~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
~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
