Xavion’s P.O.V.“Mr. Waller, you should call your mate. It’s getting out of our hands.”Withering in pain, all I could hear were the doctors’ stupid excuses for no treatment. Those high-class bastards were unable to treat a simple headache for so long. I grabbed my head with both hands and yelled, shooing them away. “Give me another dosage of morphine and get the hell out of my room.I will be fine after some rest.”Five years, and still, I had to remind them of the protocol. It was clear evidence of the doctor’s incompetence. I lost it when he said that.“We have maxed out morphine injections. You can’t take any painkillers for the next twelve hours, Mr. Waller.”“Fuck off!”Rubbing my temples, I snarled at those sorry excuses of the medical professionals and ordered Beta Alvaro. “Call the health department. I want their licenses revoked. They don’t deserve to be called doctors.”My old headache was exploding in my head, hurting my wolf as well. I couldn’t understand wh
Xavion’s P.O.V. “Selene city? The capital of the North Kingdom? Are you sure, Alpha?” We were all set to leave and Alvaro was stuck on this query, asking it for the third time as if I would give him a different answer this time. He wasn’t ready to believe it when I ordered him to board the plane. “Xavion, it’s been years since you last stepped foot on that land. Even your royal mother’s tears couldn’t weaken your resolve. What happened now?” I rolled my eyes at his curiosity and explained to him once the plane took off. “It’s for Azlynn. I am going to negotiate a deal with dad.” “You’ll do what?” He screamed so loudly that the staff on board paused to look at us, suspecting some sort of health hazard. I had to punch his shoulder to shush him. “You heard it right. I have to step up my game to defeat Demrid.” Then there was a series of questions lashed out at me. Alvaro wanted every single detail to digest this sudden end of my boycott. Well, his confusion was justifi
Azlynn’s P.O.V. “Ugh! When will this headache end?” It was the third day after the big win and my head was pounding in pain non-stop, as if a nuclear explosion had destroyed my world. All it took was one hug and my body reacted violently, causing immense pain in my head. Why did it happen? It was an unsolved mystery, bothering me nonstop. I made a doctor’s appointment, ate painkillers, and pressed Bella for an answer. It might be related to my wolf’s health. As she was suppressed for months after my return to Lake city, I guessed that my caution must be hurting her. But she said otherwise. “I have no issues with staying in the shadows, Ann. It’s something about Demrid.” Bella replayed the moment when it all started in my mind. “We were happy, celebrating for a historical win. But I felt strange as soon as Demrid touched us. It was like a wave of pain hit us …” As everything pointed towards my precious honey’s daddy, I couldn’t hold back for long and confronted him dire
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
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
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.“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.
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.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
