Axton’s P.O.VSabrina tilted her head to one side, making her dark hair slide off her shoulders to reveal the taut mound of her breasts. They were beautiful and supple, a handful; and her nipples were budded into stiff peaks.Trading through the water, I reached her side of the pool and stood in front of her.Lifting up my hands, I placed them on her waist, but Sabrina pushed me back using her legs and got up from the floor. Confused, I frowned at her, waiting to ask what she was doing. But then she made her way to the bed and got into it. And then she called me over with a flick of a finger.Narrowing my eyes, I got out of the water, rose petals sticking to my body as dried off the water before heading to the bed. Getting on it, I covered her body with mine, straddling her hips as I leaned down to place my hands on either side of her head.Sabrina looked at me with wolf gold eyes, sliding her fingers over my hand to rest the

Axton’s P.O.V“Anika…” I called cautiously; standing up from the ground as my body ached.How? How? HOW? My wolf howled inside my mind. And I didn’t have any answer for him…and the only one I could think of…it was impossible.Her attention snapped to me instantly and she bared her teeth to me, a sound emitting from her throat that was equivalent to a growl.What the hell just happened?“Anika…” I held up my hands in front of my body in a gesture of surrender, trying to show her that I didn’t mean to harm her. And that was a fact; I would never hurt Anika, not intentionally. I know she had mental scars from me rejecting to mate with her, but she wasn’t a wolf…she hadn't been a wolf…“Let her go, Anika.” I told her, keeping my voice low. “I’m the one you want to her, not her. Tiffany didn’t wrong you

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

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,

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
