The Lycan's Obsession Eighty-three
Celia I lay on the bed in a crumpled heap of limbs when I heard the softest whisper. It was the voice I would never forget. “Celia” It came again. I struggled to get up from the bed, to open my eyes that were sewn shut for I did not want to miss the chance of seeing that face again. “Celia” I forced my body using the little strength I had to open my eyes which were already moist. I don’t think I had stopped crying since I returned to my room and somehow fell asleep. “Mom,” I whispered. Grace Klaus, my mother and the most compassionate and fearless woman I had ever seen in my life, was looking at me. She looked so young, so beautiful. Her big brown eyes were looking at me with concern, her long silky hair slipping out of the ponytail. A kind and loving smile blossomed on her face as she raised a hand to cup my cheek. “Get up sweetheart, it is morning” She gently caressed me and I only snuggled further in her embrace, holding her hands between my small ones. I was looking at

Celia I angrily stormed into my room, half-blinded by tears and half by the irritation swelling inside of me. I was trying to shove down the guilt that was threatening to creep up my spine. The way he had quietly muttered those two words, “I know” had been more of a slap than any snarky remark I would have expected him to throw at me. Just why did that goddamn prince affect me so much? He should be the one pleading at my feet, wanting to apologize for his cruel tactics. But here I was, beginning to feel guilty for something that he did not even say out loud to me. “Argh” I pulled at my hair and dug my fingers into my hair, trying to ease my frustration. I had gone to give him a piece of my mind, not return feeling as if I was the one at fault. Just why and how did he manage to make me feel so horribly confused each time? I went to the mirror and looked at my reflection. My hair was messy and so was my dress. I did not bother trying to tame them and looked at my reflection that

CeliaAs we discussed the action plan for gathering proof against Matron Arwen, I finished another plate of cookies that Grace had brought from the kitchen hurriedly after seeing how quickly I finished the first plate.It seemed my stomach needed food while I hatched a plan. As I was busy discussing the next steps with Grace which were more of trying to ensure that she would not back out at the last moment, there was a knock on the door.I furrowed my eyebrows while Grace immediately stiffened.She sprang up from the bed while I tried to gather my senses. I feared it was the prince himself while she feared that it was her arch enemy.She began stammering, “I…I will hide in the washroom, if it is the Matron tell her I am scrubbing the toilet”“Calm down and stand here with me, Grace”But she was not even listening to me, “Or…or tell her I went in the garden to work in the sun, that will please her”I held her by the shoulders and said in a stern voice, “Shh, stop being so flustered. I

Celia“How about right now?”Jasper enquired, a challenge in his eyes as he looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I had not expected him to be so eager but more than that I had not expected myself to be eager either.“What are you going to make me do this time? Are you going to stab me for a change? Or are you going to make me run through the palace for my life as you hunt me down like a vampire who just got a taste of my blood?”If Jasper’s eyebrow could have gone any higher, he would have definitely done it. I could see his eyes rolling so far back that they must hit on the inside of his skull.“I had something different in mind….but given your suggestions, now I wonder if your ideas would make it more interesting”Jasper said with a playful smile on his lips. My eyes went wide as I thought of running through the passageways while he stalked me like a predator.Or held a knife to my heart and stabbed me until I bled.An involuntary shudder ran through my body, tingling my spine as he

Celia He said in a challenging tone as I gave him a bewildered look. I could tell that he was enjoying my confusion, a mischievous grin playing on his lips. “Huh, what do you mean?” I asked but Jasper only flicked his eyes at Edriel and gave him a nod. Edriel nodded in return as well, a silent dialogue passing between them as Edriel changed the tempo of the music. While it was all soft and smooth earlier, now it became faster and more intense. As the music changed, Jasper took me off guard. He spun me around, our bodies coming close to each other before he pulled me back in. Our eyes met, and I felt the tension between us sizzle again, my senses hyperaware of Jasper’s fingers resting at the small of my back. I could see a flicker of desire in Jasper's eyes, and I had the mad urge to kiss him. His gaze was trained on me and as if he read my thoughts, it dipped from my eyes to my slightly parted lips. "I think you've gotten the hang of it," Jasper said, breaking the spell between

CeliaAfter the unexpected dance lesson, my feet were on fire. Though fighting was a lot like dancing, I was not used to so much twirling and bobbing up and down my heels.My feet ached and so did the rest of my body. What was Jasper planning to make out of me? An acrobat who could dance her way out of tricky situations or a fighter who would just waltz her way out of Ivan’s grasp?I had no idea but the way he had slammed our bodies together still gave me goosebumps. I had never imagined dancing at a royal palace with a prince and this would have been a nice wish come true had the prince not been so intent on keeping that act as a lesson.I rubbed the back of my neck and made my way toward my room, longing for a hot bath. That reminded me of Grace and I called for her immediately. She answered with a smile and got the bath ready for me. I wished to just lounge and relax my nerves.The small bathing pool or tub or whatever it was that was in my room had been unused ever since I had ta

Celia“Well now you have ten minutes until I come there and drag you out of your bath myself”I irritatedly pulled off the cucumber slices and ate them slowly and methodically as Jasper furrowed his eyebrows, waiting for me to get out.“I am not done yet. My body still hurts”But Jasper was having none of it, “This is important. After we return, I will myself put you in this hot bath again”He said, a devilish smirk on his face.I rolled my eyes. “But I barely got any rest. My feet hurt”He took a few steps forward and reached the pool. I was glad for the dark herbs and rose petals that were covering me.Not that he had not seen me naked before but I did not want to be all dripping and wet around him.Rain chuckled at that thought.My wolf who would usually stay quiet had a habit of making her presence known at the oddest times.“Barely? It has been close to ten hours since the dance lesson, my lady”I blinked, “What?”Jasper chuckled, “Yeah, you probably fell asleep in this hot tub s

CeliaI pressed on. I knew he was not sharing everything with me. There was a look of hesitation on his face so I decided to use it to my advantage.“Please tell me. You are arming me with weapons and tacts but leaving a gaping hole in the armor. I need to know some facts and information that you are keeping from me”Jasper gulped and I saw his Adam’s apple bob. His eyes were searching me, maybe calculating how much he could tell me.“I have bled, broken my bones, and made you bleed too…I have done everything you asked, just why won’t you share anything with me?”I grumbled. This secrecy was killing me.We were going to the Vampire’s lair tomorrow and I knew nothing about Jasper, his past, his reasons for doing things or hiding things from me. It was infuriating.“...including mine”He added to his line after a lot of deliberation. Wait what?Why would I need saving from him…or his lustful eyes?Granted, I did not want him anywhere near me at first and had been thinking of ways to ru

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
