~ISSAWe glared at each other as the silence passed. I was no longer in control. Iran had taken the reign of my body and he wanted to feed. He wanted to hear the sound of bones breaking and flesh tearing. This human who dared to hurt Yulia's friend had no idea what was in store for him. He had no idea the doors of pain he had unleashed upon himself.He was trying to be fearless but Iran could smell his fear. The man looked behind me and stared at Yulia with cold eyes that promised revenge."I told you to come alone but you disobeyed me, when I am done with your knight in shining armor here, I will make you pay," He dared to utter and I could hear the slight waver in his voice.Tonight, he would know what fear and pain was. I remembered how he called Yulia a good girl and Iran's rage increased as he struggled to stand still."Pick it up," Iran growled again, referring to the knife on the floor. The knife was curved and the silver blade was gleaming under the white light in Lana's ki
~YULIAI fought the dizziness that threatened to take over me. The sight of blood made me want to throw up. Lana was whimpering by my side with fear still in her eyes as I did my best to calm her down. The guy Issa was facing was dying and heavily bleeding and I was afraid to look at the severed hand inside the sink.The man's blood was pooling at the floor and spreading across the space. I had to put a stop to this because Lana was getting more terrified as the moments passed by. The man was trembling as he struggled to hold the knife upright."Enough!" I yelled at the top of my voice as I stood up.Issa turned to look at me with a puzzled expression on his face. His eyes were terrifying to look at. I could see primal hunger and bloodlust in them. I walked closer. "I want to speak with Issa," I said in a firm voice even though I was shaking with fear."He is not here," Iran growled back at me.
~YULIA"Why did you kill him?" I screeched in disbelief.I helplessly watched life leave the man that put my best friend's life in danger.I looked at Issa in disbelief until I realized that it was Iran the beast in control. The man's heart was still pulsing in his hands as I tried not to throw up.Iran shuddered and his red eyes turned to green. Issa was back in control. He threw the heart at the man's body and the thick blanket of shadows disappeared as the night stars became visible again.Issa produced a white handkerchief from his inner suit jacket and cleaned his bloody right hand."He had to die, Yulia," He replied calmly. "I promised Iran blood and blood he would get." I looked at the body in disbelief and disgust. "But he told us what we wanted to know.""Because he had no other choice," Issa said with a nonchalant shrug. I watched him take out his phone and he took a picture of the dead body
~YULIA"He did not have to die, Issa," I told him adamantly. "You could have let him go," I added.Issa scoffed and said nothing. I was still reeling from the shock of seeing the man's heart ripped out violently from his chest.I was fighting back the urge to throw up as I closed my eyes and clamped my mouth shut. Earlier I had tried to be strong for Lana’s presence, but now that she was gone, my defenses were crumbling down.All the while, Issa was focused on the road and I knew that he was worried. I evened by breathing and opened my eyes as the bile in my throat went down."Does killing come very easy to you?" His facial expression changed. I knew immediately that he was annoyed by my question."I saved your friend, and this is what I get in return," He replied curtly.He was right. He owed me nothing and yet he had willingly left the party… his announcement party to help me rescue Lana from the clutches of the now dead man."Thank you," I muttered, a bit embarrassed. "I just can't
~YULIABlood and violence. These were the things I had witnessed ever since I met Issa. I wondered if it was ever going to stop. "Are those really necessary?" I asked in the stuffy storage room as I watched the three unconscious tied men with knives sticking out of different parts of their joints."That is why I told you to stay in the car," Issa curtly replied."Hey, I told him that it was overkill," Miles said with his hands raised in mock surrender."Pain keeps them awake and aware," Jamal shrugged."Let's get this over with," Issa said and I couldn't agree more. I did not want to be here any longer but I needed to know something... anything.Jamal moved to the middle man and twisted the knife embedded in his thigh. He screamed awake. He looked around in fear until his swollen eyes settled on me.I winced in pain as I watched breathlessly. "Let us continue from where we stopped," Jamal said coldly."Child of light," The man whispered weakly as he watched me.I corked my brows at
~ISSA'Yulia…' Iran whispered in my ears as I drove us home. 'I want Yulia.'I ignored him and concentrated on the road ahead of us. If I had not been in control, I was sure Iran would pull the car over and ravage Yulia in the back seat of the car.I did not know how long I could control myself around Yulia. I needed my cock in her so badly that it was driving me crazy."Those men are dead," Yulia whispered in a haunted voice. Then she looked outside the window of the car and I knew that she was afraid to look at me."They had to die," I replied as I tried to focus on the night road."Or maybe you just needed an excuse to kill." Her voi
~YULIAI slept horribly.My dreams were filled with burning men and Issa's lips. I was aroused all through the night and Yara kept stirring with need and making it all unbearable for me to survive.Lana's call was what finally forced me out of bed. "How are you?" I asked in a drowsy voice."Did I wake you?" There was concern in her tone."It’s alright, I did not sleep much anyway.""Nightmares?" She asked.I sighed. "And a lot more..." I replied. "Is everything alright where you are?""Oh my god!" She exclaimed. "Your friends are fucking rich! Everything I ask for is given to me within a heartbeat. You hit the
~ISSAI deleted the lewd pictures Andrea sent me over the night. She had been dressed in one of her sexy lingeries. Each picture she sent had clever taunting captions.'Think of your niece as you fuck my brains out.''My body can take her off your mind.'Yet it did nothing to satisfy my hunger. It was too late. Iran had already claimed Yulia, Andrea's touch and body could do nothing to take Yulia off my mind. I scrolled through my phone to see if there was anything about yesterday. That was when I saw the headline. “MYSTERIOUS FIRE KILLS FIVE IN COFFEE SHOP.”I closed the page and put the phone back into my pocket. I was waiting for Yulia to get dressed so we could check out the academy. I knew that she hated the idea of school but it was a requirement if she was ever going to be a proper werewolf.She came down the stairs in a simple pair of tight blue jeans that hugged her perfectly shaped legs– showing off the very curves that drove Iran crazy. She added on a white V neck sweats
~ISSAIt was the first time I saw Deucalion actually look nervous as he poured himself a drink. We were all in his big study waiting for him to start talking. I realized that even his daughters had no idea that their mother was alive.“What is she talking about, Daddy?” Leia asked in a shaky voice. “You told us mom died.”Deaucalion sighed. “Clearly, I lied,” he replied as he walked to the large window overlooking the garden in his huge backyard.The room instantly went cold at this revelation. No one said a word for a while as we all took our time to process this information. His daughters glared at him with the feeling of utter betrayal in their eyes.“Why?” Iris demanded in a tight voice, as she was the first person to recover.. Deucalion shook his head. It was as if he was in a nightmare and wanted to wake up by all means.The doors to the study suddenly burst open with Andrea and a man passionately kissing and moaning. I did not think they noticed us as they grabbed and rubbed
~YULIA“He really wants your seed so bad; he is involving the council?” I asked Issa as he sped down the highway. “This is so ridiculous,” I added in annoyance.Issa sighed and made no reply. I could see that he was deeply thinking of what to do. “You can not refuse this can you?” I asked.“Unfortunately, no,” He replied. “There has to be law and order or else everyone will just do whatever they want. That was why the council was made. To keep everyone in line and it will speak badly of me if I do not follow it. Not that I care.”Clearly, he did care and he was just in denial. I understood that, Issa being who he was, hated being told what to do, especially by those that he knew were beneath him but he had to lead by example.“I find this suspicious though,” he said. “Petr could have made this move immediately I turned him away but he waited until we both found out about Helena.”“You think he is part of it?” I asked.“I know that he is part of it, I just need to make the connection.”
~ISSAI was not surprised that the dead don’t ever stay dead. I was surprised that the dead wanted what was mine. Helena Craven was alive and that only meant two things. Deucalion lied to me or he was unaware that his Luna had cheated death. Either way, I was going to get to the bottom of whatever the fuck was going on.What did Helena Craven want with Yulia? Why did she kill my sister? The Craven family had a deep dark secret and I would do anything in my power to find out what they were hiding.“Are you okay?” Yulia’s voice invaded my thoughts as I drove home. “You look sad.”I frowned at her, puzzled at what she said. “I have a sad face?” I asked in disbelief.“I think you forget that emotions are part of your being, Issa, even if you do not believe it.” She sounded genuine as she watched me.. “I feel betrayed,” I told her. “Helena is supposed to be dead but now that I am hearing she is behind all these, I do not know what to think.”I pulled into the driveway of the beach hous
~YULIAI could tell that Pete felt the change in the atmosphere as he glared at me and Issa. I understood how he felt. One moment he was this close to having his revenge and the next, he was disowned by his own father.“This was not how you imagined it would pan out, did you?” Issa asked mockingly as he put his phone back into his pocket. He looked at the men behind Pete. “And because you all blindly followed him, I am curious, what did he even offer you?” “Don’t tell him anything,” Pete ordered the men.“Why should we listen to you?” One of them asked. “Yeah, the way I see it, we have no reason to be here right now, we’re fucked because of you.”“I can get us out of this!” Pete thundered desperately.“I cannot wait to see how you do that,” Issa said as he watched. He was clearly entertained by Pete’s helplessness. I was curious myself as I watched on. I had some questions for him.“I know some things about you, Frostwood, some things you do not want to go public,” Pete said. “Ac
~YULIAIt was mesmerizing looking at the sea as it crashed on the sandy shores of Issa’s private beach house. The moon shone brightly as the waves rose and fell. “I had never seen Miles so angry before,” I told Issa as he joined me at the balcony overlooking the beach. It was different at night as the sands looked more like night ash while the water took on the colour of the sea.“He has every right to be, it was about time anyway,” Issa replied. I turned to him.“How long are we going to keep hiding everything about us, Issa?” I asked him. “Because at this point, I do not care who finds out what we are.”He sighed. “I have never felt fear in a while, Yulia,” He said. “But when it comes to you, that's all I feel. I am afraid of what might happen after everything we do comes to light and I still do. However, I am done hiding you from the world.”It was a bit refreshing to know that Issa could feel afraid and I admired the fact that he was willing to talk about it. I understood his p
~ISSAI did not need to guess who was behind this to know that it was Pete and his father. I could taste their disgusting scent on my tongue.“I guess Albus was right,” Jamal said. “The killings were just a distraction.”“So, Pete was in on it from the start?” Yulia asked, her voice tinged with rage. “That means his whole reason for befriending me back then was so he could deliver me to whoever wants me dead.”I felt vindicated. “I knew the son of the Swine was a piece of shit the moment I laid eyes on him.”“The Swine?” Jamal asked as he looked at me. He was probably pissed that I knew one more thing that he did not know.“A drug dealing werewolf mob,” I said with a shrug. “Pete is the son of their leader, Thaddeus.”People were already coming into the house to pack up the bodies into the ambulances.“Care to explain why a drug dealing werewolf mob just dumped ten dead bodies in your house?”“It is kind of complicated to explain,” I replied as I looked around the house. I knew that Y
~YULIABloodshed was becoming second nature to me as I watched the heart burn. It did nothing to change how I felt about Mom’s death but at least I was sated that the people behind her murder were dead. Yet it seemed like there was still one person to find.“Let’s get out of here,” Issa said and held out his clean palm. I took it and he led me out of the dead lawyer’s apartment. I felt like there was something I needed to do. We were a few feet from the house before I stopped and turned back to it.“What is it?” Issa asked as concern masked his face.“I need to do something,” I told him. “What?” He asked.“I need to burn this place to the ground,” I told him. “It is the only way that I can move forward with my life. This house was built on the kindness of my mother, I need to raze it to the ground.” I told him.He nodded. “The fireplace,” he said. “We can set something on fire, a pillow, anything and spread it all over the place.”I shook my head. “I have a much better idea,” I sai
~ISSA“Shut up,” I muttered angrily as I drove to the lawyer’s house.“Who are you talking to?” Yulia asked with a puzzled look on her face.“He is taunting me,” I told her. Iran had been laughing nonstop in my head ever since he fought his way out and unleashed hell on those witches. I could do nothing as he took control of my body while I was forced to take the back seat and helplessly watch.I still had the taste of blood in my mouth and I fought the gag that was taking place in my throat.“Is it always like this?” Yulia asked. “I have been dealing with Iran since I was a boy, Yulia,” I said with a sigh. “He has been my curse for as long as I can remember,” I added.“Was that how you fought against magic?” She asked. “Because I know that Werewolves are fast but magic is faster.”She was right. Magic was very effective against wolfkind and even more lethal if the magic user was very powerful. “Magic works against me, and it hurts like hell, but with Iran, it's like pain is what h
~YULIABlood, burnt flesh and death was all I could see after the whole carnage settled. I saw a part of Issa that he did not show anyone, not even his pack. I saw the Issa that was full of regret and denial. I saw him look around in disbelief, I saw him almost throw up as he spat blood and flesh out of his mouth in disgust. There was blood in his hair, flesh hanging from his body and his clothes were badly burnt. The only piece of clothes that was still intact on his body was his trousers. He sighed and reached for his phone in his pocket with a blood-stained hand.“Who are you going to call?” I asked curiously. “The clean-up crew,” He answered in a monotone. He refused to look at me while he made the call.“Clean up at the downtown bar,” He said curtly. “Bring new clothes.”I had seen the clean up crew once at Lana’s place when someone had broken into her place and almost killed her. He looked at his phone which was now coated in blood before he returned it to his pocket.He loo
