JasperNymeria placed her lips on mine and it invoked a primal need inside of me, a wanton that I had buried deep down in my heart, into the darkest pits of the abyss.Her kiss brought him out of hiding, crawling out of its hideout as a flame lit up inside of me.My cock began throbbing wildly as she slowly kissed me. All sense of rationale flew out of my head as I could only think one thing, the need to let myself free.She leaned forward and I let her kiss me. Nymeria whispered, “Your worries and pain are mine, prince”Nymeria’s silky voice caressed me as my cock stood upright. My eyes grew dark as I looked at her rosy lips.My sight blurred as she whispered, “Let me take away your pain.”Suddenly, my head felt light and I could not see anything. It was as if I was surrounded by nothing. My heart began to feel content and at peace. It was as if I was floating like a cloud, weightless and without a hundred worries.But there was someone with me. Someone I knew, someone whose touch se
IvanAs I looked outside the abandoned building that I had now taken as my refuge, I clenched my fists.I had been long gone, looking after urgent matters that needed my time, and attention. So, by the time I returned here, things had gone downhill. The Xurian empire had snatched away our lands, established supremacy, and turned all of us into their minions. And it was not only us vampires but also other supernatural beings such as witches, faes, and many more.I looked outside the ruin of a building, while my legs dangled down the archway of a colonial architectured window that seemed to give in any moment. A place that used to be my stronghold, a place that exuded power…now reduced to ruins.My fists clenched at the thought of the humiliating way I had been defeated last time by the King…, particularly a certain silver-eyed prince.My eyes were fixated on the large castle that stood tall and proud on the land, my land.I was the supreme being here, not that Brigdain and certainly n
Jasper The wide doors of the meeting hall were thrown open and everybody was already seated in their respective chairs. As expected, my father had called for an emergency meeting. And there was a good reason for it. For everyone had seen the black carriage enter through the huge palace gates. It had been a while since a vampire carriage had entered our palace. Usually, it would just be the werewolf trucks and vans. The vampires loved their old fashioned carriages for some reason. I had seen it through my window and knew that father would want me in the meeting hall. There were only a handful of people in this meeting as opposed to the high-ranking members that my father always invited for other meetings. My elder brothers were both seated in their seats, listening to whatever my father was saying attentively. Meanwhile, I walked in with an air of indifference, dressed in my usual black pants and a blue button down shirt. My gaze flicked to the chairs and I noticed that neith
Celia I was brave. Or I was being extremely stupid. But I did not want him to find out about my recent escapade. And I also did not want him to label me a weakling. The way he had reacted after our kiss, and the way he had begun collecting the papers lying on his bed without even looking at me again had been too hurtful. I wanted him to show I was strong, that I could also be unaffected by his touch or our nearness. Maybe, climbing down the walls of such a huge palace had not taught me a lesson already of how my recklessness would lead me to my doom. But I did not care. The words had tumbled out of my mouth and now it was time for action. So, I steeled my heart and prepared myself for the ‘task’ Jasper did not say anything further but he grabbed my wrist and headed straight to his room. The guards had probably gone to the rounds but I caught Grace running through the corridors, holding sheets in her hand. I did not look at her for I feared it would give away what I was going
Celia The hot water must have long run out and we were now bathing in cold water but it did not matter. The combined heat pulsating through our bodies was more than enough to light up the entire palace. Jasper’s eyes were glowing like molten lava as he looked at my lips again. He was going to lean in when I shook my head, “Step back,” I said, placing my index finger on his chest. He was surprised at the control I could exert and I felt even surprised at myself. I would pat my back later though. Now, I just wanted to tame this untamable prince and his long shaft. “What are you doing?” He asked, knowing very well what I was doing. I was being stupid but I wanted to see it through. I couldn't help but stare at his dick. It was thick and long and I wondered how that big a thing would ever fit anything. He was too big. But then he was a lycan. I gulped nervously as I kept looking at his long shaft that stood tall and proud. “Having second thoughts?” Jasper asked. His eyes darkene
CeliaI woke up after lying in the bed for what felt like decades but there was still a throbbing headache, pounding on me as if somebody was drilling holes in my head. Not to mention the rest of my body that felt as if I had climbed a mountain.I had no idea how long I had been asleep, was it hours? days?My eyes were still shut and I did not have the energy to open them either. I just wanted to lay in the bed, buried under the sheets when I heard the faint rustling of clothes.And then the memory of my ‘task’ with Jasper hit me like a trainwreck. I had simply left him in the shower, turned around, and thrown myself on the bed after the tiring ‘task’. I did not have the energy to handle the emotions it would bring forthI was too tired. I would do that later, when I had enough time, recalling every single expression of his and remembering the delightful moans that escaped his lips as I sucked him dry.Now, I just needed something hot to drink to clear my senses.“Or do you want to
CeliaI asked Grace who stopped sobbing and looked up at me again. Her face was red and snot was running down her nose.“N-no my lady”She whimpered as I tried to calm her down.“I lost her the day I was brought here and then sold to your prince”I said without meaning to make her feel sorry for me but the way she flinched told me I was just a bad consoler.“Oh, I am so sorry for your loss, my lady”Grace spoke weakly as she tried to get up from the bed.“My mother was a strong warrior, she fought bravely in many battles alongside my father, who was also killed in the same battle as my mother. The day I was brought here against my will. But you know what?”She looked at me in confusion and I continued, “Use the pain as a medium to make you strong. That way your enemies won’t be able to hurt you”I spoke and she blinked, trying to digest the words I had just said.“I…I don’t understand, my lady”I neared her and gently took a scoopful of salve in my palm again and began applying it to
CeliaThere was the prince, standing in his grey pants and a blue button down and waiting for me to hurl accusations at him. He did not offer any explanation, nor did he give any indication if he wanted me in the room or not.Our eyes had just met but he quickly tore his gaze away from me and he began gathering his stuff as if I wasn’t standing there.That infuriated me even more. Just what did he think of himself?I was the one who had sucked him dry, left him feeling high and breathless and then I had been dismissed to my room.He had not even been courteous enough to pluck me off my feet and deposit me on my bed, maybe tuck me in my sheets.But what was I thinking? Jasper would never do that.An awkward silence filled the room as he began walking out of the room. I wanted to wipe that smug look off his face so I simply marched towards him, my hands placed on my hips as he stepped away.“Are you just going to pretend that that did not happen?”I asked angrily and he ignored me comp
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
