CeliaMy hand was still vibrating from the force with which I had slapped Borivin, the imprints of my hand blotching his cheek red.I spat at him and said venomously, “If you dare speak one more word against me, I will claw your ribs out”Borivin ground his teeth as he looked around the guards who he had been talking to earlier.They were too stunned to speak, taken aback by my abrupt move. But my midn was still reeling.Though it felt good to slap him.I had wanted to wipe that smirk off his face.I glared at him as he raised his hand to rub his cheek with a disbelieving look. A few guards scattered away, afraid that I might complain to the prince about their involvement in belittling me.But Borivin was too prideful to follow suit.Thus he looked at me with that same sneer and took a step forward,“Quite strong are you? Let me see your strength”The moment he said that his hand was around me and he pulled me towards him, making me collide hard with him.“I have to make you pay for t
CeliaI was not sure if I heard one bone crack in my rib along with my ankle that sprained horribly and my head that felt as if it had been just squashed like a watermelon.I felt dizzy and stars swam before my eyes. My breathing grew labored and it took me a lot of effort to concentrate on who was in front of me.And to say that it was the most magnificent beast I had ever cast my eyes upon was an understatement.The beast was standing on two legs, its giant paws twice the size of my face, not to mention its broad and massive body.A Lycan.But somehow the Lycan who stood in front of me, looking at me curiously did not appear to stare at me murderously.His broad body was covered in fur and he was as tall as some of the small, short trees. But his strength seemed impressive.If just running into him accidentally crushed my rib, I did not want to wonder what would happen if that beast raised his claws to attack me.And that thought automatically made me stare at his hands.Only now di
Jasper I walked in the direction of the castle, cradling Celia in my arms. She had curled herself into a ball, just like a cat, and was sleeping peacefully in my arms. The walk towards the castle would barely take a minute but my body just wanted to take its time, enjoying the feeling of having her this close to me. I was not sure why I had begun to care for this girl who I met merely a day ago but she had struck me as a ferocious kitten right in the first meeting. There was something about the way she stood in the hall, not cowering in fear but looking me in the eye, staring at the others defiantly. Celia had been standing stark naked in front of the King and my brothers, including myself but she did not show any shame or hesitation. No. She stood with her chin held high up, as if it was she was going to pass the judgment and it was us who stood naked in front of her. And then she had been bold enough to not just meet my gaze but hold it. Nobody so far had done that, not even
JasperCelia resisted a bit in her sleep but I placed her in the soft cushions and gently tucked her under a layer of the finest silk sheets. She let go of me finally and turned to the side. Her abrupt movement made the silk sheet slide a little, giving me a view of her plump behind.Not that I had not seen it earlier. But the way she slept in my bed as if she had always belonged here, made it feel right.Her long hair spilled over the cushions, spilling down the side of the bed as she stretched her leg a little, spraying on the bed like a sheet herself.I let out a chuckle. So she was someone who rolled all over the bed.Not that I would mind.After placing her on the bed, I decided to take a good look at her wounds. Now that she did not have her eyes on me, I got a good chance to observe her.Her pale milky skin had a slight sheen to it and there were a hundred small faded scars on every single part of her body.Maybe she had trained a lot since a young age to become the next beta
CeliaI was not sure how long I had slept but when I woke up, I woke up with a bad headache. Every single muscle in my body ached and my eyes felt extremely heavy.I did not want to wake up so I just gathered the sheets and pulled them up on my head. I rolled to the side and a sweet scent hit me.It was familiar, I had smelled this recently and it was highly intoxicating. My eyelids felt like a deadweight of about 100 kg had been weighing them down so I let my eyes stay closed and pulled the pillow near me.Burying my face into it, I deeply inhaled the scent. It was citrusy, had a hint of mint, and was very delicious.I rubbed my face against the pillow as I inhaled lungfuls of that scent over and over again until I realized something.I had been so affected by it that I did not even realize that the scent belonged to Jasper.With a start, my eyes flew open as I looked at the pillow. It was a rich gold color, unlike the soft pinks I had in my room.Wait had Jasper slept in my bed? The
CeliaFor a moment, he just held me in his gaze, his eyes caressing my skin and a delicate shiver of pleasure worked its way up my core and shot straight up toward my heart, making it flutter wildly.“What do you propose?”He asked while tilting his head to the side.I know he was teasing me but damn that tease was making me feel flushed and worked up.“I…I...I do not know how to thank you for saving my life”I swallowed and lowered my head, not knowing what else to say.“That bastard had it coming for him. I should have twisted his neck right then, back at the hall when he had spoken such nonsense about you.”About me?Did the prince really care about me?Or was it his own reputation that had been tarnished in the process that he actually worried about?“Well, forget about that for now. You belong to the Brightwood pack don't you?”He asked and I was surprised at the abrupt change of topic.“I…I do”“Hmm, then I have heard rumors of some witches tricking some werewolves into thinking
CeliaI tried not to blush hard as his soft and husky voice asked me a question I had no answer to. He did not move to look at me and it gave me enough time to breathe and calm my nerves.And as if to taunt me further, he arched his back and then held the towel in both his hands, trying to reach behind and wipe off the water.I gulped as I took in his broad back, his angular muscles that dipped at the perfect angles, and his shoulders that felt like coiled missiles that would launch a bomb at any second.I stammered, “I…I didn’t expect…’”I tried a lame response but the words would not come out.He whipped around so fast that I barely managed to exhale. His dazzling silver eyes raked me, demanding me to complete the line as he quirked an eyebrow.“Didn’t expect?”“I didn’t expect to see you walk out half naked out of the washroom” I spoke a bit too fast and a cocky grin appeared on his face.“Do you walk out of the washroom completely clothed?”His husky voice asked me and I could see
CeliaHis back was facing me and I found the most perfect ass I had ever seen in my life. Not that I had seen many to begin with.But damn those two buns were as kissable as his sweet lips. How could someone be so God damn perfect was beyond me?Even Jasper’s brothers were handsome but Jasper was just…otherwordly.I took in lungfuls of air as I tried to calm my heart that was galloping with the speed of a hundred thousand horses.And I heard the slightest chuckle escape Jasper’s mouth as if I had exactly given him what he had expected.The awesome view did not last more than a few seconds before he pulled up his boxers and began walking toward the bed.“Are-are you going to sleep?”I croaked and he asked, “Yeah, this is my bed and I am tired”I crouched back, still hugging the sheets as I asked, “Sh-should I go?”He neared the bed and sat on it, making the delicious scent of his after shower waft toward me.“Your choice”Jasper said as he got in the bed and played with the cushions a
