Her Redemption, His Weakness Chapter 23
Zira-The following day, I stood outside of the grand banquet hall on the top floor of the most luxurious hotel in the area. I had never been inside of the hotel until today, but I have heard that only wealthy people were allowed to stay. Each room was at least ten thousand dollars a night.Although Trenton had given Axton an invitation to attend the party, to give to me, I had still nearly been kicked out. I was sure it would have been a lot easier with or without the invitation if Axton had come with me, but he claimed he had something to handle before coming to the party. The only way I was able to get in, was because Axton called the hotel after I had texted him to let him know they weren’t letting me in.I could have had them verify it with Trenton, but I wasn’t interested in having him help anything, especially since I know what he intends to do. I had felt confident I could handle attending the party alone, at least for a bit, but now I wasn’t entirely sure.Standing outside of

Zira-“What do you want?” I asked Trenton, who had taken another slow and meaningful step toward me.“To make you understand that you are nothing more than a stray dog, who needs to learn never to bite their owner, and to leave when you aren’t wanted.” Trenton spoke through clenched teeth, and a slight growl echoed around the room.I knew I shouldn’t argue with him, especially when cornered, but even a weak animal will become dangerous when cornered. My purpose now wasn’t to fight though, I simply wanted to hear it directly from his mouth that he had been tricking me. I wanted any pretense between us to be completely shattered.“Was there ever a moment that you sincerely thought of me as a family member or even a friend?” I asked.Trenton didn’t respond, he just laughed as if I had told him a funny joke. Although he didn’t say anything, his response was obvious he never treated me with an ounce of sincerity. I knew that was the case, but it still hurt.“Why didn’t you just kick me out

Zira-“That is cute, you seriously think that you will be able to survive? As long as you stay in this area, you will be suppressed by me and my pack. Even if you leave, I have ways of making sure you never see the light of day.” Trenton looped his arm over Allie’s shoulders and then whispered something in her ear, which caused her to giggle.“If you get on your knees and beg, maybe I will consider allowing my mate to keep you around as a sex slave.” Allie snuggled against Trenton. “As long as Trenton wants it, I will let him have fun with you.”“You two are disgusting.” I cringed at the thought of being intimate with Trenton.“When you thought I would take you as my mate, you were willing to do anything for me. You even gave me your kidney with just a little bit of sweet talk.” Trenton laughed.“Yeah.” Glenn and Bryce echoed. “Maybe we can all have a turn with her?” Glenn directed his question at Trenton.“Sure. You know I will share almost everything with you.” Trenton chuckled and

Zira-“My aunt?” The distraught look on Trenton’s face was priceless.If Axton had arrived at the party when I did, I doubt Trenton’s reaction would have been this satisfying. It almost made the two slaps I received worth it. The best part was that it looked as if Trenton didn’t know whether he wanted to laugh or cry right now.“That is correct.” Axton said as a slow and wicked smile spread across his face. “Now, how about you apologize to your aunt and give her a proper greeting?”Trenton’s expression changed from skepticism to absolute terror as he looked between me and his uncle, repetitively. Others in the room also seemed too shocked for words. Everyone was practically frozen in place, with their mouths hanging open, except for Allie. She was still glaring at me, but I was at a loss about what her problem with me was. It seemed a little too personal.“You’re joking right?” Trenton’s gaze kept shifting between me and Axton.“Does it look like I am joking?” Axton cocked his brow an

Zira-“You are right. What did you have in mind?” Axton quirked his brows as he twisted his torso to turn toward me.“Allie.” I kept my smile as I returned my attention to Trenton’s mate. “Why don’t you come forward and recognize us as your aunt and uncle, so you can receive a gift as well?”Allie doesn’t budge. She stood with her eyes burning with unmasked rage, and her jaw ticking as she continuously ground her teeth together. I could only imagine she was thinking up a hundred and one ways on how to kill me. Yet, she as well as everyone else in the room, knew Axton wasn’t to be trifled with.Although I hadn’t been around Axton much growing up, I knew that there wasn’t a single person who would openly oppose him. I didn’t know if Allie would, but when I glanced at Trenton, I saw he was glaring at her as if inaudibly ordering her to obey. I knew it wasn’t me Trenton feared, it was his uncle, but I had no apprehensions about using Axton’s presence as leverage to obtain the results I de

Axton-Watching her twirling around as if she didn’t have a care in the world, I couldn’t have been prouder. Over these past two weeks, I have watched her teeter on the edge of sanity until she broke free of the shackles of her past. I could still see a bit of darkness in her almond-shaped, stormy grey eyes, but for the most part, they were full of wonder and innocence.When I arrived at the party and saw her in a compromised position, I thought she would regress into the fearful girl she had been when I found her in the rain. To my surprise, she surpassed my expectations and even showed me that she was cunning. Although she hadn’t made Trenton kneel to her directly, I never would have expected she would make his mate kneel.Smiling at Zira, I tried to focus solely on her, but at the thought of Trenton’s mate, something didn’t sit well with me. Turning to Lukas, who had followed us out, I saw he was smiling at my girl. My smile faded and I narrowed my eyes at him.Lukas seemed to noti

Axton-After arriving at the mall, I led Zira inside. The moment we were inside, she was like an eager child as she grabbed my hand and began pulling me behind her. Even with my long legs, it was difficult to keep up with her, unless I was jogging. I didn’t mind, until almost fell from running in high heels.To prevent her from falling, I scooped her up in my arms and carried her to the nearest mall bench. “Stay here, I will be right back.”Without waiting for her response, I rushed off to the nearest shoe store. It didn’t take long for me to find something that would allow her to walk and run freely, without hurting her feet. I ended up choosing a pair of white flats, with a silver logo design on the side. They were simple but cute.On my way back, I stopped when I spotted something in the window of another shop. Going into the store, I purchased the item, but then tucked it inside my suit jacket, so I could surprise Zira with it. When I returned to where I left Zira, I had to force

Axton-“Do you mind waiting by the entrance while I grab something?” I asked when we reached the ground floor of the mall.“Sure.” Zira shrugged and took the bag with her shoes, that I had placed with security while we were playing.I waited until she was far enough away, before slipping inside the bakery we had stopped in front of. While we had been in the arcade, I had placed an order and told them I would pick it up before leaving. Walking to the counter, I was immediately greeted by the cashier, who seemed to know who I was without me saying anything because she placed it on the counter.“Have a good day. Thank you for coming.” She said and I didn’t know if she was greeting me or dismissing me.Taking the cake from the counter, I exited the baker with nothing more than a nod of approval. Before Zira could see me, I placed the cake behind my back and tried not to give away my surprise. When I stopped beside her, she didn’t seem to notice I was hiding anything.“Instead of heading h

Zira-Moving to sit at the dining area, I sat on the stool closest to Axton so I could get a better view of what he was doing. While he grilled, I asked a few questions, which he answered with ease. He also explained cooking and the differences between that and grilling.When he finished cooking, we sat beside each other and ate. Our conversation was light and completely random. We moved from topic to topic flawlessly while backtracking to return to another topic.It was the most peaceful meal I have ever had. The food was great, but the company was even better. It also helped that I stopped worrying about what may or may not happen between us. Just being able to be in the moment was like a breath of fresh air.“Are you still hungry?” Axton asked when we finished what was on our plates.“No, I am stuffed.” I leaned back on the stool and placed my hands on my stomach. “I think I might have overeaten.” I giggled softly.“Well, you know the best thing to do after eating a lot?” Axton too

Zira-“There are seasons in that cabinet.” Axton motioned toward the cabinet under the counter, to the grill's right.The outdoor kitchen patio was a bit of modern design mixed with rustic charm. Sleek stainless steel appliances gleam against countertops with rugged natural stone. There was also a reclaimed wood island, anchored to the space, but giving ample room to maneuver. Its weathered texture added a hint of history.Overhead was a pergola, which cast slight shadows over the patio. It didn’t cover the entire area, but its natural wood matched the wood patio, and stones in different shades, making up the pillars. It only covered half of the kitchen area, leaving an open sky to be able to enjoy the stars at night or the warmth of the sun during the day.Dangling from the pergola were many fairy lights, which I imagine would give this space a different feeling when the sun dipped below the horizon, and the stars came out. To top everything off, there was a hint of florals, which wa

Zira-My sense of sight, with the way he focused intently as he gently massaged my sides and stomach. His brow furrowed deeply, with eyes narrowed in concentration. His body was slightly tense, with his movements deliberate and precise. He seemed completely oblivious to everything around him and absorbed in his task.My sense of touch, with the gentle caress of his hands sending waves of pleasure through me, almost causing me to tremble under his touch. The warmth of his hands, and how I imagined what his hands would feel like on other parts of my body.My sense of smell, with the hint of cedar and pine scent on him. It wasn’t overpowering, but the aroma evoked a sense of ruggedness and the outdoors, which made me wonder if he had gone for a run with his wolf when I was at school. There was a slightly smoky and resinous quality, suggesting an earthly presence.My sense of hearing, by the way his breath was deep and steady. It was almost imperceptible. A quiet rhythm, with his intense

Zira-“So, how is she?” Axton asked an hour later, after Tessa stepped away, having completed my examination.“Well, she doesn’t have any broken bones, but she does have some severe bruising and muscle tension.” Tessa stripped the medical gloves off her hands and tossed them into the trash. “I have some ointment and medication that can help with that.”“I didn’t break a rib?” I asked, as I gently placed my hand where my ribs hurt.“My portable x-ray showed no fractures or breaks, but if you would feel better with complete imaging, I can take you to the hospital.” Tessa continued to put away her medical supplies while setting an unmarked pill bottle and tube on the bedside table. “I did notice that the muscles around your ribs are cramped and bruised, which is likely what is causing you pain.”“No, I trust you.” I pressed my fingers against my ribs and did feel like there was a knot there. “I just wanted to be sure.” I removed my hand from my side rib cage and placed it on my lap.“You

Zira-“Okay, well, you can either take the rest of the day off or head to class. I am going to take Zira home. Would you mind informing Jeremy?” Axton said as he scooped me in his arms, cradling me against his chest.“No problem!” Sammy moved toward the door. “I am going to head to class so I can keep up with Zira. I want both of us to get into the Academy together.” Sammy then rushed from the room, while waving her hand over her head.“Let’s go home.” Axton spoke as he carried me out of the office.Normally, I wouldn’t mind if he carried me like this, but as we entered the hall, I quickly hid my face in his shoulder. Students were present in the hall, and it was imperative that I remain inconspicuous when Axton assumed the role of the new principal. I wasn’t looking forward to them knowing that Axton was married to a student. That just sounded completely inappropriate and ridiculous.“What’s wrong?” Axton asked as if he were completely oblivious to the obvious stares as we walked pas
Her Redemption, His Weakness Chapter 58
Zira-My eyes turned to Allie, who was now huddled in the corner of the office, with fear glistening in her green eyes. I was curious why she seemed to fear Axton, but one glance at Axton spoke volumes. He stood with his body tense, but ready to strike, with eyes that burned with an intensity, almost like an uncontrolled fire, ready to burn everything in its path.The air around him was thick, and that familiar feeling of rage moved through him, around him, and then through me. Tension radiated from his clenched jaw and fisted hands, with white knuckles. Axton’s gaze was locked on Allie, without the slightest waver. Only the slightest trembling moving down his body betrayed his unmasked fury.I felt this unconscious instinct to step retreat, but instead I stayed firmly by his side. I felt as if something was gathering inside of him, like a storm, or a dam that was about to burst and unleash something that would rattle the entire world. For the first time, I saw the true presence of hi

Zira-I don’t know why I didn’t sense him prior to his arrival, but I was happy to see him. Perhaps it was because of the level of drama or the fact that I was in a lot of pain. Thinking of my pain, I dipped my chin to hopefully hide my injuries. I didn’t know how extensive they were, but if Jeremy could notice the moment he saw me, Axton would too.“Axton Heath!” The principal shouted as he rushed toward Axton. “What brings you here? Are you here for Allie? She mentioned that Trenton would be picking her up, but if he is busy, I guess he would ask his uncle. Why don’t you take a seat? Do you want something to drink? I hope you don’t mind, but we are still dealing with an issue, but I promise I will make it quick.”I didn’t see Axton’s expression, but I heard Jeremy scoff and mutter under his breath. “Idiot.”“Oh? What is the problem?” The sarcasm was thick in Axton’s voice, and it took me a lot of effort not to look up at him.“A student injured your nephew’s girlfriend, and it refus

Zira-When the principal hung up the phone, he turned his attention to me and the others. “Now that is settled, I want everyone to tell me what happened and why you were fighting in the cafeteria.”Sammy, Leo, and Linda all started talking at the same time. I stayed quiet because I didn’t see the point in explaining anything. It was clear the principal had something against me. Also, based on his reaction to Leo and Sammy, I doubted he would believe anything I said.He did seem to sympathize with Allie, as he brought a chair for her to sit on. I was the one with blood dripping from my mouth and struggling to stand, but he didn’t care. If not for Sammy, I don’t know how I would manage to keep upright.“How are you feeling?” The principal asked Allie. “Do I need to call the school nurse?”“No, I am fine.” Allie smiled sweetly at the principal, and it kind of looked as if she was flirting with him. “Trenton will pick me up in a bit to take me to the hospital.”“That’s good.” The principa

Zira-I tried to rack my brain for how to defuse the situation, but nothing came to mind. Everyone was either insulting me or insulting the alternative students in general. Some even continued to make insults about Axton. That was my biggest issue, but I felt as if this was getting out of hand.“Linda, it is fine. Just help me up.” Allie told the girl.Linda stopped worrying about Sammy and gave her attention to Allie. She attempted to help Allie to her feet, along with another female student. With two people to help her, she almost got to her feet but then dropped to the ground again.“You need to apologize!” Linda redirected her attention to me while the other girl comforted Allie.“I won’t apologize for something I didn’t do.” I shrugged and wondered why no one could see how fake Allie’s tears were now.The tears Allie had shed earlier had dried up, but her sobs were louder and more realistic, except for the absence of tears. My focus was on Allie, so when Linda pushed me, I didn’t
