FATED TO MY UNCLE 53. HOPE FOR A LYCAN
~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

~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

~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.

FATED TO MY UNCLE 96. DINNERS AND GRUDGES II
~YULIA“Issa, how nice of you to grace us with your presence,” A middle-aged, yet very attractive woman who possessed dirty blonde hair that was neatly styled– said as she approached us.“Hesta, this is Yulia,” Issa said as he took my waist possessively. Hesta was dressed in a dark pencil skirt that clung to her waist and legs as if it was a second skin. She wore a silk cream blouse that she tucked neatly into the skirt. She had on Chanel red bottom heels. She looked simple yet fabulous. And I knew at first glance that she was no ordinary woman. She was a witch.“Hello,” I said politely.“My oh my, she is a pretty one,” Hesta said as she washed her eyes over my body as if I was a merchandize. “You really know how to pick your women.” A mischievous smile played on her face and Issa had to clear his throat. “She is my niece, control your thoughts, Hesta.” “Please, Issa, you may be able to fool a lot of people but you can not fool me, the way you described her is how a lover would d
FATED TO MY UNCLE 95. DINNER AND GRUDGES
~YULIA‘Can’t wait to see you tonight.’ Leia’s text read and I groaned wearily. I just could not catch a break with her. I exited my message app to see what class I was having next. I decided against it and texted Issa instead.‘You were right, they don’t like you.’ I texted.I looked up from my phone and stared at the ceiling, wondering how long it was going to take Issa to respond. And as if on cue, my phone buzzed.‘Did they suspect anything?’ He texted back.I smiled at the fact that I was truly important to him to have him answer this fast. I tried not to draw attention to myself as I slowly walked down the hall with no destination in mind. Then I looked back at my phone and finally made sense of his words without putting my feelings for him forward. ‘No, we’re good, and I met the chancellor.’ ‘Albus, that old fool.’ He replied.‘Why do you have a problem with everyone?’ It baffled me how he was always at odds with almost everyone that I had come across lately.‘It’s a long st
FATED TO MY UNCLE 94. THE SANCTUM OF SECRETS
~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
FATED TO MY UNCLE 93. THE OTHER WOMAN
~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
FATED TO MY UNCLE 92. THE CANIS BOARD
~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
FATED TO MY UNCLE 90. THE RESCUED ONE
~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
FATED TO MY UNCLE 89. UNKNOWN ORIGIN
~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
FATED TO MY UNCLE 88. DARKNESS UPRISING
~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
