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! I love you to bits, my girl! And no, she isn't lietrally my girl, she my editor and my friend. This story wouldn't have been possible without you, Nakuru. Thank you for encouraging me, for standing beside me and for being my sounding board! This story wouldn't be possible without you. Remember that I will still need your 'exclusive' help when I write the sequel!đ„°đ„°
So thank you once again to each and every one of you, especially to my mom for supporting me and my writing from day one and being my biggest fangirl. I LOVE YOU ALLL!!!!!!
Happy reading and stay safe!đ§Ąđ§Ąđ§Ąđ§Ąđ§Ąđ§Ąđ§Ąđ§Ąđ§Ą
Chapter 1: Anikaâs P.O.V âExoticâŠexquisite, and efficient. We hardly see such deadly combination in women nowadays.â My boss, Steven Hallow, a man in his mid 40âs with a beautiful wife and two lovely childrenâŠclinked his Champagne flute to mine and at the same time, rubbed his sock covered feet up my bare leg. I forced a smile at the senior surgeon and moved my legs out of the way, but it wasnât all that comfortable while sitting right next to the man in question, and when I was in a room filled with guests and trustee members who were all gathered to donate handsome amounts to the hospital funds to help us with our research work. I always knew Steven had a habit of coming on too strong and underestimating women in the medical work field, but he had always been a bit tooâŠtouchy-feely, if that was even a word, when it had come to me. Steven hadnât always been this obvious or open about his âlikingâ towa
Chapter 2: Axtonâs P.O.V: I fixed the collar of my shirt and looked at the bouquet of multicolored lilies in my hand, debating if I should have brought something else instead. Lily Arliss loved her namesake flowers. She wasnât a woman people would exactly call delicate; she had survived the tyranny of an arrogant Alpha and come out sane on the other side. She was the one who had sent a secret letter to me asking for my packâs assistance in helping them overthrow their Alpha. And she was also the woman who had helped save several of their packmates when my pack had attacked. In many ways, she was the ideal Luna, the one who stayed calm even in the eyes of the storm. The one who always knew what to do even if the situation proved to be impossible. But I had learned too late that she had never been meant to be mine. When I had attacked Lilyâs old pack and overthrown their Alpha, I had to return back to my p
Chapter 3: Anikaâs P.O.V âRahul?â I looked from my fiancĂ© to my roommate. âAsh?â âAnikaâŠâ Ash laughed nervously, pulling the sheets up to her neck as her and Rahul sprang apart. âThis isnât how it looks likeâŠâ My mind just shifted to autopilot-bitch mode on its own. It was my defense mechanism since I was a teenager. Being continuously harassed for my âsmelly hairâ and âcurryâ lunches, I had developed almost like a split-personality that didnât give a shit about what other people thought and always ended up getting me in trouble, but it was what had helped me survive The American High School Experience as a woman of colour. âReally?â I pulled out my phone from my purse and snapped a picture of the shameless duo without a second thought. âBecause this clearly looks like cheating to me.â I held the phone up to show them their picture and Rahul sprang up from the bed, in all his three inch glory and rushe
Axton’s P.O.V“Gustav…” My voice came out a whisper, as I slowly stood up from the floor; Lily’s body lying unmoving by my feet.“Axe…why?” Gustav fell to the floor, his eyes wide and fixated on Lily’s lifeless form.“Alpha…” One of the men next to Gustav looked at me in horror before looking at Lily’s lifeless form and then back up at me.Everyone stood stunned, rooted to their spot; including me. The situation kept getting worse with every second that passed.“I found her like this, I swear.” I told my half-brother, putting my hands up in surrender as I watched his lips tremble as he watched blood gush out of Lily’s heart.It is said that when a sharp object is impaled in your body, you mustn’t pull it out to prevent death due to blood loss. But the dagger that had been plunged into Lily’s heart had been silver. T
Anika’s P.O.VThis evening, I got harassed by my boss and almost got molested; punched my boss in the nuts to escape. Got home to find my fiancé in bed with my roommate and then found out he had been cheating on me for five whole months. And finally, got kicked out of my preferred hospital and ended up on a stupid clinic by the mountain side where the only patients I would be treating would be a few deer’s and grizzlies.If only I had been fired and thrown out of my house at the same time, it would’ve been the perfect plot for some kind of a CEO romance novel bullshit.The CEO’s Doctor Sex Slave, or, CEO’s personal Maid. Wouldn’t that just be the perfect title for my messed up life?The only difference was, the real world didn’t have half as many CEO’s as they did in the romance novels and not every girl that went through a rough day was lucky enough to land on a CEO’s lap, espe
Chapter 6:Anika’s P.O.V“Oh My God!”My heart thundered against my chest as I took deep breaths to calm myself.I was afraid to look up. I was afraid I’d see blood splattered all across my window…or worse…organs. It made my stomach churn.The only thing that broke the eerie silence in that moment was my mother’s frantic voice over the phone, which was now lying at my feet.Gulping down my nausea, I picked up my cell from near the brakes as I was already hunched over the steering, my hand trembling so bad that I dropped it several times before successfully bringing it to my ears.“I-I w-ill call y-ou la-ter.”I hate that my voice trembled, as did the rest of my body, because my mother kept asking me continuously if I was okay, even as I hung up. But I wasn’t concerned about myself. Not now.Swallowing past my fear, I jerker my
Anika’s P.O.V“Fucking sack of potatoes!” I cursed for the millionth time as I dragged the man across the driveway and into the house.I had taken out one of the bedcovers from the cupboard in the bedroom and then placed it on the ground before pushing and pulling the man onto the cover and tied it around him to help me pull him along. By the time I had made it to the bedroom with him, more than half an hour had passed and my entire dress was soaked through with sweat.Why was I doing this again you say? I could have easily just left him on the road and pretended I hadn't seen him and gotten away with it too, because apart from the bruising, his two main injuries were the stab wounds. But damn that Hippocratic Oath and my conscience as a doctor! I just couldn’t leave a wounded person behind, no matter what he did or who he was.So, after another few minutes of struggle, I hauled him on top of the bed and discarded
Axtonâs P.O.V âGusâŠYou need to stop. It wasnât me! I didnât kill Lily!â âI know.â ⊠âYouâve always been privileged, my dear litter brother. Thatâs why you never noticed how much Iâve suffered all my life.â âGusâŠwhat are you talking about?â I managed to stutter out. ⊠âYouâre a pathetic weakling that got everything served on a silver platter.â âYou donât deserve to be Alpha.â âGusâŠâ âI know, you weakling. I know.â ⊠âBecause I killed her.â * * I jerked up in bed, my hands and legs trembling and my whole body covered in perspiration. I closed my eyes momentarily, fisting my hands to stop the trembling. It was all just a nightmare, right? Lily couldnât possibly be dead, right? And Gustav? My older half-bro
