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

I like it so far. I'm curious how Xavion's Dad knows about Azlynn, how Azlynn is going to cause disaster to the North Kingdom, and who Azlynn's mate is. Xavion's relationship with his mate, Valerie, seems one-sided, and not like other books where it is a bond that pulls the mates closer together.

    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

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. 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

    Xavion’s P.O.V. I should have killed my father when he taught me how to hold a weapon. Not by guiding my hand, but by beating the hell out of me with the flat of the blade until I stopped crying. However, I didn’t kill him, following his commands like a dog. And now! Now I had destroyed the only soul that was specially made for me. Pacing back and forth, my boots echoed like gunshots in silence. My chest was heaving as my rage choked me with every single breath. Azlynn knew! She knew everything! The moment that I dreaded the most was there, skinning me alive. She was aware of how I hired the men, set the plan, and killed her beloved father. I had thought that it was just a threat, the East king, who should be eliminated because of hiding the prophecy girl. But I didn’t know that ‘good of the empire’ would bite me in the ass. My fake bond with Valerie cost me my fated pairing. Azlynn looked at me like I was her death itself. Unsure about what to do next, I was racing my brain

    Azlynn’s P.O.V. “North kingdom is well versed in magic. Especially illusions, projections, and sleep spells. How sure are you that Xavion was truly with you the whole night?” Alpha Dashon’s statement slid into the room like fire, turning my world into a pile of ash and smoke. My hand flew to my mouth to halt an involuntary scream as I lost my footing briefly, stumbling. Xavion stepped forward fast to support me. His voice cracked with emotions. “I didn’t drug you for it. I didn’t do this for murder, Azlynn. Trust me, I wasn’t aware that King Vindel was your father at that time. I swear to the Moon Goddess …” His golden eyes, that were the main source to calm my every storm in me, were frantic now. He continued desperately. “I was scared to lose you, foolishly proving myself as a King to be worthy of you. And Alpha Dashon, he fed me a target, tying King Vindel’s life to my throne. I thought it was just a political contact, nothing else. I would have never touched him if I knew

    Azlynn’s P.O.V. The door slammed open, revealing my fated headache’s furious figure. His growl thundered the room before I could even process his sudden arrival. Xavion was supposed to be on the ground, completing the formalities after the match. How did he come here so soon? Xavion’s eyes glowed gold, sharp with fury. His chest was heaving beneath his open shift where every muscle coiled tight. It was like he changed his clothes in a rush. Glaring at Demrid, he snarled, racing my heart. “What the hell are you doing here, South King?” Despite Xavion’s rage, Demird appeared calm, hands up in peace. “I am here for my daughter. Nothing else, King Xavion” Unfortunately, his cool only ignited Xavion’s rage. He spat out. “Don’t you dare lie to my face! You think I can’t see what’s going on here? It’s obvious that you are trying to manipulate my mate, using her past affection as a leash!” Unlike before, Xavion blamed Demrid for fooling me. It was a significant development in

    Azlynn’s P.O.V. Hayley’s hopeful eyes shattered my heart. I had once promised her to marry her daddy to be the forever family. My precious honey was just a kid, oblivious to the challenges of real life. It was so hard to explain that love and hate were more complex than they seemed to be. Crouching down to be at her level, I spoke softly. “To whom I love or marry will never affect our relationship, my precious honey. I am your mommy and nothing can change it.” “Pinky promise?” She raised her tiny finger, seeking confirmation. I laughed and joined my pinky with her. “Pinky promise, my precious honey. I love you!” “I love you too, mommy.” Hayley hugged me tightly, washing a wave of relief over me. I caressed her back and asked her. “Now be good and come with me. You have already missed your afternoon nap due to the match.” My precious honey was still recovering, so we had to follow her schedule given by the doctors. I took her to the guest room upstairs and put her t

    Azlynn’s P.O.V.The worry laced in Hayley’s cute voice mirrored her concern for her daddy. It felt great to see that she was so closely attached to her biological father. Perhaps the long break in our relationship was necessary to give her space. Her bond with Demrid couldn’t be strengthened if it wasn’t for my unannounced absence. However, it had cost me a fortune as my precious honey was now a skeleton, too weak for the normal five years old pup. Her heart was pounding against her chest to witness her daddy’s difficulty in the ground. Stroking her hair, I tried to comfort her with a grin.“He dodged that attack. You see this spin. It’s a masterpiece!”Widening her eyes, she was staring at the screen in a daze. My assurance calmed her panic as she nodded fiercely. “Yes, mommy. Daddy is tricky. He can manage.”Then she noticed Xavion’s defense, commanding over the ground. Hayley spoke excitedly.“Daddy is fast, but my savior uncle is faster. He can run like a cheetah.”Her

He vented his frustration at his Beta, kicking him out. “Go to the security guard’s office. The servants will give you your pizza box.”Alvaro’s pleading gaze begged for mercy, reminding me I had to talk to Alicia for him. Then he left with a scowl on his face. Within thirty minutes, my order was delivered, and I happily grabbed my pizza for dinner. However, Xavion appeared perplexed to see chicken piccata. He had to eat protein for tomorrow’s match, so I didn’t order carb loaded pizza for him. But he wasn’t ready to eat it. He stabbed a fork into the overcooked chicken, like it had insulted his ancestors. Chewing slowly, he looked increasingly tortured with each bite. I could almost hear his pride cracking.“This is … something!”He finally muttered, setting his fork down. He reached for the glass of wine like it might save his taste buds. Enjoying my pizza, I gave him

    Azlynn’s P.O.V. Sabrina’s motherly love burst me into tears, stirring something deep in my chest. Perhaps I was reacting overly emotional, or this assurance was the best thing I had ever heard after my dad’s death. She was the maternal figure I had never seen in my life, letting me taste the bounty of mother’s affection. Now, I realized how it felt when mothers solve their daughter’s grave issues with their years of experience. Her resolve not to pass the generational trauma touched my heart, I thanked her sincerely. “I have no words to tell you how grateful I am, mom.” Sobbing without restraint, I poured my heart out. “I was hopeless about my future, thinking that my life would be another name of misery. Xavion would never alter his ways. He turned into such a mean, obsessive, and heartless person that I couldn’t even recognize him, mom.” I shared my fears with her and felt an invisible weight lifting off my chest. A conversation with Sabrina was indeed better than therapy, a

    Azlynn’s P.O.V. As Xavion mentioned it now, it dawned on me that I really forgot to laugh wholeheartedly after my dad’s demise. His unfortunate death was the point when I lost my protector. He saved me from all the troubles like a powerful shield against calamities. But now, I had to deal with the true face of the world after him. As my old man’s memory moistened my eyes, I stopped laughing and wiped them, speaking shakily. “Yeah, it’s been so long.” Xavion stepped closer as his painted face softened beneath the makeup. “I didn’t mean to make you sad, Azlynn. My tongue slipped and …” He brushed my cheeks gently, and even through that ridiculous costume, our bond hummed like electricity. “I just wish to see you smile and laugh like you used to. It never crossed my mind that cheering you up was always in my hands.” His soulful tone hit my heart, sharing his sentiments through our bond. Xavion held my chin softly and gazed at me. “Please forgive me for taking so long to realize

She continued without any hesitation.“I haven’t seen any case of one-sided marking in the mate-bond. Azlynn is depriving King Xavion of his basic rights. So, scaring her was the only method left.But now it seems that we have miscalculated her daring. She didn’t mark him, despite the terrifying story of the late Vampire King.”The sudden stab of betrayal brutally tore my insides apart, making me wince in pain. I didn’t know whether to scream or cry after seeing the true face of my so-called friend. Instead of understanding my situation, Alicia teamed up against me, taking advantage of my trust. It never occurred to me she would be like others as well.The heat burned behind my eyes as I blinked away my tears and spun on my heels, leaving silently. This part of the conversation was enough for me to realize that I was being played. There was no need for more eavesdropping after
