Azlynn’s P.O.V. “I want to stay with my mommy.” “She needs rest. Go and play with other kids!” “No!” Firstly, I thought that my mind was playing tricks on me as these hushed whispers slithered into my ears. They were becoming more clear with every passing moment. My eyelids were glued, it was so difficult for me to open my eyes, but the worry trailing the concerned words clenched my heart. Using every speck of strength, I tried several times, finally able to open my eyes. But the sharp brightness in the surroundings closed them instantly. Blinking rapidly, I was trying to adjust with the light when a cute tone rejuvenated my soul. “Mommy, you are up!” “Hayley!” The happiness of my precious honey’s voice made me forget everything. I didn’t even question how I reached into this hospital’s room, and grabbed her delicate hands. “Are you alright? Did you eat anything?” Hayley hurriedly hopped on the bed, circling her arms around my neck. She looked at me lovingly. “
Azlynn’s P.O.V. “That insolent jerk! What else is remaining now?” After calling me a slut, Xavion left me raging in fury, his audacity to connect multiple boyfriends to my name was indeed atrocious. Like, how could he even question me about my personal life after five years? He accused me of cheating, trusted his beloved Luna blindly, and still, I was the bad one to move forward in my life? Unbelievable! Swearing to cancel his contract with my company, I called Daleyza to prepare a notice to deliver after the new year. I couldn’t stand the sight of that idiot anymore. Moreover, I specifically instructed her to not inform Howard about the abduction, and filed a police complaint. However, it was in vain. My brother’s spy, Daleyza, reported to him without thinking about the consequences, Howard was growling over the phone. “That’s why I don’t wish to leave you alone, little princess. What if you got hurt? What would we do if your identity was exposed?” In addition to
Azlynn’s P.O.V. Social media trial? You gotta be kidding me! Although I hadn’t used social media in the previous five years, I was roughly aware about the hazards of these platforms. Valerie was threatening to throw me in the world of relentless bullying where merciless netizens were hungry for a minor issue, venting out their daily life’s frustration over the internet. The language used on these sites wasn’t for women as it could range from the curses to the personal attacks, ruining their public image and integrity altogether. Not to mention the craze of fans, they never forgave any negativity in their idol’s life. As Valerie was up for a battle, I didn’t hold back and said, “You are threatening me for nothing. I don’t have any contact with your husband. You know, you are an insecure woman, randomly blaming others for your marriage problems. I asked you to speak good before my child, and you started spewing out nonsense, insulting your mate by slandering his good
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“OMG! Really?”The opportunity to work with my university’s team soared my heart high in the sky. I didn’t waste a second and fixed a meeting during lunch break. With only a few days left in the tournament, my company was in dire need of new contracts. I was thrilled to score big in one shot.Hayley’s school was starting tomorrow, so I had decided to meet her teachers today. But this work emergency delayed that visit. I left that introduction for later and reached the campus fifteen minutes before the agreed time.The football coach, Mr. Mario welcomed me at the gate, he hadn’t changed a bit after fiver years.“Long time no see, Azlynn.”His signature smile refreshed my golden memories, flooding my head with the scenes of my freedom. I inhaled the familiar scent of the ground and smiled warmly.“It’s indeed long, Mr. Mario. I hope you are doing well.”After exchanging pleasantries, he guided me to his office. The team players were gathered after lunch there.“
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.By the time we laid tangled in the sheets, I felt it in my bones. The strength of our mate-bond registered its presence with every sensation I hadn’t experienced before. It must be the magic of heat that despite being exhausted, I was down to the fourth round when Xavion buried his face in the crook of my neck, breathing heavily.“That was mind-blowing, Azlynn.”His hold on my shoulders tightened as his body shook, giving me an idea that he needed a moment to catch his breath. But the sharp pain born in my lower region as he shifted, adjusting my legs around him.“It might hurt, Azlynn. I hope you will bear with me.”The golden spark in his honey brown eyes hinted at his wolf’s passion. His inhumane voice sounded apologetic yet excited. “If you are looking for the perfect moment to mark me, now it’s the time, mate. You can get back at me by biting hard.”Fuck!I squirmed uncontrollably as his member swelled inside me, causing great discomfort. It truly felt like an ep
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Xavion’s soulful voice made my heart sing, erupting butterflies in my stomach. I hadn’t imagined in my wildest dreams that he would ever prepare anything like that. However, it wasn’t over yet!Alpha guided me to the balcony, opening the glass door. The scene of the glimmering lights stole my breath away. Roses twined along the railing and the petals scattered over the floor were like a trail of love and longing. The delicate fairy lights shimmered above us, casting golden halos over a dinner table set for two. The scent of roasted garlic and something sweet lingered in the chilly breeze of freezing north. Xavion pulled out my chair, just like the same quiet gentleman who had once stolen my heart. I noticed his excellent manners and courtesy in the live stream after the match. Xavion was caring, calm, and composed despite being a college student. His gentle nature like my dad caught my eye among the crowd of handsome boys. It wasn’t that he was the only good-
Azlynn’s P.O.V. As the night spread its massive wings, prevailing darkness in the surroundings, I started feeling nervous, second guessing my decision. My heart stumbled over its rhythm while thinking about the real deal. No matter how much I comforted myself, the dread related to my first experience was still there. I did know what to do or expect from tonight. Although I hadn’t done the deed, watching adult movies gave me a rough idea of the actual intimacy. I wondered whether I should scream or act like the girls in those videos, who seemed to enjoy that company a lot. Rubbing my sweaty palms on my dress, I sat on my bed, waiting for Xavion. He would be here any minute as I had sent a maid to inform him that it was a D-Day (not the doomsday though). As expected, Xavion dealt with all the official matters swiftly and arrived in an hour. He was pleasantly surprised to see me all dolled up. “Is this for me, Azlynn?” He moved forward, staring at my painted face wide-eyed.
Azlynn’s P.O.V. “Going where?” Although I had already heard Xavion at first, I asked a question, giving him a chance to reconsider his statement. “Hayley is having lunch. Would you like to join us?” My mature approach was supposed to do its trick, informing Xavion that I didn’t wish to argue in front of my pup. But he didn’t consider my little girl’s innocence and spoke sharply. “Hayley is fine now, in perfect health to live with his father. I have informed King Demrid. He is on the way.” Well, that was it for my seriousness. I glared hard at him and said. “I don’t know what your definition of fine is, but my precious honey has just started recovering. Moving places isn’t safe for her.” As I tried to reason with him, Hayley also supported me. She spoke cutely. “Savior uncle, please let me stay. I am a good girl. I won’t trouble you.” Her innocence melted my heart into a puddle, even a cold-hearted beast was bound to say yes. But that was Xavion, my fated headache.
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“Ann, what are you doing?”Unaware of our agreement, Demrid was startled to see me kneeling. He demanded an explanation.“It’s too rude to keep others out of a conversation when there’s a public gathering. You must respect the basic rules of the royal visitors, King Xavion.”Demrid’s queries couldn’t get any answer, and it wasn’t my concern. My cold gaze was fixed at Xavion after submitting to him, waiting for his approval. He remained indifferent, as if unaffected after witnessing his favorite spectacle.Xavion eyed Beta Alvaro, “Take the kid. She can stay here!”Thank goddess!I didn’t pay any attention to the drama around me and got up, stretching my arms to pick up Hayley. Alvaro brought my precious honey to me in a split second safely. “Mommy!”Crying profusely, Hayley hurried to hug me, just like I was desperate to feel her warmth, squeezing her too close to me. Her delicate heart frantically beating in her chest was the only thing that kept me sane at
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Goddess!The magnitude of Xavion’s anger trembled the ground below me. His cruelness shook me to the core.“Whether she lives or dies, I don’t care, King Demrid. Take your kid and get the fuck out of my land. Otherwise, I will kick you out …”His monstrous rage swiftly converted into a shock as his gaze fell on me. Xavion’s jaw clenched as he spoke authoritatively.“What are you doing here, Azlynn? Go back!”Well, my identity as a prophecy girl and Xavion’s fated headache wasn’t a secret. So, I had no hesitation to face Demrid with my original hair and eye color. Taking a deep breath, I moved forward and confronted Xavion fearlessly.“As I said before, I am seeing my daughter today!”After showing the middle finger to Xavion’s authority, I turned to meet Hayley. But Alpha stepped down from the throne and flashed before me. “I specifically asked you to stay in the dining hall. How did you come here?”As he was adamant about pushing my limits, I poked my fin
Azlynn’s P.O.V.My precious honey!As soon as my little daughter’s name flashed across my mind, Bella got alerted. She tried to listen to the private conversation of Xavion with Alvaro, they must be discussing some important matter through mind-link.Taking advantage of Xavion’s mark on my neck, she was successful in catching a whiff of their discussion. My heart hitched to my throat as Alvaro spoke helplessly.“King Demrid is here with his daughter. I can’t just kick him out. It’s against the rules of diplomacy.”Demrid?A soft pain in my chest coursed through my body, reminding me of my unfulfilled love. Demrid was my choice of a life partner, a perfect friend. He had secured a special place in my heart shortly after our first meeting. I didn’t get much time to spend with him, but the moments we had shared were close to my heart. It now dawned on me that I had left him hanging after promising to marry him. The guilt of ghosting him aside, my prime concern was Hayley. Why did
Azlynn’s P.O.V.I didn’t know I was supposed to babysit a grown up man as Xavion complained, blaming me for abandoning him. “What was so special here that you left me in bed alone? Is this stove better than me?”His loud shouts garnered the other servants’ attention, entertaining them with a free show. I could see them exchanging glances and biting their lips to stop laughing. So, firstly I sent everyone away. “Please leave!” Then, as soon as the kitchen became empty, I jabbed my elbow in Xavion’s rib cage and growled.“What the hell is wrong with you?”My precise blow loosened his hold, so I turned to face him, pushing his hands away. “What do you mean by abandoning you? Can’t I come out of the room for food? It’s almost lunchtime, sleeping beauty!”Holding his chin, I made him look at the clock, proving my point. Xavion’s scarlet face instantly became normal as the realization hit him hard. “Oh, it’s 01:00 pm!”He scratched his earlobe, chuckling nervously. “I woke up
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
