JasperMy little lamb had been too brave to think that she could roll on my bed all day and I would not pounce on her.It had been hard to control my urges and not just throw her on the bed and fuck her until she would not be able to walk.But I wanted her to know that she was free, that I did not ‘own’ her as a slave but wanted to own her like she was mine and mine alone.And I did not know how to explain it in words.So, when she nodded her head, a thousand emotions exploded in my heart as I brought down my lips on hers.Goddess, she was so wet and responsive.I could have had many girls, had bedded experts who knew how to satisfy me but something about this innocence that flickered in her eyes made me want to teach her things.And, boy was she a seductress!Her mouth opened up for me easily and I kissed her hungrily, nibbling on her lips bruisingly hard.Celia began to wither under my touch, as she let out a soft moan.Every cell of my body was screaming at me to go slow, that this
Celia The words were out of my mouth before I could stop them. And I knew at that moment that whatever had happened between us, was gone. Jasper’s eyes which were filled with desire and want suddenly were wiped off of all the earlier emotions. His face had resumed his earlier stoic expression and he gave me a long, hard look before answering, “No” I felt the air around me suddenly go stiff like a board and wanted to drag him back to the bed, to touch me all over my body, to again feel his mouth on mine but he had walked towards the wardrobe and pulled open the doors. Shuffling through the plethora of fabrics, he pulled out something and replied, “Get dressed” Dress? Where were we going at this ungodly hour? What type of dress was I supposed to wear? Were we going to meet someone? I had no idea but he did not stay back to answer any of those questions. He only tied a long, silky robe around his waist and walked out without another word. I heard the sound of his footsteps sto
CeliaI blinked at the words of the Matron as she folded her hands. Was it not done yet?She held the vial in the moonlight for a second, letting the blood glisten a little in the pale light before she emptied it into the lake.The water did not sizzle this time but the red drops stayed on the water, gliding on the surface as if they were on a surface of wax before they began to drizzle down in the pond.Jasper looked at the water and then at the Matron who closed her eyes and murmured something.I would have spent my time gawking at Jasper but something began to take shape in the water, something began to swirl.The water droplets began to churn, creating a small whirlpool of sorts and then something began to form.Just like that something popped out of the water like popcorn and was thrown out of the lake. It landed on the soft mud, a few feet away from me.I squinted my eyes to get a better look.It was some sort of circular thing that landed on the mud and I bent down to pick it
JasperI walked away from the lake after seeing Matron Arwen hand over the locket to Celia. In other circumstances, I would have just gone ahead and put it on her myself, but her words had pissed me off.Could she not see the difference in the way I was treating her?My brothers would fuck like there was no tomorrow and just dispose of girls like trashbags but I had not even slept in the same room as her so far.Except for our hot kiss that send shivers down my spine, straight to my cock which began to throb with the need for her but it would have to wait.“Do I have a choice?”She had asked me and whatever surge of euphoria I had felt earlier had come crashing down at her question.Of course, she had a choice. I was not keeping her here as a prisoner.I had given her a separate room and even a few drops of my blood. Though it meant that she was marked by me.I owned her.The feeling was both exhilarating and saddening.I wanted to crush her lips bruisingly hard, make her worship my c
JasperMy elder brother asked in a loud and clear voice that made me want to sit back and relax and just watch the drama unfold.My father, who did not miss the accusation in his voice, asked, “Do you have any ideas?”Obviously, my father was giving my brother some time to weigh his options.Draken scratched his chin thoughtfully for a while and answered, “How about you give us the kingdoms based on directions?”Before Edriel could intervene, Draken muttered,“We can all take a piece. I will take the north since it is the most active one. A lot of debates and wars have broken out there recently. It will be quite exhausting for both Edriel and Jasper to look after it”King Brigdain was pleased with his answer and a thin coat of sweat that was glistening on his forehead was wiped away with a handkerchief.“I like that idea”Then he turned to Edriel who was trying hard to not let his muscles strain. Somehow that amused me.But I did not chuckle and simply looked down as Edriel muttered,
JasperI walked out of the big meeting hall, much to the surprise of the shell shocked courtiers and my brothers.They thought they had forced me to rule south, to take the part of the kingdom nobody wanted.Little did they know, I had wanted just that all along.I shook my head, relishing on the shocked looks on their faces.They never learned, not to doubt me, not to think they were going to take me down.Because I always had everything planned out. I could hear Edriel and Draken shocked murmurs as the courtiers began to jump at them, wanting to align with the possible future king.None of them came for me, thinking that I had taken a losing bet, and placed my bet on a losing game.But I was not even playing the same game.Ha!I walked away from the hall and towards my room. I had some preparations to do and some tasks to complete before I started my mission.As I went toward my room, I saw Grace walking toward me and I called her,“Is Celia awake?”Grace nodded, “Yes, your highnes
Celia“What?”I stared blankly at Grace as she stood in front of me, holding a training gear in her hand.“Your prince wants me to wear that?”I raised an eyebrow.The training armor was skin fit and though it covered every inch of my skin, it seemed to be made of spandex or something.No way was I going to wear that.I usually sweated buckets and wanted some air to reach my lungs and my skin preferably. I would always wonder how the girls managed to wear such tight costumes and jump up and down.Grace did not waver and she simply replied, “Prince Jasper just wanted you to wear something that will protect you well”She said and I grit my teeth.It was just a training session for Goddess's sake. I was not going to swim in a lake full of crocodiles, was I?I just gave her a ‘no can do’ look and replied,“Tell your prince to wear that himself if he is afraid of me”Grace had the decency to not laugh or chuckle though I saw a muscle in her jaw twitch. She was good at controlling her laugh
CeliaJasper then sat down to tie the shoelaces and whipped around so fast that I barely had a chance to retreat and take a step back.“What the’”I could not even complete it as he began attacking me. Jasper kept advancing and I kept retreating before I ducked and turned around to deliver a kick.However, he was faster and he lightly punched me in the back, sending me toppling over myself.I managed to stop myself from falling as anger began to rise in me once again.I knew he had not used his full strength to hit me, yet I had gone flying around like a feather and it angered me.Gritting my teeth, I straightened my back and raised my leg, aiming at his abdomen. My leg connected with his chest but there were no sounds of bones breaking, not even a pained hiss out of his mouth.This man was just made of an iron block and it was my foot that felt a reeling impact when I hit him.He did not smile but his eyes danced in delight as I began twisting and turning in an attempt to catch him o
To all my lovely readers, I cannot thank you enough for staying with me on this wild roller coaster of emotions until the end. 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. Last year was especially tough for me with fighting depression and a few other issues that I do not want to make public. Some of you loved the story, others not so much. But I want to thank every single one of you for giving this story and this author a chance. 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. And to those who patiently endured the plot twists – I promise, I only did it because I love you all. Okay, maybe that is not the complete truth. Perhaps there was a hint of mischief in the twis
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
