Football Star: The Jerk Alpha's Redemption

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 such a tease, Valerie.”

The flirtatious laughter in response was a bombshell of realization, my mind went blank for a moment. Pushing through the crowd, I found my Alpha boyfriend with breathtaking beauty, their bodies intertwined passionately crumbled my world around me.

“Valerie?”

It took me a moment to recognize the girl in the short red dress, the new transfer student in our class, she was the heir to a famous Alpha bloodline. Her plump lips all over my boyfriend’s mouth nauseated me to the core.

My heart was heavy in my chest, but also a wave of fury and resentment coursed through me. After two years of selfless support, that was how Xavion repaid me?

Tears burned my eyes, urging me to leave, but a soft sob escaped my lips.

“Xavion!”

Suddenly, the loud music stopped, followed by the pin drop silence of the party. My call was successful in garnering Xavion’s attention.

That extraordinary imposing Alpha walked over, cleaning the corner of his lips. I confronted him while pushing back my tears.

“Valerie and you?

How can you …”

“Luna Valerie!”

Xavion’s cold voice warned me, “Watch your tongue, omega!”

My hand flew to my mouth to stifle an involuntary scream, the slap of being an omega slapped me hard across my face. I had heard this word for continuously two years just for his sake, and tonight, he also insulted me like this.

I gulped a lump in my throat with great difficulty and spoke, “You promised to marry me, Xavion. We are in love, then …”

Tears tightened my throat, cutting me off mid-sentence, I couldn’t speak up for myself. Xavion’s 1.93 m tall frame towered over me like a mountain of robust muscles, his devilishly handsome face scrunched up in disgust.

“Marry you?”

The corner of his lips curled up in a mean smirk, and the next moment, his honey brown eyes were ablaze with rage.

“Even after so much, you still have the guts to point your finger at me?

You are such a flagrant woman, omega!”

“Easy, babes!”

With her waist-length hair cascading like flowing water, gorgeous Valerie placed her delicate hand on Xavion’s shoulder. Her pure eyes emitted an innocent and captivating charm as she calmed him.

“Please show her the reports!

Strong evidence is required to confront a promiscuous girl like her.”

My mind lost its proper functioning, frozen by the shock of these startling events, I couldn’t hear beyond that slut shaming.

I had only kissed my boyfriend in my entire life, let alone having physical relations. Then how could she slander me for a non-existent crime?

Xavion took out an envelope from his jacket pocket and threw it over my face.

“This piece of paper has revealed your true colors behind the façade of a pure girl, omega.

You hid your affair so well that even I was fooled by your classic acting.”

My heart raced like a galloping horse in my chest as I opened the envelope with trembling hands. It was difficult to read because of my teary vision, but the heading of the report shook the ground below me.

“Patient’s name: Azlynn Eastwood.

Pregnancy test: Positive.”

The name and date on the paper blew my head away, I was shaken by the absurdity of the report. Breathing in sharply, I screamed like a mad woman.

“This is fake!”

And stepped forward in a hurry, “I can’t be pregnant, Xavion.

This is impossible! You know the truth.”

Xavion and I had promised to be loyal to each other, waiting for the best moment for sex: Our wedding night.

Then …

Xavion’s unsmiling voice slithered into my ears as he thundered in fury.

“That’s what I thought, but you have cheated on me, omega. I would have never found out if Valerie didn’t take off the blindfold of love from my eyes.”

Then he flashed his cell phone’s screen in front of my eyes.

“Valerie’s cousin is a laboratory attendant who confirmed the reports. There’s no need to play innocent now.”

Because of an outbreak last week, our university collected the blood samples of all the students for general blood work. My results were also negative like the rest of the class, then why did Valerie order a pregnancy test for me?

The connection between these two occurrences rendered me speechless, making me gawk at the exemplary Alpha couple standing right in front of my eyes. Calming my racing heart, I tried to sound normal, but my shaky voice deserted me.

“I am not pregnant, Xavion. And why is Valerie poking her nose in our personal matters?

You wanna a test, come with me to the hospital. We can do the test again.

But wait!”

My insides twisted to remember the scene of his intimate kiss with Valerie just now, I asked him sternly,

“Tell me one thing before, why were you kissing her so passionately? Isn’t it cheating?”

My burning query received a thunderous growl in response, a look of great bitterness swept across Xavion’s face. He charged at me.

“How dare you, omega?”

I stumbled backwards as his hurtful words pierced through my heart. The contempt, accusation, and fake evidence wasn’t enough for Xavion, he held my chin tightly and spat out, darkening my world.

“Address Valerie with respect, omega. She is my fated mate!”
