Azlynn’s P.O.V.Perhaps Demrid’s sense of duty for his nation gave Bella some hope that his response could be different if she asked him like that.But I was super disappointed!I would have never voiced this query if she hadn’t caught me off guard. Bella took the advantage of my emotional state and took over my senses, directly questioning Demrid. She was trying to be sure before cancelling him as the option in our lives. I was expecting that Demrid would reply to this question with a simple ‘Yes’ and resume his speech with the hardships of the North Kingdom. However, his jaw tightened all of a sudden, he clenched his fists and said.“Not in a thousand years! Why will I endanger my subject’s life for a mere prophecy?Every resident in the South Kingdom is under my protection, Ann. I will never allow the North royals to harm my people!”He stated his commitment to his subjects, washing a wave of relief over me. His resolute tone made my heart sing as he swore on his life.“I,
Azlynn’s P.O.V. Xavion’s audacity of mentioning the South King’s murder made me chuckle. He must have forgotten that he was standing on his land. “Oh, really? You will fight against south royals single-handedly? Good joke!” Alpha’s face darkened as my mockery hit his aching nerve effortlessly. But I was unfazed. If he could use the old relationship to make my life hell, I had no shame in bringing up his obvious weakness. “After living in Demrid’s territory for years, only you can forget his favors and plan to kill him, Alpha. Well, what else can be expected from a man like you? It’s your favorite hobby to destroy others for fun!” Taunting him for his betrayal, I threw the chef’s knife on the floor and sighed. There was no use screaming in front of a dense wall. Xavion was a stubborn man; it was impossible to change his mind once he decided something. So, I just warned him for the future reference. “Do whatever you see fit, Alpha. But remember one thing: If you ever hu
Azlynn’s P.O.V. “If you don’t go back now, you’ll lose everything. Your mate won’t be able to lessen any pain.” That girl’s mysterious tone shot a prickling up my spine, trembling my knees. I lost my balance and sat down immediately. “H-How do you know it? What’s the danger?” I held her hand, seeking answers. Her warning had shaken me to the core. But before I could ask any further, her eyes turned to normal black with child-like innocence. That five-year-old girl glanced at me. “Who are you, Ma’am? Are you our new teacher?” Gosh! The short display of her powers pounded my heart against my chest. I was aghast to meet an oracle at this academy. Yes! On oracle! Being rare among magical creatures, the oracles were the special kind of warlocks with the ability to see anyone’s future. They were often mistaken as no-mag because of their weak aura. A few decades ago, most of their covens were slaughtered by Vampires, almost ending their race. It was the Moon Goddess
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“He is right before you and you can’t kill him? What kind of joke is this?Leave it. I will do it by myself!”Growling thunderously, that rascal was none other than Alpha Xavion Waller, he was scolding his subordinates for a botched mission. His determination to kill his imaginary rival was commendable, evaporating the vibe of emptiness from the air. Now I realized what I was missing at this high-end party.It seemed that Xavion’s daily dramas became a norm for me, feeling like a permanent part of my fate. I needed to take care of his damaging habits for the sake of peace in my world.Clenching my fists, I discarded my plan of relaxation and stormed towards Xavion. My hands were itching to smack him hard this time. If it wasn’t for my self-respect, I would have punched him in the face. But still, my outrageous tone registered its sharpness as I approached him directly.“Instead of celebrating the success of football, you are planning to murder the king? You’ve go
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“A presser? Why not?We will love to answer your questions.”The distant voice of a man forced me out of the dark abyss of nothingness, jogging my memory. My head felt heavy as I tried to look for a reason for my condition, but my mind went blank. I could only rely on the thrilled conversation around me.“It happened so suddenly that we couldn’t inform anyone. Rest assured; we will throw a grand party for you!”Although my eyes were glued shut, that familiar deep voice churned my stomach as the identity of its owner jolted me awake. I didn’t see that coming from him.Lying on a soft and comfortable bed, I found myself in a luxury room with wall-size windows. The crisp sunlight peeking through the curtain had illuminated the surroundings. Darting my eyes from one corner to another, I spotted a tall man with a towel wrapped around his lower region. He was standing beside the window while talking to someone on the phone.Staring blankly at that perfectly chiseled back, I
Azlynn’s P.O.V.A rapid surge of electricity ran through my body as Bella started growling nonstop. She turned her head to sniff the surrounding air.“Ann, something’s not right. Get up!”My impatient wolf didn’t let me process the shock and took over my senses. I hardly maintained my balance and threw the covers away, rushing towards the bathroom.“Azlynn. Are you ...” Although Xavion called me from behind, I didn’t bother about being semi-naked before him and took refuge in the restroom. I was winded after covering that distance in a record speed, but Bella had other plans. My body moved on its own accord as I removed the towel, inspecting my skin carefully. Bella forced me to check every inch of the body for the proof.“I admit that the alcohol was too strong, but r@pe is a big thing, Ann. Xavion will never do this!”Bella’s trust for that shameless jerk boiled my blood, I fought with her. “He has accepted everything, Bella. There’s no need to defend his wrongdoings. Our
Xavion’s P.O.V. “Mission accomplished!” After a high tide of unfortunate defeats, I received this much-needed notification at the right moment. The shame of being caught so easily almost killed me. I devised a perfect plan, trapped Azlynn, and she bought my act, too. But all of a sudden, she got a brilliant idea of examining her body and revealed the truth. I was only one step away from making her mine for eternity. But alas! My dreams remained unfulfilled! My pathetic murder squad was only sending me failure reports, praising King Vindel’s extraordinary security plans around his palace. That overcautious King seldom stepped out of his safe place. So, I thought of an alternative plan to reclaim Azlynn’s love. A marriage certificate would be enough to buy some time for me. However, I didn’t need it any longer. Beta Alvaro met me outside the hotel and informed me. “You must have received the message from our spy team, Xavion. Here’s the proof of that report. See,
Xavion’s P.O.V.Fuck!The euphoria of freedom evaporated into thin air as Zion mentioned the bizarre occurrence, hitting me out of nowhere. I had foolishly overlooked this fact while celebrating. Speaking of facts, Valerie was indeed my first chance mate, and she was in immense pain, squirming on the floor like a fish without water. The medical staff arrived at the spot to provide her painkiller injections. Her reaction was natural, so I double-checked my situation, but couldn’t find a speck of pain, feeling exceptionally well.It was like I had breathed in peace after so long!As any unusual incident in my homeland could lead to a national emergency, I decided to keep a low profile. My dad had a habit of blaming the white-haired girl for every bad thing in our lives.“There’s a pandemic in our kingdom? It’s all because of that prophecy girl. Radley hasn’t found his mate? The prophecy girl has darkened his fate.We don’t have enough food for citizens? The curse of prophecy
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
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Holy crap!Xavion inquired about the past, bringing up the days of dating. His queries threatened the safety of my deep secrets. “We both were adults, past the age of finding a mate. You were hiding your identity, but your wolf was with you, Azlynn. You must have smelled the bond that time. I didn’t have a mating band back. Then why?”This sudden quizzing game was trouble for me and at that crucial moment, witch Alicia left me alone. She grabbed her grimoire and chickened out of the room. “Notify me when Valerie is here. I will start the preparations now.”Xavion nodded to acknowledge her manners as she gave us privacy. But I was at a loss for words. My heart was thundering against my ribcage frantically. Amidst my real life crisis, I wasn’t able to adjust to the bond and now, Xavion was suddenly curious about the past. His expectant gaze was fixed on my face, waiting for my response. “All this could be avoided if you just informed me about the bond, Azly
Azlynn’s P.O.V.After a fruitless argument with Xavion, my top priority was to seek magical assistance. Finding a method to reduce the attraction of mate-bond was my only option. My fated headache knew that he had an upper hand in the battle. He would definitely take the advantage of my weakness to force the bond on me.Howard had sent Laura as per requested, so I spent my day with her. That little girl reminded me of my own daughter, Hayley. The apple of my eyes was far away from me. I couldn’t contact her because of my broken cell phone. And she was with Demrid, living in the south kingdom. I wondered whether she missed me or not. Witch Alicia was busy meeting with other castle witches, so she came to me after dinner. She was deeply impressed to see the masters of magic.“Little princess, the north royals have established a separate department for witchcraft. The necromancers are appointed and paid like employees, creating exemplary relations with notable covens. It won’t b
