~ YULIA.Who the hell does he think he is?He fucking had the audacity to tell me to stay put as if I was some kind of pet! I had found myself nodding before I came to my senses. Now in defiance of his order, I paced around the room angrily. Why was I afraid to go down stairs? What was stopping me from leaving this room?What was so important that he had to leave? I shook my head and tried to forget about it as I headed to the luxury bathroom. I picked up a new toothbrush and toothpaste. I applied a lot of paste and brushed thoroughly.When I was done, I rinsed my mouth abundantly with water and sighed as I stared at the mirror… at myself. Were those large sleep bags under my eyes?Ugh! That pervert made it hard to sleep last night. I was conscious of every movement, down to the smallest sound he made as he turned and tossed.To be honest, I was terrified of his other rabid wolf groping me when I slept so I half dozed through the night. How I woke up on his chest drooling away was
~ ISSA.I hated the way Yulia's name rolled off his tongue.I hated the familiarity he used to say her name. It was not like I was jealous. I just didn't buy the entire idea of them being acquaintances. "What makes you so sure that Yulia is the target?" I scrutinised him."The markings on the body are all ancient writings," Jamal replied. "And trouble started the moment she showed up. It's almost as if she's a radar to all sorts of crisis." "What makes you think that this body is not a message to me?" I asked instead. "Because you are not worth the trouble, but I don't think that matters now. Whoever did this is showing you that he does not mind going through you." He looked serious even if he just outrightly sidelined me. Again, I asked myself what was so important about this girl. Why was trouble following her around like she was some sort of magnet? "They can try," I finally said. “But they won't get to her. She is under my care." "Save the bravado, Issa. She needs to be pro
~ YULIA.I knew she was going to be trouble from the way she stood with her hands on her hips. She stood like she owned the place. She was in a very expensive dress that hugged her body and showed off her seductive curves. Its shoulders were off and was drowned in silver with sparkling matching shoes.The dress was in contrast to her stark blue eyes and fiery red hair that flowed down her back with expensive ease. "You slept over," She said looking around coldly. She was not asking questions.From the first time I looked her over, I decided that I was going to bide my time with her and not let her think she could bully me around. I wasn't the rebel back home for nothing. "And you must be the crazy and obsessive girlfriend he told me about," I replied. "Hi, I am Yulia, his emotional therapist." I stretched out my hand."You are a funny one," She replied in that same cold tone."I admire your observational skill, is that what drew him to you?" I teased as I wore a smirk.She smiled t
~ YULIA.I was not surprised by what Leia said about Issa. I mean he was a Lycan, so of course he was a whore."I used to think what happened in the bedroom, stayed in the bedroom." My voice was casual as I bit into the fresh green pear I picked out of a variety of fruits."Why was she in your bedroom?" Andrea's voice was cold as she glared at Issa."That is none of your business," Issa answered and took a seat by my side.I had so many questions for him but I had to wait for this unwanted breakfast to end."So she is exclusive." Iris raised an eyebrow."What does she mean by exclusive?" I dared to ask.The tension in the room seemed to have floated back in. While others were enjoying it, some weren't."Private fuck toy," Leia said as she drank from a glass cup of wine. She was really vulgar and bold."Why are you all here?" Issa changed the subject instead as he poured himself some wine."Dad is anxious, he wants the Announcing to go well, so he sent us here," Andrea revealed.Issa s
~ISSAI tried to remain calm as I watched Leia follow Yulia outside.I knew that it was probably to warn her off. She was wasting her time. Nothing had happened between me and Yulia...yet, so they had no cause for creating any drama."You are playing a dangerous game, Issa," Andrea said to me."What do you mean?" I asked."That girl does not belong here," Iris said. She was the eldest and most insane."She belongs to me," I told them with a finality that shocked them."Is that why you are flaunting her in our faces?" Andrea asked"You know me so well," I said as I picked up an apple."Aren't we enough for you?" Andrea asked angrily. "It's bad enough I have to share you with my sisters and here you are trying to add another one to the rooster.""I hate sharing him with you, Andrea," Iris said in a factual tone."Ladies, please, no fighting, there is no more me to go around," I told them, knowing fully well that this would stir up problems in the room."You can not and will not put a st
~Yulia.I was a nervous wreck by the time Issa helped me with my back zip.I wasn't supposed to ask for his help. It should have been something I could handle on my own but I realised in the end that I needed his help, since he was technically the only one close.It was either him or the Craven birds. Surprisingly, he was a total gentleman as he helped me with it. His eyes never strayed and he made no snark remarks. Well, only the rate of his breathing shifted and I felt goosebumps scatter across my skin when his warm fingers brushed my back. I did not even know he was done until he spoke. "You look ravishing." His eyes finally roamed my body hungrily. I felt a tingle in both my nipples and a slight twitch in between my legs."I don't think that's something you should say to your niece." I avoided his gaze as I tried to regain my composure."You are more than my niece, Yulia." His tone grew serious and I could feel his eyes on me. "Don't get any ideas, I don't want your Craven c
~YULIA.With every step they took into the space, the darker and stronger the power in the air grew.My wolf suddenly went silent and I doubted if I was going to be feeling her at the surface anytime soon. "Just breath," Issa said the moment he noticed my discomfort. "Your senses are overwhelmed, just immerse yourself in it."I shut my eyes and tried to drown in the power like he said. It felt strange surrending myself to it but I had no other choice. I had to do as he said. A few moments later, I became used to the strange atmosphere."The Order?" I asked as I watched them talk quietly among themselves. They were nine in number. Three men and six women and they paid attention to no one else but themselves."Old snobbish people?" I asked with an amused smile."Yep." A small smile tugged at the corners of his lips and I could not resist returning it myself. "I can not wait to get to the part where they try to buy me." "Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it." The ol
~ISSAMy heart exploded as I shot Davina the coldest glare. Even Iran came alive from the corner I had pushed him to. "Did you just threaten a living soul right before my eyes?" Jamal cut in even before I could speak. Davina corked her brows at him as she looked him over. Almost amused that she had roused up these emotions from him. Jamal looked genuinely angry and that angered me too. It was one thing for Davina to threaten Yulia and it was another for Jamal to suddenly become protective of her. What was he trying to prove? Who the hell did he think he was? I was disgusted by the way that he came to Yulia's defence. That was my fucking job. He could haul his stuck up ass out of here if he thought bullying three women made him a better werewolf.‘Forgive me if you took it in an offensive way, Nocturnal Detective Jamal. . .’ Davina deliberately trailed before smirking at him. "I only meant that she would be stirring up a lot of trouble with her presence. There will be bloodshed,
~YULIAI just called the head of the Academy a dick. And he thought it was funny. Albus looked at Davina with a humorous twinkle in his eyes and winked.“Well, she’s got a little fire in her, that’s for sure,” he said with a chuckle.“I didn't mean it,” I said in a small embarrassed tone.“Of course you did,” Albus said boisterously. I was kind of shocked that he did not get offended. “Let us have a seat, shall we?” He said and snapped his hand. Some of the books closed shut and floated to their respective shelves. The chairs and tables arranged themselves. Some of the men and women exited the room to continue their reading elsewhere while Davina and Albus remained.“Who are those people?” I asked, recalling that I had seen them at Issa’s Announcement.“Members of the board,” Albus shrugged as sat down across from me. Davina remained standing by his side with her arms crossed. I could see the tension in her shoulders.“Do you know why we called you here?” Albus asked as he twirled
~ISSAMy mind was heavily on how Yulia was doing as I entered the premises of Calion Holdings. There was so much work to be done, new updates to be installed on the company archives and new codes to write in order to strengthen the online security of the company assets.Hackers were already devising newer and slicker codes– ways of getting access to hidden information and I needed to be ten steps ahead. I was deep into working when my office door opened abruptly. The interim chief executive officer of Calion Holdings stood with her legs apart and her arms crossed. She was in a maroon power suit with a knee length skirt and matching stiletto heels.Iris Craven. As I glanced at her, I instantly realized that she came with a problem.“I am guessing your presence here has nothing to do with work,” I said and closed my laptop. Unlike Andrea and Leia, Iris was not someone to be dismissed. She was a very important part of Calion Holdings and the one closest to Deucalion. She was the firs
~YULIA“Yulia, we will be late for the next class,” Ashley said. I finally looked up from my phone and stared at her as we walked out of the class. “I have to see the Dean.” “It’s because of Leia, is it not?” She raised her brows at me with worry.. “Yeah,” I lied. Her expression turned grim. “It is alright, I am not getting expelled or anything.”Her face brightened up after that. “Oh, I was worried there for a while.” She sighed in relief.. “See you later.” I smiled at her before she turned and dashed to her next class. I blew out a tension-filled breath, adjusted my ash blazer and turned to the direction of the Dean’s office.I had barely made it two steps away when two very tall girls appeared out of the blue and blocked my path with their bodies. I frowned and was about to ask them to step out of the way politely when I looked up and the words died in my mouth. It was Leia’s minions. The blonde twins and they glared at me quietly as if I had stolen their boyfriends.“Do not t
~YULIAIssa and I went over the plan as he drove me to school. I had to wait for Dean Davina to call me first.“Do not appear too eager or they will definitely suspect that something is up,” Issa said as he focused on the road.“But why should they be suspicious? Aren’t they the ones that want me to join them?” I asked.“You must understand that the Canis board is a very distrustful bunch, so even if they extend a hand of invitation, they are still very watchful and doubtful, even amongst themselves,” Issa replied.“What should I look forward to?” I asked as my anxiety began to set in.“Lots of questions about me and Marianna,” he said. “They will also ask about you and how you grew up, they could also try to turn you against me,” he said.“They hate you that much?” I asked in disbelief.“More than you can ever imagine,” Issa replied.“But you have to keep our Mated status a secret, they will not let you in if they know about that,” he added.“I think Andrea knows,” I said to him with
~ISSAI stayed awake all night as I remembered the past. I occasionally glanced at Yulia as she slept. With what she was going to do tomorrow, she needed all the rest she could get.I still could not believe that I had agreed to let her go behind the enemy lines, but there was no other way to get the answers we needed. “You are going to regret refusing us Issa, just you wait,” Davina’s voice echoed in my head as I flashed back to when we were young, before she had been appointed the position of the Dean of Canis Academy.She had been so angry when I had coldly rebuffed her when she told me that the school board wanted me to join its rank after graduation. It had been a long time ago.Deucalion had joined without hesitation. It was there that he had found his mate, and it was the reason why his daughter Leia could never be expelled whenever she broke the rules and regulations of the school.Then the war started. Humans, werewolves and witches alike had been caught in the crossfire. A
~YULIAHearing the Lycan that I was mated to telling me that he saved my life when I was a baby had to be one of the most unexpected things to hear. The sound of chattering and spoons clinking on coffee mugs were drowned out by the panic that went through me.I heard echoes of my name as I went lost in thought.“Yulia!” Issa’s concerned voice snapped me out of my trance.“You are not taking this news well,” He said to me.I abruptly stood up and the chair scraped on the floor, almost toppling over.“I need some air,” I said and headed for the exit. The people in the café suddenly felt too much and I was feeling quite a bit suffocated.Issa followed me outside but Jamal remained sitting, drinking his free coffee.Once outside, I leaned forward, putting my hands on my knees as I breathed in and out. I was shaking with anxiety. I did not know if I had the ability to hear any more of my unknown origin.“We can call it a night if you want,” Issa offered, his voice filled with concern.“No
~ISSAThe body brought back memories. Deep dark forgotten memories. There was no point in denying anything any longer. They were getting bolder with this act and it was time to go on the offensive.“Dear gods,” Whispered, Yulia with a look of terror as she looked up at the large oak tree where the human had been grotesquely nailed. Blue Lake Public Park was filled with forensic analysts who took pictures of the signs drawn around the tree and the blood splattered on the branches.“She should not be seeing this, Frostwood,” Jamal whispered to me.“I can hear you, werewolves have super hearing abilities, Detective,” Yulia said, unable to take her eyes off the corpse nailed to the tree.“Fine, you should not be here, this is not your scene,” Jamal said. He turned to me. “Stop exposing your niece to things like this.”I was tired of hiding the fact that I was already mated to Yulia but I was not sure I trusted Jamal just yet. He currently answered to no one and that worried me.“I can n
~YULIAIf one entered the house and made one’s way up to my room, the scene would have been a bit bizarre. First thing one would see was a broken door on the floor with the hinges severely damaged. Torn clothes with the buttons askew all over the place and two naked people snuggled on the floor covered in sweat and sex and seed.It was late in the night when we both woke up. Issa woke up first and I found him gazing at me.“Hey,” He said in a well-rested tone.I caressed his face and kissed him softly on the lips. I was so satisfied. “That was…mind blowing,” I told him, unable to take my eyes off his eyes. It was already dark inside.“You are becoming so addictive, I want more of you, Yulia,” He said and I smiled.“I feel very much the same about you,” I told him.His hands softly grazed my cheeks. “How do you do it?” He asked. “Why do I obey you so easily, what spell have you cast on me to follow your every command?”I snuggled closer to him, feeling his steady heart beat on my ba
~ISSAI could not breathe.I did not want to. I would gladly die here if she wanted me to. Yulia’s pussy was on my face with my tongue deep inside of her and my nose pressed to her clit. I was busy cleaning up the wet mess I made but it was next to impossible. She came on my face for a third time and I hungrily ravaged her folds with my insatiable tongue.“Your tongue is wonderful, Issa,” She moaned and grind her hips against my face. The sound of wet pussy squishing against my face and nose filled the room.I moaned in response. I had no idea how long she was going to play this game, not that I was complaining. I would please her
