Azlynn’s P.O.V.“Mate!”Overjoyed by Xavion’s resolve, my treacherous wolf howled gleefully, she was over the moon to get closer to him. Unlike me, Bella was dying for mating. Her life’s goal was to please her Alpha mate.Unfortunately, my body had a mind of its own, and right now, it was thrilled just like Bella. Xavion’s audacious statement weirdly turned me on instead of enraging me. My body grew hotter with desire, betraying me at the spot. Xavion’s fierce tongue wreaked havoc on my senses as Bella howled,“I am all yours, mate!”It was impossible to think straight with my muddled brain as Xavion’s hot touches made me clench my thighs, pooling wetness between my legs. I bit my tongue to halt a moan and cursed inwardly.“Fuck! You are a slut, Ann!”I didn’t know that an ordinary bite mark on my neck would become my g-spot to test my restraint. It took me a hell lot of courage to gather every speck of my strength and control my primal urges, waking up from my wet dream. I sho
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
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
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.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.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.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.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.VI swallowed hard as the weight of it all settled in my chest, realizing the seriousness of the situation. Behind this innovative method of presentation, Xavion wasn’t just asking me to mark him, but to make a statement. He wanted me to declare that our bond was forever, unshakable in the face of difficulties.The feeling of something electric buzzing under my skin pulled me towards him, making me lose my control. Xavion’s gaze softened, as though he could already sense the shift in my heart. He straightened up and clicked the button on the remote.“That’s the final slide, my Queen!”Slide 4: The intimacyA picture of two wolves curled under the moonlight appeared on the screen. The mating marks illuminating over their furs were a symbol of commitment according to Xavion as he spoke.“This photo speaks for itself, Azlynn. Marking is more than a bite; it’s an unbreakable promise between two hearts. A vow that no matter what, we will always find each other, even in t
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“How is that cross mark connected to my marking decision?”Alicia’s warning flabbergasted me. It didn’t make any sense that my personal affairs could affect other people too. Xavion was my partner in mate-bond, so if she had said that his life was in danger, I would have believed it. But this was too much.Unlike my perplexed state, Alicia was quite confident. She didn’t hesitate to elaborate on this topic further.“See, little princess. Your mate is the King of a nation. His every aspect of life is directly connected to his kingdom’s welfare. He marked the prophecy girl, taking risk against the decision of fate. But he couldn’t get the protection of the mate-bond because you didn’t mark him.And now it’s almost six weeks after your marking, the downsides of such mating are coming to surface.”She gave me the reference of the history book (I hadn’t read it yet) and continued,“Last time when these marks appeared, the danger of the devil led to havoc in the world
Azlynn’s P.O.V. Although my query was directed towards the lack of seriousness, it erupted chaos in the room. The first one to react was Alicia, she rushed to my side. “A red cross? What are you talking about, Your Highness?” Baffled by her response, I gawked at Xavion and Alvaro, who appeared equally surprised. “Where did you see the cross, Azlynn? Was it in the mystical boundary?” Instead of investigating the attackers, they showered me with queries, as if I had committed a crime by bringing up this issue. I spoke in annoyance. “Why are you all acting so surprised? Didn’t you notice the glowing red cross on wolves’ foreheads?” It was hard to miss such an obvious detail during a long fight. But Xavion spoke immediately. “Their foreheads were plain, Azlynn. There was no red mark on them. I would have seen it if it were there.” The worry etched on their faces narrated a different tale, like they were concealing some horrifying details from me. I ignored those buddies and asked
Azlynn’s P.O.V. The scene in front of me changed so quickly that it felt like I was hallucinating. Xavion’s black wolf was attacked from all the sides, punishing him for protecting me from their deadly claws. He faced them bravely and sank his sharp teeth deep into one attacker’s neck, ending his life in a single jerk. That ruffian howled in pain and collapsed, sending a jolt of electricity on the battlefield. Another wolf growled, “You are the north king, yet your citizens aren’t safe from your bloodlust. It’s a solid proof that you aren’t fit to sit on the throne, Alpha Xavion.” They challenged Xavion’s rule over the north kingdom, coming from every side. Feeling terrified, I tried to raise or shift back to my human form to assist Xavion in the fight. At least I could push wolves away when he was focusing on one. But to my dismay, the mystical barrier was thick around us, choking off my strength. All I could do was to watch them fighting and howling continuously. Xavion was cal
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Well, I didn’t see that coming!The mating traditions were sacred among the werewolves. A man had to prove that he could provide and protect his mate, while a woman had the job of making a warm home and bear pups, balancing the harmony of nature. But I hadn’t imagined that Xavion would believe in such things. Not only did he hunt a deer, but now he was expecting me to accept his offer and eat his prey. I was stunned speechless, facing this unpredicted challenge. Even Bella was at a loss for words.“Ann, what to do now?”Although she was smitten by Xavion’s charm, praising his hunting skills, she couldn’t bear to touch the dead deer as well. Bella hadn’t seen a dying animal in front of her eyes, let alone eating the uncooked meat drenched in blood, fur, and dirt. But Zion was purring softly, melting her heart with his pitiful begging. So, Bella tried to touch that motionless deer, closing her eyes. The blood staining her white fur nauseated her to the core as sh
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“This is unacceptable, Azlynn. I thought you were a sweet girl ...”It was lady Sabrina who barged inside, screaming at me. Her speech was halted by the scene in the room as she averted her face quickly.“My apologies. I didn’t mean to disturb you.”Judging from her fury, I was about to get a good scolding, but her facial expressions changed completely after a quick glance around. She swiftly approached me, gasping in disbelief.“What’s wrong with the younger generation? Is it a bedroom or a battleground?”Sabrina didn’t let me explain a thing and barked orders like the Queen she was, bossing me around as well. She asked the maids to clean up the mess and prepare a bath for me.“Azlynn, take a warm bath and call me when you are done. I will apply the ointment on your wounds. It doesn’t look good.”Bella was exhausted after the long night, so she fell asleep a few minutes ago. After vigorous physical activity and mystical pressure of the mate-bond, my wolf could
Xavion’s P.O.V. “Here’s a hearty breakfast for our newlywed groom.” As I didn’t go to the dining hall, Beta Alvaro came with a tray of food in my office. I had already set my things in my new home. Smiling widely, Alvaro’s voice was full of mischief as he said. “Commonly, people only get one chance to experience a first chance mate. And you have done it twice. Don’t be shy and share your feelings with forever singles. Perhaps the Moon Goddess will take pity on us too.” Speaking nonstop, he set the table and sniffed the air continuously. I ignored his cheerful banter and sipped my morning whiskey, looking out of the window. The lifeless snow covers outside deeply resonated with the emptiness of my heart. My no-lift mood soon garnered Alvaro’s attention, he dragged a chair and sat in front of me. “What’s the matter, Xavion? You seem disturbed.” After last night’s bizarre events, any sensible man would be hell worried. It was impossible for me to wrap my head around the reality of
Azlynn’s P.O.V.By the time we laid tangled in the sheets, I felt it in my bones. The strength of our mate-bond registered its presence with every sensation I hadn’t experienced before. It must be the magic of heat that despite being exhausted, I was down to the fourth round when Xavion buried his face in the crook of my neck, breathing heavily.“That was mind-blowing, Azlynn.”His hold on my shoulders tightened as his body shook, giving me an idea that he needed a moment to catch his breath. But the sharp pain born in my lower region as he shifted, adjusting my legs around him.“It might hurt, Azlynn. I hope you will bear with me.”The golden spark in his honey brown eyes hinted at his wolf’s passion. His inhumane voice sounded apologetic yet excited. “If you are looking for the perfect moment to mark me, now it’s the time, mate. You can get back at me by biting hard.”Fuck!I squirmed uncontrollably as his member swelled inside me, causing great discomfort. It truly felt like an ep
Azlynn’s P.O.V.Xavion’s soulful voice made my heart sing, erupting butterflies in my stomach. I hadn’t imagined in my wildest dreams that he would ever prepare anything like that. However, it wasn’t over yet!Alpha guided me to the balcony, opening the glass door. The scene of the glimmering lights stole my breath away. Roses twined along the railing and the petals scattered over the floor were like a trail of love and longing. The delicate fairy lights shimmered above us, casting golden halos over a dinner table set for two. The scent of roasted garlic and something sweet lingered in the chilly breeze of freezing north. Xavion pulled out my chair, just like the same quiet gentleman who had once stolen my heart. I noticed his excellent manners and courtesy in the live stream after the match. Xavion was caring, calm, and composed despite being a college student. His gentle nature like my dad caught my eye among the crowd of handsome boys. It wasn’t that he was the only good-
