Azlynn’s P.O.V. “All eleven boys are injured? How the hell is this possible?” A startled squeal came out of my mouth as I read that full article for details, the shocking news of a horrible accident crumbled my world around me. According to the reporters, the players were going to the gym together for exercise when a truck collided with their van, crushing it. The rescue team had to cut the metal in order to save their lives. My head spun as the bleakness of losing my business fucked my brain, I stuttered while ordering Daleyza. “T-Take care of Hayley. I-I will go to the hospital now.” However, my bestie surprised me with her efficiency, she reported to me. “There is no need to go anywhere, Ann. I have confirmed everything. Despite being wolves, there is no chance that players will recover before the tournament. We are doomed!” She mentioned the rules of new players’ selection that they had to register before the deadline to participate. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be
Xavion’s P.O.V. “See, the record isn’t in her laptop. Ann has stolen fifty thousand dollars from the company!” Watching the live stream of CA corporation’s recent drama, I was pleased with the performance of Mr. Hudson, my mole planted in that company. He followed my instructions and framed Azlynn in a money scandal. She was about to lose her job. Daleyza, her boss, sent me the letter to refuse collaboration with me, her daring to ignore my Alpha authority challenged my hold over the Lake city. I was all set to destroy her sports agency, removing Azlynn from it was my last task. Sipping my whiskey, I enjoyed the exchange of useless reasons and excuses, desperately waiting for the happy ending when Zion noticed Azlynn’s teary eyes. She sniffled, “Please trust me. I have never stolen anything.” “You are an asshole!” Zion growled, baring his claws in fury. “I asked you to win her back, not hurt her. Azlynn is crying because of you.” Well, it was a small price to pay for the
Xavion’s P.O.V.Grabbing Valerie’s neck, I slammed her to the wall, her horrified shriek echoed in the room.“What are you doing, Xavion? Leave me ...” But I couldn’t hear anything after her shameless confession, elongating my claws.“You hired rouges to harm Azlynn despite the fact she is a fragile omega. How can you even think about it?”Valerie was a greedy woman, I knew it, but it never crossed my mind that she had criminal tendencies. Her audacity to hurt Azlynn trembled my hands with repressed fury. I punched the wall right beside her face and growled.“You may have forgotten, but I am still your Alpha. I won’t let it slip, Valerie. You will be punished for your crimes.”With that, I increased the pressure on her neck as ending her useless existence seemed like the most appropriate solution. I would be free of this damned mate-bond as a bonus. Azlynn’s pain, her fear, and her condition in that rundown building flashed across my mind, intensifying my rage. Her suffering w
Azlynn’s P.O.V.I had never believed in magic in my life, so when the record files mysteriously disappeared from my laptop, I didn’t take it as a glitch.With the eyes of the entire staff fixed on me, there was no place to hide. In order to buy some time, I decided to play along. Acting like a pitiful employee, I promised to pay back fifty thousand dollars to avoid the police complaint and accept the dismissal letter.Daleyza called me when I was alone in my cabin. “Oh, my Goddess, Ann. I can’t believe what just happened!”Gasping in disbelief, she explained the situation to clear her name. “Trust me, Ann. I didn’t know that Mr. Hudson would create trouble. I hired the staff with their promising background. No one is a newbie here.”She told me about the sudden disappearance of files from her computer as well, making me suspicious.“When Mr. Hudson came to complain about you, I swiftly checked my laptop to end that matter right away. But unfortunately, I couldn’t find th
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“You can go to hell with your ridiculous offer.”Throwing that stupid file on Xavion’s face, I shouted, wishing to pluck out that smile from his face. He had crossed all the limits today, offering me such a job to take advantage of my financial state. My disguise provided him with the opportunity to poke his nose in my life once more. I was ablaze with fury.On the other hand, Xavion was all chill as if he had expected my response, he stretched his arm behind me and slid closer.“Come again, Azlynn!”His query temporarily halted my rage, making me look for an answer. I wanted to pinch his aching nerve with my words to lessen my injury. However, my furious mind couldn’t process his question, so I asked him.“What do you mean to say?”The flash of golden in Xavion’s eyes paused my heart for a moment as he leaned in, whispering huskily.“You just said my name, Azlynn. It’s been five years and trust me, no one had said it better than you.”My body froze to the spo
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Uncle Earl’s over cautiousness was the proof of his services for the royal family, it was compulsory to have facts and figures from more than one sources to match the standards of the royal court. He stayed here on Howard’s request and installed spy cameras, I was indeed grateful for this favor. My hopes were high while clicking the links in the email. The cameras were planted at such angles that I could see the screen of the laptop, providing me with information regarding the work done during official hours. I keenly observed Mr. Hudson’s movements once again.Everything was fine until I found him returning to the office yesterday after working hours, raising my suspicion. I was aghast to see the duplicate keys in his hands. “Holy crap!How is this even possible?”When we bought this place, Howard made sure to change all the locks and gave me the only pair of keys, no one had access to them except me and Daleyza. My eyes widened in shock as I saw Mr. Hudson
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“Mr. Waller has transferred five million dollars to Mr. Hudson’s account.But why?”Daleyza gasped, commenting on the transaction proof in shock, she voiced the query in my mind. For a while, my brain couldn’t formulate any thought other than Alpha’s connection with my office’s employee, let alone wondering about this amount. Initially, I had doubts about the spy status and all that, but I didn’t imagine in my wildest nightmares that Xavion would be behind this. Like, why would he send this money to a person he didn’t even know?Daleyza agreed to my point, racing her brain to solve this mystery ASAP. “Ann, I have checked Mr. Hudson’s previous work record, he had never worked for Mr. Waller.Above all, why would a celebrity like Alpha Xavion have a relationship with an ordinary finance manager, paying him five million dollars for any reason. Trust me, Ann. There’s something fishy!”Well, I could only read this report due to my sudden brain freeze, so Daleyza
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“What?”I blinked slowly, and took in the sight of my new work space, processing the purpose of this setting. It was unbelievable that I had to spend my entire day of work with Xavion. In most of the offices, secretaries had their separate cabins as the bosses didn’t like any interference in their personal space. But here, it seemed that my own privacy was at risk. How would I work on my revenge plan when he would supervise me 24/7?This first hurdle in my plan trembled my heart, I felt defeated without even starting. Bella comforted me immediately.“Que sera, sera (What will be, will be), Ann. We will definitely figure out something.”Calming my racing heart, I composed myself as Xavion’s amused remarks forced me to get my shit together.“Oh, didn’t you like the material of the chair or the height of the table, Ann? I can replace them for you. Speak your mind freely here!”Yeah, of course! You could do anything, Jerk!Putting a formal smile on my face, I
Azlynn’s P.O.V.My valid query paused the yelling session in my room, challenging Alicia’s magical assessment. All inquisitive eyes were fixed on her as she spoke. “Would you like me to explain, Miss Valerie? Or should I leave it to you?”Valerie’s chalk-white face was an epitome of horror as she spluttered in response.“What’s here to explain? It’s obvious that you are slandering the Alpha heir of the Atkins family, Witch. Needless to say, those mating bands were the proof of our genuine bond.”Alicia stepped forward, pointing her finger at Valerie. She looked dead into her eyes and warned her. “Don’t you dare question my magic, Miss Valerie. I will forget that we are standing in the north royals’ castle!”The echo of her cold threat prickled goosebumps over my skin, stating the fact that Alicia wasn’t someone to mess with. She summoned her grimoire and took out a large mirror from it. “As you have chosen to insult my magic, here is the answer, Miss Valerie. What about
Azlynn’s P.O.V. “Valerie?” Bella’s sudden confrontation caught Xavion by surprise, he tensed up immediately. “How did she come into our conversation, little wolf? What are you talking about?” He calmed his nerves in a split second and asked Bella softly. “You just woke up, little wolf. How are you feeling now? Are your injuries healed?” He tried to overlook the main topic, but Bella was persistent. She replayed the scenes of our meeting with Valerie and lashed out. “Don’t reciprocate until mate answers our every single question. Only you can do it, Ann!” With that, Bella ran to hide in the darkness of my mind as Zion started grooming her lovingly, nuzzling her neck. His cuteness was impossible to ignore for my love-struck wolf. Her heads-up call was enough for me to take charge, returning to my Alpha mode. I pushed Xavion away and sat up. “Bella is fine, thanks a lot. But what about your profound affection for Valerie, Your Majesty? Aren’t you trying to relive t
Azlynn’s P.O.V. “Should we call Prince Howard? I am getting worried now.” The worried murmurs slithered into my ears as I slowly regained consciousness, waking up from a deep slumber. The last thing I remembered was donating blood to Xavion. And Sabrina was by my side, praying for her son’s life. Then what happened? How could I zone out? Seeking answers, I struggled hard to get up, but an iron hold pulled me down, making me squirm. My eyes flew open as the sparks dancing on my skin told the name of my companion. “Xavion?” Blinking rapidly, I saw Xavion’s anxious figure, gazing down on me. I asked him. “How are you feeling now?” Placing my hand on his cheek, I sighed in relief, the warmth of his body proved that this wasn’t a figment of my imagination. Xavion was alive, breathing properly. This was more than enough for me to relax. His deep voice calmed my nerves as he replied. “I am fine. All thanks to you, Azlynn.” Lying closer to his bare chest, I could feel hid
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“What’s wrong with Zion?”Bella rushed to check on Zion as the calamity struck us all of a sudden, I couldn’t believe my eyes for a second. Xavion was an Alpha wolf, blessed with an efficient healing system. I just saw his forehead’s wound healing at a rapid speed. Then why the hell wasn’t he recovering from his shoulder injury? It wasn’t that I had cut off the link between us.Xavion lost his footing and collapsed, hardly maintaining his balance. I quickly gave him support as he chuckled meekly.“I am an unfortunate Alpha, whose mate is more interested in his dad. My pain is nothing for her.”Goddess!Taking advantage of my worry, Xavion tried to guilt-trip me. I smacked his other shoulder and scolded him.“Stop spewing out nonsense, Xavion. Answer my damn questions!”“I-I was …”Xavion struggled to speak, but broke into a fit of cough, coughing uncontrollably. My heart dropped to my stomach as he spat blood and breathed in sharply. “Being a werewolf Alph
Azlynn’s P.O.V.The ferocious roar sprinted my heart out at a fucking thousand beats per seconds, chilling me to the bone. The embarrassment of being caught red-handed knotted my stomach as I turned ever so slowly. Scowling fiercely, Xavion was leaning against the door frame, throwing daggers at me with his eyes. I was at a loss for words when he growled.“It’s been less than twenty-four hours since I left the pack. And here you are, poking your nose in others’ matters. Why can’t you just stay still and stop causing problems for a while?”Xavion went on a rant about how I was an impatient soul, but my stupefied gaze was fixated on his bloodied face. The stench of the blood in the air put Bella on edge as she spoke.“Oh no, Ann. Mate is bleeding. He is injured!”The stabbing pain in my left shoulder informed me about Xavion’s wound as the mate-bond picked up its services, sharing my life source with him. I inhaled deeply and comforted my anxious wolf. “Xavion isn’t drenched
Azlynn’s P.O.V.A part of my soul had trusted Sabrina completely. I hoped for a positive response. My sanity was dependent on her statement. She was a part of the royal family, so her confirmation would definitely ease my mind. My expectant gaze was fixed on Sabrina’s face, which had lost all its colors after my query. She took a moment to compose herself and sighed.“I knew that one day, you would ask me this question. But what to do?Xavion rarely listens to me!”Sabrina complained about her perfect son, I was all ears to find out more. She seemed troubled while saying.“My mate had sworn to take King Vindel’s life. Dashon issued the orders of his murder. There is a file in the record room with his imperial stamp regarding this decree.”She told me about the official meetings held to plan my dad’s murder, discussing it as a national problem. Sabrina sounded apologetic as she said.“As an omega, I didn’t have a say in the executive matters. Dashon isn’t a person who will e
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Valerie jerked Laura’s meek figure forcefully, ignoring her pitiful cries. Her innocent pleading cut through my heart as she begged for forgiveness.“I-I didn’t mean to bump into you, Miss. I am so sorry!”However, Valerie wasn’t satisfied. She rejected Laura’s apology and bared her claws at her. “Servants like you don’t deserve to live, mutt. I will kill you …”“Enough!!!”Unable to keep calm, I hollered in fury. “Don’t you ever dare to touch my people, Valerie!”My threat shifted up Valerie’s attention, so Alicia moved ahead and rescued weeping Laura. Her swollen cheek drove me crazy as I charged at Valerie. “How can you be even so heartless to hit a child like this, Valerie? Laura isn’t a maid to whom you can punish as you see fit.”Keeping my anger in check, I tried to knock some sense into Valerie’s dense head. But it turned out that there was only garbage instead of brain in her skull, as she scoffed off defiantly.“These mutts are born to serve the
Azlynn’s P.O.V.My grip on the towel tightened as I glared at that flagrant beauty in front of me, lying on the bed. Valerie’s daring to barge into my personal space didn’t sit well with my sleep-deprived self. She flicked her hair and said, “You know, this is the same bed where we made love after a magnificent mating ceremony, Azlynn. Xavion invited all the Alphas of the prestigious families to witness our union.”Well, there was no need to inform me, as I had watched that function live to conclude my relationship with Xavion. A part of me hoped he would come for me even after the breakup. However, the massive gathering following all the traditions was arranged in the Lake city, celebrating the union of a football star and the Alpha heir of Atkins family. Their couple was worshiped like a blessing of the Moon Goddess. My mouth turned sour as Valerie flexed her relationship, delivering a free lecture on their passionate s*x life. I felt sick to my stomach as she got up and t
Azlynn’s P.O.V.I held my breath as his honey brown eyes burned into mine, igniting the fire deep within me. Xavion’s mouth crashed against mine like he had been holding back for too long. Like, he was fighting with his instincts with every breath and finally gave up, claiming his right over me. The warmth of his lips coursed pleasant sparks throughout my body as he kissed me passionately.It wasn’t a gentle, loving kiss we shared in the past, but pure fire, a boundless passion, whose storm threatened to blow up my world with its intensity, rendering me motionless. I should have stepped back or at least pushed him away, but instead, I melted into him, tasting the novelty of his lips. There was an invisible force holding me in its tight grip. Xavion released my head and wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling my flesh against his hard muscles. His vibrating chest hinted at his effort to stay human. A belated gasp parted my lips, inviting him, begging him for more. My hazy br
