The Lycan's Obsession Chapter 211
CeliaWith my lips still looking puffed from all the kissing, I managed to drag Jasper to the infirmary where the prisoner was kept.It took me a bit of coaxing, but he finally told me the location of the prisoner because I teased that I would not say what he wanted to hear until I had found a way to break his curse.It was childish, I knew, but it worked somehow.I even felt a little guilty to lead him on like this, but desperate situations called for desperate measures.So, that is how I found myself in front of a bed on which a man was lying down. I looked at that man and then at Jasper.“Who is this?” I asked, and Jasper chuckled.“The same prisoner you found inside that secret chamber.”I furrowed my eyebrows. The man did not look anything like the prisoner I had seen. The prisoner had soot covered skin, matted hair and was gravely injured.But the one lying on the bed and covered with a thin sheet looked thoroughly clean. To be honest, this was the first time I got a good look

CeliaMatron did not answer me but turned to look at Jasper instead.“What is going on, prince? I was tending to your father when the guards asked me to come here hurriedly.”But before Jasper could answer, I said in a much confident tone than I hoped to use.“I think I can answer your questions if you answer mine, Matron Arwen.”I said and she finally was forced to look at me when Jasper stayed silent.“What is it that you want to ask?” She finally spoke to me. I gave a sideways glance to Jasper, warning him to stay silent.“Matron, I understand that you have been working relentlessly for the palace and the kingdom, looking after the king and raising the kids as your own.”She had a smug look on her face.“The entire kingdom knows that.”Grace threw me a worried look but I only nodded at her while I stepped forward and replied, “Yes, we do. However, there was something that has been bothering me. Perhaps, you could let me know the secret to your skincare routine.”“My what?” She blur

Celia “Mind your tongue, girl. You are crossing your limits.” I pointed at the prisoner behind me. “This man and the man in the dungeon who was thrown in the dark to rot forever. You simply got rid of people when they did not suit your purpose or threatened to reveal your true face to the others.” “No that is not true.” she turned to look at Jasper. “All these maids, they always hated me for being strict and now they are all plotting against me. Jasper, I raised you as my own flesh and blood. Do…do you think I would be doing anything like this?” She looked at him and I saw her face was red and that tears had begun to leak out of her eyes. She was taken aback, not by my accusations, but by Jasper’s silence. “Please, believe me. That girl is poisoning your mind. Y-your friend, Nymeria, she is the best match for you, for this kingdom. Don’t let the crown fall into the wrong hands.” Matron was pleading while I instructed the maids to button up their dresses. “You all can leave,” I

Celia My fingers drummed impatiently on the table, my voice dripping with frustration. "We have evidence, Arwen. Witnesses who've seen your true nature, who've seen you whip those maids and take from the royal coffers." Arwen's laughter, cold and sharp, cut through the air like a knife. "Witnesses can be coerced, or they can misinterpret things. Don't tell me you're blindly trusting those commoners' words." My eyes narrowed, my patience wearing thin. "I am one of the witness. I had seen you whip Grace and a few other maids long ago. But I knew that would not be enough to earn you any solid punishment. But this…what you did not just to all the maids but to Keltia as well…it shows how rotten you are. We've dug deep, and we've found the truth." Arwen leaned back, her eyes narrowing as well, her voice laced with venom. "And what truth have you found, investigator? That I conspired against Keltia out of some petty jealousy? That I whipped the maids for sport?" My tone was like steel, u

CeliaI simply kept staring at Jasper for a long time as his words reached my ears. He had said some variations of those to me in private, but I had not seen him declare that in public.And I would have definitely not imagined him to say that to Arwen, of all people.But he had. And my heart swelled with pride.This man had taken some time to believe me, as his love for the woman who had raised him did not let him think rationally, but the minute enough proof was provided, he changed his opinion drastically.Arwen was staring at him with a horrified face. “Listen, Prince Jasper, I can explain…”But Jasper only thundered, “Grace!!”I had forgotten Grace was around and that she had almost dissolved into tears. I turned to look at her, but instead of fear, I saw a new expression on her face.Courage.She was staring defiantly at Arwen, who was dangling from Jasper’s hand, trying to free herself from his hold while gasping for air.Grace stepped forward and approached Jasper, who did not

CeliaI turned around to see the man twitch in his sleep. His fingers moved just a little and I saw his forehead crease just a little.“Did we wake him up?” I asked Jasper worriedly and he scoffed, “If all the shouting and whipping did not wake him up earlier, what we did...or were about to...definitely should not wake him up.”I ignored his attempt to pull me closer and start kissing me again. We could do that later, now we needed answers.Even Arwen was taken care of so I felt happy that her threat was mostly gone. Now what remained was helping this man and finding out who did this to him.Pushing Jasper away, I peered at the man lying on the bed, wondering if I had misheard something."He had moved a little in his sleep, hadn't he?" I asked Jasper who kept staring at the prisoner. He raised a finger and muttered, "Maybe I should poke him a little" but I grabbed his hand and pulled it back.My hope began to disappear as he lay unmoving and I decided to step away from him when again,

CeliaAs I kept staring at the love of my life, the fire near the bed of the prisoner flared suddenly.Startled, I craned my neck up to get a better view.It seemed that the prisoner was stirring. Hastily, I got up and ran towards him while the fire continued to flare occasionally.Half of his face was bandaged while the other half was bruised and battered, so it was very hard for me to make out his exact features.But I believed he was not some gruesome looking person before all these injuries had been inflicted on him.He twitched some more, and I saw his eyelashes flutter a little.A plume rose up in the air, turning into a cloud of smoke, the dying embers crackling and sputtering out in a moment.The man took a few deep breaths suddenly, as if the air around him did not contain enough oxygen.And then his eyes flew open.I took a step back to see the eyes…or whatever that was.There was no iris nor pupil. Everything inside was pitch black. The black eyes stared at the ceiling for

CeliaTime seemed to move at a snail’s speed as I kept pacing through the room, waiting for the hour hand to move. The healer had said Xenos would be ready to talk in an hour or so and those sixty minutes felt like the longest I had ever spent.Meanwhile, Jasper was simply staring outside the window with a blank expression. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I did nto even notice him sitting like that.When my legs finally grew tired of pacing up and down, I looked at him and saw the soft light falling on his face, illuminating it.Slowly I made my way towards him and embraced him…or tried to.“What are you thinking about?” I asked in a low voice and I felt his hand reach up to slide across my waist.I guess he had not even done it consciously. He pulled me close and I let him as my face rested on his broad chest, and my small palm could sense his heartbeat from under the shirt.“Nothing specific” He replied after a while but the dry tone told me a lot was going on in his head.“

The Lycan's Obsession Chapter 248
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
The Lycan's Obsession Chapter 245
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
The Lycan's Obsession Chapter 244
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
The Lycan's Obsession Chapter 243
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,
The Lycan's Obsession Chapter 241
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
