Axon's Anguish

A cozy scifi-romance for those who love cuddly books full of earnest love and big plot developments, featuring a spider-shifter alien with sensory issues, and a woman settling into her ace identity. Escape to a world where the impossible becomes possible through patience and understanding, hurt feelings become mended, and big secrets are revealed that might just change everything. Ashley
Finally, I let out a deep sigh of relief. I’ve gotten away from the dekes. I’ve been desperate for some alone time to sort out my thoughts. I’m ace, I can acknowledge that now, but how do I feel about that? And then there’s Axon. He looks at me as if I were a prize to be cherished, but when I accidentally fell on him, he ran away instead of helping me. Is my touch so horrible that he had to run from it?

Just as I start to sort out my feelings, disaster strikes and I’m no longer sure leaving the dekes on my own was a good idea...

Axon
How can I make things up to Ashley? It’s killing me that she won’t even look my way. I deserve her ire, but I want to make things right. I’m so consumed with these thoughts that I completely missed the fact that she left the mountain and the clearing. No one can find her and even my heightened senses can barely pick up her fading scent trail.

Why did she leave? What if she’s hurt or worse? What if the other dekes took her? My blood runs cold at the thought. I have to find her, I have to find her now!

This is NOT a standalone book. It is highly reccommended you read books 1-4 in the series first.
