Azlynn’s P.O.V.“OMG! Really?”The opportunity to work with my university’s team soared my heart high in the sky. I didn’t waste a second and fixed a meeting during lunch break. With only a few days left in the tournament, my company was in dire need of new contracts. I was thrilled to score big in one shot.Hayley’s school was starting tomorrow, so I had decided to meet her teachers today. But this work emergency delayed that visit. I left that introduction for later and reached the campus fifteen minutes before the agreed time.The football coach, Mr. Mario welcomed me at the gate, he hadn’t changed a bit after fiver years.“Long time no see, Azlynn.”His signature smile refreshed my golden memories, flooding my head with the scenes of my freedom. I inhaled the familiar scent of the ground and smiled warmly.“It’s indeed long, Mr. Mario. I hope you are doing well.”After exchanging pleasantries, he guided me to his office. The team players were gathered after lunch there.“
Azlynn’s P.O.V. “All eleven boys are injured? How the hell is this possible?” A startled squeal came out of my mouth as I read that full article for details, the shocking news of a horrible accident crumbled my world around me. According to the reporters, the players were going to the gym together for exercise when a truck collided with their van, crushing it. The rescue team had to cut the metal in order to save their lives. My head spun as the bleakness of losing my business fucked my brain, I stuttered while ordering Daleyza. “T-Take care of Hayley. I-I will go to the hospital now.” However, my bestie surprised me with her efficiency, she reported to me. “There is no need to go anywhere, Ann. I have confirmed everything. Despite being wolves, there is no chance that players will recover before the tournament. We are doomed!” She mentioned the rules of new players’ selection that they had to register before the deadline to participate. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be
Xavion’s P.O.V. “See, the record isn’t in her laptop. Ann has stolen fifty thousand dollars from the company!” Watching the live stream of CA corporation’s recent drama, I was pleased with the performance of Mr. Hudson, my mole planted in that company. He followed my instructions and framed Azlynn in a money scandal. She was about to lose her job. Daleyza, her boss, sent me the letter to refuse collaboration with me, her daring to ignore my Alpha authority challenged my hold over the Lake city. I was all set to destroy her sports agency, removing Azlynn from it was my last task. Sipping my whiskey, I enjoyed the exchange of useless reasons and excuses, desperately waiting for the happy ending when Zion noticed Azlynn’s teary eyes. She sniffled, “Please trust me. I have never stolen anything.” “You are an asshole!” Zion growled, baring his claws in fury. “I asked you to win her back, not hurt her. Azlynn is crying because of you.” Well, it was a small price to pay for the
Xavion’s P.O.V.Grabbing Valerie’s neck, I slammed her to the wall, her horrified shriek echoed in the room.“What are you doing, Xavion? Leave me ...” But I couldn’t hear anything after her shameless confession, elongating my claws.“You hired rouges to harm Azlynn despite the fact she is a fragile omega. How can you even think about it?”Valerie was a greedy woman, I knew it, but it never crossed my mind that she had criminal tendencies. Her audacity to hurt Azlynn trembled my hands with repressed fury. I punched the wall right beside her face and growled.“You may have forgotten, but I am still your Alpha. I won’t let it slip, Valerie. You will be punished for your crimes.”With that, I increased the pressure on her neck as ending her useless existence seemed like the most appropriate solution. I would be free of this damned mate-bond as a bonus. Azlynn’s pain, her fear, and her condition in that rundown building flashed across my mind, intensifying my rage. Her suffering w
Azlynn’s P.O.V.I had never believed in magic in my life, so when the record files mysteriously disappeared from my laptop, I didn’t take it as a glitch.With the eyes of the entire staff fixed on me, there was no place to hide. In order to buy some time, I decided to play along. Acting like a pitiful employee, I promised to pay back fifty thousand dollars to avoid the police complaint and accept the dismissal letter.Daleyza called me when I was alone in my cabin. “Oh, my Goddess, Ann. I can’t believe what just happened!”Gasping in disbelief, she explained the situation to clear her name. “Trust me, Ann. I didn’t know that Mr. Hudson would create trouble. I hired the staff with their promising background. No one is a newbie here.”She told me about the sudden disappearance of files from her computer as well, making me suspicious.“When Mr. Hudson came to complain about you, I swiftly checked my laptop to end that matter right away. But unfortunately, I couldn’t find th
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.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
