~YULIA
All these time, I had strongly believed that Issa blamed me for my mother’s death but–
Here he was in tears with a hard expression etched on his face as he revealed his deep regrets to me. I had been deeply hurt when he jerked in surprise after I had asked him the question.
Yet here I was right now, my legs wrapped around his waist, my arms wrapped around his neck and my mouth locked on his lips. Our hearts began to beat as one as he held me close to him, too scared to let me go, lest I disappear too from existence..
One of his hands found its way under my school uniform and squeezed my right breast and I sighed into his mouth. I had missed his touch these past few days and I could not wait to ravage him. I felt his beast call to me as I ran my hands through his thick curly long hair. They were
~YULIA"Hey. . ." A stranger called and it made my wolf dance with excitement. I dropped my glass of tequila and looked up, only to be met with eyes so green they made my wolf stir with desire."Hey." A small smile played on my lips. His smile grew wider when he saw that I had not chased him away. He helped himself unto the next seat and waved at the bartender. "I'd like a glass of what she's having and more for her," he instructed. There was something about the way he spoke that messed with my thought process. I downed my glass of tequila to hide the hunger slowly growing on my face. "Having a bad day?" He asked as he turned to stare at me again. I swallowed hard at the question as I thought of my mother's funeral which I had literally escaped from and somehow ended up here. "You have no idea," I whispered and watched as the bartender poured me some more. "That makes two of us," he announced and downed his glass of tequila in the same way that I had done. "Best for us to enjo
~YULIA"Who are you?" He smirked as he tucked my stray hair behind my ear. "I am yours. . ." I swallowed hard as I felt my wolf stir at his choice of words. Heat scattered from my stomach to the rest of my body and I knew that the rate at which I was burning was becoming dangerous. "So why are you hesitating? Why are you holding back when you can just give in to me?" He whispered as he slowly started leaning closer to me. The pounding of my heart grew even louder and I was almost deafened from the sounds but I stopped him so that I could speak first. "The only way that you can be mine is if you're my mate," I muttered. "I don't feel the mate bond." He smiled. "You'll feel it soon." With that, he crashed his lips against mine and I froze at the sudden contact. I would have pushed him away had it felt disgusting and irritating. Yet I did not because I was shocked by the fact that it was nothing of what I thought it would be. The music seemed to get even slower as if he had comm
~YULIAMy heart was hammering hard as I ran out the exit door. It took a lot of time to get my breathing to be even. It did not help that I was still running even after leaving the club. Street lamps were my only form of light since the crescent moon was not bright enough. I could have stopped in front of the club to wait for a cab but I was too worried that the mysterious gentleman would follow me outside and easily find me. It was a miracle that I had escaped him despite feeling all these emotions. And I was sure that if he somehow showed up before me again, then there would be no way that I could resist him. "Damn, no one told me that older men were this delicious," I muttered to myself.My phone buzzed again and this time, I stopped to pick up. After all, I felt assured that the mysterious man could no longer find me again. I had given the club enough distance that I could no longer see it. "Mr Rogers," I began the moment I picked up the call."Where are you, child? You have
~YULIAI dragged myself out of bed. "Ah, my head. . ." I cried as I massaged my temples. It was banging from all the alcohol that I had taken.Last night had been crazy. Everything about it was wrong and I was still trying to wrap my head around it. From the mysterious man to the crimson eyes in the dark, to the men who chased me and Mr Rogers who appeared with a gun shooting them. Nothing made sense to me anymore. I entered the shower and allowed the water to wash away all of my doubts. As if that was possible. I eventually stepped out of the bathroom, cleaned myself dry before throwing on some clean clothes. I chose a big t-shirt and a pair of shorts. I did not even bother to dry my dark hair before hurrying out of my room for breakfast. I heard voices even before I got to the kitchen. One of them belonged to Mr Rogers while the other belonged to Madelaine, our house keeper. I entered the kitchen and dragged a seat whip glaring daggers at Mr Rogers. I had dozens of questions f
~YULIAMy wolf came alive as I took in every aspect of his features. It was the same dark clothes. The same dark hair. The same dangerous and mysterious aura from last night. Worst, his green eyes seemed to bore into my soul as he approached us. My wolf began to dance with excitement as I remembered my escapades with him. The way his fingers assaulted my softness. The way his lips almost transported me to another realm. What was this man doing here? How did he know that this was were I lived?Was he a stalk— I gasped. "I knew you would be shocked by his existence but isn't this reaction too much?" Lana asked."Girl! He's the same guy I met at the club yesterday. He followed me!" I exclaimed in disbelief. That was when the beautiful stranger reached us and smiled. "I didn't expect to meet you here," he whispered and his voice affected my wolf.But today, I refused to fall under his spell. He could not make me do anything stupid with that charming face of his. "Yeah right, you exp
~ISSA"This is Lycan Issa, Mariana's stepbrother— your uncle. . ."My heart sank to the deepest part of my core as I realised who this beautiful yet rebellious woman was. I felt my beast begin to stir with protest. I had not seen this coming. I had not expected the events to turn on me this way. How could she be the same child I was supposed to look after? I was expecting to see a little child, not a full-grown woman! I blinked multiple times as I stared at Yulia. Her stormy gray eyes contorted and she looked away immediately, running into her friend's arms, perhaps hoping that the poor girl could help her disappear. I thought of last night and my wolf jumped. How could the woman I had kissed so passionately be my niece?What sort of a sick game was this? Memories of the way I touched her danced in my mind. Memories of all the obscene things I had imagined I would do to her when I finally found her replayed in my head. These things were not even healthy. Yet, she turned out to
~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

~ISSAI could feel the tension in her body as we drove.She was vibrating with anxiety as I pulled into the garage. The ride home had been silent for the most part and I knew it was because she was in deep thought. I had to let her know some things and I was not sure how she was processing them. I hated being this worried.I knew that enrolling her at Canis had been a bad idea but it was the only place that was suitable for her. Before Marianna had been killed, Yulia had been schooling at a college for humans. I had been against it but my late sister had wanted Yulia to experience a
~YULIAI did not even feel any iota of remorse as I watched Andrea lose her shit.I was a bit caught off guard by how fast her hand almost came to hitting me. Why were the Craven sisters so fast with violence?“She almost killed me first, it was self-defence,” I said to Andrea but I doubted if she was even listening.“So, you burnt her face in self-defence too? Is that what you are trying to tell me?” She asked in a rage-filled voice.“It was an accident, Andrea and if you want to blame someone, try the professor who started the class in the first place,” Issa said in a calm tone.“Of course, you will come to her defence, what else did I expect?” Andrea said in a s
~ISSAI had a lot of questions for her but I knew that I had to thread carefully.I had seen the scroll she was reading and I knew that she was beginning to look for answers about who she was. I knew the time would come when I would no longer be able to hide the truth from her.If Marianna was here, she would be smirking at me right now. She had always wanted to reveal Yulia’s origin but I had been against it because I knew that there were forces out there who wished her harm. A lot of people had plans… evil ones for Yulia and I needed to shield her from them.I used to believe that the less she knew about herself, the better but now that her dormant powers were manifesting, there was no point in hiding the truth any more. She was not stupid.“I am s
~YULIAI had been hiding in the library for the past thirty minutes after my fight with Leia.I was still trying to make sense of what happened as I stared hard at my hands. They were no longer glowing. I was seated at a corner where nobody would see me unless they paid close attention. Different books were open and scattered across the table I sat behind. I was deep in research or should I say trying to understand what was going on with me.I closed my hands again and grunted trying to make them light up but only a fart threatened to escape my butt, so I stopped. How did it even happen? Was it rage? Was it my wolf, Yara? Or was it Iran? Because I had felt Issa’s Lycan companion at the fringes of my mind, and I suspected that he was behind my outburst of light.I could no longer feel him anymore but I knew that it was not going to be the last time I would experience such rage. I was bonded to one of the most ruthless and deadly Lycan of the territory and it had come with some power
~ISSAI pulled up into the parking lot of Canis Academy and killed the engine. I sighed and turned to Andrea, watching her very closely.“You need to be with someone who cares about you, Andrea,” I told her. “I am no longer that person.”“This is the effect of your bond with Yulia. It means that you have no eye for other women in your life,” Andrea said. I detected a hint of sadness in her voice. All these could end if only she tried to find her own mate but she was just literarily fucking around just to piss off her distant father.“Believe me, I am still surprised by it,” I replied, which was the truth. Before Yulia, I would have bent Andrea over at the back seat and ravaged her with my cock but now that Iran had marked Yulia, the sexual attraction that I had for Andrea was gone… like it was never there in the first place.Andrea sighed and shook her head. A small sad smile played on her face. “We used to fuck each other’s brains out everywhere. The bathroom, the park, the dressin
~ISSAI needed to get to Yulia immediately. I just had to find a way to get rid of Andrea and this idiot of an assistant vice president. Mark was currently on his knees massaging Andrea’s right foot. He had the look of a defeated man and I was certain that he had learnt his lesson. I stood up from where I sat and dropped my unfinished drink on the cabinet before I went to my desk. I put in the password to access the computer before opening the dark web where all of Mark’s money was kept.I had kept it all in an offshore account. I transferred all his money back into his account. All sixty million dollars in total.“Check your account,” I said curtly.Mark hastily got up from where he knelt and frantically reached into his inner suit jacket for his phone. He heaved a sigh of relief as he saw the numbers and ran to embrace me. I flinched from his touch but I did not push him off.“Oh, thank you, thank you, I promise from now on to be a team player, you will hear no complaint from me e
~YULIAI was not expecting to be helped but then again, I was not expecting to be humiliated. My face felt hot as I struggled to breathe. “Face your opponents and focus,” Jamal’s voice roughly rang out and the sparring session continued. “That’s it?” Leia asked mockingly. I got up to my feet and I felt so much pain on my left rib. My breathing was getting easier but the rage that was boiling up in me was another issue. Yara was growling in agitation as I resumed my stance.“Atta, girl,” Leia said with a cruel smile. “Try to last longer this time,” She added arrogantly.Jamal passed us as he spoke. “You are not only connecting with your wolf, you must also trust your instinct, you must become one with the core of your wolf, that is the only way to secure victory over your opponent.”I was not going to make that mistake of taking my eyes off her again. I called to Yara to give me strength. Although I still felt the warm embrace of rage throbbing all over me. My nose was filled with
~ISSAI realized that I made a grave mistake showing Andrea that I knew what she was up to.I knew because she slammed the door shut, instead of leaving my office and stubbornly took a seat on the arranged sofa beside my small library of books.I sighed wearily as I went to the small cabinet that I installed in my office by the desk and poured myself and her a drink from a bottle of my best vodka. I did not drink much and it was just there for show. However, sometimes, I invited people over to celebrate with me any time we hit or surpassed a profit margin in the company.Most people was Deucalion.I handed her the drink and held on to mine as I took a seat beside her. Andrea looked genuinely sad as she sipped the alcohol but I had no sympathy for her.
