Azlynn’s P.O.V.
“Deck the halls with boughs of Holly Fa-la-la, la-la-la …” The crisp air gently caressed my face, flashing all the dreamy moments which were going to turn into reality soon. I was on my way to claim all the happiness of my life. Ninety minutes before 25th December, the air was filled with Christmas symphonies as I reached the party hall, soaring high in the sky. My heart was thumping in excitement to see my football star boyfriend, Alpha Xavion. This year’s Christmas was special, putting an end to my long wait. I was thrilled to celebrate my eighteenth birthday on this auspicious day. As Werewolves, it was the time when we could smell our mate, and I just couldn’t wait to find whether my football star was my mate or not. Walking inside the beautifully decorated hall, my desperate eyes looked for him in the crowd of dancing couples. Xavion had arranged an extravagant, football-themed birthday party for me. A wave of musky scent hit my senses, and I heard Xavion’s deep voice, drenched in sweetness. “Oh, you are such a tease, Valerie.” The flirtatious laughter in response was a bombshell of realization, my mind went blank for a moment. Pushing through the crowd, I found my Alpha boyfriend with breathtaking beauty, their bodies intertwined passionately crumbled my world around me. “Valerie?” It took me a moment to recognize the girl in the short red dress, the new transfer student in our class, she was the heir to a famous Alpha bloodline. Her plump lips all over my boyfriend’s mouth nauseated me to the core. My heart was heavy in my chest, but also a wave of fury and resentment coursed through me. After two years of selfless support, that was how Xavion repaid me? Tears burned my eyes, urging me to leave, but a soft sob escaped my lips. “Xavion!” Suddenly, the loud music stopped, followed by the pin drop silence of the party. My call was successful in garnering Xavion’s attention. That extraordinary imposing Alpha walked over, cleaning the corner of his lips. I confronted him while pushing back my tears. “Valerie and you? How can you …” “Luna Valerie!” Xavion’s cold voice warned me, “Watch your tongue, omega!” My hand flew to my mouth to stifle an involuntary scream, the slap of being an omega slapped me hard across my face. I had heard this word for continuously two years just for his sake, and tonight, he also insulted me like this. I gulped a lump in my throat with great difficulty and spoke, “You promised to marry me, Xavion. We are in love, then …” Tears tightened my throat, cutting me off mid-sentence, I couldn’t speak up for myself. Xavion’s 1.93 m tall frame towered over me like a mountain of robust muscles, his devilishly handsome face scrunched up in disgust. “Marry you?” The corner of his lips curled up in a mean smirk, and the next moment, his honey brown eyes were ablaze with rage. “Even after so much, you still have the guts to point your finger at me? You are such a flagrant woman, omega!” “Easy, babes!” With her waist-length hair cascading like flowing water, gorgeous Valerie placed her delicate hand on Xavion’s shoulder. Her pure eyes emitted an innocent and captivating charm as she calmed him. “Please show her the reports! Strong evidence is required to confront a promiscuous girl like her.” My mind lost its proper functioning, frozen by the shock of these startling events, I couldn’t hear beyond that slut shaming. I had only kissed my boyfriend in my entire life, let alone having physical relations. Then how could she slander me for a non-existent crime? Xavion took out an envelope from his jacket pocket and threw it over my face. “This piece of paper has revealed your true colors behind the façade of a pure girl, omega. You hid your affair so well that even I was fooled by your classic acting.” My heart raced like a galloping horse in my chest as I opened the envelope with trembling hands. It was difficult to read because of my teary vision, but the heading of the report shook the ground below me. “Patient’s name: Azlynn Eastwood. Pregnancy test: Positive.” The name and date on the paper blew my head away, I was shaken by the absurdity of the report. Breathing in sharply, I screamed like a mad woman. “This is fake!” And stepped forward in a hurry, “I can’t be pregnant, Xavion. This is impossible! You know the truth.” Xavion and I had promised to be loyal to each other, waiting for the best moment for sex: Our wedding night. Then … Xavion’s unsmiling voice slithered into my ears as he thundered in fury. “That’s what I thought, but you have cheated on me, omega. I would have never found out if Valerie didn’t take off the blindfold of love from my eyes.” Then he flashed his cell phone’s screen in front of my eyes. “Valerie’s cousin is a laboratory attendant who confirmed the reports. There’s no need to play innocent now.” Because of an outbreak last week, our university collected the blood samples of all the students for general blood work. My results were also negative like the rest of the class, then why did Valerie order a pregnancy test for me? The connection between these two occurrences rendered me speechless, making me gawk at the exemplary Alpha couple standing right in front of my eyes. Calming my racing heart, I tried to sound normal, but my shaky voice deserted me. “I am not pregnant, Xavion. And why is Valerie poking her nose in our personal matters? You wanna a test, come with me to the hospital. We can do the test again. But wait!” My insides twisted to remember the scene of his intimate kiss with Valerie just now, I asked him sternly, “Tell me one thing before, why were you kissing her so passionately? Isn’t it cheating?” My burning query received a thunderous growl in response, a look of great bitterness swept across Xavion’s face. He charged at me. “How dare you, omega?” I stumbled backwards as his hurtful words pierced through my heart. The contempt, accusation, and fake evidence wasn’t enough for Xavion, he held my chin tightly and spat out, darkening my world. “Address Valerie with respect, omega. She is my fated mate!”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.
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.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
