'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
~YULIAShe was the last person I expected to see and I hated that I had to deal with her again.I was not sure how many more surprises I could take as I sat gloomily in Davina's office while Issa and his older friend Deucalion sat by my side."I do not see why you are here, Deucalion," Davina began. "You just left this office moments ago.""I did not get a chance to marvel at that angry face of yours earlier," Deucalion wore a wide smile as he watched her. "Flattery will get you nowhere, Alpha Deucalion. Your daughter has just one strike left before expulsion." Davina remained firm.That was when I began to wonder what Leia actually did."I am sure she will behave herself, Davina," Deucalion replied smoothly. "Now, why is she here?" Davina asked, looking at me with open disdain. I knew at that moment that we were never going to get along."To enrol," Issa replied. "Why else would she be here?""But does she want to enrol here or do you want her to enrol here, Lycan Issa?" Davina sh
~YULIA"Yulia, didn’t think I’d run into you here." Jamal Khan smiled at me.Before I could answer, Issa stepped forward and spoke. "Are you following me, Detective Khan? Is that how you conduct your investigation?""Issa," I whispered, looking around and hoping we were not attracting attention. "Not here.""There is no need to be hostile, Issa," Jamal said. "We are on the same side now.""And which side is that?" Issa asked."The side where we keep Yulia safe," He replied. "Thank you but I am doing that already," Issa replied. "Why are you really here?""I lecture here when I have no cases to work on," Jamal replied.I widened my eyes at him in disbelief. "Wait! You lecture here?"I did not know why I was feeling excited by the news."Since when?" Issa asked, his voice demanding."Since I moved into this territory," Jamal said. He looked at his watch. "I am almost late for a class, see you around, Yulia, I look forward to seeing you in my class.""What do you teach?" I asked."Lycan
~YULIA.Issa’s voice held a soft warning as he looked down at me.His dark eyes flickered with the faintest hint of disapproval. “You didn’t have to be rude to them,” he murmured, just loud enough for me to hear. “Those students will be your classmates soon. Connections matter here, Yulia, especially if you’re linked to me.”I crossed my arms, leaning against the smooth stone wall of the academy corridor, feeling the coolness seep through the fabric of my sleeve. “Friends? What for?” I said, trying to keep my voice steady, though a spark of defiance flickered within. “Whoever wants me dead isn’t going to spare anyone I get close to. They’ll just use them to get to me.”Issa sighed, his gaze softening slightly as he studied me. “Yulia, it doesn’t have to be that way.” He took a step closer, close enough that I could feel his warmth, the energy radiating off him. His voice dropped, growing more intense. “I brought you here to keep you safe, and I want you to have allies—people you can r
~ISSAThe car hummed beneath us as I drove Yulia back from Canis Academy, the dim headlights cutting through the early dusk settling over the city.Silence filled the space between us, charged with an energy I couldn’t quite shake, an odd blend of tension and something warmer that made my pulse quicken. I tightened my grip on the steering wheel, trying to keep my focus on the road, but my thoughts kept returning to the way I’d acted earlier in the library, the way I’d laid claim to her, spoken to Pete like he had no right to so much as look her way.I stole a glance at her. She sat beside me, leaning back in her seat with an air of casualness, her eyes trained on the passing trees outside. And yet, I sensed her awareness of me, felt her tension almost as if it was my own.
~YULIAI stood in the heart of Canis Academy, watching the students swirl around me, each occupied with their own world.The campus was nothing short of impressive, with imposing gothic towers and sprawling green lawns that seemed to stretch endlessly. This place was built to house and mould creatures of power, and I was about to become a part of it.I took a slow, deep breath, willing my heart to calm. Today was the start of something I could barely wrap my mind around, and I felt a strange, hesitant excitement buried under layers of worry. It wasn’t just the pressure of the unknown; it was the people, the stares, the whispers. I knew I wasn’t exactly welcome here, but I had to push that aside, at least for today.The main building loomed ahead, its colossal structure
~ISSA.The city stretched out below my office window in a sprawl of lights and movement.I barely noticed the view, though—the sight had long lost its appeal. Instead, my mind drifted, unwillingly, back to Yulia. Her scent lingered in the air, soft and warm, even hours after I’d dropped her off at Canis Academy. I knew it was just my mind playing tricks, but I could swear I still felt her presence beside me.I leaned back in my chair, trying to focus on the code filling the screen in front of me. The lines of numbers and commands usually offered some sort of refuge, a place where logic ruled and there was no room for the complications of blood, bonds, or the maddening ache that seemed to settle in my chest every time I thought of her. But even the familiar rhythm of coding wasn’t eno
~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
~YULIA I saw their magic. I could literally see the weaves of strings and patterns as they cast their spells. I could see the energy and power of their words as it crashed into Issa. I could see exactly how their magic worked. Was this the ability that came with being a child of light? Was this why everyone wanted my blood?Death and burnt flesh filled the air as I took in everything in my surroundings. Issa’s painful grunt as waves upon waves of magic hit him from all directions was the most vivid of everything. He was pushed onto his knees by the sheer force of magical powers coming from the remaining five witches.The fire had gotten the girl I had knocked out cold. I knew she was dead before she had hit the ground. She was a witch but I was a full-blooded werewolf. My strength was enough to kill her. I had felt the bone in her neck snap violently from my punch. There were five witches left and they had all focused their powers on Issa. I
~ISSA What did Rogers want from my Yulia? What was his end game? Sooner rather than later, we were going to have to meet face to face. “So, it seems like your lawyer has abandoned you,” I said to a quivering Agatha. “Still, I have not been given a reason as to why my sister had to die.”“We can not tell you, Lycan,” Bailey said in a hard tone. “A painful death awaits us if we talk to anyone about it.”“I am guessing going up in flames is part of it?” Yulia asked with deadly sarcasm. Agatha widened her eyes in surprise. “Yeah a few of your people have gone up in flames recently,” I said, confirming her suspicion.“And it seems that you are next in line to go to hell,” Yulia added. “You will tell me why my mother had to die by your hands.”“We can not tell you who leads us although you will be surprised if you do,” Agatha replied. “But Rogers is a big part of it, he has all the answers we cannot give you.”“How predictable, Rogers abandons
~ISSAI felt Iran clawing his way slowly to the surface of my mind. ‘Witch blood,’ he whispered hungrily at the deep ends of my psyche. He and I could feel the tension coming off the bartender. Iran and I could smell her fear as we both watched with dark humour as she thought of her options. She had none.“You need to make up your mind,” Yulia said in a hardened tone. I could feel her rage as she glared at the Bartender. The lady beside me sat rigidly as fear coursed through her. These two women were involved in the death of my beloved sister and I would do anything and everything within my power to make sure that they paid.The bartender looked around at the bar helplessly as it dawned on her slowly and surely. There was no one here to help her. She was cornered. I knew that her right hand was still on the shot gun hidden behind the bar counter but she as well as I knew that it would do nothing to help her. There was a lot at stake and it would be bad for business if word got out
~YULIA“Ward endangerment?” I asked in disbelief. “Is he being serious?” I was beyond confused by the legal action Mr. Rogers took against Issa. “Does he even have the power to do that? He knows you’re a Lycan after all.”Apparently, the letter that had been delivered to Issa came from Mr Rogers. The content made no sense to me. Why did Mr Rogers suddenly want to take him to court?He was the one who convinced me to move in with Issa in the first place. I felt a migraine forming in my head just from thinking about it.“Only if he has a legal interest in your case,” Issa answered as he drove us away from the school. “I knew that slimy son of a bitch was up to something,” Issa added.I looked at him. “Is there anyone you actually like?” “Yeah, you,” he answered as he pressed down on the accelerator, increasing the speed of the car.I noticed the anger in Issa’s eyes even if he was trying to mask it. Anyone would have been angry had they been in our shoes. I was just surprised by how ca
