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.Not again!Xavion didn’t miss this golden chance to poke his nose in our lives and invited me through Hayley, ruining my mood. He had planned a picnic to enjoy his one-day break between his matches. I was familiar with his tricks, so this wasn’t a new thing for me. However, Demrid was pretty stumped at this revelation, he questioned.“Who is this savior uncle, my princess?”Hayley’s tiny hand flew to her mouth as she exhaled in surprise. “You don’t know about my savior uncle, daddy?” She sat beside him and narrated the story of our abduction, painting Xavion as Captain America. “We were trapped in a rundown building and Uncle Xavion came there all of a sudden. He punched all the bad guys, daddy.His black wolf is majestic!”The horizontal lines of worry deepened on Demrid’s forehead as he finally caught the gist of the issue. Hayley’s story rang a bell.“You were kidnapped on Christmas Eve, my princess? Holy crap!”Demrid was the one who gave Xavion a f
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
