Celia

Jasper was a strong man, an honorable one and the way he had lived his life so far had made him impervious to shocks or surprising revelations.

But, he was not taking this one easily. And, I had to give him credit that he had not simply closed his hands upon her throat and killed her for speaking ill of his beloved Matron.

“My father…he is many things but I would not believe that he is a womanizer. If he had her all these years around him yet he never took her as his queen, what do you think that makes him?”

Keltia gave him a side-eye and corrected him,

“I never said your father was that. He only got easily swayed by those around him because, after this witch cursed him….he suddenly became alone.”

“Power is a fickle thing, Jasper. It makes people change alliances and switch their motives in the blink of an eye. So does fear. And your father had lost the former and gained the latter. He wanted someone to replace me. His kingdom and his throne were about to crumble, everything he

Matron! I do not know what to think! Matron is at the bottom of all this.

    Celia We all looked at Vasil and I suddenly remembered he was still here. But he was neither growling at Jasper threateningly nor was he glaring at me for having kissed someone who was not my mate. In fact, he was listening to the conversation intently and even tried to show active participation. It was as if he had just forgotten he was lunging at Jasper a moment ago and was now suddenly a part of our team. Even Jasper was taken aback by his sudden change of behaviour but only threw him a confused look before returning his attention back to Keltia. Time was of the essence and we were running out of it. “Hmm, there might be a chance for us to save Jasper but I repeat, I cannot guarantee its safety. It is risky” She said furrowing her brows as she thought of her plan. Meanwhile, Jasper tried to pull me away and interjected, “Can I talk to you Celia for a moment please?” He asked me pointedly and I shrugged. We stepped to the side and he muttered, “Celia, I am not sure what is wr

    Celia Vasil was pulled away from me and the next second he fell on the floor after ebing tossed away like a dead goat. “Jasper!!” I screamed at the lycan prince who had torn Vasil away from me and hurled him into the air. He was glaring at Vasil who scowled a little and winced as he rubbed his elbow. “What was that about?” I asked and he came near me, standing directly in front of me. “You better reject him right now or he will die today” Jasper spoke, his eyes fuming with anger. The lycan prince was behaving like a jealous teenager and I was not sure if I should feel amused or sad. Keltia cleared her throat, “We should rather focus on you not dying first, lycan prince.” “What did this key look like?” I asked her while rubbing my temples. She began, “It was truly special. The key is actually the same necklace that Arwen accused me of stealing. The pendant was sphere shaped and depending on the way the light shone on it, it would sometimes look metallic and sometimes look like

    Celia She only nodded her head as Jasper slowly got up from the stone table. He winced a little and there was blood on his lips, indicating that he had bitten on his tongue too hard, but other than that, he appeared fine. Keltia looked at the door of the cave and slowly proceeded towards it. I helped Jasper find his shirt and handed it to him as we all walked with her toward the door. She went to the wall and roamed her hands over it before she found a small indent and pressed on it. The cave’s door slid open, and she let out a big sigh of relief. The sun had already gone down, but it was just dawn, so we still had some light. Keltia slowly lifted her leg and placed it on the border of the cave entrance. The air around her foot crackled and whizzed a bit, but it let her pass. Her foot fell on the ground and she looked behind at us, a radiant smile on her face. “I...I can step out,” She said with a childlike glee and walked out of the cave that had been her home for several year

    Celia Jasper did not loosen his grip on my hand and we all walked out of the cave. The coachman was waiting for us a few feet away, the nightsteeds grazing on the grass happily, while he was snoring softly. Jasper looked at the coach and then at me and cleared his throat, “We are back Henry, let us go home” Henry gave a startled cry and hastily woke up from his sleep. He had thrown his legs up on the wooden bench and his head leaned back on the carriage wall but sprang up and smoothed his clothes as soon as he heard Jasper’s voice. He ran towards us and bowed, “I was beginning to wonder where you were, your majesty. I was even contemplating going back to the castle and alerting the others.” Jasper replied dryly, “Yes, I can see that” Henry gave a sheepish smile and looked at me, “My lady, hope everything went fine” I nodded my head, “It did” Then Henry’s eyes fell on Vasil and he looked at him with squinted eyes, scanning him from head to toe. “Who is this young man?” He aske

    Celia I gulped nervously as Jasper maintained a firm hold on my hand while closing the door behind us. “Rest Vasil, I will come to meet you soon” I managed to say as the door closed and Jasper strode away from it with me in tow. “What is the issue?” I asked but he did not say a word and when I tried to resist, he simply threw me on his shoulder, making me give a startled cry. There were a few guards on the upper floor but all of them politely bowed their heads as they saw Jasper take me…to his room? My heart began fluttering as he strode in and threw me on the bed before turning around and closing the door. I looked at him warily and spoke, “why are you behaving like this?” He came forward in three large strides and was directly in front of me. I was sitting by the edge of the bed and he lowered himself a little, his hands gripping the edges of the wooden frame of the bed as he brought his face to my eye level. “Do you love me?” He asked and that question took me off-guard. I

    CeliaI blinked in confusion but he only said, “Do as I say so that I won’t punish you, kitten”His husky voice was already making me feel the need to kiss him and he was asking me to turn around.My disappointment must be visible on my face but he gently pushed the pillows away so as to make room for me.I crawled on my knees as he adjusted my position and then said, “Place your hand on the headboard and hold it”I furrowed my eyes but did as he asked and gripped the edges. Then he pulled the satin cloth up and let it trail on my bare skin, making me wiggle a little.Next, he folded it into pleats and then brought it in front of my face. “Don’t worry, I am only going to blindfold you”The satin cloth then came on my eyes and I let him tie it firmly in place. “Can you see anything?”I shook my head, “Good”He then slowly nudged forward and plastered his body upon mine. A wave of pure ecstasy tore through me at the sudden intimate contact as he ensured my back was resting on his chest

    Jasper My voice was raspy and my entire body was trembling with need. And my little kitten was right in front of me, wanting me, needing me. I was going to claim her while her mate was right in this palace. She was going to carry my scent and she would sleep with me every single night. I was going to ensure that he got so pissed that he would reject her if Celia would not. Yes, I was being selfish and a bit cunning. But, lycans were known for these traits and I was the flagbearer of shrewdness. After all, everything was fair in love and war, right? ‘Filthy bloodsucker’ I thought and then shook my head. Why was I even thinking of him? I had my beautiful girl in front of me and she was waiting for me, obediently. I pulled my pants and boxers down and my shaft sprang free of its cage. It stood in attention, saluting the beauty in front of it. And Celia was trembling with need, just like me. I could see goosebumps prickle on her skin as she heard me push my pants down. I slowly a

    JasperSunlight streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. The sounds of birds chirping outside created a serene ambiance. I lay there, entwined with Celia on the bed.We lay on the bed, tangled in the sheets, comfortable in each other’s embrace.Celia had her head resting on my shoulder, her hair spilling all over the pillow. Her hand was resting on my chest and I felt…complete.She looked so cute and innocent in her sleep as she breathed softly. Her leg was resting on mine and I did not want to disturb her yet.My gaze traveled outside the window and I slowly held my hand in the soft sunrays peeking through the window as the curtains blew lightly.The sunlight felt warm and inviting. Such a simple thing yet so refreshing. I figured I was missing out on such important things because I was too occupied with other tasks…or simply because I had not found someone to enjoy simple things with.I slowly turned to look at Celia as she twitched in her sleep a bit.

    Jasper I turned my head to look at her from a distance. I could see the nervousness in her gaze, in her body language. My gaze flicked to the guests, all of whom were looking at her. She cleared her throat, “Today is going to be a big day of my life. But before I take that step…I…I wanted to tell you all something.” Her gaze found mine and I only smiled at her. Before she could speak another word, one of the many people in the crowd placed a hand on his chest and bowed down to her. Celia was stunned and watched him In surprise. Behind her, Nymeria, Xenos, and Vasil were slowly descending the stairs too. Following the first person, a few more did the same- place a hand on their chest, their heart to be precise, and bowed to her, going down on one knee. “What is going on?” She asked In a low voice. Soon, everybody followed suit. In a matter of minutes, the entire crowd was on its knees, bowing to her. Her eyes flicked to me and I too did the same gesture. Placing my hand on my

    JasperI cleared my throat and looked down at the crowd of people who had come to witness the wedding. There had been no happy event or celebration in the palace after my birth.That day had been a day of celebration but Isadora had turned it into a nightmare. And after all those years, finally, we were having a moment to rejoice.But as I watched the hopeful eyes of the people surrounding me, I could not shake the uneasy feeling gnawing at me.I had to get rid of it. And the only way to do that was to be honest.For a confused moment, I stood on the stairs, looking at the excited faces of the people around me.My gaze flicked to my father and brothers, all of whom were smiling proudly at me.“Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention please?” I asked in a loud voice, turning even those heads that had been momentarily distracted while looking at the grandeur of the palace.“First of all, I would like to thank you all for being present today. Frankly, I did not expect so many of

    JasperThe huge room suddenly felt too small and the air in the world did not seem enough to fill my lungs.Celia had spoken something, but I was too busy staring at her.My heartbeat was roaring in my ears as I took in her beauty that shone radiantly, nothing short of a thousand lanterns.Her face looked distraught and her eyes were red, her cheeks puffed up. Her makeup had smeared a little too.But despite that, she looked like an angel. A Goddess.I had only seen her in her usual gowns and training clothes, but this marvel…this was just for me.For a minute, I simply stood in front of her, drinking her features. How could she be so blissfully ignorant of what she was doing to me by just standing there in that beautiful dress?I took a step forward, and I saw a tear trickle down her eye.“Shh, don’t cry,” I said softly, reaching for her face and cupping it. And when I did, a surge of electricity rippled through me.My Lycan roared in my head, feeling exhilarated to see her all dolle

    CeliaDread settled in my heart when Xenos and Nymeria revealed my life’s biggest secret. My whole life had been a lie?But then what about the people I grew up with thinking they were my parents?Nothing made sense anymore, and I only stared blankly at Xenos.“Is…is that true?”I asked, and he nodded. “There is a reason I never found the courage to tell you all of this earlier. And to be sure that I was not guessing it all wrong, I asked Nymeria to allow me to show her that memory, too. I touched her and with her permission, I looked through her memories…childhood memories, to be specific. There was no trace of me or Isadora in it.”My heart felt like it would break into a million pieces.“But then, how could I never do magic? I never sensed it and…and then why was I not able to fight her when she…she killed me?”I was sobbing hysterically and Nymeria’s face looked like she was cursing herself for ruining my day.She apologized over a thousand times that she did not want me to learn

    Celia "Are you going to tell her, or should I?" Nymeria's question hung in the air like a storm cloud, casting a palpable tension in the room. I looked from Nymeria to Xenos, confusion and a growing sense of foreboding twisting in my chest. Their solemn expressions conveyed that something grave was afoot. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, my heart beginning to race. "Tell me what?" I pressed, my voice laced with unease. Xenos, usually a man of few words, hesitated for a moment. His eyes held mine for a second longer than I expected, and I could see a mix of guilt and apprehension in them. He opened his mouth to speak but closed it again, the weight of his unspoken words lingering in the room. Nymeria, her expression torn between sympathy and responsibility, finally broke the silence. "Celia, there's something you need to know." I felt a shiver crawl down my spine. The room, once filled with warmth and camaraderie, had now become suffocating with uncertainty. My thoughts raced as

    CeliaThe grand lycan palace was alive with anticipation, every corner adorned with flowers and delicate decorations in celebration of our wedding day. Two weeks had passed in a blur since the night Jasper had proposed to me in front of my pack.And every day after that seemed like a dream to me. I would wake up and pinch myself, wondering if it was all my imagination.But it was true, every single moment of it…just like today.The air was thick with the sweet scent of blooming roses, and the palace echoed with laughter and the sound of joyous conversations.In my room, the one I used to live in before I moved in with Jasper, a sense of nervous excitement filled the room as I sat before a beautifully crafted vanity mirror, surrounded by my maids and my dear friend, Nymeria. Their skilled hands moved with grace, tending to every detail to transform me into the radiant bride I aspired to be.The maids began to braid my long, dark hair, weaving flowers and jewels into it.As their nimble

    "Are you guys ever coming out?" Jasper called with a good-natured grin, standing a few paces away from the porch.He had his hands placed on the doorframe and looked at us with his eyes furrowed as he saw Vasil holding my hand which I gave a gentle squeeze.“Don’t forget what I told you. Think about it,” I added, looking at Vasil while getting up from the chair.Jasper folded his hands over his chest and asked, “What secret are you guys discussing?”Vasil too got up from his chair and gave my arm a light squeeze.“Of course. And just so you know, if he ever hurts you or makes you sad, you know where to find me.”“Ha ha ha, very funny, bloodsucker,” Jasper replied humorlessly and looked at me to indicate that he wanted me to come out of the room.Vasil outstretched his hand as if to say, “After you” and I looked at him with my eyes wide, “Why are you always mean to him?”Jasper grinned, “He tried to take you from me. Am I not great for letting him live?”Vasil, who was just behind me,

    CeliaAs Jasper walked beside me, his very presence filled my being with warmth and comfort. His scent, a heady mixture of earthy woods and his own unique, intoxicating fragrance, enveloped me like a protective embrace. I observed him, my heart overflowing with gratitude for the incredible man who had become not just my love but my lifeline, my mate.Isadora had tricked me into believing Vasil was my mate but the true pull of the mate bond was poles apart from the confusion she had tried to insert in my head.It was as if whenever I saw Jasper, my heart filled with hope and the promise that if he was around, nothing would ever go wrong.Every time I recalled the way he had jumped up and down the floor when I called him my mate and the way he ran through the palace telling everyone excitedly that I was his mate, my eyes would grow moist.What had I ever done to deserve him? I barely tried to fight Isadora but he literally fought both the devil and the Goddess, just like he had promised
