The 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.

FATED TO MY UNCLE 54. THE CHALLENGE BEFORE THE BATTLE
~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.

~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“We should go,” I whispered to Issa as I pulled him towards the door. He was still gazing at Deucalion with eyes of steel and I had to pull him a bit before he reluctantly moved.As we reached the door, Deucalion called after us, his voice infuriating as he spoke. “Tell her who she really is, Issa, she deserves to know that much before we come for her.”I wanted us out of there before Issa unleashed his unstable wolf at everyone in the house. Simmering with rage, Issa literally stomped down stairs and I followed him.“Issa! Wait,” Iris called after us. But Issa did not stop and neither did I. “Please!” Iris persisted. “What?” Issa thundered as he turned around. Even I was a bit startled by his angry outburst. Andrea was beside her sister with an embarrassed look. “You know that we mean you no harm, right?” Iris said. “We had no idea he was hiding such a dark secret from us.”“Tell him to prepare himself, if he believes that I am just going to take this without a fight, he s

~YULIAI felt a bit light headed as those words left Deucalion's mouth. Helena Craven was the first child of light. But it still did not explain why she wanted me dead. Or what she needed my blood for.“I think I need a drink,” Andrea broke the silence and went to her father’s cabinet. Iris had a distracted look while Leia just kept quiet. “How did she lose her powers?” Issa asked.“She was born with those powers, Issa. And she could do amazing things with them. She could burn anything to a crisp just like Ms. Moonshadow here almost did to Iris,” Deucalion said. “And if we are going to continue this discussion, I think you should tell her what her real name is and her family.”He said this to Issa. I looked at Issa. “What is he talking about?” “That is between me and her, Deucalion, not in front of your daughters,” Issa replied curtly. ‘I will tell you everything when we get home, not here,’ he mentally told me. I understood his precaution. The less the craven sisters knew about

~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.”
FATED TO MY UNCLE 139. FRIEND AND FOE
~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
FATED TO MY UNCLE 138. THE DEAD MEN
~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
