Azlynn’s P.O.V.Bloody hell!The goosebumps prickled over my skin as my wolf’s statement hit me like a tornado, making me consider this possibility. I hadn’t thought like that before.The secret identity of that Alpha did make me curious, but it never crossed my mind that he could be my soulmate, the one fated to annoy me for the rest of my life.I couldn’t help but share Bella’s bizarre guess with Daleyza. She sprang up in excitement.“Oh, my Goddess, Ann. This is quite right. A beauty on the verge of death and a brave hero protecting her from lechers. It’s a perfect scenario!According to the legends, only a special person from heaven can appear in your life like this.”Blah. Blah. Blah!Daleyza praised that mystery man, portraying me as a damsel in distress. The flashback of being powerless in jeopardy turned my mouth sour like I drank vinegar. I was a weak Alpha in the world where these two words were never used in a single sentence. And my weakness was publicly announce
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Demrid Davis?Why did this name sound so familiar?Although I hadn’t much information about the Royal family of the south, the King’s name made me feel that I knew him for a long time. So, I scrolled the email for the pictures of the King, ignoring Bella’s gleeful howls as she sighed dramatically.“Demrid Davis!Even his name has two Ds. Hopefully, his Alpha D will be big enough!”My slutty wolf started fantasizing about his genitals directly, burning my cheeks. I had no idea why was she getting so riled up for a stranger?The craze of her unfulfilled sexual fantasies aside, I was a bit disappointed to see the contact’s details and the address of King’s different properties. There was no picture of him!It would be better to glance at his picture to test the theory of mate-bond. However, Daleyza and Bella wrongly interrupted my innocent intentions and teased me all the way home. “Look, who is desperate to see her mate?”Daleyza laughed while driving, “I
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Whoa!I didn’t see such a warm welcome coming, hitting me out of nowhere. That proximity riveted me to the spot like a scared kitten. An over six feet tall mountain of muscles looming over me shut down my brain. Everything else skipped from my mind. I stared at him in a catatonic stupor, feeling trapped between his iron arms. I waited for his response after this unforeseen scrutiny.King Demrid firmly grabbed my shoulders, squeezing me as if I was a lemon. His low, throaty growls leapt my heart to my throat as Bella spoke in frustration.“He is wearing a strong cologne to conceal his natural scent, Ann. I can’t smell him!”It was a tradition in the royals to wear a scent blocker frequently for their security purpose. So, King Demrid’s caution failed my first attempt to recognize any special connection with him. But I didn’t lose heart and moved on to Plan B as soon as the shock faded.Two mates could feel the bond with a simple touch, so I raised my hand to b
Azlynn’s P.O.V.OMG!I knew that I could be surprised easily, but Holy crap! This was the actual situation a word ‘OMG’ came from. Within hours of hearing about King Demrid, his connection with my daughter turned things completely around. I hadn’t imagined that I would ever come across Hayley’s father in this way.For me, she was all alone in this world and met me to become a part of my family. Like, two lonely souls had found each other accidentally and bounded for life. So, when Hayley responded to Demrid, equally interested in sniffing, my heart dropped to my stomach.Her innocent eyes lit up with an inexplicable glee in a split second.“You smell like …You are my daddy?” Hayley’s eyes bulged out of their sockets as she covered her mouth with her tiny hand, her voice barely above a whisper.“It’s weird, but there’s a voice in my head saying that you’re my daddy.Am I?”She raised her eyes and glanced at Demrid, seeking confirmation. “Does your wolf say that I am you
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Oh, my Goddess! The legend Demrid Davis?Famous quarterback in the NFL?No wonder he felt so familiar at first glance!As my bestie reminded me of the lost glory of Lake City, I jumped at finding a perfect excuse to see my precious honey. The clouds of pain darkening my world instantly vanished as this brilliant idea came to mind.King Demrid had deliberately disregarded my role in Hayley’s life, claiming his pup like a common dick Alpha. His possessiveness wasn’t my problem. My wounded heart just wanted to meet my girl daily. And the business lady raging inside me had a perfect solution for this issue. My brain did surprise me with its timely services, but I guess any woman at my place would look for an immediate way out of such a situation. Hayley was my life, my little baby girl. There was no limit of my love for her. If Demrid was a Royal Alpha, I wasn’t less than him. I would trap him so beautifully that he would agree with a co-parenting plan. Smirking d
Azlynn’s P.O.V. “What about my precious honey?” As he mentioned my little girl, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut and snatched Howard’s phone, demanding an explanation. “Is she alright? What’s the matter?” Unlike the cold voice from the day, King Demrid was panicked beyond words. He spoke shakily. “Hayley is crying nonstop. She hasn’t eaten dinner. And …” He was speaking something about his efforts, but a doleful cry in the background pierced my soul with countless arrows. “Let me go. I want my mommy!” “Hayley?” I gasped, cutting Demrid off sharply. “Give the phone to my daughter. Now!” Thankfully, he didn’t protest and passed the phone to Hayley. I pacified her while grabbing my bag. “Please don’t cry, my precious honey. Mommy is coming!” … Only the Moon Goddess knew how I stayed calm during the long journey to the King’s farmhouse, every passing second was escalating my worry. My precious honey was crying, and I wasn’t with her, this inability to
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Shoot!Staring down at me with his cold eyes, King Demrid standing beside Xavion sucked all the air from my lungs. The golden rings around his hazel orbs hinted at his wolf’s power over his mind. After kicking him in his nuts, I ran away, leaving that matter for Howard. My brother could fight with a Godzilla for me. But now, he was nowhere to be found, and a hell pissed King was at my door. I was stuck in a very dangerous situation.Utterly panicked, I slid my hand to my pocket for the phone, but Demrid sensed my next move. He spoke coldly.“Prince Howard got an important call from work. He left for the office.”Damn it!My heart raced at a fucking thousand beats per second as I gulped hard, trying to appear nonchalant.“I don’t need Prince Howard to attend to my guests. You …”“Demrid Davis?How are you doing, buddy?”Xavion cut me off mid-sentence, expressing his shock. “It’s been long. I thought you forgot to step out in public.”He handed me that bou
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“You decided what?”For a brief moment, I kept staring at Demrid’s face, watching for his toothy smile with ‘Gotcha. It was a joke’. No man in his right mind could ever suggest anything like that. However, it remained a wish as he stared back at me, waiting for my response seriously. I struggled hard to wrap my head around this shocker and replied to him. “Look, I am a single lady, living with Hayley and my friend here. How can you adjust to this modest apartment with us, Demrid? You are a King. It will be difficult for you.”Feeling desperate, I listed all the reasons that came to my mind, trying to scare him away. But Demrid wasn’t shaken at all. He remained as cool as a cucumber.“I don’t mind if your flat is small or uncomfortable. It’s spacious enough to squeeze in two more people.The only thing matters how Hayley feels about you, Ann. So, I am willing to do anything for her.”He pointed at his luggage and spoke casually.“Beta Rupert will bring his
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
