Axton’s P.O.V

“Axton…”

I opened my eyes to darkness. There was no light, no vision, as if I had gone blind, but I didn’t feel afraid. It was a welcoming darkness.

“Axton.”

There it was! That voice again. It was a voice I was very much familiar with. But how?

“Lily?” I whispered, looking around frantically for a glimpse of her.

Suddenly, a burst of light appeared in the darkness…and there she was. Lily Arliss. My beautiful, kind and patient Lily.

Her long brunette hair blew back in the wind, the strands appearing to almost float around her head. Her blue eyes looked directly at me and her blush pink lips were tilted up in a smile.

“Axton.” She smiled, stretching her hand.

“Lily!” I reached out for her, stretching my hands out as far as they would go.

Curling my hands around her waist, I brought her down,

    Axton’s P.O.VI heard Anika’s head fall back on to the ground and knew that she fallen unconscious probably because of fear rather than her injuries. I could scent blood on her and it made me anxious to find out exactly how hurt she was, but I had to wait. There was a bigger problem in front of me.It was then that I turned into my human form and looked directly at the intruder wolf, taking a protective stance in front of Anika. If the wolf was out for blood, it would have to go through me first.“Who are you?” I growled deep in my throat, standing guard over Anika’s unconscious form. “Show yourself!”I knew every member of my pack by their very own unique scents, but this was no packmate. This was a wolf from another pack, probably an enemy. And even though my old pack was no longer my responsibility, I wasn’t going to let it hurt Anika. If I had arrived only a few seconds later, the

    Anika’s P.O.VI woke up with a start, feeling my lungs constricting, my heart pounding against my ribcage.“Wh-where…” I looked around in a state of panic, trying to figure out where I was or how I was even alive.“Hey…Anika,” I felt a hand on mine and Raaz’s soft voice from beside me and felt the panic subside almost immediately.I looked beside me then, to find him sitting next to the bed, on the floor and holding my hand. His green eyes were darker than usual and they were filled with worry as he reached out to me with a wet towel and wiped at my forehead. The cool cloth brought me instant relief, just as I slowly came to the realization that I was now inside my cabin house, on my bed.“Raaz?” I asked, swallowing hard as I felt my throat dry up.“Here,” he reached for the bedside table and held a glass of water to my lips. “Drink slowly.

    Anika’s P.O.VI grit my teeth as I saw Steven Hallow’s smug smile from across the table. But he wasn’t my main concern as of this moment.The disciplinary board today consisted of the Chief of Surgery, Steven Hallow, some of our best surgeons, Dr. Willow Slogan and Dr. Raymond Desmond, the Senior Consultant, Dr. Madhu Prabhas and the CEO of New York City Hospital, Dr. Max Nosek.“Dr. Anika Mehta, I hope you are aware of why we are holding this meeting today?” Dr. Nosek raised his eyebrows at me, making me nervous all over again.But I wasn’t here to back down. So I swallowed the lump in my throat and shook my head. “I’m sorry, ladies and gentlemen.” I addressed everyone with a polite smile. “But I am completely unaware of why this disciplinary committee was called. As far as I remember…I hadn't done anything that would require disciplinary action.”“You

I don’t think I will. Unless, of course, you’re offering to suck my dick.”Steven gagged upon hearing that and back up further into a corner. But Gustav wasn’t done yet. He knelt in front of Steven with a menacing smile. “I almost forgot to introduce myself. I’m Sherriff Gustav Bernard, from the Sapphire Mountain PD.”That was all Steven needed to know as all the fight left his body and he looked up at Gustav in horror. “Now, be a good boy and pack your stuff, will you? I don’t think this hospital will be needing your services anymore.”“P-please…” Steven managed to stutter out.&

    Axton’s P.O.V I looked down at the open trash can and the bowl of noodles in my hand, debating if I was doing the right thing. In the end, I placed the bowl back inside the fridge instead of throwing it out. “Fuck!” What the fuck had gotten into me? That kiss was nothing significant to fuss over? And now that she didn’t eat the meal I prepared for her, I was planning on throwing away the noodles I made for her this morning? Seriously, I was acting like an angry teenager who lives rent free at their parent’s house and yet feel like all the world’s suffering is insignificant next to theirs! There was no use in denying the fact that the kiss yesterday morning had made me feel things that I wasn’t supposed to feel, especially science it had only been days since Lily died. But the mating bond was hella strong…stronger than I had imagined it to be despite the fact that my mate was human. Was this how my father had felt when he let g

    Anika’s P.O.VShutting off my engine, I took a deep breath and leaned back against my seat, as I stared at my cabin.Raaz was probably asleep, considering that it was past ten at night. Or he probably didn’t care that I was late?I shook my head at my foolishness. Why was I trying to avoid going inside my own cabin? Just because of a stranger’s judgment? Just because of one little mistake?My mind was a mess and I was stressing out and that too, over a man I had known for what? Four days now?But tonight, while having dinner with Gustav, I realized something about me and Raaz that I hadn't realized before. And it was an eye opening realization.The day I came to the Sapphire Mountains, my life was in shambles. Everything that I had been living with, my believes, my family, the people I trusted…they had all let me down in one fell swoop and they weren’t even the least bit sorry about what they d

  • Saving Alpha Axton   Chapter 24: A Sprinkle of Jealousy

    Anika’s P.O.V I took in the light pink blouse and dark blue denims that I had put on in the mirror, debating if I should change into a white shirt instead to go with the moss green jacket I was planning on wearing on top. It was finally the night that I would get to meet my savior; the mysterious woman who had saved my life from that hungry-looking wolf. So far, I had no idea who she was or how she looked, but Axton says she invited both of us to dinner this evening. It was a bit strange that a woman who saved my life was asking me to join her for dinner except for it being the other way around, but I guess some people like things a specific way?... if that even makes sense. On the other hand, I was still getting used to calling Raaz as Axton. Not that I was used to calling him Raaz for long, but in some way, him getting his memories back meant that it wouldn’t be long before him and I go our separate ways. ‘What are you?’

  • Saving Alpha Axton   Chapter 25: A Proposal Too Tempting

    Axton’s P.O.V Sabrina had tried her best to grab my attention. From the décor to the food and the way she was dressed. Everything had only one intension…to seduce me. I could see it in the way her lips tilted up; the way her eyes roamed my form hungrily and the way her breasts strained against the fabric of her dress. She was still in heat and she seemed to have chosen me as her target. The problem here was, I was still unmated and the close proximity between us was making my wolf agitated as well. If I had mated Anika, or if my wolf had formed a mental bond with her wolf, then another wolf’s heat wouldn’t have bothered us. But Anika was human and I had chosen not to give into the temptation of the bond between us, so my wolf was now scratching at me, trying to get close to Sabrina. “Oh? Then can I have him?” That question had taken me just as off-guard as it had taken Anika and now that she rushed to the washroom to fix her d

    Hello everyone! Saving Alpha Axton had come to an end, but this is just the beginnig of the journey. The sequel, Torn Between Alpha Mates will be out before the end of this year, I promise. But in the meantime, I do want to take a short break from writing werewolf stories. As a writer, it becomes repetative to write about the same topic over and over again. That's why, I'll temporarity be shifting to the Billionaire/CEO and the Badboy genre's to refresh my mind, before I continue with the sequel. Please be patient with me and I hope you understand my dilemma. And a big thank you to everyone who read this book. It's my very first exclusive after being a traditionally published author and I'm very thankful to all of you who made it so far into this journey. Please feel free to leave your honest opinions, so I can be aware of my mistakes in the future and provide you with an even better reading experience. And most of all, thank you Nakuru Murakami!

After the shitty life he had been forced to live thanks to my parents…it was the least I could have done for him.My vision was hazy…dark. And I couldn’t really feel anything at all. Was I really dead?“Axton?” Came the voice of an Angel.I tried to open my mouth, to talk, but it didn’t happen. Nothing was coming out. I couldn’t find words…all I could do was make this low groaning sound that was barely illegible.Suddenly, the lights turned on in the room, bright and harsh and I had to close my eyes shut tightly to escape from its harshness.“Hey,” I inhaled her scent as she came closer…felt the heat of her touch through my clothes

It was Sabrina’s claw mark.“Wakey, wakey little girly!” Sabrina’s voice sounded oddly close, before cold water splashed onto my face, making me gasp out loud, forcing me to open my eyes.“There you are.” Sabrina’s smiling face came into view, as she bent in front to me to be eye level with me. “I thought I would have to wait longer, but you sure are resilient.”Blinking rapidly to get the water out of my eyes, I looked around the room to grasp the situation. My house looked fine

    Anika’s P.O.V:I paced around the living area, anxious and worried. The entire pack had gone to war today and I couldn’t do anything else but worry.Fin was a part of the recovery team, a team of ‘healers’ as she told me. They were wolves with special powers to speed up the healing of other wolves. It was a special power bestowed upon the wolves by the Moon Goddess and only special wolves had them. Every pack had two to three healers. It was an ability that I was starting to crave.Damnit! If I had the abilities of a wolf, even if not to the fullest, when were they supposed to show up? Why didn’t I feel any different? I remember Gustav telling me that for now, the powers will come in burst, in no particular order. But at this moment, I really wanted to have super-strength or at least have extended claws so I could rip the throat out of that bitch, Sabrina.But my pacing wasn’t helping anyone so I tried

    Anika’s P.O.V“So…?” Tiffany asked as I came inside the cabin and shut the door behind me.A sigh escaped my lips as I felt physically and emotionally drained. I shook my head, telling her that I was alright. “I’ll get some rest.” I told her, heading to my room. “I just feel tired.”“Okay.” Fin nodded, continuing to unpack the stuff she brought with her. “I’ll call you when dinner’s ready.”“No, I-”The doorbell rang at that moment, making me groan. Who could it be this time? I simply didn’t want to meet or talk to anyone, ever again. Why couldn’t the universe leave me alone?“I’ll get it.” Fin got up from the floor, where she had her overnight bag laid out and headed to the door.I turned to leave for my room regardless, because I was dead tired, but her next words made me stop dead in

    Gustav’s P.O.VSabrina’s smile was both cunning and seductive as she folded her hands in front of her chest, her black dress hugging her body like a glove. Her lips were painted a deep red and her makeup was flawless. Everything about her exuded power and strength, except…she didn’t have the scent of an Alpha. She never had.In short, she was just another privileged ‘Alpha’ who got the responsibility of a pack as a ‘hand-me-down’. But that’s where her similarity with Axton ended. Sabrina was a cunning woman, enough to have held her pack together for nearly forty years. But as time passes and new members are added or born, her power keeps weakening. That’s why she wants to mate an Alpha so desperately. She doesn’t mind becoming a Luna, as long as she can secure a future full of fortunes.“I heard you had fun seducing my brother.” I leaned back in my chair, never

    Anika’s P.O.V“You have me.” I told him.“Anika?” Axton’s voice felt like a low whisper at the back of my mind as I felt a kind of blood rush to my ears.I couldn’t see anything else, feel anything else but Gustav’s presence right in front of me. his eyes were wide as he looked into mine and for a second…I thought I saw golden lightning zap through them. And that feeling resonated inside my own body as a shiver ran down my spine.“What-?” I blinked in surprise, letting go of his arm as it felt like I was holding onto something red-hot and burning.Gustav broke eye contact to look up at Axton and Tiffany. “Tell the pack to prepare. Also let them know that I’m reinstating Axton into my pack as a soldier from now on. If he wants to get back the respect of the pack, he’ll have to crawl his way to the top. And for now, take him to live in my old house,

    Gustav’s P.O.V I turned my gaze towards Axton sharply. From the look on his face, it was clear what was going on at this moment. “Axton?” I tried to keep my voice under control so it wouldn’t startle Anika, but in the end, I couldn’t. It hadn't even been a week when Emilio and Damien had traced down Axton’s scent to the Dawn Valley manor. Not even a week when Anika had been crying in my arms because of his betrayal. What was wrong with my brother? Why did he find it so easy to cheat and sleep around? How could he be manipulated so easily? “She wanted me to be her mate.” Axton said, looking down at the floor with his hands clenched at his sides. I immediately turned to Anika. “You don’t have to listen to this.” “Listen to this?” Anika raised her eyebrows as she gave a humorless laugh. “I found his face between her legs at the dinner table. The dinner that she invited us to, after apparently saving me from some wolf. She

    Anika’s P.O.VThere was a long list of regrets in my life where I wish things could have been different or that I could have made better choices. But this time, I was done blaming myself for other people’s fuck ups! If Axton, Gustav and the rest couldn’t own up to their mistakes, I wasn’t blaming myself for them either.I never asked to be involved in this feud. I never asked to be brought into this world. I never asked to fall for either of the brothers and then be used as a tool to play tug of war with the two of them.“You tried to warn me, didn’t you?” I told her now. “But I didn’t listen.”“It’s not that you didn’t listen…none of us ever gave you anything to suspect. The brothers used your innocence against you. And I am so sorry for it.”“Why didn’t you at least try to warn me?” I had asked her th
