Celia

I was not sure at what point exactly I woke up the next day, but I remember missing the familiar warmth of Jasper beside me and reaching my hand on the bed to feel his presence.

When my hands only touched the cold bed, I drowsily opened my eyes. Luckily, I had not slept through the entire day.

I could feel the hubbub all around as the palace seemed restlessly alive. I could hear the hurried footsteps of people running around along with excited chattering.

Confused as to what was going on, I called out for Grace but she did not answer. Thus, I pushed myself up and walked to the wardrobe to pull a sleeping gown and tie around my waist while walking towards the door.

Stifling a yawn, I opened the door and saw the servants rushing through the hallway, carrying chairs and garlands.

Meanwhile, a servant rushed to me hurriedly, carrying a scroll in his hand.

“My lady, I was instructed not to disturb you, but I came to check if you have woken up already.”

I pushed my hair back and asked

    Jasper The workout with Celia had left me feeling ecstatic and high. No matter how I punished her, she was always willing to let me do whatever I wanted and she turned me on like no other girl ever had. While I could not deny that I did feel jealous of her feelings and worry about Vasil, I was also working on not letting it affect our relationship. After tucking Celia in the bed, I went straight to the shower to clean myself and was hoping to sleep peacefully beside her. However, when I stepped outside the bathroom, I heard a small knock on the door. I hurriedly ran towards the door so as to not disturb Celia’s sleep. I was surprised to see Draken standing outside the door. He threw one look at Celia sleeping in the bed and smirked at me. “Tired, little brother?” I stepped outside while still wrapped in a towel and answered, “I was just getting ready to sleep a bit” He mused, “I just came to talk to you to remind you of our discussion earlier. You never came back to discuss it,

    Jasper I screamed at the courtiers, who were all stunned into silence. I roamed my eyes through the crowd, wanting to notice who it was. Somebody had mocked me in front of the court, was hiding in the courtiers, hurt my brother and threatened my girl. Oh, I was going to skin that bastard alive. “Fine, then. Let all these deaths be on your hands,” I roared and stepped down onto the raised platform. An arrow flew through the right, but my hand shot out and caught it before it would pierce into my skin. Holding that arrow at an arm’s length, I thundered, “You are an idiot if you think you can use the same trick over and over again.” I gritted my teeth and held the arrow above my head before snapping it in two like a twig. I threw the arrow on the ground and the courtiers all slunk back, afraid that it would hit them. I took a step towards the crowd, all of whom were staring at me with pure terror. “Celia!!!!” I thundered once again, and I heard her finally. “I…I am here,” she sh

    Jasper After ensuring that father and brothers were safe and in good hands, I turned my attention back to Nicholas. I was trying to not let his words affect me and let him blabber. Seeing that I was still standing rather calmly, Nicholas peered intently at me and then his gaze traveled to my hand that was holding Celia’s. “This bitch, she is the reason for everything and-” In the next second, he was dangling by my hands, and my fingers were digging into his throat. “I warned you the first time to stay put…” I growled, but Celia came running to me. She was tugging at my sleeves, but I was fuming in rage. “Please Jasper, don’t fall for it. He is purposely making you angry so that the courtiers' attention will be diverted from his attack on your brother.” “I don’t care…” I spoke and my nails sunk into his throat, slicing the flesh as hot blood began to trickle down my arms. But Celia kept pleading and tugging at my arm. “Please, you have to listen to me. Let go of him. Make him co

    Celia Jasper was literally shaking with rage and I could understand him but I did not want him to shed blood, not when Vasil was still here. “Jasper, please” I tried to put sense in him but Jasper was glaring at Nicholas and Brendan, both of whom were cowering under his gaze. “Get your men who had pointed their weapons at my people. NOW” He thundered and Nicholas turned a paler than he already was. He looked around for support but nobody was looking at him with concern anymore. His eyes fell on Vasil and he pointed at him. “Do you all have eyes? Can you not see that there is a vampire among us? What if he is let loose and comes to drink your blood?” He began but Jasper raised his hand and drove his fist into the man’s face. Nicholas went flying into the air and fell on the floor a few feet away from all of us. The floor below him cracked and there was a small hole where he had fallen. He winced in pain and blood oozed out of his forehead. But my eyes went to Vasil who had gone

    Jasper Nymeria finally came running towards us before I would yell her name the third time. She was panting for breath and clutching her chest while sweat glistened on her forehead. “The entire kingdom must have heard you by now” She said, while taking a few breaths to calm herself down. But before she could ask why I was shouting her name, her eyes fell on Vasil, who was slumped to the floor. “What happened to him?” She ran towards him and checked his pulse. I raised an eyebrow, “He has one?” Nymeria bit her tongue and immediately took his hands in hers. She surveyed his injuries and frowned. “This does not look good,” She muttered while Celia gave her a look of concern. “Is he going to be okay?” Celia asked, her voice cracking a bit while Nymeria looked at Jasper. “Make someone bring my purse, now!!” She screamed and before I could scream, one of the guards lying at my feet scrambled up and hurriedly dashed outside. I only looked at the two women with a raised eyebrow and

    CeliaI closed my eyes shut and placed my hands on my ears to drown out the noise of Vasil drinking blood from someone alive while the person’s blood curdling screams echoed through the hall.I was shaking in his embrace and had my face buried in his shirt.“Celia,” Jasper softly whispered in my ear, but the screams of Nicholas and the noise of the blood gushing out of his neck were still ringing in my ears.I did not want to turn around and look at Vasil. But Jasper kept nudging me.“Celia, hey, look up”When I still did not budge, he cupped my face and made me look up at him.“It is over,” Jasper whispered, and he placed his hands on my shoulders to turn me around.My eyes were still closed, but I half opened them, fearing that I would see Vasil behaving like a maniac.But he was standing straight, looking at me with a happy face.“V-Vasil,” I spoke, and he raised his hand to wave at me.“Hey there, look it is me”Vasil said, and I finally opened my eyes completely.

    Jasper I could not fall asleep before checking on my family’s well-being. Nicholas had put all my loved ones in jeopardy in a room full of people, so I was beginning to question what security measures should be taken to strengthen the safety of those living inside. Nicholas and Branden were only two of the people who hated us, but what if there were more secretly plotting our demise? Not that they had to wait for long. My father was ill, and my brother had just been injured. It was only because of the guards’ quick thinking that Draken was still alive. I wanted to spend some time with them, talk to them and if they were asleep, then maybe just wait for them to wake up before having a little chat with them. With a nervous expression, I first headed towards my father’s room. A lot more security was added around his room, presumably by Edriel, and I felt happy that he had thought of it. I decided to meet him later. The guards promptly stepped aside on seeing me and let me in. In

    Jasper“What?” I blurted out as Matron kept looking at me intently.“She is your best friend," you said. She is beautiful, smart and she is a very very good healer.”I could not understand where this was going.“She is all of that but I do not love her. Why would you even propose such a thing?”Matron came forward and looked me in the eye. “Prince Jasper, marriages, especially those of royal princes and princesses almost always happen because of political alliances, not out of love.”I furrowed my eyebrows, “And what political alliance are you trying to achieve here?”Matron looked around and Father switched his side while sleeping again.“Let us go to another room.”She promptly began walking outside and I followed her to the door. I didn't even want to discuss her absurd idea but she placed a firm hand on my wrist and almost dragged me to a near empty room.After getting into one of the meeting rooms that Father mostly used, she closed the doors and pulled me towards the windows.Th

You cannot pick a favorite child but writing this book was magical, simply because, I got so many of you who were invested to read. I sincerely hope I've improved as a writer when compared to my old books and continue to write stories that touch your hearts.

If my story managed to provide a temporary escape from reality or simply added a sprinkle of joy to your day, then my mission as a writer is complete.

    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
