CeliaThe rest of the day passed in a blur and having nothing else to do I trained my ass off. I had been working out so much that Grace had to look all over for me and force me to stop for the day.I didn’t do much but just ran around and did light stuff but it felt nice to be in the open.Mostly word had spread by now of Jasper marking me and I made it a point to make the necklace visible so that everybody would leave me alone.And it worked wonders.Nobody dared look me in the eye or run their sleazy gazes up and down my body. It was as if I was invisible to them and they maintained a safe distance from me and did not dare look at me.I felt relieved and my anger was slowly turning into guilt again. Or maybe it was my workout that took it all away?The necklace gave me some sort of power but I had no idea what was going on between Jasper and me. We could be partners if not friends and yet that steamy night had opened doors for something more.Then back at the training, the way his
Celia The doors flew wide open and I felt my feet freeze in the tracks. Jasper was sitting on the table, and on his lap was a girl who had just given a startled cry due to the loud banging of the doors. But that was all the reaction she gave. Obviously, who would look at me when you could straddle his highness? She had her legs thrown over either side of his and her back was facing me. Her hair was long and reached her back but it did not hide the fact that she was wearing almost nothing. When the door crashed open, the girl did not immediately react but she took her time as she got down from Jasper’s lap. And, Jasper’s eyes met mine. I could not hide the look of hurt that flashed in my eyes. Nor did I fail to notice that she was extremely beautiful. The girl was slender and petite, she had an hourglass figure and the almost transparent bluish dress she was wearing, hugged her curves tightly, and flowed down her knees like it was made of water. It was shimmering like the su
Jasper“Did she just call me your fling?”Nymeria asked in an incredulous voice as her azure blue eyes widened into saucers.But before I could answer two loud sounds filled my ears. One was of Celia closing the doors as if a horde of monsters was coming at her.Nymeria’s quill fell from her hands and she placed her hands on her ears, knocking off the inkpot in the process.Another second later, the sound of the glass crashing on the floor and flying everywhere rang through the silence.“Oh, I am sorry”Nymeria bit her lip as the inkpot fell to the floor with a thud and broke into several glass fragments.I placed my hand on my forehead and replied wearily, “Go get a new one”She bent down to gather a few pieces of glass but I stopped her, “don’t bother, get someone to clean the mess. You focus on your work”Nymeria nodded her head and went out to find a palace servant to get her an inkpot and new quills.I did not bother answering her first question as I was not sure of what was goin
Celia The sun was almost up the horizon when I got up from the bed. I had been tossing and turning in the bed, all alone and I woke up with a headache. Rubbing my forehead with my fingers, I looked around. I was in my room, all alone and there was no sign of Jasper ever having come inside in the night. Frustration boiled in me again but I got up and decided to train by myself again. I just would become smarter, and faster and leave this palace and the prince for good. I went to the shower and took off my clothes, and stripped off my bra and panties before turning on the hot water. It worked wonders on my sleep deprived frustrated self as I took my time cleaning myself, and lathering the soap. I had left the necklace on, I did not feel like parting with it though it was a thing given to me by Jasper. It was a strange feeling. When I was near him, I got angry and when I was away, I wanted him around just to bite his head off. “And, lick his chest” Rain supplied. She had gone s
CeliaI was hanging by the harness and had climbed almost 15 feet high when I heard a very familiar voice behind me.It was Jasper.And he was standing in his training gear.And obviously, he was pissed.And, it was directed at me.Boy, I was fucked. No surprises there.“My lady, do you need a ladder to climb down?”He asked in a mocking tone. I turned around to meet his eyes but my stupid gaze fell on his body as usual.He was wearing a thin vest and grey shorts. The muscles in his chest were very visible and so were the tattoos or whatever they were on his chest.I had been gawking at his very prominent chiseled chest but the tattoos reminded me of how I could not roam my hands over them even if I wanted to.Thus, I forced my eyes to travel up and rest on his face. His silver eyes were cold and staring at me with a low simmering rage.Grace was quick to put distance from both of us and pretend to be fascinated by the wall. The other guards too looked around as if not knowing what wa
Celia “What the…?” I had started but Jasper turned around and in a second he was upon me. His hands clutched me by the throat and he held me up. My feet were dangling in the air as he walked forward and pinned me to the wall. “Just stay within your limits, Celia.” He growled and the way he said those lines told me it was high time I shut up. So I did. “I have bound you to me, do you get that?” He asked and I nodded my head as if that explained everything. “The necklace that you show off all the time, that is no ordinary piece of jewelry.” Jasper growled as he cooled off his rage and let go of me, making me fall to the ground for the second time. He was mad at me and it felt like it was not because of my tamper tantrum outside. Jasper raked his hands through his hair and turned his back to me. His vest was of made of a thin, breathable material and I could see through it. There were scars and wounds on his back but also another set of runes on his back. The girl had been pro
JasperThis girl was driving me insane. I tried being nice to her, but still, she was angry. And when I was rude and cold to her, still she was angry.Just why was she so damn confusing?First, she clawed at me back in her room suddenly and it took me some time to understand that she was having a panic attack. Since she didn't want me around, I asked Grace to keep her company and even opened up my private balcony.Not that it was completely mine and it had been remodeled but I did not want to dwell on that for now.Then I let her rest, let her get some space, and then worked on my anger, brought in Nymeria to get myself inked all over again so that no such incident ever happened again.Yet she was giving me the cold shoulder.I, Prince Jasper, the one lycan prince even King Brigdain himself feared.She was haughty and that loud mouth of hers felt nice when I kissed her senseless and the way she moaned under me.It had been hard to keep myself under check after just one kiss. I had kep
CeliaIn my haste to take him by surprise, I had just shoved my legs straight into Jasper’s face. I had not even thought about what I was doing but when he inhaled deeply, I felt a shudder of pleasure erupt through me.Damn, how could I be so stupid?So, I let go of his face and lowered my legs but I saw the way his eyes darkened. They held so much more in those silvery orbs that my nerves had gone all haywire.Jasper loosened his hold of me, but I didn’t want to. I wanted him close, I wanted him near me, I wanted him to look at me.I did not want Nymeria running her hands all over him, I wanted it to be me.But, I was too proud to admit that, so my tongue simply uttered something I wish I could take back.“If you win, I punish you and if you win, you can punish me”A fire erupted in Jasper’s eyes at that. His voice sounded husky when he spoke, “What can the punishment entail?”“Anything the other party desires,” I said with more conviction than I felt.Who was I fooling? He could str
