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.“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
Xavion’s P.O.V.“Prince Xavion Waller Salvatore!”Listening to my full name was like a slap to my face, I couldn’t help but feel cringe about my past. No matter how hard I tried, the reality of being a royal born hadn’t spared me. I couldn’t get rid of that fucking royalty even after leaving my dad’s Palace ten years ago. My younger brother, Austin was back to drag me into that chaotic world and add another problem to my list, messing with me. But I wouldn’t allow him to do so. There was a limit to my patience.So, I lunged forward and grabbed his collar, roaring in fury.“One more word and I will tear your head off, Austin. Don’t ever dare to connect my name with your stupid Salvatore bloodline.”To avoid the daily reminder of being the north Prince, I took my mom’s surname and worked hard to build my own world from scratch. Living in that suffocating, cold building wasn’t my cup of tea.Despite my rational objections, my family pretended that nothing was wrong, dismissing my
Xavion’s P.O.V.“Fated mates can’t lie to each other!”“An Alpha possesses the power to identify if someone is lying.”All the facts related to the werewolf community took the shape of a venomous snake, wounding my soul with its sharp bites. My whole existence was on fire because of its lethal poison.After meeting Prince Howard in person, everything I believed and learned until now felt like a fake tale, challenging my beliefs. I was unable to pinpoint what was right or wrong!Originally, I had always thought of him as my enemy, he snatched my Azlynn from me. It was my plan to kill him whenever I get the chance. However, he was way more than just a competition, a person who was a part of Azlynn’s life when I wasn’t around. He blew my world with his piercing truths. I was having a hard time processing what he said. As his icy voice echoed in my head, intensifying my headache, I poured another glass of whiskey. The third bottle in one hour wasn’t helping me a bit. Emptying t
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“What did you just call me, little princess?”My breath caught in my throat as Howard asked me an irrelevant question impulsively, like I wasn’t clear for the first time. The audacity to address him by his name rooted him to his spot.My hand flew to my mouth, covering it instinctively. I was unable to believe the words that had come out of my mouth. Howard was not only my elder brother, he was the heir to the throne. His Royal command was impossible to challenge for a subject. Although I was also a born Alpha, my wolf was way weaker than his as a female. There wasn’t a chance in frozen hell that I could go against his words after being beaten to death.A wave of fright made me numb, I was unable to wrap my head around what had just happened. On the other hand, Howard’s condition wasn’t different from mine, he couldn’t believe his ears for a long time.“No!It can’t be true. How can she …”Gawking in disbelief, he kept mumbling under his breath, striving his b
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Goddess! What the hell was wrong with Xavion? We were in 2025, discussing all the issues of the past for clarification. And despite my brother’s detailed speech, he was still stuck on the topic of that pregnancy test?Gosh! Hadn’t this guy ever heard of moving on?At that moment, I really missed Bella’s spiteful statements. She always mentioned Valerie to justify Alpha’s actions. She would be sad to miss the melodrama due to her slumber.A whimper escaped from my mouth as I clenched my fists, shooting stabbing pain in my arms. It dawned on me that my bones were broken after the assault.Ignoring my suffering, I was going to give a piece of mind to Xavion when Howard got up and faced him furiously.“What kind of evidence do you need to believe that Azlynn never cheated on you, bastard?”Shaking in anger, Howard’s nails elongated into claws, skipping my heartbeat. He dug his nails into his palms to control his feral side with pain and thundered infuriatingly.
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“Will you be satisfied, then?”A volcano of pure rage rumbled viciously, exploding to burn me with its molten lava as a whole. My heart flipped in my chest to see my furious brother in the hospital room.Yes!Howard was back in Lake city!And currently, he was on the mission of giving me a heart attack. I hadn’t seen him so angry in my entire life as he uttered harshly.“So, Alpha Xavion, what do you wish to know about me? I am here. Ask anything you want!”Firstly, that assault, then an unknown savior, and now, my brother’s surprise return, these one after another disasters tried to explode my head, destroying my mental health. I experienced a massive jump scare at every slightest sound in the room. The waves of intense fear froze the air in my lungs, making me fear our safety.My brother and Xavion’s face-to-face meeting was something that I had never imagined. As a Royal heir, Howard was never free for trivial matters. So, he didn’t interfere in my persona
Xavion’s P.O.V.Shoot!Amidst all the chaos, I totally forgot to inform Azlynn’s family about this sudden tragedy. Daleyza and Hayley must be worried sick about her. In a trice, I left a message for Daleyza and instructed Beta Alvaro to explain the whole situation on my behalf. Staying by Azlynn’s side was my top priority. Then I called the doctors as she opened her eyes with grave difficulty, surprising the medical staff once again. They were clearly in disbelief to see her awake so soon.“Based on her injuries, we initially thought that the patient would wake up after two or three days. It’s indeed a rarity!”Thanking my Goddess in my heart, I vowed to visit her temple daily for fifteen days to express my gratitude and listen to the doctors’ instructions carefully. They thoroughly analyzed Azlynn’s present condition and reached a conclusion.“Her vitals are normal, with no fever or infection. So, administer the medication for pain. She needs complete bed rest.”They allowe
Xavion’s P.O.V.“Something bad is about to happen!”Like a recorded message on voicemail, Zion was repeating this sentence over and over again since morning. I was fed up by his false alarm system.Today was a harmonious day, we had spent a quality time with Azlynn in the office. She even agreed to work overtime and came to the bar for the meeting. This blissful time was enough for me to ignore my wolf’s nagging. So, I sent Azlynn to fetch a bottle of Champagne despite his protests. “Why don’t you ever listen to me, Xavion? I am telling you that something bad is about to happen.You shouldn’t have sent her alone!”I was a bit relaxed as I had given a server an extra amount to assist Azlynn throughout her stay here. So, there was nothing to worry about. However, I was sipping my drink with my fellows when Mr. Julius’s gut-wrenching scream echoed in the surroundings. “My throat. Ah!!!”Coughing uncontrollably, he clutched his chest, rushing a wave of panic in the room. James
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“That’s what you asked for!”The server shuddered, chickening out in a split second, I spun on my heels sharply to leave too. One glance at the room and I had seen five Alphas of the North, the quintuplets Gallagher. Those dick heads were renowned for their lust and greed. Their family was a separate topic in the royals’ education, making us aware about the dangers of that bloodline. The rumors said that they were secretly funding rogues for criminals’ activities as well. My flight mode activated, hastening my feet to move away from this calamity. But escaping those Alphas in their prime wasn’t an easy task. Just as I stepped out of the room, a large hand grabbed my hair from behind, yanking me inside.The door was shut on my face, jumping my heart to my throat.“Where are you going, princess? We have paid for you!”Jerking my head twice, Alpha Gallagher threw me on the couch, I swiftly balanced myself and turned to say. “You are mistaken here. I am not a pr
Azlynn’s P.O.V.A bullet of panic rose to my chest as Mr. Julius winked at me with a devil smirk curling his lips in a naturally rebellious way, his new playboy look was drastically different from his solemn one. My gaze dropped to Xavion, seeking a response. I wanted to confirm whether it was a mistake to come here or not. It seemed like my boss was here to talk about business, not playing with girls. He didn’t pick up the conversation and took out an envelope from his coat’s pocket.“You made a big deal about my contract in the drafting ceremony, Mr. Julius. What were your intentions?”He lit a cigarette, adding another pungent scent in the smelly room. That enclosed place with a cocktail of foul smells made me clench my teeth in disgust, waiting for Mr. Julius’s reply. “Are you still stuck on old issues? World is progressing fast, Mr. Waller. Keep up with its speed to be successful.”He eyed his assistant, who was infatuated by the dancer on the pole. James swiftly composed
