my eyes moved slowly over his body. I had to admit, I never thought Issa's loyal little dog had a body as alluring as this. His chest was solid and perfectly formed from years of working on them. And as my eyes fell over his cock, I swallowed hard as I felt my wolf stir with desire. Not even Issa had gotten this type of reaction from me before. I wanted to touch his cock, I wanted to put it in my mouth and I wanted to memorise the feel of it inside of me. An involuntary shiver ran over my body and I instantly snapped out of the strange trance that I had entered. "My eyes are up here," I instantly said when I saw that he was taking in my nakedness. He smirked. "Done checking me out? You like what you see?" I shot him a glare. The last thing I had expected was that he would tease me. "There's nothing to see. Besides, why are you in this bathroom, you pervert!" I snapped. His smirk only got wider. "First off, this is my house. I can use any bathroom I s
~MILESI was beginning to panic as I sped down the road. There were a few cars on the road but I easily maneuvered my way through them. This was because Jamal Khan kept getting paler than he already was. He was sweating all over and he was not even speaking. I could not have him die on me. How was I supposed to explain it?"Shit, you better hold on, you fool! I shouldn't have listened to you. I should have taken you to the hospital first!" I roared as I threw a glance at him through the rearview mirror. It was either he was too weak to reply or he had already passed out. "Hey! Talk to me! You need to keep speaking. Tell me about Lana, you bastard. If you fucking die on me, I'll butcher your corpse into pieces and that's a threat!" A small weak chuckle escaped his lips as he wheezed loudly in an attempt to take in a deep breath. "If you. . . Butcher my corpse, my ghost will haunt you to death. . ."I smiled and my tremors reduced when I heard his voice. I was almost at the hospit
~IRISThe force of the explosion knocked me off my feet. Luckily, my fall was in warm hands. Miles must had seen the explosion coming because he swiftly lifted me off the ground and shielded me with his body. All I felt was warmth as I stayed under him and when the noise subsided, he released me and I looked up once again to be met with his calm brown eyes. I froze in place, not knowing what to say before he pulled me to my feet. That was when I remembered that Andrea and Khan had been right in the front. "Andrea!" I screamed as I started running toward them.There was blood on the floor, pooling from one of them and it terrified the shit out of me. On getting to the spot, I realised that Khan had taken a hit to his gut while protecting my sister. The broken glass still laid in his guts and I knew that pulling it out was going to make him bleed out. "Andrea," I cried as I knelt before her to examine for any new injuries but there was none to be worried about. Khan grunted in pai
~IRIS I had never felt this helpless in my entire life. Rage burned through my soul as I ran toward the cross, not caring that there could be a sort of trap somewhere waiting for me. My wolf howled in pain and I felt as if I had been crippled just seeing Andrea in this state. "Andrea, wait!" I heard Miles scream but I was too angry to listen. "Get her down, please!" I heard the bitch Yulia say to Issa no doubt. By the time I reached the cross, Issa had already gotten there. He moved at great speed as he climbed up the cross and began to tear the things bounding Andrea off. In no time, he was lowering her into my arms. "Andrea! It's me!" I cried as I tapped her cheeks continuously but there was no response.I felt as if my world was about to end. "She's not responding!" I cried. Detective Khan reached the scene with Miles and Yulia following closely behind. "Let me see," Khan stated and knelt before her. "Don't touch her and act like you care!" I suddenly barked as hot tear
~ISSAYulia looked pale. She looked afraid and I hated that she was plagued by fear. I wanted her to know that there was no reason to be scared with me by her side. ‘If you had taken out every trace of Helena that day, then none of this would have happened. Fucking coward!’ Iran roared within me. I gritted my teeth in an attempt to bite him down. That was when Yulia moved her lips like she was about to speak. "I—" My phone suddenly buzzed and I took it out to see that it was a call from Iris. Why the fuck was Iris calling me?"Who is it?" Yulia asked. "Iris," I answered. "I'll ignore it." "Answer her!" Albus suddenly cut in as he frowned as if he had seen something. The urgency in his voice startled me and I answered the call. "Issa, it's Andrea! They— she. . .I—" She was wailing. She sounded terrified. I had never heard her this vulnerable before. "Calm down, Iris. Where are you?" "A— at our house," she stuttered. "I'm coming over immediately." I ended the call and rose t
~YULIAI saw the Darkness coming for me. It came in the form of a large intimidating shadow and it consumed all the light in its vicinity. I tried to run. I tried to move my legs but nothing happened. I remained rooted to the ground, watching in horror as it came for me.It screeched and I winced at the sound. My entire body began to tremble. I was sweating all over. The darkness reached me and that was when adrenaline shot through my veins and broke me out of the captivity of the Darkness' presence. My legs began to move and I ran for it. But the Darkness did not seem to like it. It screeched and the sound threatened to force me down on my knees. Yet I fought it with all my might and I was almost running off when I felt something cold close around my left leg. Once its grip was firm, it pulled my leg and my balance gave way. I saw the ground getting closer and I finally fell face first onto the ground. I cried out in pain and began to fight against the Darkness' hold but it wa
~JAMALShe had a mischievous smile on her face. The action looked a lot like what Yulia would do and I understood why they were such good friends. They were very similar. "Why do I feel as if I just sold my soul to the devil?" I asked with a smile. She grinned at me. "Not your soul, pretty boy. You just signed your cock over to me." Then she instantly got off her chair and came to kneel before me. I widened my eyes at her. "What are you doing?" Her smile grew wider. "You gave me permission and access over your body so corporate." He laughed. "You look like you're going to rape me." She kept her grin without a word and began to untie the strings keeping my pants in place. "I know you will enjoy this a lot. I've heard you masturbating with my name." I flinched. Was I so careless that I let her hear that?"Don't worry, I've done the same countless times and I can finally make it real." I widened my eyes at the girl kneeling before me. She was no longer just the girl I was prote
~JAMALI had a feeling the night was going to turn out the way that was in Issa's favor. . .and it did. That Bastard Issa had it all planned out, which was why he never let pride drop the entire time. I was more concerned about how he always got his information. I was convinced he had secret agents everywhere sourcing out information for him from the shadows. Perhaps an organisation. There was no doubt with that Lycan. I shook my head and laughed. I didn't tell Issa this but he had gained my respect tonight. He handled everything seamlessly and even managed to name a big traitor the same night. Thumbs up but quite a shame for me seeing as I wasn't the one who brought the reveal forward. My phone buzzed as if on cue. I looked down to see the Caller ID as HQ. I pulled over by the side of the road and answered. "Is what I heard true, Khan?" His deep voice sliced through the air. "What exactly did you hear?" I asked, keeping my cool. He might be my boss but he couldn't intimidate
~YULIAIssa smiled as he stood naked before me. I got comfortable on the bed, rested my back against the bedpost and parted my legs deliberately as an invitation for him to come over. His smile grew wider as he slowly climbed on the bed. He slowly crawled to me before kneeling between my legs. I looked up at him and he reached out to touch my cheeks."How naughty you are, little girl," he whispered. I corked my brows at him in amusement. "Little girl? Where's that coming from?" He leaned over and crashed his lips against mine. He nibbled on my lower lip deliberately slowly before he pulled away and stared down at me. "What?" I laughed. He shook his head and began to kiss me again, this time deeper than before. His hands came to my waist while I held his face in my palms as he leaned closer to me, such that his cock was brushing my stomach. He pulled away again and smiled at me. Yara stirred at the sight of his smile. "Will you stop doing that?" He chuckled. "Sometimes, I find
