The Lycan's Obsession Ninety-five
JasperI left Celia in the hands of the two sisters as I stepped out of the door. I had ensured that the two women kept her busy for hours while I left for my next mission.Reaching for my coat pocket, I pulled out the small purse in which I had plucked a few small ropes of the nightshade plant.After ensuring that it was still safe, I looked around once before entering the forest. It had been a rather long cut and was not my usual route but I did not want to take any chances.I looked up at the sky. There was no moon today.It was perfect and I did not wish to risk going inside the forest from the palace grounds. The last time Borivin had almost been just a short distance away from figuring out what I was doing.And I did not wish to tempt my fate.Thus slowly but carefully, I made my way through the forest, my heightened senses allowing me to navigate easily in the darkness. As I drew closer to an abandoned cave, I could feel a sense of unease building within me.I pulled out the pa
The Lycan's Obsession Ninety-six
Jasper “What is it?” I enquired and she gave me a playful smile. “A simple one to see if you could be considered worthy by our Goddess.” I looked behind her and at the tall imposing statue of a Goddess that loomed over us, her head almost touching the ceiling. She had the face of a phoenix and the body of a woman. The statue seemed to look down at us, the sharp angular eyes that seemed to emit some powerful fire beams and burn down whoever dared to displease her. As I observed the statue of the Goddess behind me, Keltia explained, “She is Goddess Fyere. The first phoenix Goddess who could not only harbor the power of fire but also all other elements.” “So something happened that she lost the other ones?” I enquired and I saw Keltia shift uncomfortably in her seat. Apparently, talking about the Goddess’ shortcomings or misdeeds would not make it any easier for me. “Do not try to mock my God. Yours isn’t free of any taint either” She said and I stiffened. I was neither a believer

Jasper I let out an irritated breath, took the small vial from her, and safely tucked it in my pockets. Keltia came with me to the door to see me out and stuck her staff in one of the walls. Though I believed it was less about being courteous to her guest and more about not wanting me to wander into her territory unsupervised. But it did not matter as I did not plan to invade her space as of now. If things went downhill in the future and I was desperate to receive the ink, maybe I would do that. For now, I just wanted to get back to Celia. The door opened and I stepped out of it and was greeted by the cold night again. The fresh air of the forest felt nice and I took lungfuls of it after being enclosed in that dimly lit cave for a long time. The way Keltia had spoken about the favor and the payment for next time was something that bothered me but I pushed that worry to the back of my mind. I reminded myself that I had to return to Celia and take her back to the palace. The Vampire
The Lycan's Obsession Ninety-eight
CeliaThe steady rhythm of the nightsteed’s hooves clopping against the road lulled me to sleep and I was not even aware of how time flew and how we reached the castle. Somebody shook me and it took them three tries to wake me up. I opened my eyes, expecting it to be Jasper but it was Grace.She smiled at me and spoke, “My lady. Let us get you to your room then you can sleep again”I straightened my back. My neck was feeling a bit sore after having leaned on the coach’s wall awkwardly for the length of the ride.“Wh-where is Jasper?” I asked and Celia answered, “He went to do some work and asked me to get you to your room.”I let her help me get out of the carriage. In a weird sense of way, coming back to the palace somehow made me feel like I was returning to a familiar place.It would be a far cry to call it my home but it did make me feel as if I could rest without getting thrown out of the room or attacked in my sleep.As I and Grace chatted on our way back to my room, I saw Matr
The Lycan's Obsession Ninety-nine
CeliaThe next day I was woken pretty early by Grace to get ready for our drive to the Vampire ball. I was too anxious to eat and only forced down half a piece of bread down my throat when Grace would not stop pestering me about it.I somehow gulped the tea to calm my nerves and let Grace do my hair and choose a dress for me. She pulled out a simple and elegant pink colored gown for the travel.“How is this one, my lady?” She enquired as she held the dress up for me to examine. I only waved my hand away and mumbled, “Whatever”She braided my hair and packed a few essential belongings before reminding me a dozen times how to apply make up.That was yet another small but important lesson Jasper had asked her to give me. There would be no maids around me to help in the Vampire castle so I would be pretty much on my own.She had detailed and given me a make up tutorial detailing what type of make up to put on what type of occasion, what shades go best with what types of dress colors etc
The Lycan's Obsession Hundred
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
The Lycan's Obsession Hundred and one
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
The Lycan's Obsession One hundred and two
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

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
The Lycan's Obsession Chapter 246
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

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
