Azlynn’s P.O.V.“A presser? Why not?We will love to answer your questions.”The distant voice of a man forced me out of the dark abyss of nothingness, jogging my memory. My head felt heavy as I tried to look for a reason for my condition, but my mind went blank. I could only rely on the thrilled conversation around me.“It happened so suddenly that we couldn’t inform anyone. Rest assured; we will throw a grand party for you!”Although my eyes were glued shut, that familiar deep voice churned my stomach as the identity of its owner jolted me awake. I didn’t see that coming from him.Lying on a soft and comfortable bed, I found myself in a luxury room with wall-size windows. The crisp sunlight peeking through the curtain had illuminated the surroundings. Darting my eyes from one corner to another, I spotted a tall man with a towel wrapped around his lower region. He was standing beside the window while talking to someone on the phone.Staring blankly at that perfectly chiseled back, I
Azlynn’s P.O.V.A rapid surge of electricity ran through my body as Bella started growling nonstop. She turned her head to sniff the surrounding air.“Ann, something’s not right. Get up!”My impatient wolf didn’t let me process the shock and took over my senses. I hardly maintained my balance and threw the covers away, rushing towards the bathroom.“Azlynn. Are you ...” Although Xavion called me from behind, I didn’t bother about being semi-naked before him and took refuge in the restroom. I was winded after covering that distance in a record speed, but Bella had other plans. My body moved on its own accord as I removed the towel, inspecting my skin carefully. Bella forced me to check every inch of the body for the proof.“I admit that the alcohol was too strong, but r@pe is a big thing, Ann. Xavion will never do this!”Bella’s trust for that shameless jerk boiled my blood, I fought with her. “He has accepted everything, Bella. There’s no need to defend his wrongdoings. Our
Xavion’s P.O.V. “Mission accomplished!” After a high tide of unfortunate defeats, I received this much-needed notification at the right moment. The shame of being caught so easily almost killed me. I devised a perfect plan, trapped Azlynn, and she bought my act, too. But all of a sudden, she got a brilliant idea of examining her body and revealed the truth. I was only one step away from making her mine for eternity. But alas! My dreams remained unfulfilled! My pathetic murder squad was only sending me failure reports, praising King Vindel’s extraordinary security plans around his palace. That overcautious King seldom stepped out of his safe place. So, I thought of an alternative plan to reclaim Azlynn’s love. A marriage certificate would be enough to buy some time for me. However, I didn’t need it any longer. Beta Alvaro met me outside the hotel and informed me. “You must have received the message from our spy team, Xavion. Here’s the proof of that report. See,
Xavion’s P.O.V.Fuck!The euphoria of freedom evaporated into thin air as Zion mentioned the bizarre occurrence, hitting me out of nowhere. I had foolishly overlooked this fact while celebrating. Speaking of facts, Valerie was indeed my first chance mate, and she was in immense pain, squirming on the floor like a fish without water. The medical staff arrived at the spot to provide her painkiller injections. Her reaction was natural, so I double-checked my situation, but couldn’t find a speck of pain, feeling exceptionally well.It was like I had breathed in peace after so long!As any unusual incident in my homeland could lead to a national emergency, I decided to keep a low profile. My dad had a habit of blaming the white-haired girl for every bad thing in our lives.“There’s a pandemic in our kingdom? It’s all because of that prophecy girl. Radley hasn’t found his mate? The prophecy girl has darkened his fate.We don’t have enough food for citizens? The curse of prophecy
Azlynn’s P.O.V. “The east kingdom is mourning the death of the great King Vindel Burdock Ambrosia, Ann.” No! The confines of the vehicle restricted my airflow as for a brief moment, I couldn’t breathe at all. The cursed word ‘death’ associated with my dad’s name shriveled my stomach. “You are lying, Daleyza. My dad can’t die!” Her words didn’t make any sense, feeling wrong at every angle. My dad wasn’t someone who just ceased to be. He was supposed to rule over the east kingdom until Howard’s grandkids fought for the throne in our palace. No, it must be a false alarm! Staring at her face with hope, I pushed away the tears and begged Dalyeza to speak the truth. “You are my best friend, Daleyza. Please don’t play such tricks on me. My dad ...” “King Vindel passed away, Ann!” Daleyza held my shoulders and spoke apologetically. “I am so sorry to inform you like this. But he died in a car crash last night. Prince Howard asked me to ...” I didn’t know what she said afte
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“He has left a letter for you!”The news of my dad’s will wasn’t just a distraction, but a gust of fresh air in the suffocating atmosphere. That familiar man’s voice gave a straw to a drowning person at the last moment.I followed the voice and walked towards the window, blinking my eyes rapidly to clear my hazy vision. That was when I spotted uncle Earl, standing on the balcony. He unlocked the silver grills and jumped inside.“I am extremely sorry for your loss, little princess.”“Uncle?”Unable to believe my eyes, I raised my hand to touch him and felt the warmth of life. His return was the first good thing I had experienced after so long. I couldn’t help but rush to hug him. “My dad is gone, uncle. I killed him!”Uncle placed his hand on my head and asked me.“What are you talking about, little princess? Who said that?”His chest rumbled with low growls as he stroked my hair and spoke seriously.“It’s not like that an old prophecy is the only danger for
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“Mate!”As she howled again for confirmation, a masculine howl resonated in the surrounding in response, trembling my heart in my chest. Bella wagged her tail happily.“Our mate is here, Ann. He had heard us!”Holy cow!A wave of relief washed over me as I sat down immediately, unable to process this shock of the divine blessing. The news of being mated right after my pleas for forgiveness short-circuited my brain. I admitted I was wrong, making countless mistakes until now. But it never crossed my mind that my dad would forgive me so hurriedly. He had overlooked my wrongdoings, clearing my name in front of my goddess. The power of his pure love eliminated all the troubles from my life in one shot. I couldn’t contain my emotions and cried out, thanking my goddess.“I can’t thank you enough for relieving my parents’ worry, the Moon Goddess. Please treat them well until I join them in heaven.”After tasting her blessing, I gave up on the idea of self harm perm
Azlynn’s P.O.V.“The North Kingdom will be proud of you, Crown Prince!”What? Crown Prince of North?My hands trembled as I stared at Xavion unblinkingly, processing the words hung in the air.“Who?Who is the North’s crown prince?”My heart hammered against my rib cage, a wild uneven rhythm that made my chest tightened. I looked around to seek confirmation from uncle Earl nearby. “Uncle, who else is here? Have you seen anyone from the North Kingdom?”But my eyes caught an unbelievable sight. An icy shiver ran down my spine to see uncle Earl tackled down cruelly. Two armed warriors had forced him to kneel, pointing their guns at him. I choked out. “W-What’s happening, uncle?”My stomach twisted painfully as reality hammered my head, making its way to my brain. I stumbled backwards as Xavion’s solemn, unwavering gaze put a stamp to my wildest imaginations. Uncle Earl’s response was just a formality when he spoke helplessly.“The Alpha standing in front of you is the crow
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-
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.
Azlynn’s P.O.V. “Going where?” Although I had already heard Xavion at first, I asked a question, giving him a chance to reconsider his statement. “Hayley is having lunch. Would you like to join us?” My mature approach was supposed to do its trick, informing Xavion that I didn’t wish to argue in front of my pup. But he didn’t consider my little girl’s innocence and spoke sharply. “Hayley is fine now, in perfect health to live with his father. I have informed King Demrid. He is on the way.” Well, that was it for my seriousness. I glared hard at him and said. “I don’t know what your definition of fine is, but my precious honey has just started recovering. Moving places isn’t safe for her.” As I tried to reason with him, Hayley also supported me. She spoke cutely. “Savior uncle, please let me stay. I am a good girl. I won’t trouble you.” Her innocence melted my heart into a puddle, even a cold-hearted beast was bound to say yes. But that was Xavion, my fated headache.
