~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
~YULIA.I’d barely caught my breath from that test before Davina was in front of me, her gaze sharp and unrelenting.She looked me up and down, her expression unreadable as she tapped a manicured finger against her lips.“Well?” I dared to ask, my voice tense. “Did I pass?”She raised one brow, a cool smirk playing on her lips. “It’s still under consideration, Yulia,” she replied, her voice as detached as ever. “But that isn’t your concern right now. You’d do well to focus on learning as much as you can. Now, off to class with you.”Her dismissal stung, and I couldn’t help the scoff that escaped me. “Right. Thanks for the encouragement,&rdquo
~Yulia.As I made my way through the towering bookshelves of the library, a simmering anger still clouded my mind, lingering from my encounter with Pete.His behaviour had been embarrassing, especially since it was my first official day at Canis Academy. The last thing I wanted was to draw attention, and yet, there I’d been—a spectacle for everyone to see. I tried to push the memory aside as I scanned the shelves, searching for the textbooks I needed for my classes.Each book I pulled down seemed larger and heavier than the last. After piling up a stack of nearly five, I decided I’d only carry two and return later for the rest. As I stuffed the books into my backpack, my phone buzzed. Glancing down, I saw a notification with my course timetable, and a sudden wave of panic hit me.My first class was about to start, and I was cutting it close."Great, just what I needed," I muttered under my breath, tightening my grip on my bag and rushing out of the library. I navigated the winding co
~ISSA."I have moved on, Issa, I swear," Yulia said and I believed her. But it did nothing to help the rage that filled my chest."Apparently, Pete has a hard a time believing that," I replied into the phone in a hard angry voice. "I am going to kill him.""Come on Issa, that is too drastic, even for you," Yulia replied.I was in a board meeting with Iris and a few company executives when Leia sent me a video. I had initially ignored it but something just kept bugging me to check it. It was probably due to the fact that Leia was a mischievous teenage werewolf and she was Yulia's age.So I suspected that what she had sent had something to do with my secret Mate. I had seethed with pure unadulterated rage as I watched Pete roughly grab Yulia by the arm.What pissed me off the most was seeing Jamal stepping in and coming to her rescue. That should have been me! Pete or whatever the fuck his name is– was going to pay... with his damn life.'I can not wait to rip out his heart and watch it
~ISSAI knew I was never going to get enough of Yulia as we both left the house.She did not dress like a typical teenage girl— a short skirt, make up and painted nails with heels like every other teenager would have opted for.But no. She dressed like she was going to pick a fight. Black leather jeans that hugged her perfect legs with knee length leather boots. She had on a black V neck t shirt with a black leather jacket that I knew belonged to my sister. I could still smell Marianna's scent on that jacket.It made me feel a little guilty because of what Yulia and I had just done in the living room and several times in the bathroom.I was supposed to be protecting and guarding her like a father but here I was picturing her soft apple shaped ass in my head. I was fighting the ultimate urge to pull her back upstairs, tear off her clothes and bend her over while I rammed my cock into her until I lost my mind and passed out from pleasure."Wow, we are going on that?" She asked excitedl
~YULIAIt was nightfall when I opened my eyes.I was sprawled on top of Issa whose eyes were also open. He had a calm look in his eye as he gazed at me."How long have you been watching me?" I asked as I suppressed a yawn."Since you fell asleep," He answered. "I was afraid to move lest I wake you up. I enjoyed watching you sleep."A smile played on my lips. "That's... creepy.""I am creepy," He said as a smile tugged at his lips.His lips were enticing to look at and I knew that I could not help myself. I brushed my lips against his and sucked on them. I felt his cock stiffen in my pussy.
~YULIAI seductively took the beast with me.I could barely wait to get to the living room as I held on to Issa's cock, leading him towards the couch. By the time we got there, my slit was aching with need as I pushed him roughly on the leather sofa.I hungrily eyed his throbbing cock as he lay splayed on the chair. I spread his legs and knelt down between his thighs. I was salivating and licked my lips as I hungrily stared at his hardness.Even Yara had gone quiet from the intensity of the moment. she had chosen to enjoy everything quietly.His cock was huge and wide and it got me excited with need. I held it in my hands and pumped it up and down. A soft moan escaped his lips and I smiled at the fact that he was reacting to my touch.
~YULIA.This was wrong. Everything about it screamed abomination but by the goddess it felt so good!To the outside world, he was meant to be my uncle– my family– my blood. But to me, he was something so much more. He was my secret sin. My secret lust. He was a beast– my beast to tame.It had been a gamble but I had taken it anyway. In fact, I had no idea if it was going to work but ever since I read the obscure words from the mysterious book Dean Davina showed me, I was seeing things in a whole new light.My visions had changed. I could see things in darkness...and light.As I sat on the work table in his garage, I could see the dark side of Issa Frostwood. Crawling towards me with a need that scared me in his eyes. I could also see Iran beneath his eyes, watching as he slowly stalked towards me on all fours.They were both conscious, Issa and Iran. Two powerful beings in one body. This act among us had gone beyond just mere sex. I was aware of how deadly and dangerous Iran was. I w
~ISSA/IRAN.I had missed how she felt– Her scent– even the smell of her hair drove me wild. I could not lie to myself any longer, I wanted her so very badly. I sniffed her neck deeply. I understood what she meant when she said that I was not making things easy for her. I knew that I was a difficult Lycan and my wolf of a beast was the most unstable creature that ever existed. Iran and I were always at loggerhead because despite the fact that we were one, we never got along.But one thing that we could both agree on was that we wanted our cock in Yulia's warm folds. Iran and I ached with need as Yulia crumbled into us. We could feel her wolf Yara stir with a lustful frenzy as I began to drop soft kisses on her earlobes."Hmmm," She moaned for us. 'Let us share!' Iran growled in my head. I accepted. I had come to realize that if we fought for control over my body, it would ruin the mood and scare Yulia away. A terrified Yulia would not get us what we wanted.Yulia was still in her un
~YULIA.I gasped in shock as I saw Pete writhing on the ground holding his broken arm. It had happened so fast that I had barely blinked."Are you insane!" I screeched in alarm at what Issa had done. I whipped my head to look at him with anger and disbelief. But when our eyes met, his eyes were a crimson shadow but the colors kept switching back to Issa’s forest green ones. And that was when I knew that Iran had taken control for that moment.Leia was not aware of the violence as a smirk was plastered on her face. She was enjoying herself way too much. This could not be happening. Issa grabbed me by my wrist and pulled me with him. I reluctantly followed him until we got to the parking lot where his car waited. I jerked my hand off his hold and glared at him. I was worried about Pete because his arm was really in a horrible state."What the hell was that about?!" I demanded angrily. "I warned him!" Issa snapped back at me. "He had it coming. Nobody threatens you or puts their hand
~YULIA.I felt a tingle on my skin as soon as I entered the ancient library of the academy.It was unusually cold and every breath that I took, I could see the mist. One thing that was very peculiar to me was that there was no librarian to ask for directions.As if the library could read my thoughts, I found myself in an aisle of books on the topic of light. I saw many books that piqued my interest.I saw books on werewolves, I saw books on witches and I saw books on humans. I was about to turn to the next aisle when a book dropped with a loud thud at my feet.'Of Light.' It read and I bent down to pick it up. It was an old book with a broken leather cover and the author was unknown.
~YULIA."You must learn to balance out your human form and wolf form," said the Lecturer as she walked slowly on the podium looking at us. "If you stay too long in your wolf form, it's difficult to transform into your human form and you might be stuck in that wolf form forever."I was in the Lycanthropy and Shape shifting Studies class and the lecturer taking us was a werewolf in her late thirties. She wore a simple white long sleeved shirt with a black knee length skirt and red bottom heels. Her long black hair was tied in a long ponytail.I was trying to concentrate on what the lecturer was saying but my mind was on something else. It was back at the cafe in town where those men burst into flames.I realised that for some reason, I did not think much about that incident. Ma
