Azlynn’s P.O.V.

“Forty-five million dollars?”

A wave of astonishment ran across the room as the outburst of the startled gasps put a stamp on wild guess, meeting my expectations.

When Mr. Julius decided to be the pain in my ass, I confronted him about his under-the-table dealings. It was proved now that he didn’t get the sponsors’ approval before spending this hefty amount as Mr. Maverick questioned sharply.

“How can you withdraw forty-five million dollars without even consulting us, Mr. Julius?

We trusted you with all the investments. Is that how you repay our favors?”

Mr. Julius, who was all smiles until now, became dead serious. His face took a haunted look as he stuttered in response.

“W-What are you talking about, Mr. Maverick? I am working fingers to the bones every day to promote football, searching for talented players to keep this sport alive.

You are well aware how ice hockey is trending among the youngsters nowadays.”

He counted his contributions to the foo

  • Football Star: The Jerk Alpha's Redemption    Who are you?

    Azlynn’s P.O.V.“It’s time for the final sacrifice!”My pulse slammed in my ears as his words echoed through the moonlit veranda. My arms circled Hayley firmly as I shouted.“No! You aren’t touching my daughter!”That cloaked man remained still, watching me like a predator enjoying the panic of his defenseless prey. “She is just a child!” I screamed, shielding Hayley as much as I could. “She has nothing to do with the problems of the adult world.”His black cloak fluttered slightly with the breeze that didn’t exist, tilting his hood slowly. “So quick to protect what isn’t yours.”He mused, voice like velvet stretched over a broken glass. “Heart touching story!You are a good mother, Candice.”Feeling sick to the stomach, I hissed at him. “And you are a monster. A coward, hiding behind magic and lies. And you want to kill a kid now?Shame on you!Even Satan spares the innocent children!”His stillness cracked as he laughed, low and cold, like ice snapping beneath one

    Azlynn’s P.O.V.“No!”My heart stopped beating as I fell to her side, brushing her hair back with my trembling hands. Bella screamed inside me.“No, it can’t happen. Our precious honey!”A bullet of panic rose in my chest as I reached out to my mate through the link, begging for his presence in this dire situation. Only he could protect us in the middle of a full-fledged ceremony, crawling with Alphas of every tribe.However, my every call met silence, a dark hollow void as the panic crawled through me like fire. My link was severed, which meant only one thing: I wasn’t inside the north kingdom!As the pack’s link worked inside an Alpha’s territory, the blocked connection screamed danger, scaring the hell out of me. I couldn’t think straight and staggered to the door, yanking at the handle to go out. But it was locked, leaving me restless. “Open it!”I shouted madly, pounding my fist against the frame.“Let me out!”My voice echoed in the room, getting no response. It was

  • Football Star: The Jerk Alpha's Redemption    The auspicious day part 2

    Azlynn’s P.O.V.The day of the crowning ceremony included a series of events, giving me a headache with a tough schedule. Firstly, Xavion had arranged a banquet for my formal introduction, inviting all the court officials and the noble men across the kingdom. I was looking forward to meeting some reasonable people in the crowd. However, the feast was nothing like I imagined. I had expected a speck of warmth, applause, or a welcoming smile from any member of a high council. But instead, I found myself seated among the stiffed-back advisors with colder eyes than the marble floors they presided over. They picked at their meals with precision, asked clipped questions with rehearsed courtesy, and looked through more than at me. Now, I felt my brother’s pain, who always appeared so uptight and formal. Xavion had warned me that not all would embrace change easily. Still, I hadn’t expected to feel so invisible. After all, I wasn’t only a new queen, but the famous prophecy girl. At leas

  • Football Star: The Jerk Alpha's Redemption    The auspicious day

    Azlynn’s P.O.V.The days passed like petals in the wind, fast, delicate and tinted with gold. I stood in the center of my chamber, surrounded by the rolls of silk, trays of glimmering jewelry, and the faint scent of lilies from the royal greenhouse. Every corner of the room buzzed with purpose: seamstresses darting around with pins in their mouths, guards pacing just outside the doors, and maids laying out the ceremonial sashes embroidered with ancient symbols of the north kingdom. I hadn’t expected the crowning ceremony to be so soon. But somehow between Lady Sabrina’s relentless efficiency and Xavion’s quiet insistence that I was ready, the auspicious day had arrived. And it had swallowed me whole with flaring anxiety. Bella whimpered in my mind.“Ann, it’s the first time we will face the world as the princess Candice Burdock Ambrosia. I am freaking out. What will we do now?”Although Xavion had repeatedly assured me to be carefree, this was my first public appearance. Calmin

    Azlynn’s P.O.V.My voice raised an octave as I listed Skylar’s qualities, speaking nonstop.“The heaven has blessed you with a gorgeous, empathetic, soft-spoken, and caring mate. You can’t find a better girl in the entire world. Are you just going to walk away from the mate, the Moon Goddess bestowed upon you?”My ragged breathing didn’t let me speak more; otherwise, I would have criticized his attempt to push her away using his royal authority. Howard turned to me, the pain etched deep into the corner of his eyes.“You think I want to walk away?”He said hoarsely. “I feel like my chest has been split open. Every time she looks at me, it hurts. But I …”His voice cracked. “I never asked for this. I can’t be with an enemy.”I reached out, grasping his arm tightly.“And you think Skylar is a terrorist? She wasn’t a part of the lunatics who once attacked the werewolf kingdom. Instead, she fought beside me, taking good care of Hayley. She was with me when I was hiding in exile

    Azlynn’s P.O.V.I gasped, stumbling back a step. My hand instinctively went to cover my belly as I asked.“Did you see that, Xavion? A red cross!”This bizarre sight shook Xavion too. He growled loudly.“Why didn’t you tell me that before, idiots? We are investigating red cross murders.”The older one made a pitiful face. “You never asked, Alpha.”Goddess!I punched Xavion’s shoulder, pulling him back to my worries. “I have seen this symbol before. It’s not a carving, but a magical spell. Oracle Delilah burned the same mark into uncle Earl’s skin when she made the second prophecy.”Voicing my horrors, I narrated the tale of the incidents in the west kingdom. Xavion’s eyes bulged out of their sockets as he listened to the latest changes in my behavior. He struggled to believe that I was the one who captured the vampire attacker in the forest. But he remained silent, letting me explain.“Besides all the incidents in the west, one thing is more important. My dad’s last lette

    Azlynn’s P.O.V.The sun arched high over the Salvatore castle, casting golden glow through the towering glass windows and draping the stone halls in warmth and festivity. Everywhere I went, servants bustled with gold trays. Musicians rehearsed soft melodies in the garden courtyard, and garlands of the moon lilies were stung along the banisters.The kingdom was alive, celebrating the arrival of the royal heir. And yet, I hadn’t a moment to breathe. From the second I stepped through the grand archway of the castle, I was whisked from one chamber to another, surrounded by the healers, midwives, and royal physicians. Each murmuring diagnostic performed scans, checking my pulse, my aura, and the bond mark. “She is stable!”One of the elder doctors finally said with a nod of approval. “But the mating mark’s magic has been amplified. Her Highness will need emotional and physical stability to avoid a surge during the last trimester.” “Which means!” Another added, grinning at me.

    Azlynn’s P.O.V.I looked down at Hayley as my breath hitched, trembling my heart. Xavion stiffened beside me, slowly turning towards her. His expressions shifted from stunned to wide-eyed joy in a heartbeat.“You want to go back?” He asked in awe. Hayley nodded shyly. “Yes, savior uncle. Mommy smiles more when you are around. I wish to see her smile daily.”I laughed at Hayley’s response, a choking sound of disbelief and tenderness. But before I could say a word, Xavion bent down swiftly and scooped her into his arms.“My princess!” He spoke happily, “Do you know what you just did?” Hayley glanced at him with incredulity.“No, savior uncle.”“You saved me!” Xavion said, his voice hoarse with emotions.“I was so scared to ask her that. But you!”He held her up like she was made of starlight as she giggled in delight. “You gave me hope, Hayley. Now, I understand why Azlynn calls you her precious honey. Indeed, you can add sweetness to the bitter lives, princess.”Hayley

  • Football Star: The Jerk Alpha's Redemption    The news

    Azlynn’s P.O.V.“Azlynn?”Xavion was stunned, reaching out. His hand hovered over mine around his neck, as if unsure I would strangle him or not. The sharp pain seized my lower belly, so brutal that I couldn’t pay attention to the delicious sparks dancing on my skin. I staggered, clutching Xavion’s shoulder.“You should speak less and listen more!”Bella surged to the surface with such a ferocity that it blurred my vision. All I could hear was her voice, screaming to remind me. “Mark him, Ann. Our child is in danger.”This pregnancy without bond completion was already a miracle, so wasting a second more was harming my baby. As everything could wait, I slid my hand to Xavion’s nape and bent him forward, rising on my tiptoes. With a growl, I slammed my lips against the base of his neck.“W-What?”Xavion gasped, losing his mind. But I didn’t let him utter nonsense anymore and extended my teeth, swiftly biting him down. The taste of his blood, ash, and something ancient flooded i
