This one should be easy to guess. At first, I did not want to drop the hint but then I did not want you all to spend a day wondering who it was. And, once again, I would request you all to please please drop a review on the main page of the book so that the app promotes the book and more people get to read the story. I guess the app flagged a few words in yesterday's note, so I would repeat that you can find me online by searching the words author, natalie, and winter(without the commas of course) This book is participating in a contest so every review, gem, and comment matters.
Celia Keltia took a deliberate pause and she kept looking at Jasper intently. I could see the cogs of his brain working and trying to piece everything together. The visit to Keltia was turning into a surprising event, one that I had not been ready for. But more than me, Jasper seemed to be shocked a lot. When Jasper did not say a word for a while, Keltia’s gaze flicked to me. I whispered in a low voice, “Matron Arwen” I whispered the name and Jasper turned on his heels so fast that I could swear I heard a bone or two crack. Vasil had gone incredibly quiet and did not speak a word but was merely hearing us out as we discussed things he knew nothing about. However, I was glad that he had atleast stopped hurting Jasper. We could sort our mess later because this was an even bigger one. I looked at Keltia and the expressions on her face told me I was right. Jasper however was not buying it. “Now you are just spewing nonsense, Keltia” He spoke and she muttered, “your girl took her
CeliaJasper was a strong man, an honorable one and the way he had lived his life so far had made him impervious to shocks or surprising revelations.But, he was not taking this one easily. And, I had to give him credit that he had not simply closed his hands upon her throat and killed her for speaking ill of his beloved Matron.“My father…he is many things but I would not believe that he is a womanizer. If he had her all these years around him yet he never took her as his queen, what do you think that makes him?”Keltia gave him a side-eye and corrected him,“I never said your father was that. He only got easily swayed by those around him because, after this witch cursed him….he suddenly became alone.”“Power is a fickle thing, Jasper. It makes people change alliances and switch their motives in the blink of an eye. So does fear. And your father had lost the former and gained the latter. He wanted someone to replace me. His kingdom and his throne were about to crumble, everything he
Celia We all looked at Vasil and I suddenly remembered he was still here. But he was neither growling at Jasper threateningly nor was he glaring at me for having kissed someone who was not my mate. In fact, he was listening to the conversation intently and even tried to show active participation. It was as if he had just forgotten he was lunging at Jasper a moment ago and was now suddenly a part of our team. Even Jasper was taken aback by his sudden change of behaviour but only threw him a confused look before returning his attention back to Keltia. Time was of the essence and we were running out of it. “Hmm, there might be a chance for us to save Jasper but I repeat, I cannot guarantee its safety. It is risky” She said furrowing her brows as she thought of her plan. Meanwhile, Jasper tried to pull me away and interjected, “Can I talk to you Celia for a moment please?” He asked me pointedly and I shrugged. We stepped to the side and he muttered, “Celia, I am not sure what is wr
Celia Vasil was pulled away from me and the next second he fell on the floor after ebing tossed away like a dead goat. “Jasper!!” I screamed at the lycan prince who had torn Vasil away from me and hurled him into the air. He was glaring at Vasil who scowled a little and winced as he rubbed his elbow. “What was that about?” I asked and he came near me, standing directly in front of me. “You better reject him right now or he will die today” Jasper spoke, his eyes fuming with anger. The lycan prince was behaving like a jealous teenager and I was not sure if I should feel amused or sad. Keltia cleared her throat, “We should rather focus on you not dying first, lycan prince.” “What did this key look like?” I asked her while rubbing my temples. She began, “It was truly special. The key is actually the same necklace that Arwen accused me of stealing. The pendant was sphere shaped and depending on the way the light shone on it, it would sometimes look metallic and sometimes look like
Celia She only nodded her head as Jasper slowly got up from the stone table. He winced a little and there was blood on his lips, indicating that he had bitten on his tongue too hard, but other than that, he appeared fine. Keltia looked at the door of the cave and slowly proceeded towards it. I helped Jasper find his shirt and handed it to him as we all walked with her toward the door. She went to the wall and roamed her hands over it before she found a small indent and pressed on it. The cave’s door slid open, and she let out a big sigh of relief. The sun had already gone down, but it was just dawn, so we still had some light. Keltia slowly lifted her leg and placed it on the border of the cave entrance. The air around her foot crackled and whizzed a bit, but it let her pass. Her foot fell on the ground and she looked behind at us, a radiant smile on her face. “I...I can step out,” She said with a childlike glee and walked out of the cave that had been her home for several year
Celia Jasper did not loosen his grip on my hand and we all walked out of the cave. The coachman was waiting for us a few feet away, the nightsteeds grazing on the grass happily, while he was snoring softly. Jasper looked at the coach and then at me and cleared his throat, “We are back Henry, let us go home” Henry gave a startled cry and hastily woke up from his sleep. He had thrown his legs up on the wooden bench and his head leaned back on the carriage wall but sprang up and smoothed his clothes as soon as he heard Jasper’s voice. He ran towards us and bowed, “I was beginning to wonder where you were, your majesty. I was even contemplating going back to the castle and alerting the others.” Jasper replied dryly, “Yes, I can see that” Henry gave a sheepish smile and looked at me, “My lady, hope everything went fine” I nodded my head, “It did” Then Henry’s eyes fell on Vasil and he looked at him with squinted eyes, scanning him from head to toe. “Who is this young man?” He aske
Celia I gulped nervously as Jasper maintained a firm hold on my hand while closing the door behind us. “Rest Vasil, I will come to meet you soon” I managed to say as the door closed and Jasper strode away from it with me in tow. “What is the issue?” I asked but he did not say a word and when I tried to resist, he simply threw me on his shoulder, making me give a startled cry. There were a few guards on the upper floor but all of them politely bowed their heads as they saw Jasper take me…to his room? My heart began fluttering as he strode in and threw me on the bed before turning around and closing the door. I looked at him warily and spoke, “why are you behaving like this?” He came forward in three large strides and was directly in front of me. I was sitting by the edge of the bed and he lowered himself a little, his hands gripping the edges of the wooden frame of the bed as he brought his face to my eye level. “Do you love me?” He asked and that question took me off-guard. I
CeliaI blinked in confusion but he only said, “Do as I say so that I won’t punish you, kitten”His husky voice was already making me feel the need to kiss him and he was asking me to turn around.My disappointment must be visible on my face but he gently pushed the pillows away so as to make room for me.I crawled on my knees as he adjusted my position and then said, “Place your hand on the headboard and hold it”I furrowed my eyes but did as he asked and gripped the edges. Then he pulled the satin cloth up and let it trail on my bare skin, making me wiggle a little.Next, he folded it into pleats and then brought it in front of my face. “Don’t worry, I am only going to blindfold you”The satin cloth then came on my eyes and I let him tie it firmly in place. “Can you see anything?”I shook my head, “Good”He then slowly nudged forward and plastered his body upon mine. A wave of pure ecstasy tore through me at the sudden intimate contact as he ensured my back was resting on his chest
