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,

    Azlynn’s P.O.V.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 s

    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! Valeire came to our class seven days ago and Xavion must have recognized her as his mate at the first glance, accepting her as his Luna. He hid the news of his fated mate, 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, c

    Azlynn’s P.O.V. *Five years later* Moving on after Xavion’s betrayal wasn’t easy for me, but I accepted my fate and returned to my old life. I had already angered my family with this adventure. Even after five years, my dad hadn’t forgiven me for blindly following my first love. My brother Howard was my only supporter. He helped me recover from depression, bringing me back to life. I had completed my education just because of him. After acquiring my degree in business and administration, it was the right time for me to start my own business. Working under Howard wasn’t a permanent solution for me. I wanted to pursue my career in sports, opening an agency for players. The current craze of ice hockey and football in youth was a great opportunity for business. My proposal was prepared and like every time, I just needed my dad’s approval. Howard presented my case before him when he was working in the study at night. “Dad, please take a look at our little princess’s proposal. She has

    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.” 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. From what I had seen online, Xavion 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.

    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. The scenes of my heartbreak flashed across my mind, zipping my lips. His voice resounding in my ears after so long stirred something deep in my heart, making me shudder. Seething in anger, 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 broke my trance. “CA cooperation, a group of unprofessional rude ladies!” What? 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

    Azlynn’s P.O.V. What? Again? Xavion’s meaningful tone sent shivers down my spine, puzzling me. I couldn’t ask for clarification as he disconnected the call right after mentioning my favorite alcohol. What was he trying to implore? Did he? Utterly panicked, I consulted my new buddy, seeking second opinion. Perhaps I was overthinking that Xavion had recognized my voice. However, Daleyza wasn’t convinced at all. She dismissed my point immediately. “How can Xavion remember 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

    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.

    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

  • Football Star: The Jerk Alpha's Redemption    A night out

    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-

    Azlynn’s P.O.V. As the night spread its massive wings, prevailing darkness in the surroundings, I started feeling nervous, second guessing my decision. My heart stumbled over its rhythm while thinking about the real deal. No matter how much I comforted myself, the dread related to my first experience was still there. I did know what to do or expect from tonight. Although I hadn’t done the deed, watching adult movies gave me a rough idea of the actual intimacy. I wondered whether I should scream or act like the girls in those videos, who seemed to enjoy that company a lot. Rubbing my sweaty palms on my dress, I sat on my bed, waiting for Xavion. He would be here any minute as I had sent a maid to inform him that it was a D-Day (not the doomsday though). As expected, Xavion dealt with all the official matters swiftly and arrived in an hour. He was pleasantly surprised to see me all dolled up. “Is this for me, Azlynn?” He moved forward, staring at my painted face wide-eyed.
