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-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 besi

Zira-“I still 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 his parents

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

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

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

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

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

Zira-After putting on the dress, I felt as if I was a completely different person. It felt as if I found the perfect dress, and I hadn’t even looked in the mirror. I was afraid to look in the mirror, as I didn’t want to get my hopes up, only to have them dashed away by Axton’s dislike.Keeping my chin down, I turned away from the mirror and opened the curtain. Once it was opened, I slowly lifted my chin to gauge Axton’s reaction. Unlike the other times I exited the changing room, Axton was standing up and gawking at me.His lips were parted as if he couldn’t hold his jaw up. His piercing blue eyes glistened with hunger as they roamed over my body. If I didn’t know any better, I would think he was undressing me in his mind. The thought was ridiculous, but it also made my skin crawl with anticipation.Slowly, his mouth closed, and I noticed the way his bulging Adam's apple bobbed up and down subtly, while his jaw muscles tensed. This was the first solid reaction I have received from hi

Zira-I hesitated slightly, but then quickly ran to follow Axton. When I reached the bottom step and I didn’t feel out of breath, I smiled and silently celebrated my small victory. After the first two days when I was allowed to leave my room, I finally managed to get around on my own. I still had to be careful and keep a slow pace, but now I felt almost normal.“Is everything okay?” Axton asked just as he walked toward me with a coat in his hands and my sneakers.“Everything is perfect.” My smile deepened as I took the shoes and sat on the stairs to put them on.When I stood, after putting on my shoes, Axton helped me put on my coat. Shortly after, we left through the door that led to the garage. This was the first time I had seen his cars. I had known he had money, but I never knew the extent of it until now.“Are these all yours?” My eyes widened as I took in all of the cars.I had known that the house I had been living in had a massive garage, but I doubt it was as big as Axton’s.
Her Redemption, His Weakness Chapter 20
Zira-The day before my birthday, I was standing in front of my closet, frustrated beyond belief. For three hours I have been searching for the perfect outfit. Despite all the clothes I now owned, thanks to Axton, nothing seemed acceptable to wear during the supposed birthday party.Shortly after moving in with Axton, he had someone purchase a complete wardrobe for me. I loved everything, but nothing seemed to catch my attention right now. With a sigh, I sat on the pile of clothes I had discarded, on the bed.This was the first time in my life that I had so many beautiful clothes, but I still wasn’t satisfied. The clothes were name brands and I loved them, but tomorrow was going to be the official start of my new life. I didn’t know if I would be able to shift, but that didn’t matter.The only thing that mattered was I was going to let everyone know that I wasn’t going to allow them to treat me the way they have. I would also be publicly announced as Axton’s mate and husband. After di
Her Redemption, His Weakness Chapter 19
Zira-I welcomed the world to swallow me whole and I prayed that it would. Unable to look into Axton’s eyes any longer, I lowered my gaze to the floor. I knew he had found out certain things about these last ten years, but I never expected him to find out anything more.I might not know how much he has found out, but I wasn’t ready for him to talk about it and reopen those wounds. I also didn’t want him to know that despite everything his family did to me, I still hoped they would accept me as part of their family and welcome me into their pack.A sane person would likely run as far away from them as possible. As for me, nope. I had continued to hope. I had even dreamed of becoming Trenton’s mate. There were days I would even look forward to seeing Trenton and his parents, even if I knew that the outcome wouldn’t be good.“I don’t want to know what you found.” I mumbled softly.“Okay, but I do want you to know something.” Axton’s voice was tender and without looking up I knew he had m

Zira-For the following week, I felt like a robot. If I wasn’t sleeping or taking an occasional nap when my energy levels were down, I was studying. Three times a day, Axton would bring a meal for me, and he would force me to stop studying and eat. He wouldn’t leave me alone while I was eating, which kind of freaked me out.It would be different if he had a meal with me instead of watching me eat. Other than those three times, he would come to my room twice a day to give me a bowl of medicine that looked like blood but tasted of herbs. I had asked what it was, but he refused to tell me.He would also watch me drink the medicine and tell me every time that I had to drink it all. When I drank it in the morning, it wasn’t as bad. Before bed, however, was difficult because the taste wasn’t pleasant, and it was twice as much.Axton told me it was to speed up my healing, so I didn’t complain, since after two days of taking it, I did notice I felt much better. Doctor Tessa had even told me t
Her Redemption, His Weakness Chapter 17
Zira-After Axton woke me up with another meal, I felt more energized than I had in a long time. Not because I was woken up with food, which was a plus, but because I was excited to start a new chapter in my life. Considering the conversation I had with Axton, prior to sleep, I also felt more confident.I did feel weird about it because I wasn’t used to someone wanting to take care of me, but I at least had a better mindset now. I also wasn’t as reluctant to accept help. It might be hard for me for a while, but if I wanted to turn my life around, I needed to try.After I finished eating, my mood improved a lot more. Not only did Jeremy come to discuss my future, but the other three tutors arrived as well. Instead of staying in my room with everyone, Axton had carried me down to the living room. I was extremely embarrassed, but it seemed as if I was the only one who noticed or cared.For the following hour, I got to know my tutors on a basic level, while Axton sat beside me and listene

Axton-“My blood isn’t poisonous, but it might be to her.” I said since I didn’t know what kind of effect my blood would have on her, especially with her blood type.“What do you mean?” He asked.“She has a rare blood type.” I admitted and hoped he didn’t become too curious.“Don’t worry, since this won’t be entering her direct bloodline, neither of your blood types would matter.”That did make sense, so I was no longer concerned. “Okay, so what kind of risk are we talking about?”“The amount of blood I would need from you would be a lot. The ratio between blood and medicine is five to one. Since I would be doubling the dosage, I would need a pint of blood each time she takes the medication. She would also need to take the medication twice a day for two weeks, which is twenty-four pints of blood.”I didn’t know much about human anatomy, but I knew that even as werewolves it was similar. “Is that a lot?”“Considering our body on average only has eight to ten pints of blood in our body,
Her Redemption, His Weakness Chapter 15
Axton-It wasn’t just the type that made her blood unique. It was the healing and magical properties the blood had. There were a lot of unknown variables, but I did know that her blood could bring someone from the brink of death. It didn’t work on humans or anyone with that type of blood, but it worked on other supernatural creatures.Regardless of what kind of injury someone had, as long as they get even a drop of blood, they would be instantly healed. I knew that only because when I had been a small child, Zira’s mother had saved me. I had been in a car accident that had claimed my parents’ life and it would have claimed mine if not for the single drop of blood I had received.As for my parents, they had already been dead by the time Zira’s mother arrived. It had also been that day that had allowed me to save my fated mate. When someone receives the Valdez blood, a magical link connects them and the one who had been saved must repay a blood debt.It is both a blessing and a curse to
