Azlynn’s P.O.V.
“Valerie is my fated mate!” The volcano of revelations rumbled, burning me with its molten lava, my heart was pierced with a thousand fiery needles at once. Staring at Xavion in a catatonic stupor, I let my tears stream down my cheeks, losing my composure. His blunt response hadn’t left any room for discussion. Seven days! Xavion hid the news of his fated mate for seven days, looking for an excuse to rub his disloyalty on my face. He was such a mean planner. His commanding Alpha tone failed to affect me as he ordered me firmly. “Who is that man? Tell me the name of that bastard you are fucking behind my back, omega.” A sudden surge of fire in my chest converted my pain into fury, making me look straight into his dark eyes fearlessly. I jerked his hand away. “His name is none of your fucking business!” My harsh tone raised an octave, creasing Xavion’s forehead, but I couldn’t care less. Saving my face in public was the only thing on my mind. “Congratulations on finding your fated mate, Alpha Xavion. I wish you all the best!” Xavion’s face darkened, his keep-your- mouth shut glare bore into mine. He grabbed my wrist and snarled at me. “Answer my fucking question! I have asked you something, omega!” Alpha Xavion was the epitome of power and authority, he never failed to amaze me with his enigmatic personality. But now, I only felt repulsion, his warm touch churned my stomach. My voice became bitter with resentment. “You can’t question me about anything after selecting your Luna. We are done!” For the first time in two years, my wolf came forward to assist me. I freed my wrist from Xavion’s steel grip easily. “Merry Christmas, Alpha Xavion! Have fun with your Luna.” Rubbing my eyes mercilessly, I spun around sharply, leaving the party with my head held high. My wolf, Bella, fastened my pace, aiding me to run away from the hall. I burst into tears after leaving the building. “Why???” The scenes of our two years of relationship flashed before my eyes, laughing at me. I couldn’t find any mistake in loving my celebrity crush. There was no doubt that I was Xavion’s one of the biggest fans across the four Kingdoms, cheering for his every success. He was my idol, the love of my life, I didn’t hesitate to leave my homeland for him. Walking mindlessly, I was oblivious of colors and lights in the surrounding, my world was darkened by the cruel betrayal of my lover. It reminded me of Christmas three years ago when I asked my dad for permission. “I would like to study at the University of South, dad. Please allow me to go there.” My dad raised his brow, “You are only fifteen, princess. Even if I pull some strings for you, the administration will catch your lie because of your appearance.” As passing college wasn’t a problem for a brilliant student like me, my dad highlighted an important issue. So, I promised him. “Please give me some time for preparations, dad.” From gaining weight to studying without a break, I did everything to enroll in the University of South. I wasn’t even sad while leaving my Palace, winning over my crush’s heart was my only dream. My dad prepared fake ID and papers for me, “From now on, you are Azlynn Eastwood, an omega from the suburbs of South kingdom. Your scent will be altered from an Alpha to an omega. No one should know that you are the princess of the East Kingdom.” Soon, Azlynn Eastwood, a nerd and extreme introvert became a cheerleader in the University of South, following football star Xavion Waller like a moth to flame. Luckily, my advances caught his attention, and we started dating. It took us a month to be exclusive! Everything was fine, we were madly in love with each other. He even promised to marry me as his Luna, then how could he do this to me? My trail of thoughts was abruptly halted by my wolf’s comment, she spoke bleakly. “He has found his fated mate, Ann. This was bound to happen!” So, my years of sacrifices, love, and affection were nothing before a mate-bond? If Xavion only wanted to be with his mate, then why did he fill my heart with dreams? How could he forget his promises and slander me like this? Overthinking was causing a short-circuit in my brain, burning my nerves with its sparks. The devastation of losing my love overpowered my senses. I was lost in my thoughts when the fireworks in the sky broke my trance, the exhilarated greetings, bells of church, and the songs of prayers echoed in the surroundings, reminding me of my own milestone. Raising my head, I glanced at thousands of sparks, and glittering golden and silver showers in the sky, and congratulated my wolf. “Happy eighteenth birthday, Bella. We are indeed destined for loneliness.” However, the colorful spiral of whirls arranged into Alphabets in the sky, startling me. The pang of betrayal cut through my soul once more with the greetings. “Merry Christmas, Valerie! Love, Xavion!” A desolate shriek rolled out of my tongue as my head spun, splashing down two rivers of despair from my eyes. Xavion had crossed all the limits tonight, burning the last bit of our connection by using my birthday party to insult me. Walking out of the Campus’s gate, I was on the verge of nervous breakdown when a black Limousine stopped before me. A man over 1.9 m tall, dressed in a pure black suit came out of the car. His warm voice was like the ray of light in the impenetrable darkness. “Happy birthday, little princess. Did you recognize Alpha Xavion as your soulmate?” My brother, Howard’s query broke the bounds of my restraints. I rushed to hug him. “Xavion has found his fated mate, brother!” Howard secured me in his embrace protectively. Unsettled by my anguish, his chest vibrated with low growls. “Tell me, little princess. What can I do for you? Your brother can avenge your honor.” With the power of the entire east Kingdom, it was child’s play to take care of an Alpha of a pack for us. But I was done with all the suffering. Sobbing piteously, I requested him. “Take me home, brother. I am tired!” … That heartsick brother-sister duo rode the black Limousine to leave the campus, closing the chapter of unrequited love. They were unknown to the fact that a mobile camera had saved this moment from afar …Azlynn’s P.O.V. *Five years later! * “Dad, you must see this file! Our little princess has contributed a lot to our family business.” It’s been five years, and my dad hasn’t forgiven me for my wild adventures. So, this business file was one of the countless attempts of Howard for our relationship. As usual, dad didn’t spare a glance for my achievements and asked. “Did anyone know that it was her idea?” Howard’s face lost all its colors for a moment, he looked at dad helplessly. “No, dad! I know that no one should be aware of our little princess’s presence …” “Good!” Dad nodded, handling him another file. “Go and attend the meeting with clients. I don’t want any mistakes.” Well, there was no need to instruct my perfectionist brother, it was just my dad’s method to ignore me. Seeing my dad’s no-lift mode, I nudged my elbow in Howard’s rib cage for our next move. He took a deep breath and spoke cautiously, “Our little princess has tackled multiple
Xavion’s P.O.V. “What do you think about the new logo for the promotional campaign, Sir. Do you like it?” This was the third meeting in a row with my agency and the logo designs weren’t catching my eye. It seemed like my team was out of the new ideas, recycling the old ones. Balling my fists, I couldn’t conceal my frustration and banged it on the table. “Why does this coffee taste bland? Do I have to teach you a simple task?” Diverting my anger towards my assistant aka Beta Alvaro, I conveyed my pent-up discontentment appropriately. “Alvaro, you just need to add a special ingredient in the coffee to make it taste delicious. How hard is it? Can’t you do such a simple task?” Mr. Dario, my manager, took my hint, the embarrassment on his flushed face satisfied me. He stuttered while grabbing his files from the table. “These designs are incomplete, Sir. We will have a final meeting with our staff and get back to you soon.” Mr. Doris requested me to spare one more morning for h
Azlynn’s P.O.V “That was a brave move, Ann.” As soon as the press conference ended, Daleyza dragged me to her office and exclaimed. “You are new in this city, but I know what kind of man Xavion Waller is. He will take it personally, Ann.” Listening to Daleyza’s horror speech, I couldn’t get the gist of the problem. She was narrating a story of where we weren’t included. “How can you say that Xavion Waller will take it personally? He doesn’t even know us.” Seriously! It was hard to understand why that football star would pay heed to a small company when he was riding the heights of ecstasy in his career. He was at the top, ruling over the entire South Kingdom like a King, people worshiped him blindly here. It wouldn’t be surprising if he just challenged the real King and sat on the throne one day. However, Daleyza wasn’t fazed by my logical reasoning. “Are you kidding me, Ann? He is the Xavion, an egoistic narcissist, who never forgives anyone. His staff
Azlynn’s P.O.V.The world around me blurred, making me oblivious of my surroundings, Xavion’s voice yanked me back to five years. That foolish Azlynn was shushed, as my tongue felt heavy in my mouth. His voice resounding in my ears after so long stirred something deep in my heart.On the other hand, that enraged star lashed out furiously.“I took pity on your small company, giving you a chance to become famous overnight. But you and your boss are ingrates. No one will ever sign with you.”During his verbal onslaught, Daleyza showed me business news on her iPad, the headline of the article published one hour ago boiled my blood.“CA cooperation, a group of unprofessional rude ladies!”What the actual fuck!I didn’t agree to sign Xavion, so he called his media touts to publish fake news about my company?How dare he?The tender emotions I felt a moment ago converted into a nuclear explosion, coursing poisonous venom through my veins. So, when he said,“Is that how you treat
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Although Bella had tried her level best to scare the shit out of me, Daleyza wasn’t convinced. She dismissed my point immediately.“How can Xavion remember your voice or anything about you, Ann? It’s been five years!”She justified her assumptions with solid reasoning.“Even if Xavion dated you, you must be one of his countless flings before mating like a typical Alpha. Not to mention, he was the most popular boy in the university, Ann.He must have forgotten all the frivolous women after meeting his Luna. You are aware of the importance of a soulmate, his Luna must be everything for him now.”As she started advocating for heavenly mate-bond, I got irritated, this hateful topic exhausted my patience.“You are right, Daleyza. I must be overthinking. An omega is worthless as compared to an Alpha lady of the Moon Stone Pack.”Using my tried and tested method of repeating this bitter reality, I kicked off all the possibilities of having any connection with Xavion a
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“Yes, I am Ann!”As I raised my head to face that successful football star, our eyes locked for a moment, prickling goosebumps over my skin. I only felt resentment for Xavion, who was at the top of his game after breaking my heart.The karma didn’t work for such people at all!He cheated on me and then easily avoided its consequences, it was true that bad people never got punished in this world. Pushing back the wave of hatred and animosity, I lowered my head to acknowledge his Alpha status, continuing my omega act.“Thanks for inviting us, Mr. Waller!”Luckily, Daleyza metalized out of thin air, sparing me from the misery of talking to my ex. She introduced our company at length. “Hello, Mr. Waller. We are honored to be a part of your Christmas party. Our company is a one-stop solution for all your requirements.”During her formal speech, I noticed the evanescence of a friendly smile from Xavion’s face. He appeared apathetic and nonchalant while listening t
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“How dare you use your Alpha command on me?”Hearing Xavion’s order, Bella was out of control, she clawed my defense walls tirelessly.“Let me free, Ann. I will show him who is the Alpha here.”A cold feeling sprinted from my feet to the tip of my head, making me shudder. I tried hard to cage my Alpha wolf. Usually, Bella was calm and supportive, happily becoming my partner in crimes. But Xavion’s betrayal had bruised her Alpha ego, fireworks were bound to happen after this encounter. Trembling in fear, I grabbed the cup slowly, delaying the whole process just in case Daleyza remembered me and came to my rescue.However, a melodious tone softly interrupted our conservation.“Let her be, Xavion. Don’t force her.”That intruder was none other than Valerie, whose face was darkened by her mate’s nescience. She glared at a mere omega with him.“Perhaps, Miss Ann is hiding her ugly face behind this mask. We should be compassionate towards our guests, praising them
Azlynn’s P.O.V. “Where?” My sudden squeal alerted my brother, he jumped up and sprinted towards the direction I pointed out. Clutching Hayley to my chest, I took out pepper spray from my purse, ready to face any danger. The scent of a mated wolf was the only clue about the intruder, as all the servers in the restaurant were unmated, revealing the identity of dangerous man. Luckily, it didn’t take long for my brother to finally come back with the culprit. “Here’s the spy!” Grabbing a squirming man’s collar, Howard growled, demanding an explanation. “You aren’t in the list of the restaurant’s staff. Who sent you? What are you doing here?” Howard’s royal tone reverberated in the surroundings, shaking that man like a dried leaf. He immediately bared his neck in submission. “I am here to deliver crackers from a retail store, Sir. Please spare my life.” The band of being mated, and this answer evaporated our worry in thin air, he was a mere delivery boy who panicked to se
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Covering his ears in a split second, Demrid moved away. He muttered under his breath.“No, it can’t happen so soon!You got this Demrid!”His handsome face took on a haunted look as if the dark clouds of horror had overshadowed his world. His voice sounded more serious than usual. “Why are you always in a hurry, Ann?”Breathing heavily, he started pacing back and forth. His forehead was creased with fury.“It’s been a few days, and I barely got a chance to express my feelings. Taking you to a romantic date was never in the picture. I am trying my level best to show my heart to you. But Ann, you are adamant about crushing every hope of our future together. Why?Why are you doing this to me?”His perturbed expressions shaken me to the core as he held my wrist and pulled me closer, racing my heart. The magnetic pull of his charming personality zipped my lips as he questioned desperately.“Tell me one thing, Ann. Can’t you feel the connection between our souls
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“Where?”Bella’s warning alerted me in a heartbeat, activating my mama bear mode. I swiftly picked up Hayley in my arms to protect her from this unexpected danger. Inhaling deeply, I caught the whiff of the freezing aura surrounding us. A sudden wave of putrid blood’s stench nauseated me to the core as my alarming gaze spotted three blood suckers in the last row of the servants. Yes! The Vampires!The worst enemies of the shifters and the rulers of the darkness!They weren’t allowed to live in the Werewolf territories after the great war one century ago. So, their presence in Demrid’s mansion knotted my stomach, so I questioned him sternly.“Demrid, what are they doing here?”I didn’t use the term ‘vampire’ on purpose as it wasn’t my intention to scare my little girl in her new home. Hayley was afraid of those bloodsuckers. However, Demrid didn’t give a damn to my cautiousness and spoke out loud.“Who, Ann?Are you talking about my vampire staff?”His stat
Azlynn’s P.O.V. Goddess! Was I dreaming? My unblinking gaze caught the sight of the majestic King in front of me, dressed in a black t-shirt and jeans. The fabric of the shirt was strained over his muscular figure, hugging his body perfectly. My mouth dried to witnessing the live representation of the Greek god in 2025. I admit that Demrid was handsome and had an impeccable taste in clothing. He usually wore modest clothes at home, too. He looked breathtaking in formal attire or casual outfits, but today was different. Demrid was deliberately wearing such a shirt to flex his burly Alpha body. Wetting my dry lips nervously, I tore my gaze away. Bella’s offended growl echoed in my head. “Let me see him more, Ann. He is a mouthwatering beauty.” As everyone had specific preferences, my wolf desired a man with a firm body. She was enjoying the sight of this perfection before us. However, Demrid’s cheerful tone while showing Hayley some shoes helped me to recover swiftly. I took
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Demrid’s live stream wasn’t a promotional event only, but a start of grand celebration in the South Kingdom. People went crazy to prepare the best welcome to the crown princess.Using the platform of my company, Demrid made an official announcement, saving time and money to throw a party for the cream of the South. However, his cheap method cost me a fortune!After this revelation, I became a social media sensation, breaking the records of the trends. Everyone was eager to know more about me. Not only mine, but Daleyza’s phone rang nonstop, she wasn’t prepared to deal with this unforeseen calamity. To avoid the nosy journalists, she came back home before time, the worry was etched on her face. “It’s total chaos outside, Ann. I haven’t seen such a massive crowd ever.”She showed me the news clips of how people had gathered in the streets and danced to express their joy, thanking the Goddess. The Head priest held a special prayer ceremony to seek blessings for my
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Bella’s straightforward refusal made me choke, putting a damper over my mood. I hadn’t expected such a reaction from my buddy as she said.“Demrid isn’t paired with us, Ann. And now, we have a mate, it’s our obligation to stay loyal to him. No, I won’t let you cheat on him.”The morning coffee tasted bitterer than usual as my wolf lectured me about the wonders of mate-bond, screwing my brain. I couldn’t help but groan in frustration.“But where is he, Bella? Howard is searching for him, and still, we haven’t found a single clue about that mysterious man. Then how am I supposed to stay true to an image of a mate?”When I first discovered my mate, the thrill of meeting him overwhelmed me. I behaved like a typical she-wolf and went to see Demrid alone. Now thinking about that, it felt like my idiocy to even think that the Moon Goddess would ever bless me. It was her routine to make me yearn for the smallest thing in my life. For years, I longed to live freely
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“You gotta be kidding me, Ann!”Following me to my apartment’s living room, Demrid was growling nonstop, he was hell pissed after our interaction with Xavion. He closed the door with a loud bang and spat out.“You and trusting Xavion’s hollow words? I thought you were better than this, Ann!”Clenching his fists, he glared at me, demanding an explanation as his anger was touching the roof. I took a deep breath and poured him a glass of Scotch, he needed to calm down before a civilized conversation. “Demrid, it’s not about cavern words. It’s about principles!”Demrid scowled and emptied the glass in one go. His voice raised an octave as he said.“Don’t talk about principles here, Ann. What you did was entirely wrong.”His severe disagreement with my decision gave me a headache. It was really difficult to make him understand my point when he firmly believed that I was wrong. “Look, Demrid. Lady Sabrina isn’t just Xavion’s mother. I personally know her well too.
Xavion’s P.O.V.“I can’t even think about doing such a heinous crime!”Pleading for a speck of mercy, I assured Azlynn, the tinge of doubt in her voice had shaken me to the core. I was busy with my personal matters, working on an impossible mission. And suddenly, she showed up and accused me of a non-existent crime as if I lived to cause a ruckus in her life. Azlynn parted her lips to say something in response, but her new puppy, Demrid, didn’t let her speak. He couldn’t shut his fucking mouth and hissed at me. “Swearing on another woman’s life to save your ass? How shameful, Xavion!I had never imagined that you would stoop so low …”He blabbered about how I was a cunning criminal to conceal my wrongdoings through emotional blackmailing, squinting his venomous little eyes.“Everyone knows you are an Alpha without a pack, living in Lake city since your education. No one has seen your siblings or parents to begin with. And if you have a family, what’s the guarantee that yo
Azlynn’s P.O.V.After my return to Lake city, my world was thrown into chaos and funnily enough, the reason was one person, Alpha Xavion Waller!That jerk always planned something to trouble me, creating hurdles all the time. I didn’t know why I was even surprised to hear about his involvement in the scheme?Mr. Dario, my business rival, and the owner of a reputable sports agency was Xavion’s manager, he was serving him since 2020. It wasn’t a stunner that Xavion paid the influencers through him to slut-shame me. But I must give credit that he changed his approach this time, using his touts to hire the ruffians. Unable to contain my anger any longer, I grabbed my bag and walked out of the apartment. It was a quiet time to free my wolf. I had overlooked Xavion’s pestering until now, answering his dirty tactics indirectly. But today, he went too far. I couldn’t forgive this defamation as a woman.Overflowing with rage, I was unlocking my car’s door when my cell phone rang again, m
Azlynn’s P.O.V.The crisp night wind gently caressed my face as Demrid’s query skipped my heartbeat, registering its honesty. I could sense that his words came straight out of his heart. His intense gaze directly touched my soul as he continued, “Ann, you understood my misery, healing the deep lacerations of my soul. I have no words to explain how and when I fell in love with you. But I just know it for the fact that I am incomplete without you. You are the only woman in my heart.”He expressed his heartfelt emotions, spellbinding me with his hypnotic eyes. I felt myself drawn towards him like a moth to the flame. In previous days, we had connected to a profound level, working like a team. His stay at my apartment vanished the haze of oddness from our relationship. More precisely, he became a part of my personal and professional life, staying with me 24/7. I was habitual to having him around all the time.But love? I hadn’t thought about it!I admit that there was a part of
