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
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Uncle Earl’s over cautiousness was the proof of his services for the royal family, it was compulsory to have facts and figures from more than one sources to match the standards of the royal court. He stayed here on Howard’s request and installed spy cameras, I was indeed grateful for this favor. My hopes were high while clicking the links in the email. The cameras were planted at such angles that I could see the screen of the laptop, providing me with information regarding the work done during official hours. I keenly observed Mr. Hudson’s movements once again.Everything was fine until I found him returning to the office yesterday after working hours, raising my suspicion. I was aghast to see the duplicate keys in his hands. “Holy crap!How is this even possible?”When we bought this place, Howard made sure to change all the locks and gave me the only pair of keys, no one had access to them except me and Daleyza. My eyes widened in shock as I saw Mr. Hudson
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“Mr. Waller has transferred five million dollars to Mr. Hudson’s account.But why?”Daleyza gasped, commenting on the transaction proof in shock, she voiced the query in my mind. For a while, my brain couldn’t formulate any thought other than Alpha’s connection with my office’s employee, let alone wondering about this amount. Initially, I had doubts about the spy status and all that, but I didn’t imagine in my wildest nightmares that Xavion would be behind this. Like, why would he send this money to a person he didn’t even know?Daleyza agreed to my point, racing her brain to solve this mystery ASAP. “Ann, I have checked Mr. Hudson’s previous work record, he had never worked for Mr. Waller.Above all, why would a celebrity like Alpha Xavion have a relationship with an ordinary finance manager, paying him five million dollars for any reason. Trust me, Ann. There’s something fishy!”Well, I could only read this report due to my sudden brain freeze, so Daleyza
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“What?”I blinked slowly, and took in the sight of my new work space, processing the purpose of this setting. It was unbelievable that I had to spend my entire day of work with Xavion. In most of the offices, secretaries had their separate cabins as the bosses didn’t like any interference in their personal space. But here, it seemed that my own privacy was at risk. How would I work on my revenge plan when he would supervise me 24/7?This first hurdle in my plan trembled my heart, I felt defeated without even starting. Bella comforted me immediately.“Que sera, sera (What will be, will be), Ann. We will definitely figure out something.”Calming my racing heart, I composed myself as Xavion’s amused remarks forced me to get my shit together.“Oh, didn’t you like the material of the chair or the height of the table, Ann? I can replace them for you. Speak your mind freely here!”Yeah, of course! You could do anything, Jerk!Putting a formal smile on my face, I
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“You gotta be kidding me!”Blinking my eyes rapidly, I gave it my all to read the investment file, confirming the name of the company. I hadn’t even imagined in my wildest dreams to ever hear about this connection.HK group of industries’ keen interest in investing millions of dollars in the AS sports agency exploded a nuclear bomb in my world. My brain literally gave up, unable to process the shock of this odd occurrence. Why did Howard contact Xavion for collaboration? Was he out of his mind?And most importantly, why didn’t he tell me before about this suicide mission?As my brother had gone nuts, I couldn’t help but close the file in horror. Perhaps, it was the time to call him and come clean. However, the first wave of the logical reason was dissipated by a low growl near me, making me jump. I shot up as a menacing voice resounded in my ear.“See, Ann. I have such a generous investor for this season.”Raising my head, I saw Xavion, fuming in anger like
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Howard and marking me?Goddess!Eww!No!At that very moment, I seriously wished to forget about my dilemmas and screamed out loud that he was my brother, not a lover, just to shut Xavion’s fucking mouth. He had lost it completely. I only mentioned his mated wolf’s status to remind him about the duties of a mate, and he took it to the next level, joining my name with Howard.“Now, I get it. That’s why you won’t come back to me. That motherfucker has decided to take you as his consort for bearing his child.”He didn’t take his allegations enough and charged on me, the black fur on his elongated claws scared the hell out of me as he continued infuriatingly.“Prince Howard must be bribing me with his investment offer to clear his way, taking me as an ordinary Alpha. What does he think of me? That I am greedy for his Royal money? He could go fuck himself. And you, Ann!”After cursing Howard, Xavion’s next target was me, his claws inched closer to my neck as
Azlynn’s P.O.V. Xavion showed me his true colors within a day, harming me directly, his shamelessness forced me to take a quick action. I had planned a long method to destroy his business step by step, but his assault accelerated this process. I was all set to make my first move. After discussing my idea with Daleyza and Uncle Earl, I got to work, setting my plan in motion. Working overnight for a long day didn’t feel tiring at all. Like a wounded lioness, I was craving blood, wishing to bury that Alpha six feet under. It would be only fair if I bent him on his knees for forgiveness. Bella also stayed awake with me, sharpening her claws, she wasn’t in the favor of stealth attack. “Don’t forget that you are an Alpha, Ann. Let’s retaliate with fists. This human-like method won’t hurt him.” Chuckling at my feral side’s vexation, I stretched my arms and read the proposal glimmering at my laptop’s screen, this was indeed my best shot on such a short notice. “It will work, Bella.
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“I did it!”Manipulating the stock market wasn’t an easy task, given that several factors were involved in the reputation of a company’s name. I had meticulously planned everything to pull off this trick. AS sports wasn’t a small company to begin with, destroying its reputation to lower the stock prices had affected the market value, losing investors’ trust in the business. They were hesitant to continue the collaboration due to non-existent opportunities. I barely kept a straight face while responding to the emails of the sponsors, the content of the messages was a treat to read. Cherry on top, Xavion’s disappearance had improved my mood more. The tranquility of the room was helping me to focus on work.He didn’t come to the office after the stock market’s issue, giving me the best opportunity to accelerate the process of his destruction. In addition to inviting all the investors for an urgent meeting, I closely monitored the stock’s trends to keep an eye on Xa
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
Xavion’s P.O.V.Zion purred happily as Azlynn didn’t put up a fight and let us kiss her, even it was a harmless peck on her forehead. Then she raised her head, staring dead into my eyes.“I am feeling tired. Good night!”This was her indirect method of saying fuck off to end the argument, disagreeing with my perspective. Azlynn wasn’t a quarrelsome person to begin with. She had always avoided confrontation, looking for a middle ground for peace.It wasn’t in her nature to be loud with her demands, but her signature trait was being as stubborn as a mule. When we were dating, I often wondered how an omega could be so rigid. But now, her royal status had justified her ability to be persistent. I was well aware that she would never sit still until getting what she wanted. Though the fight was over for tonight, it was just a beginning in reality. Azlynn would retaliate with better weapons tomorrow for sure!Although she left with Beta Alvaro, I stood there frozen, pondering over the
