Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Zira-

A dark and ominous cloud grew thicker in the sky as if it were following me down the vacant street toward the home I had lived in for nearly ten years. Earlier in the day the sky had been shining brightly, but now the weather seemed to match my mood. With each step, the harsh rain pelted against my body, like I was being hit with endless needles.

It didn’t help that I had just had surgery a few hours ago and if I wasn’t careful I could die, but right now, I didn’t care. For ten years I have lived a life worse than death, and every bit of hope that I had clung to, to keep me from falling into a deep despair, had shattered. Not only did I sacrifice my chance at being able to shift into my wolf on my eighteenth birthday, but I learned I have been living a lie.

Ten years ago, my parents and older brother had been killed. I almost died, but I had been saved. I couldn’t remember much of that night, but I remember waking up in a bed with a kid only two years older than me, sitting beside me. I had asked him if he had been the one to save me, which he had claimed he had. An hour ago I discovered that he hadn’t saved me.

During these last ten years, I had believed he had and allowed him and others to walk all over me because I believed I owed him. I was the biggest fool to ever walk this earth. The thought brought on another sob, but at least my tears were washed away by the pouring rain.

My thoughts circled back to what happened this morning, and I felt even worse than I already did. Trenton Heath was the man I believed saved me and this morning, he had been the one I have loved for ten years, despite how poorly he treated me. Every so often he gave me a glimmer of hope and this morning I was willing to do anything for him.

“Please Zira, you are the only one who can save me.” Trenton had said over the phone that morning, as I was preparing to go to one of my many part-time jobs.

“You know I will do anything for you, but I can’t help you if you don’t tell me what is wrong.” I could hear the fear in his voice, so I quickly sent my boss a text, telling him I needed the day off.

All three of my bosses cared for me and knew how hard I worked so they helped me whenever I asked. Now, I wish my boss hadn’t allowed me to take the morning off. Perhaps I could have learned the truth before I helped Trenton.

“As you know, I haven’t been feeling good lately. Last night I went to the hospital, and I found out I need a new kidney. My blood type is rare, and yours is even more rare. I didn’t think we would be a match, but we are. The doctor told me if I don’t get a new kidney within the next few days, I will die.”

Trenton was correct, his blood was rare with less than fifty confirmed people having the blood type. Mine, was even more rare, as I was the only one who had this blood, and no one could understand it. Years ago, I was almost made into a lab rat so they could study my blood, but someone had stopped it before it began. I don’t know who, but I was grateful, nonetheless.

I knew that it was dangerous for me to use my blood or organs for another person because if something ever happened to me, I wouldn’t be able to find a match. That was the first thing that went through my head when I heard Trenton’s condition. I had wanted to say no, and I would help him find someone else, but my hesitation made Trenton panic.

“I don’t want to die!” Trenton sobbed and I immediately caved.

“Okay.” I sighed

Although I have more than paid for him saving my life when I was younger, I still felt as if I owed him a life debt. I took a deep breath and decided this would be the last thing I would sacrifice. His words afterward helped me.

“If you do this for me, I promise I will make you my mate on your eighteenth birthday. That will also be the day I will officially have you accepted into the pack.”

“Don’t worry, I will do it.”

“Also…” Trenton’s voice had trailed off and I didn’t think his request could get much worse.

“As you know, all my funds are tied into the pack and company. The surgery will cost over five hundred thousand.”

My jaw dropped at his words. I have never heard of a kidney transplant costing that much. I intended to investigate it because the amount was insane. When I heard Trenton call my name a few times, I quickly agreed and promised I would come to the hospital as soon as I collected the funds.

After I got off the phone with Trenton, I called the hospital, and they confirmed that the cost of surgery was what Trenton said. The exact amount was a little strange. Last year, Trenton’s uncle gave me four hundred thousand, but I haven’t touched it. I would need to take out a hundred-thousand-dollar loan, but the rest was the exact amount I had in my savings account.

At the time, I didn’t put too much thought into it, because after I went to get a loan, I was called by the doctor, and they told me that Trenton went into shock. With the money in hand and a hefty repayment percentage, I hurried to the hospital.

It had been afternoon by the time I arrived and was rolled into surgery with Trenton so I could give him a kidney. Before surgery, I had tried to find a different donor, because I was told if I went through with the surgery, I might not be able to receive my wolf on my eighteenth birthday. Due to how weak my body would be, my wolf wouldn’t be able to come out and I may never receive my wolf.

While I was hesitating, Trenton kept urging me, and then went into shock. The doctors then told me if I didn’t make a decision now, Trenton would die. As much as I hated to give up my chance of meeting my wolf for the first time, I felt as if I owed Trenton.

So, I went into surgery and let the doctors cut me open. When I woke up after surgery, I was told I would need to leave the hospital unless I could pay to stay at the hospital. Apparently, the funds I had paid were only for Trenton and his hospital stay. Now I also had a hospital bill on top of everything else.

When I left the hospital, I felt as if everything was falling apart, and I didn’t understand what was going on. Despite just having surgery, I called all three of my jobs and they refused to let me come in until I healed. On the plus side, they agreed to give me paid time off, equivalent to full-time hours.

It wouldn’t put a dent in my debt, but at least I would be able to recuperate at home and get supplies from the store. After leaving the hospital, I went to get a chicken and vegetable soup for Trenton. I was told he wasn’t awake from his surgery, but I wanted to get it for him for when he was hungry.

After returning to the hospital, my world shattered when I overheard the conversation coming from inside his hospital room.

“I don’t know if you are a genius or just plain cruel Trent.” Bryce Miller, Trenton’s second best friend, laughed.

“He is a genius.” Glenn Beck, Trenton’s best friend, commented with a hearty chuckle. “I am curious what Zira will do when she learns that her kidney ended up in the trash.”

At first, I wasn’t sure if I was hearing their conversation properly until I leaned against the door and continued listening. No matter how hard I tried to talk myself out of what I was hearing was my head playing tricks on me, reality slowly sank in. The soup I was holding dropped to the ground and a numbing chill fell over me.

“She would probably thank me.” Trenton responded with a firm voice, that definitely wasn’t someone who just woke up from surgery. “Zira is the biggest idiot I know. Regardless of how mean I am to her, she follows me like a lost puppy. If I tell her to go west, she wouldn’t dare go east.”

“Yeah, but you made it so she won’t be able to shift. Plus, you stole all her money. It was one thing to get her to give you the money your uncle gave her, but I heard she also got a loan and emptied her bank account.” Bryce snickered. “Don’t get me wrong, I think this is hilarious, but I do think you might have taken this a little too far.”

“I don’t care. I have no intention of allowing her to become a member of my pack. After ten years, she still can’t figure out that she is nothing but a joke to me.” Trenton scoffed. “If anyone is to blame, she should blame herself for being stupid. She even thinks I was the one who saved her.”

My breath stalled in my chest at his words. If he wasn’t the one who saved me, who was? Also, if he hadn’t saved me, did that mean I have been blindly wasting my life away for someone who didn’t deserve it? He was right about one thing, at this point, I could only blame myself.

Chapter 2
Zira- “I still don't understand how she hasn’t figured it out yet. The only time any of you are nice to her is when your uncle is around.” A heavy pressure spread through my chest, to the point where I felt as if I were suffocating. All this time I thought it was Trenton who saved me, but now I am learning it was his uncle Axton. I have only met Axton maybe once a year since I was eight years old. I didn’t know much about him other than he was ten years older than me, a powerful military commander, and he was friendly, with a nice smile. Aside from that I didn’t know anything about him and couldn’t remember much about him. Around the time Axton would visit, was the only time I was treated like a human and not a slave. I was also allowed to wear expensive clothes and live with Trenton and his family. When Axton was around, I was treated like a princess. In those moments it was a glimpse of hope and the promise of being accepted one day. Every time Axton would arrive, Trenton and hi

Chapter 3
Axton-“Find out what has happened to her.” I told my best friend, Kason Yates, as I carried Zira to the car.“Yes, Sir!” Kason saluted me out of habit before running down the street, ignoring the fact that it was pouring rain.I didn’t care for him or anyone else to treat me like their superior, even if I was. It was one thing for them to do it when we were on duty, but around civilians, I would rather keep a low profile. Not only was I the leader of our team, but as of two years ago, I became the Alpha King.Only those on my team knew I was the Alpha King because I needed to keep a low profile. Not only for mine and my team's sake but for Zira’s. After climbing into the back seat of the Hummer, which my friend Lukas was driving, I cradled Zira on my lap.Despite being unconscious, she was shivering and an intense heat radiated from her body. Aside from that, I could feel an electric current moving from her and through me. It was the same current I felt ten years ago when I saved her

Chapter 4
Axton-“The house you left for her; all of the utilities were cut off. Since she was eight when you left, she wasn’t old enough to work, but she was forced to work by your brother to cover the cost of living in the house. Besides that, she worked odd jobs to earn a few hundred dollars a month to buy food, clothing, and necessities. On average, the cost to turn utilities on in the house she is living in is nearly two thousand dollars.” Kason said as I opened the file and skimmed over the contents, which was basically everything he was telling me.“What about the money I would send every month to cover her living expenses?” I asked.“Your brother gave it to Trenton.” Kason answered before continuing to fill me in on what Zira had been through. “Even the gifts you gave her when you returned every year were confiscated by them or she was scammed out of it. Also, she hasn’t been able to attend school.”I had just flipped to the next page in the file, which was a list of falsified documents

Chapter 5
Axton-“Do you want me to go with you or stay here?” Kason asked as I pushed away from the door and started down the hall.“Stay here and keep me updated. If she wakes before I return, call me. She might freak out since she doesn’t know any of you.” I said without turning around as I descended the stairs.I knew I should change my clothes since I still had Zira’s blood on me, but all I cared about was getting my hands on Trenton. Even my wolf was restless. It was taking a lot of energy to keep him reigned in. If not for my training, I likely would have lost control by now.Reaching my garage, where I had various vehicles parked, I walked toward the Hummer. It wasn’t the fastest vehicle I owned, but it was still running. Lukas likely forgot to turn it off when he returned with the doctor. Getting into the Hummer, I left the house and headed in the direction of the hospital.I was grateful to have friends like Lukas and Kason. We have known each other since our basic training days. We d

Chapter 6
Axton-“How long are you planning to stay?” Trenton asked.Seeing how quickly his mood and expression changed, I wanted to strangle him. If I had known sooner he was capable of acting so well, I would have suggested he became an Actor instead of the Alpha of Shadow Wolf after his parents died. If I didn’t know the truth about what happened to Zira, I likely wouldn’t have thought there was anything wrong.The way he was looking at me now, was like how he had always looked at me. Admiration and innocence glistened in his eyes, with a hint of that Alpha demeanor that all Alphas had. The only difference now was there was something else under the surface in the way he looked at me.It was the kind of look I often saw when facing a threat. Not just any threat. A kind of threat where the person was rotten to the core, but believed they could do no wrong. People like that were known serial killers or morally corrupted. After hearing what Zira has been through, I wasn’t surprised, but I wonder

Chapter 7
Zira-Shrouded in a thick haze, I struggled to open my eyes. Random memories flooded my mind as if I were flipping through a picture book. I remembered everything that happened at the hospital, but I drew a blank after the hospital.When I managed to open my eyes, they were a little fuzzy. Not from just waking up, but from the bright light in the room. I felt as if it was still dark outside, so I didn’t know where the light came from. It felt like I was lying in a large bed, and if I had to guess I was in my room, so where did the light come from?Lifting my hand to block the blinding light, I blinked a few times until my vision cleared and I could see my hand clearly. Tapped on the back of my hand was a needle and an IV line. I didn’t know why, but that wasn’t my concern. Peeking through my fingers I was confused by the light in my room.From as far back as I can remember, I haven’t had electricity. After a few seconds, I started to realize that I wasn’t in my bed, in my room. Loweri

Chapter 8
Eight-year-old Zira-Lighting lit up the sky and howling thunder drowned out my screams. I was terrified and alone. Well, not entirely alone, as bloodied corpses were scattered all around me.I knew I was supposed to stay in the house with the doors and windows locked, but my twelve-year-old brother, Aiden, snuck out. He was supposed to stay in the house with me, but he was worried our parents were in trouble. I tried reminding him he was only twelve, but he was convinced that with our father not home, he was the man of the house.When he left, I debated for far too long if I should follow. Even if I was only eight, I was extremely smart and more mature than most kids my age. I was also obedient to my parents, and they made it perfectly clear I was not to leave the house or let anyone in except for them. However, I now wish I had followed my brother.If I had, I wouldn’t be alone, and I would feel safer as I stepped over the bodies of my pack members and other people I didn't know. I

Chapter 9
Zira-The memory of my past disappeared from my mind, and I was back in the present day. Focusing on Axton, I looked into the familiar eyes of the wolf I had seen when I was eight. Although Axton wasn’t a wolf, his eyes were unmistakably similar.The memory of that night I lost my family has been hidden in the deepest part of my mind. There were many things I hadn’t remembered, but now I can remember everything. Mostly, I could remember the pain I felt when I watched the life slip from my mother’s eyes.I tried to push down the pain of losing my family, reminding myself it had been ten years, and I couldn’t continue dwelling on it. When the loss of my parents no longer affected me, something else occurred to me. What if Aiden was still alive?I never truly confirmed he was dead. The dead boy in my memory could have been Aiden, but I no longer knew for sure. The scent I caught of Aiden’s had been strong, but not as strong as it should have, with how much the boy had been bleeding. Plus

Chapter 10
Zira-“There is nothing wrong with it.” Axton shrugged nonchalantly. “Unless you have a problem with my age?” Axton’s eyebrows quirked momentarily before he quickly dropped every emotion from his face and now appeared to be bored with the conversation. “I might be an issue if I mention it now, but I don’t plan to mention it until you turn eighteen.”“I don’t care about your age, but I still don’t think we should become mates. I am not ready and I won’t be even when I turn eighteen. You can’t just throw that at me and expect me to accept it.” My eyes fell to my hands, which still had his hand resting on one of them.Pulling my hands away from him, I tucked them between my stomach and thighs, while pulling my heels closer to my butt. Lifting my eyes back to him, I saw he was staring at me with a blank expression. He blinked his eyes a few times but didn’t say anything for a long time.“It will be fake.” Axton leaned back and sighed as if my reaction had disappointed him. “If it makes yo
