Celia

Jasper was sitting on the seat opposite of me, his eyes fixated on the map that he held in his hand. I looked outside the windows by lifting the drapes a little. The forest path through which we were traveling was quite dense.

The road was less used by travelers and was just the one Jasper had shown me earlier in his study. This route cut down our travel time by more than half though it meant we had to travel through a dense thicket.

I craned my neck outside the window and noticed that the tree trunks were wide and thick, their dense leaves hiding the sun as we moved deeper into the forest. It was broad daylight but due to the thick foliage, it felt like we were traveling through the night.

There was also a certain cold seeping in through the forest. The fact that our carriage was made of metal meant that the walls were doing a poor job of insulating us from the chilly winds.

I looked around to find where the lanterns were but could not find them. Feeling confused, I enquired t

    CeliaThe carriage was probably going through a rocky terrain again as it felt like our coachman, Henry, simply wanted me to keep colliding with Jasper’s chest.His grip on me tightened as we wobbled along with the carriage that rattled on the dirt ridden road. “Perhaps, I should get back to my seat” I offered but Jasper did not let go of me.“Get all the warmth you can from me, I cannot let you fall sick”But as I felt the chilly wave of cold around me, I recalled something again,“Did you not say that the Vampire lord’s castle sat on the edge of the Azureus Ocean?”Jasper nodded, “I did”“Then how come it is cold here? Aren’t places around oceans supposed to be humid?”“Vampires use magic to regulate the temperature around them. Some places are colder than the rest and if their population is more or a stronger vampire is in town, he will you know…’accessorize the place according to his wishes”I raised my eyebrow at that.“So they also have magic like witches…werewolves and lycans

    CeliaThe soft clicking of the nightsteed’s hooves against the forest ground had stopped altogether. I could hear the soft rustling of leaves in the background like white noise.I inhaled a breath, I could still smell the familiar scent of Jasper around me. His hands were around me and I was still nuzzled in his arms.“Wake up sleeping beauty” He murmured in my ears and I felt an electric current sizzle through me as his full lips lightly grazed my earlobe.My eyes felt heavy and my mind felt foggy. “You seemed to have got some nice beauty sleep” He said as I opened my eyes.When I looked around I saw the familiar carriage walls around me. “Where is Henry?” I asked and he gave me a puzzled look. “Where else would he be? He is driving the carriage”I craned my neck up and sure enough I saw the coachman getting down his seat.“Where are we?” I asked as I stifled a yawn.“We have reached Ivan’s castle. Time to rise and shine”He said as he held me by the waist and meant to pick me up b

    CeliaAs we went down the stairs, I had a strange feeling settle in my stomach. The candle lights sent a soft glow on the walls and our shadows seemed to merge with the other vampires that lurked from every other corner.I looked at a pillar and saw a pair of bright eyes staring at me but then those eyes quickly disappeared.“Just how many people stay here?” I inquired as Isadora lead us to the dining room.“Well, the castle was deserted and the little numbers of vampires were scattered all over the forest. But ever since Lord Ivan’s arrival, more and more are returning to the castle.”“I see”“Speaking of the Vampire Lord, where is he?” Jasper quipped and Isadora turned to look at him.“Lord Ivan was prepared to receive you but some urgent work forced him to pay his attention elsewhere. For now, I am afraid, I will have to be your host”I furrowed my eyebrows. What work could be more important than meeting Jasper, the prince he had been eager to step into his castle?I had been half

    CeliaIsadora left the room and closed the door quietly behind her. I stared awkwardly at the lycan prince as he looked around.“The room is not that bad” He tried to fill in the silence as I nodded. We had never slept in a room together. In all these months, he had always slept in his room and sent me to mine.The room was no doubt quite big and spacious but it was kind of odd to have him in my room where he would be around me 24/7.In a way, it would be good I told myself. It would give me more time to plan the next moves and decide on how to tackle a situation with the vampires here.I found the lounger beside the window and replied, “You can take the bed, I will sleep there”Jasper replied, “That looks a bit awkward for anybody to sleep. The bed is quite big, we both can easily sleep”He spoke while scratching his eyebrow. I did not know what to say to that so I said, “I will change into my pajamas first” Jasper nodded and went towards his bag. “ I think I will take a shower fir

    CeliaI let out a scream and held up my hands to cover my eyes. Jasper chuckled as he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist. “It is not as if you have not seen me naked, my lady” Jasper muttered and took another towel to wipe his hair.He was right. I had not only seen his shaft but held it and let him pump it in my mouth, swallowing every little drop.Why was I suddenly feeling flustered? Maybe, the thought of being in one room with him, a room that was in the enemy territory was making me have jittery nerves.The fact that this was some sort of wicked scheme of the Vampire lord to make us stay in the same room, to give in to our desires while he would then attack us while we were blinded by our desires was making me extremely nervous.I just wanted this damn ball to be over so that we went back to the castle. I would have never thought that I would miss the wretched castle so much.They say you miss the things when they are taken away from you. Sigh. Maybe, my brain was

    CeliaFaint rays of the sun were glinting on the window and filtering in through the narrow slit in the window that was left open to let in some air.Groggily, I got up from the bed, propping myself on my elbows as I looked around. Instead of finding my familiar room, I saw an unexpected surrounding.‘Oh shit” I groaned mentally, recalling why I was there. I sat up on the bed and looked around but there was no sign of Jasper.I called his name but did not get a response. Probably he had already gone to have breakfast.I recalled Isadora and her blood thirst and my hunger died again, I did not want to see her enjoy blood as if it was some delicacy, the crimson red color drooling out of her mouth as she stuck her tongue out to not let a drop go waste.I shook my head and focussed on the walls that were painted a soft shade of lavender, and the furniture is a mix of vintage and modern pieces.I stood up and stretched, feeling my muscles loosen and relax. I walked towards the window, my b

    CeliaI took a few deep breaths before stepping out of the room. I could hear the crowd talking and people chatting with each other merrily as I took in the scene below me. The room assigned to us was directly above the hall where the revelry was being held.I placed my hands on the railing and looked down as I saw women and men all dressed in finery. The ladies were wearing elegant ball gowns, and matching fine jewelry and some even wore hats.They were all twirling and showing off their petite figures and slim waists while trying not to get their big gowns trampled under anybody’s feet.Meanwhile, my eyes scanned the room and saw that almost everybody was wearing a mask. Wasn't it going to be in the night? Gladly when I fished into the pockets, I found a mask. It matched my outfit, black and silver with gold and some yellow thrown around, making me look like a regal princess…minus the gown of course.I traced my fingers on the railing and prepared myself by wearing gloves of the sa

    CeliaI accidentally collided with a couple dancing nearby us and muttered an apology as I quickly tried to get away from the dance floor.It was dizzying to be surrounded by so many people dancing so closely, some starting to make out right in the center of the floor, ignoring the hundred or so pairs of eyes that were drawn to them as they slowly overcame or rather did not mind the attention they were receiving. They were too lost in the pleasure of making each other moan and squirm in delight.I felt a sudden sense of shame so my eyes quickly ducked. I was not used to seeing such public acts of affection that bordered on the edge of indecency. The lines were turning blurry.Also, why did that stranger feel familiar to me though I could not put a finger on exactly what made me feel that way about him?Had Ivan mixed something in their drinks already? I felt thirsty all of a sudden but did not want to drink anything unless Jasper gave me a go ahead. And now that I recalled him, where

    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
