FATED TO MY UNCLE 15. THE SECRET PASSAGE
~YULIA It seemed like a dream or perhaps a slight detour from reality. How Issa saw, yet ignored me.In my wildest dreams, I hadn’t imagined him doing something like that. I was hurt and my wolf was on fire, we were literally in a mess— emotionally mostly.‘How could he fucking do this to us?’ Yara— my wolf yelled from within my head. I had wanted to have the upper hand, to give the silent treatment and make him beg but he had beat me at my own game and it made me mad.Or, was this part of his Lycan abilities too? Seeing the future?“Fuck!” I screamed, banging my fists on the table.The maids around looked at me. Their heads had been bowed while Issa walked past, he was feared among his subjects.I stood up in haste, unable to control my emotions any longer. The sight of the food on the table suddenly made my stomach rumble in disgust. Eating was impossible now as I had lost my appetite.“Stupid!” I ranted, kicking the foot of the chair after. Pain didn’t hesitate to do its job, rac

~ISSAThey shrieked as I came at them. One of them sent a vine at Iran's neck but he was fast. He dodged. He was like a blur, escaping all their attacks as he came at them in all his glory. I felt like a spectator, watching everything happen from Iran's eyes. He revealed his claws and grabbed one of the witches. She was cloaked in black just like her companion and she screamed even louder than before. This caught Iran off guard and he released her while trying to shield his ears from the sound. In his moment of weakness, the second witch took up the opportunity and sent a vine of darkness at his neck.Iran groaned as the vine closed around him and I went down on my knees from within. I might have been an observer but I could feel every pain that he felt. The witch pulled us into the darkness while Iran released a roar in an attempt to break free. But the first witch recovered and sent her own vine of darkness to Iran. "Not so tough now. . ." They whispered in a sickening voice t

~YULIAI froze in my tracks as I registered the man who was supposed to be my uncle— before me. Seeing Issa shirtless, wet with sweat— was the last thing I had expected. The emotions in his eyes resembled that of a broken man. It was as if a violent storm was raging within them. They were fixed onto mine in such a way that made my intake of breath unsteady. Suddenly, he took a step toward me and I instinctively backed away. He picked up his pace with an urgency that made me question his intentions. My wolf panicked and I widened my eyes at him, preparing myself— stilling myself for what was to come. Yet when he got close enough, he shocked me with his next move. He pulled me into his arms. He wrapped his arms around me without uttering a word once and my eyes only grew wider. Since when was Issa so caring? Why on earth was he hugging me? And of course, my treacherous wolf began to relax against his warmth. His entire essence filled me and went up my nose in such a way that he

~YULIA"I will rip all your hearts apart!" I jumped in my spot and my mouth instantly went dry. I helplessly watched as all their faces began to turn pale with fear— maids and guards alike. There was no telling what Iran was going to do to them. He was losing control. "Who did it?" He demanded again and his words almost made me lose my balance. I looked from the maids to Issa. Even if someone was willing to say anything, I doubted if they would be able to utter a word under this condition. "Fine, I'll help you decide," he whispered ever so calmly yet in such a dangerous way that my legs refused to move. He grabbed a maid and she began to whimper on the spot. My heart sank when I realised that he was going to kill her. I looked to Miles, hoping that he would intervene but the man remained rooted to his spot. I did not know it when my legs developed a mind of their own and pushed me forward. "Iran!" I yelled and almost slapped myself for daring to confront him.He shot his crims

~ISSAI raced back to my room, my heart pounding so hard— it seemed as though it would disconnect itself from the veins connecting it to the rest of my body.I felt like a character in a horror movie, pursued by a ghost. But in my case, I was running from something— someone who wasn’t present but whose memory haunted my entire existence. As soon as I entered my room, I slammed the door shut so hard that the loud banging sound echoed throughout my room. “Breathe Issa,” I whispered to myself— my hands still on the knob with my forehead resting on the door as I listened to my pounding heartbeat.Slowly, I backed away from the door till I reached my bed and sat on it. I looked down at the key in my hand and my body trembled violently as the thought of him crossed my head again.“Stop!” I screamed as I buried my head in my palms, trying to shut the awful voice playing in my head."You're worthless!" Echoes of his voice rang through my head. "You can't do anything right!" Yelled the voic

~YULIA“I never went to the garden.” I folded my arms at him while shaking my head slowly. He stared straight into my eyes and my wolf danced aggressively within me as his forest green eyes seemed to glow.He was definitely crazy— probably losing his mind.“Can’t you see that you are hurt and there is blood all over your clothes? How do you suppose all that happened?” He demanded softly, his voice gentle like the breeze on a summer night.I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. He was right. There were blood stains on my clothes and my head spun like it was in a wheel.I suddenly felt unsafe and simply wanted to be left alone.He stretched his hands to touch me but I flinched away; scared that he was playing tricks on my mind, scared that he was only looking for a way to ignite a dangerous fire between us, one that wouldn’t be quenched easily.“Don’t touch me!” I yelled and rose to leave his side. But a piercing pain passed through my head and I fell again.I closed my eyes

~ISSA"What? Have you lost your mind?" Yulia screamed and I was taken aback by her outrage. She glared daggers at me and I just knew that if she had the power to burn people with her eyes, then my body would have lit up in flames.“I would never move in with you!” She yelled while getting off the bed this time.She staggered and almost fell. Her fingers were shivering and her face was pale. The drugs the pack healer had administered to her had not finished its work but she just wouldn’t listen.I stood up and wanted to run to her but she darted her fingers at me, signifying me to stop.“Why are you being so stubborn, Yulia? Can’t you see that I am doing all I can for your safety?” My hands were in the air, trying to make her see things from my point of view.As I spoke, I attempted once again at approaching her but for each step I took forward, she retreated two steps back every time.“Stay where you are! Don’t

~YULIAIssa stared back at me nervously. There was an uncertainty within his eyes. He looked like someone who liked to read people and it probably made him furious that he could not easily read me. I sighed inwardly and focused back on the task at hand. I couldn’t believe it myself that I was considering his offer but there was nothing I could do.“Yulia. . .” He took a step closer.His gaze, his eyes. Everything seemed to burn with a passion that made my heart race. There was this look in them that felt so good and awkward at the same time, I just couldn’t name it.Having him stare at me this way made me speechless, gosh! He could literally take my breath away without moving a muscle. “We. . . We would not share the same bed, under no circumstances.”“Really? Is that all you want?” He asked as if he had expected more from me. Shit! I should have been more demanding. Perhaps I pushed my luck to ask for luxury. Stupid Yulia! Yara stirred in disapproval but I did not let that gove

FATED TO MY UNCLE 112. BAIT III
~YULIAA voice in my head was telling me that this was a mistake, but I knew that it was just fear speaking. I had no idea how we were going to go about this but I was confident in Issa’s plan. It was midnight and the only sound in the room was Mile’s munching loudly on the Pizza Issa ordered.“Where are they located?” Jamal asked. “And how the hell did you get this information?” He demanded from Issa who was gazing meditatively into nothing as he slowly paced the room.He stopped pacing and turned to glare at Jamal with a piercing cold look in his eyes. “Jamal,” he began. “I am sure that in your years of being a detective, no one has ever told you or asked you how and when to do your job, please do not ask me how to be a Lycan, I find it insulting.” I covered my mouth to hide my smile. The banter between the two of them always made me laugh. “Finding information about criminals is not part of being a Lycan, that’s detective work,” Jamal retorted.“So, why did you not get the infor
FATED TO MY UNCLE 111. BAIT II
~ISSAIris coming over to my place had almost derailed the plan but we were back on track. “We need Jamal and Miles for this to work,” I told Yulia.I wished there was another way to do this but I could not think of anything else. I knew that I was putting her in harm’s way and Marianna would be rolling over in her grave if she knew what I was about to do, but I was tired of waiting in the shadows. The last time I had ignored the growing signs of the witches’ uprising it had cost me my parents; it had taken my sister and almost taken Yulia when she was just merely a toddler.I wanted blood, I wanted revenge and I needed this cult to know that they had no right to exist. Before I went over any of the plans with Yulia, we both waited for Jamal and the beta of my pack to arrive.Yulia went up the stairs to have a hot bath, while I ordered pizza for the two of us. I was not in the mood for a home-made meal, nor did I want any of the maids anywhere near the house. I heard the sound of th

~YULIA“You want me to do what?” I asked in disbelief.“It is alright if you don’t want to do it, Yulia, it was a wild suggestion,” Issa said as he drove us home.“I am not against it, I just did not expect you to willingly put me in harm’s way, I thought I was too precious to you for that kind of thing,” I replied.“Was that sarcasm?” He asked as he glanced at me before he faced the road again.“No, I am just surprised, that’s all. I was actually excited too… So, when do we start?” I asked.“You also sound excited,” Issa mumbled.“I am tired of being on the sidelines, and this puts me in the front line of what is actually going on,” I replied.Nothing was said as he drove and we both sank into the silence of the car.“Are there any other crazy exes I should be aware of?” I asked.“Yes,” He replied. “I will make a list when we get home,” he replied.“That was sarcasm, wasn’t it?” I asked with a small smile.Issa shrugged as he drove.“Is everything going to be fine between you and you
FATED TO MY UNCLE 109. MOTHS TO FLAMES
~YULIAI paced back and forth at the hospital hall as I waited for news from the doctors about Lana. I was not bothered about Iris because I knew that she would heal but with what the doctors said, it might take a while. Third degree burns. “You need to relax, Yulia, you have been pacing for a while now,” Jamal said with a health magazine in his hands. He sat crossed leg and occasionally flipped through the pages of the catalogue.“Lana could be dead for all I know,” I said.“She is fine, you should worry about Iris instead,” Jamal said.“Does it make me a bad person if I don’t really care?” I asked in a low voice.Jamal shrugged. “She attacked your human friend and threatened to kill her right in front of you, I’d say she got what she deserved.” I was glad Jamal was on my team. A mature doctor with thinning white hair approached me. He was in an open white coat with a stethoscope hanging snugly around his neck.“Ms. Yulia?” He asked as he got near to me.“How is she?” I asked.“W
FATED TO MY UNCLE 108. UNWANTED OFFERINGS
~ISSAHeavy is the head that wears the crown.Those were one of my father’s parting words to me as I grew up to become the Lycan I was today.For a creature in my position, I was feared, revered, hated and wanted. It was a tiring existence when everyone always wanted something from you. For some powerful werewolf families, it was my cooperation to be their ally in times of war. For some it was my Lycan seed and for some, it was my death.Everybody wanted a piece of me and that was fine. It was the occupational hazard of my existence.“I had no idea that she was at your place, Issa, and I did not even think she would ever come there,” Deucalion said to me through the phone as I walked toward the transparent elevator that brought me thousands of miles under the ground to my secret place of work.Shadow one was still hard at work trying to get the information of the people I had just given him.“Maybe if you had not put it in her head that I was into her, she would not have overstepped h
FATED TO MY UNCLE 107. THE FORCE OF LIGHT
~YULIAI took a quick glimpse at my phone and clicked the text message Issa had sent me. He warned me about how suspicious Iris was and that only increased my anxiety. Although, I wondered why her sister Andrea had not told her anything about what was going on between me and Issa.‘Tread carefully,’ Yara whispered in my mind. I began to feel uneasy as I remembered that Lana was here and to everyone in this room, she was the most fragile.Iris never stopped her intense glare on me as she sat rigidly. Her question caught me off guard. What was I to him? I was his freaking soul mate bitch! But she could not know that, at least for now.“Look,” I began. “I do not know how family works where you come from, but we tell each other everything in this family, including if my uncle should settle down with a walking red flag of a woman like you,” I added a hint of sarcasm to throw her off.“Yulia, that’s rude,” Lana whispered and poked my arm.“Lana, she does not even think highly of you,” I s
FATED TO MY UNCLE 106. A GARDEN OF SHADOWS II
~ISSAI was a very old creature of the night. I had centuries on my existence and I aged very slowly. I had developed an uncanny affinity towards technology when it came into existence. I had attended the first unveiling of the iphone and from there I had been fascinated by how the internet worked. The idea that I could access all forms of information on such a little device intrigued me so much. Back in the ancient days, knowledge was a very hard commodity to come by and some even killed for it. However, I noticed that there was some information that was restricted from public knowledge and consumption. Like the secret meetings of politicians, or information of violent criminals or secret international black operations by the military.I began to wonder how I could access these secrets and that was where I discovered my gift for hacking. I had of course learned from the best and consumed everything I could about it. The idea that I could get anything I want from Hacking thrilled me
FATED TO MY UNCLE 105. PAST ESCAPADES
~YULIA “He can hear you, Lana,” I whispered as we both sat together in the living room on the sofa where Issa and I had fucked.“Oh, super hearing, I forgot,” Lana said as she covered her mouth with her right hand and blushed in embarrassment. She had called Jamal handsome and I glanced at the detective’s direction to see that he was smiling.Why did Issa call Jamal here? To be a bodyguard? I was not so sure but I did not mind it because he was part of the team now.“So, tell me, how have you been?” I asked her, genuinely interested in her response.“I do not know how loaded your uncle is, but he has got me living like a princess,” Lana said excitedly. “When I asked him about the expenses, he told me not to worry about it,” she added in disbelief.“He believes what happened to you was his fault, and this is how he is trying to make amends,” I told her. “But have you gone back to the house?” “Yeah, everything is back to normal, and even the windows ha
FATED TO MY UNCLE 104. A GARDEN OF SHADOWS
~ISSAI stayed up all night, impatient for the sun to rise. Whereas my Yulia slept like a baby though. It had been a long day yesterday and thankfully, it was the weekend, so there was no school today. I ignored numerous calls from Deucalion as the morning came. It was supposed to be a big day at the office but I had no desire to enter the Callion building for now. I needed to figure out another way to get the moon key from Deucalion. I changed into a fitted black jean and a t-shirt of the same colour. I went to the closet on the right side of the room, careful not to wake up Yulia.I parted the clothes that I had hanged until I could clearly see the box. It was more like a chest but it was made of pure adamantine. It was near indestructible and it had ancient markings of runes and hieroglyphs of stories etched all over it. I had not been able to translate the words because the language was a lost forgotten one.I called it the moon box and, on its lid, it had a small round intrica
