~YULIA"What are my choices?" I hated it. I hated this moment. I hated the world. I hated fated for playing this sick game on me. My wold danced restlessly in mind and it was taking a lot from me just sitting here in the same room with him and pretended everything was fine. In reality, I wanted to scream. I wanted to roar. I wanted to cry, but I could not do any of those things. I could only hold myself together until this meeting was over and hope that I come out triumphant. Issa turned his green eyes to him. "You can either agree to come with me and I'll give you all the protection you need, pending the time it will take until I find all the people after you. . ." He trailed. "Then you can come back home." I sat up instantly as I shot him wide eyes. "How long is it going to take until you find them?" My heart began to race as I waited for an answer. This arrangement was not so bad. If it was something that would take just one or two months, then I could swallow my pride and ac
~ISSA"How do you intend on living in the same house with the girl you almost banged at the club last night?" He askedI shot him a stare. He had chosen a white shirt and blue jeans today. He had always liked things that made him look younger. He was my best friend— the only person I trusted in the world as well as my Beta. Perhaps, this was the reason why he had the guts to ask me this question. "I'll ignore her and move my attention to someone or something else, Miles." I assured myself it was possible even if my wolf stirred in protest. The sun was beginning to set and it was a beautiful sight. We were leaning against my car as we waited for my supposed niece to make her decision. "You and I both know that once you become obsessed with a woman, you won't get over her until you bury your damned cork into her." There was so much confidence in his voice that it got on my nerves. How could he be so sure that living with her would be pure torture for me?"She's my fucking niece for
~YULIAA loud crash exploded in my left ear and I screamed."Yulia!" I heard Issa yell.I looked up to see that I was fine. There was no blood and I was still whole. My body was still intact.So what had hit the window?"What was that?" I heard the Beta ask."Whatever you do, keep the window panes up, Miles." Issa was now glaring out the window as he tried to figure out what had happened.Suddenly, another thing crashed against my window, this time, on my right. I yelped and ducked my head while shooting my hands over my ears on impulse. "Shit! We're under attack! We're been ambushed!" The Beta exclaimed. "Ambushed?" I exclaimed as I braved looking up. That was when I saw the cars chasing after us from behind. My hand came to my mouth as I registered all the men poking their heads out, carrying cannon-like-guns on their hands, ready to shoot out whatever they had shot twice now. "Holy goddess! Holy goddess! We're doomed! There's too many of them. Unless you're the best and fastest
~YULIA"Who exactly are you?" My voice came out shakier than I had expected. My wolf began to come back to the surface after abandoning me to my fate earlier. There was no response from either of them. They just ignored me as if I had not breathed a word. Miles was helping him clean off the blood from his hands, but the ones on his clothes were there to stay. "You played with the weather. You summoned fogs and you moved at inhumane speed. How is that a wolf's ability?" I dared to ask. They refused to say a word to me. Miles brought the car to life and zoomed off. I spied on Issa from the mirror. He looked distant. He looked as if it was only his shell that was left behind. I wanted to ask more questions but since they were both playing mute, I decided to keep it for when we would arrive at his house. After all, they could not remain mute forever. I folded my arms as I sank deeper into my chair. The silence was awkward and I wanted to stretch badly as well as call Layla but I di
~YULIA“Iran…” I trailed, realizing I was face to face with Issa’s beast.The air suddenly turned cold and my intake of breath became shaky as I instantly began to tremble. His aura was alluring yet dreadful. I wanted to run— to move as fast as my feet could take me but I was rooted on the spot and I soon realized that I could not feel my feet. My wolf danced with excitement though, almost as if she was not affected by my fear and was more interested in what she would gain from this bond. I felt blood rush through me as she made me take in every detail of his body. From his glowing eyes to his seductive features, my wolf wanted him. Yet I wanted to fight the feelings that were boiling up within me. My thoughts were a scattered mess. I felt as if I was torn between two worlds— one where I wanted him and one where I could not stand him. “Yulia,” he whispered, his voice calm yet filled with authority, making my wolf do a sudden flip.I tried to speak, but my tongue felt twisted. The
~YULIAThe sun broke through the window blinds, filling the room with golden rays as I opened my eyes slowly— not fully awake. My head was hammering, a slight headache, living rent-free in it.The bed seemed strange, it felt like a thousand year old brick wrapped around with pieces of bug eaten foams joined together with glue.I moved my hands about it trying to locate my phone which I always kept under my pillow when it suddenly struck me, this wasn’t my bed."Where the fuck am I?"My eyes flew open and jumped off it, my heart thumping hard in my chest. Only when my feet touched the floor did I realize that everything in the room was different.Memories of yesterday's events came rushing back. From the moment I realized that the sexy man I almost made out with in the club was my uncle to the journey home with him, getting attacked by those weird men and my encounter with Iran.It filled me with dread."Fuck, it was no dream. It was all real. . ." I sighed heavily when I felt a sudde
~ISSAI walked out of the dining room and out the house.Since Yulia showed up in my life, my mind has been a hell of a mess. Meeting her at the dining table this morning intensified the battle in me, as keeping Iran in had become extremely difficult.“You look like you had shit for breakfast, Issa,” Miles chuckled.I shot him a hard glare which silenced the laughter the chuckle was turning into.He was also dressed in an all black outfit, just like me. It was a color we both loved to wear, especially whenever we were going on a raid or we had a risky mission at hand.“Always playing the tough guy, yet deep down you and I know it’s just a facade,” he teased further, running to the other side of the car as I raised my hands to grab him.“Sometimes, it feels as if you forget your place. I'm still your Lycan King and you answer to me. You had better watch your mouth or I might be forced to do the horrific things I reserve for my victims,” I bawled in the darkest tone, watching fear take
~ISSA“Miles!” I screamed as I raced down the stairs.The speed at which I moved was deadly, I was literally flying down the stairs rather than running down them. Such that, if anything or anyone were to appear on my path, then they would be knocked down instantly.“Miles!” I called out again the moment my feet touched the bottom of the stairs.Silence. No movement. Only emptiness. My heart was thumping hard against my chest now. I feared that harm had befallen my Beta and friend. Or was this just another prank of his? Yes, Miles was sometimes overly playful but he knew when to stop and he would never joke about something like this. I shook my head at the thought and walked back to the lobby. I stood at its center and just stared around closely, hoping to catch something—anything that I might have missed. "Miles!" I tried again but the response was the same as before. Silence. The eerie feeling from earlier still hung above the house, almost as if it was waiting for the perfect
~IRISMy heart skipped as my eyes moved slowly over his body. I had to admit, I never thought Issa's loyal little dog had a body as alluring as this. His chest was solid and perfectly formed from years of working on them. And as my eyes fell over his cock, I swallowed hard as I felt my wolf stir with desire. Not even Issa had gotten this type of reaction from me before. I wanted to touch his cock, I wanted to put it in my mouth and I wanted to memorise the feel of it inside of me. An involuntary shiver ran over my body and I instantly snapped out of the strange trance that I had entered. "My eyes are up here," I instantly said when I saw that he was taking in my nakedness. He smirked. "Done checking me out? You like what you see?" I shot him a glare. The last thing I had expected was that he would tease me. "There's nothing to see. Besides, why are you in this bathroom, you pervert!" I snapped. His smirk only got wider. "First off, this is my house. I can use any bathroom I s
~MILESI was beginning to panic as I sped down the road. There were a few cars on the road but I easily maneuvered my way through them. This was because Jamal Khan kept getting paler than he already was. He was sweating all over and he was not even speaking. I could not have him die on me. How was I supposed to explain it?"Shit, you better hold on, you fool! I shouldn't have listened to you. I should have taken you to the hospital first!" I roared as I threw a glance at him through the rearview mirror. It was either he was too weak to reply or he had already passed out. "Hey! Talk to me! You need to keep speaking. Tell me about Lana, you bastard. If you fucking die on me, I'll butcher your corpse into pieces and that's a threat!" A small weak chuckle escaped his lips as he wheezed loudly in an attempt to take in a deep breath. "If you. . . Butcher my corpse, my ghost will haunt you to death. . ."I smiled and my tremors reduced when I heard his voice. I was almost at the hospit
~IRISThe force of the explosion knocked me off my feet. Luckily, my fall was in warm hands. Miles must had seen the explosion coming because he swiftly lifted me off the ground and shielded me with his body. All I felt was warmth as I stayed under him and when the noise subsided, he released me and I looked up once again to be met with his calm brown eyes. I froze in place, not knowing what to say before he pulled me to my feet. That was when I remembered that Andrea and Khan had been right in the front. "Andrea!" I screamed as I started running toward them.There was blood on the floor, pooling from one of them and it terrified the shit out of me. On getting to the spot, I realised that Khan had taken a hit to his gut while protecting my sister. The broken glass still laid in his guts and I knew that pulling it out was going to make him bleed out. "Andrea," I cried as I knelt before her to examine for any new injuries but there was none to be worried about. Khan grunted in pai
~IRIS I had never felt this helpless in my entire life. Rage burned through my soul as I ran toward the cross, not caring that there could be a sort of trap somewhere waiting for me. My wolf howled in pain and I felt as if I had been crippled just seeing Andrea in this state. "Andrea, wait!" I heard Miles scream but I was too angry to listen. "Get her down, please!" I heard the bitch Yulia say to Issa no doubt. By the time I reached the cross, Issa had already gotten there. He moved at great speed as he climbed up the cross and began to tear the things bounding Andrea off. In no time, he was lowering her into my arms. "Andrea! It's me!" I cried as I tapped her cheeks continuously but there was no response.I felt as if my world was about to end. "She's not responding!" I cried. Detective Khan reached the scene with Miles and Yulia following closely behind. "Let me see," Khan stated and knelt before her. "Don't touch her and act like you care!" I suddenly barked as hot tear
~ISSAYulia looked pale. She looked afraid and I hated that she was plagued by fear. I wanted her to know that there was no reason to be scared with me by her side. ‘If you had taken out every trace of Helena that day, then none of this would have happened. Fucking coward!’ Iran roared within me. I gritted my teeth in an attempt to bite him down. That was when Yulia moved her lips like she was about to speak. "I—" My phone suddenly buzzed and I took it out to see that it was a call from Iris. Why the fuck was Iris calling me?"Who is it?" Yulia asked. "Iris," I answered. "I'll ignore it." "Answer her!" Albus suddenly cut in as he frowned as if he had seen something. The urgency in his voice startled me and I answered the call. "Issa, it's Andrea! They— she. . .I—" She was wailing. She sounded terrified. I had never heard her this vulnerable before. "Calm down, Iris. Where are you?" "A— at our house," she stuttered. "I'm coming over immediately." I ended the call and rose t
~YULIAI saw the Darkness coming for me. It came in the form of a large intimidating shadow and it consumed all the light in its vicinity. I tried to run. I tried to move my legs but nothing happened. I remained rooted to the ground, watching in horror as it came for me.It screeched and I winced at the sound. My entire body began to tremble. I was sweating all over. The darkness reached me and that was when adrenaline shot through my veins and broke me out of the captivity of the Darkness' presence. My legs began to move and I ran for it. But the Darkness did not seem to like it. It screeched and the sound threatened to force me down on my knees. Yet I fought it with all my might and I was almost running off when I felt something cold close around my left leg. Once its grip was firm, it pulled my leg and my balance gave way. I saw the ground getting closer and I finally fell face first onto the ground. I cried out in pain and began to fight against the Darkness' hold but it wa
~JAMALShe had a mischievous smile on her face. The action looked a lot like what Yulia would do and I understood why they were such good friends. They were very similar. "Why do I feel as if I just sold my soul to the devil?" I asked with a smile. She grinned at me. "Not your soul, pretty boy. You just signed your cock over to me." Then she instantly got off her chair and came to kneel before me. I widened my eyes at her. "What are you doing?" Her smile grew wider. "You gave me permission and access over your body so corporate." He laughed. "You look like you're going to rape me." She kept her grin without a word and began to untie the strings keeping my pants in place. "I know you will enjoy this a lot. I've heard you masturbating with my name." I flinched. Was I so careless that I let her hear that?"Don't worry, I've done the same countless times and I can finally make it real." I widened my eyes at the girl kneeling before me. She was no longer just the girl I was prote
~JAMALI had a feeling the night was going to turn out the way that was in Issa's favor. . .and it did. That Bastard Issa had it all planned out, which was why he never let pride drop the entire time. I was more concerned about how he always got his information. I was convinced he had secret agents everywhere sourcing out information for him from the shadows. Perhaps an organisation. There was no doubt with that Lycan. I shook my head and laughed. I didn't tell Issa this but he had gained my respect tonight. He handled everything seamlessly and even managed to name a big traitor the same night. Thumbs up but quite a shame for me seeing as I wasn't the one who brought the reveal forward. My phone buzzed as if on cue. I looked down to see the Caller ID as HQ. I pulled over by the side of the road and answered. "Is what I heard true, Khan?" His deep voice sliced through the air. "What exactly did you hear?" I asked, keeping my cool. He might be my boss but he couldn't intimidate
~YULIAIssa smiled as he stood naked before me. I got comfortable on the bed, rested my back against the bedpost and parted my legs deliberately as an invitation for him to come over. His smile grew wider as he slowly climbed on the bed. He slowly crawled to me before kneeling between my legs. I looked up at him and he reached out to touch my cheeks."How naughty you are, little girl," he whispered. I corked my brows at him in amusement. "Little girl? Where's that coming from?" He leaned over and crashed his lips against mine. He nibbled on my lower lip deliberately slowly before he pulled away and stared down at me. "What?" I laughed. He shook his head and began to kiss me again, this time deeper than before. His hands came to my waist while I held his face in my palms as he leaned closer to me, such that his cock was brushing my stomach. He pulled away again and smiled at me. Yara stirred at the sight of his smile. "Will you stop doing that?" He chuckled. "Sometimes, I find
