FATED TO MY UNCLE

~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 enjoy each other's company since we can relate to the pain."

My wolf shifted at his words and my eyes actually ran down his body. His dark hair fell over his forehead, they looked wet and I wanted to run my fingers through them.

He was dressed in black loose clothes. His shirt exposed smooth yet sexy skin underneath and I was suddenly eager to see the rest of him.

He looked way older than me, yet my wolf began to dance seductively in my mind. I wanted him and this made me swallow hard.

"Did I pass the test?" He suddenly asked as he gave me a knowing stare. When he saw my confusion, he continued. "You were checking me out."

His beautiful eyes swept over my body and I started to heat up from under his gaze. Why was this stranger affecting me so much?

"Are you flirting with me?" I blurted out. I could as well end it here before it got too far.

My wolf twisted in disapproval. She wanted this thing we had going to escalate into something crazy.

"Do you want me to?" He smirked as his stare grew more intense and I felt a strange yet enticing fire come alive within me.

My wolf was dancing fiercely now and I knew that it was dangerous for me to remain seated here with him. Now was the best time to escape before I went too far down the rabbit hole.

"I'm eighteen," I stated, hoping that it would be enough to discourage him. I doubted if men his age would want to be with women as young as me.

Yet his amusement grew and he leaned in closer so that we were now inches away.

"And I'm twenty eight. . . What a perfect match," he whispered and this time, I felt heat pulsate from between my legs.

My mouth turned as dry as ash and I did not trust myself to speak anymore. He had me cornered. I was sure that he could see the hunger in my eyes.

"Studies show that a little bit of fun and some alcohol can ease pain," he said as he brought his lips to my left ear.

The moment his hot breath fanned my skin, I felt tingling sensations shoot down from the spot and scatter across my body like electricity.

How could one man have this much effect on me?

"Let's dance," he whispered before pulling away and looking into my eyes.

His forest green eyes were now glowing and I could almost tell how much excitement he was feeling.

He offered me his hand and I hesitated. "I know you want to," he teased.

My wolf urged me to go for it. Yet I wanted to run away. I turned to my glass again, took another shot and allowed the alcohol take control.

Then I accepted his hand. "Fine, let's dance."

A smile played on his lips as he began to lead me through the herd of dancing people. The world began to dance around my vision like the sea of people and I started giggling.

He finally found a spot close to a wall where the flashing red and green lights were dimmer.

"This is perfect," he muttered in satisfaction.

Then he grabbed my waist and suddenly pulled me closer to his chest. I gasped and he only smirked.

"Go with the flow. . ." He whispered. "Let the music and the alcohol do its thing."

I giggled at him as I began to move with the rhythm of the loud yet sensual music. He suddenly turned me around and began to trail his hands over the curves of my body.

He pushed my hair out of the way and brought his lips to my neck. "You're beautiful. . ." He whispered. "And you smell so good."

Tingling sensations travelled down my neck, down to my already wet pussy. I felt his teeth gently grab the skin on my neck. He was busy giving me gentle bites that messed with my senses and sent my wolf dancing into a frenzy.

"I want you. . ." He whispered just as I moaned.

His hands somehow ended up on my breasts and I hissed the moment he squeezed them.

"But you're a stranger. . ." I moaned breathlessly.

Then he swiftly turned me around so that he could look into my eyes. "Yet you do not feel like a stranger to me," he muttered. "It feels as if I've known you forever. . ."

His eyes began to glow again and I felt as if he was trying to suck me into his world, as if he was trying to transport me into a world that was going to hold just him and me.

My wolf began to dance for him and I wanted him to claim me as his. I wanted him to take me away. I was suddenly ready to surrender to him but the smart side of me told me to back away- to run from him.

"This isn't right," I suddenly said but his sexy eyes locked with mine and drowned me. "I don't want this," I whispered slowly as I found myself diving deeper.

"You can not lie to me, my darling. . ." He whispered.

How could he tell what I was truly feeling? Could he read my mind?

I gasped and widened my eyes at him. "Who are you?"

~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 commanded it so because it could not have been a coincidence.

He was warm against my lips and there was an emotion he evoked in me that no guy I had kissed, had ever caused before.

I felt all my defenses crumble down the moment he deepened the kiss and made it more sensual. My hands shot up to his neck and I realised that just as I was heating up, so was he.

His tongue found its way into my mouth and I felt the butterflies in my stomach all take flight at once.

His hands ran down my body and grabbed my butt. There was a sense of protection that came with his aura. He made me feel safe at the same time, I was constantly reminded of the danger lingering around his aura.

It was as if there was both danger and protection to his very existence.

I moaned against his lips and he pulled me even closer. Almost as if he wanted to kill even the tiniest of space that was between us.

He pushed me gently until he had me pinned against the wall with nowhere else to go. "Do you admit to wanting me, my darling?" He asked every so softly that I almost melted away.

"No," I immediately lied through my teeth.

He chuckled before moving his kisses to my neck. I hissed when I felt his tongue trailing down my chest.

Normally, I would have been bothered that he had not taken me somewhere more private, but I did not care. This place was private enough. It had no one straying close to the area and like I noticed earlier, the lights were dimmer here.

I suddenly felt his teeth close against my nipple and I gasped. He was gentle with the way he ground my nipple against his teeth before going back to sucking them.

My hands grabbed his hair instantly and he released a low moan, as if to warn me that I was provoking him to start something that I could not finish.

He lifted himself to his his full height again and pressed his body against mine. Then he brought his lips so close to mine that I thought he was going to kiss me again, when he stopped instead.

"Are you sure that you don't need me?" He asked in an amused tone as he watched me struggle to keep my breath even.

Hell! I wanted him inside of me. I wanted to run my hands over his naked body. I wanted to kiss every part of him but my pride stopped me from saying a word.

"No," I said weakly.

He smiled before kissing me for such a short period that he left me hungry. He bit and pulled on my lower lip before chuckling.

I was sure that he could see the hunger in my eyes but I continued to act unfazed.

"Maybe this will help you confess," he said as he held my gaze.

I tried to keep a straight face when I felt his left hand slowly and deliberately travel down my body until he went under my dress and placed it on my bare thigh.

The pit of my stomach began to burn and I felt more liquid exit my softness the moment I felt his hand beginning to travel up my thigh.

I shuddered and his smirk grew wider. "I can smell your desire. . ." He whispered.

This caught me offguard and I moaned. He instantly kissed me when I did, as if he wanted to swallow up my moan for himself.

I hissed and he released a low growl when two of his fingers found their way into my entrance.

He pulled away from my lips and examined my face. "How about now? Do you want me to stop?"

The question weighed on my shoulders as I gazed into his burning forest green eyes.

Damn! I was tired of holding back. I was tired of resisting. My wolf was growing exhausted from fighting me to give in.

So I looked him in his eyes. "No, I don't want you to stop," I whispered. "Make me yours."

It was as if he had been waiting forever to hear this. A dangerous glint took over his lust filled eyes as he used both his hands to find my panties and pulled it down.

I gasped at how fast he was. He was just about to lift me in his arms when my phone suddenly buzzed and started ringing in my dress' pocket.

"Shit!" I exclaimed as the influence of the alcohol started to clear.

I did not have to check my phone to know who was calling. It was my mom's lawyer. I was supposed to meet him after the funeral for important matters and I forgot all about it.

"I need to go," I stated and began to walk away.

He grabbed my hand. "Don't, stay," he muttered and it was more of a request than a command.

I looked into his eyes and saw the longing in them. I was almost swayed by them when my phone began to ring again.

"I'm sorry, I have to go!" I stated and yanked my hand free from his.

Then I broke into a run.

"Wait! You didn't tell me your name!" I heard him call.

"Neither did you," I answered and ran out the exit door.

~YULIA

My 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 us all so worried!" He exclaimed.

I sighed heavily. It was annoying that they were all treating me like an egg which was going to break with the wrong move.

"I was at Club Purple this whole time," I answered.

"What?" The lawyer exclaimed. "Do you realise how dangerous that is? There's been reports of those human traffickers around that area. Are you trying to get yourself kidnapped or worse, killed?"

I rolled my eyes at him. There was no way that I was going to get taken. I was too smart for that to happen.

"You're exaggerating. I can take care of myself. I am an adult now," I stated as ran my free hand through my hair in frustration.

"I'm coming over to pick you up," Mr Rogers announced.

I scoffed. "You do not have to!" I exclaimed but he already ended the call.

I released a frustrated growl before tucking my phone into my pocket. And as if the universe was against me, it suddenly began to rain out of the blue.

"Very funny, Moon goddess!" I called sarcastically.

That was when I felt a shift in the atmosphere and my wolf stirred with alarm. I felt the hair at the back of my neck stand. A feeling began to build up at the back of my mind, almost as if someone was stabbing a thousand spikes into me.

It was accompanied by the feeling of being watched.

I looked up from my pocket and stared around the space. That was when I caught sight of red crimson eyes watching me from a far end of an alley.

My heart skipped triple beats and my wolf sank to the deepest part of my core. I looked away immediately and my body started trembling.

Who the fuck was that and why were they watching me?

My heart started hammering again and I dared another glance at my stalker only to see that the eyes were gone.

Had I imagined it the first time or it was really there?

My wolf suddenly flinched and I noticed a group of men coming my way.

"Shit!" I cursed before breaking into a run.

"Get her!" On of them roared. "She'll make a good sell!"

My heart shattered when I figured out who they were. These were the same traffickers that Mr. Rogers had just warned me about.

I picked up my pace as I started running through the rain. I had no idea where I was going. My body began to tremble violently and I thought that this was it for me.

"Surround her!" I heard another say.

I gasped. This was not good. If they surrounded me, then there was no way that I was going to make it out.

I increased my speed as I ran blindly down the empty streets. I wondered how late it was for the streets to be this dry.

My wolf was jumping around my head as she fueled me- forced me to keep running.

I thought about my sweet mother who had always protected me, while I insisted on being a rebel. I thought of her lifeless body when I found her that morning.

They said she suffered from a heart attack and I blamed myself for not being in the house with her to help her when it happened.

Was this my punishment? Was she finally getting back at me from the heavens for being an irresponsible child?

"Gotcha!" A man said as he appeared before my face.

I flinched and fell back immediately.

Laughter scattered across the space and I realised that I was now surrounded.

"It was a sweet chase but this it where it ends," Another said.

"I still don't understand why she's in high demand. Didn't the mother just die?" Another asked as I continued trembling on the ground.

"I overhead them talking about a certain Moonheart bloodline and she being connected to it," a third man said.

"But what do we care? All we do is make sure that the package is delivered and this one here is the most expensive package we have ever come across," the first man said.

My heart hammered hard against my chest. My head was jumbled with multiple thoughts. What was this they were saying about a certain Moonheart bloodline? What did it have to do with me and why was I the most expensive package?

Who were they planning to sell me to? And why was anyone willing to pay for me?

Suddenly, gunshot erupted through the night and one of the men dropped dead. I screamed in horror.

Another shot sounded and one of the yelled.

"Fuck! We're under attack! Grab the girl!" Another said.

A car suddenly came to a stop before me and the door came open. "Yulia! Get in!"

It was Mr. Rogers' voice.

So as one of them made to grab me, I instantly shot to my feet and ran so hard. I had never run as hard as this my entire life as adrenaline shot through my bones.

"Don't let her get away!" I heard them say.

I was almost at the car when one of them grabbed me. "You're coming with us, bitch!" He yelled.

"Let me go!" I screamed as I started thrashing around his hold.

"Hey, asshole!" Mr Rogers called.

That was when he revealed a gun and shot the man. He went limb immediately and dropped to the floor with a hard thud.

My tremors intensified as shock left me frozen on the spit, unable to move for a split second.

"Yulia! Get in!" He roared and it snapped me out of my trance.

That was when I resumed running again. The moment I launched myself into the car, he shut the door and zoomed off.
