Her Redemption, His Weaknessย ย ย Chapter 39
Axton-โI wanted to celebrate your birthday. I had been looking forward to it for months. Also, if I hadnโt shown up to that party, I might have killed Trenton if I heard he laid his hands on you.โFor months before her eighteenth birthday, I had dreamed up various scenarios of her learning that I was her mate. If not for the age difference between us, I would be ecstatic to be her mate and wouldnโt let the chance slip me by. I knew I was likely the only one who had an issue with the age gap, but I couldnโt look past it. Especially after learning some of the things she experienced in my absence. Zira is just so innocent and young, and she hasn't even begun to live her life. The last thing I wanted was to tie her down to a mate bond or a relationship. If she were with me, she would have certain obligations as my Queen and the Queen of werewolves.During these last two weeks, I have seen the kind of person she is. Zira has some healing to do as she is still broken inside, but her inner

Zira-โWhere are we going?โ I asked for probably the tenth time since we left the house.โYouโll know when we get there.โ Axton responded with the same words that he had spoken every time I asked.Sighing, I slouched in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce. It wasnโt that I needed to know where we were going, but I was concerned whether Axton could handle it. He had still been weak a few hours ago. Now, he looked like he usually did, but he had hidden his deteriorated health from me before, so for all I knew, he was hiding it again.Glancing out the window, I chewed on my lower lip and wished I had at least put on something a little more formal. Axton was dressed in an expensive suit and looked as if he had walked off the front cover of a men's formal wear magazine. Whereas I was wearing a pair of blue jeans, a purple and black blouse, and my hair was pulled back in a loose ponytail.I thought I should change into something else when I exited my room, but Axton didnโt give me a chance.

Zira-โWhat else did you need to do?โ I asked Axton, taking my eyes from the certificate.Axton was also looking at his certificate, with a wide grin on his face. His blue eyes twinkled with something I couldnโt quite explain, but it almost seemed a little like excitement or something similar. When Axton turned his attention to me, the smile faded, and the twinkle in his eyes was no longer present.โIt is already done.โ Axton said as he grabbed the certificate from my hands. โI will hold onto this. That way it wonโt get lost. Because losing it would make it difficult to get divorced later.โThe thought of getting a divorce made me feel sick to my stomach. Now I needed to find a way to get Axton not to want to divorce me later. I was tempted to take both certificates and hide them for that purpose. Yet, compared to Axton, I was nothing more than a naive teenager.Even if I didnโt want a divorce, I couldnโt force him to stay married. But I could drag it out long enough and work harder,

Zira-The rest of the week went pretty fast; before I knew it, it was Monday. After returning home the day we received our marriage license, Axton and I didnโt see much of each other. Axton had a lot of things to deal with after being laid up in bed for a few days. Kason and Lukas ended up taking most of Axtonโs time. I also focused on the stuff Jeremy needed from me before starting school.When it was time for me to get ready for school, I became a nervous wreck, and it was like I lost my head. I couldnโt do anything right, and I couldnโt find anything. I always thought of myself as an organized person, but not today.โWhere are my new uniforms?โ I yelled after sticking my head out of my door and into the hall.โThey are in your closet!โ Ruby yelled as she was rushing up the stairs.โI looked, but they arenโt there.โ I ducked my head back into my room to continue destroying it to search.โI just saw them there yesterday.โ Ruby entered my room, looking as pristine as ever, in her blac

Zira-โDo you want to leave that behind, so I can work on it?โ Axton nodded toward the jade; I had strung around my wrist.I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I wanted to leave it, but Axton quickly spoke again. โI can deliver it to you at school.โI still hesitated as I looked down at my wrist. I guess if there was anyone I could trust, it was Axton. Besides, it might be better to have it turned into a bracelet, because the necklace string was a little loose. The last thing I wanted was for it to fall off at school, and then I would lose it.โOkay.โ I nodded as I unraveled the string and handed it to him.After he took it, he shoved it into the front pocket of his blue jeans. โThen are you ready?โโI am!โ I jumped up from my seat and nearly knocked the chair over before bolting out the door to the garage.I heard Axton chuckle about something, but I was too excited to care. Looking at the various cars in the garage, I wondered which one he was planning to drive. Nearly jumping out of

Zira-โAlright, everyone, letโs take our seats and settle down.โ Jeremy told the class as soon as he entered, with me following behind him.โWhoโs the chick?โ The only boy in the classroom asked as they all sat at their desks.โThis is Zira Valdez. She will be joining us for a bit.โ Jeremy announced as he ushered me to the front of the class, in front of the chalkboard.โWell, hello Zira, my name is Leon, but everyone calls me Leo.โ Leo leaned over to the empty seat next to him. โYou can sit next to me. I can show you everything you need to know.โ Leo flashed a charming smile, which didnโt give me the same rush of excitement that Axtonโs smile gave me.โI donโt think so, you would drag her down.โ Jeremy chuckled.Leo threw his arms across his chest and slouched in his chair, as if he were a two-year-old, pouting. It didnโt last for long, though, as he relaxed again and laughed. A few other students commented that they were surprised Leo managed to stay in their class. I thought it was

Zira-โNo, he doesnโt leave, except one time. He locks himself in his room and only allows our parents to enter. I donโt know what they say or do when they go in, and they wonโt tell me. On the occasions he comes out of his room, he wonโt even look anyone in the eye. But I donโt mind. Whatever he went through before coming to live with us must have been tragic.โ Sammyโs expression fell, and a wave a sadness moved across her face.The more Sammy talked about her brother, the less I could shake the feeling that he could be my brother. I knew it was crazy, but what if? I needed to learn more before I let my thoughts run wild.โHow do your parents feel about him being difficult to handle?โ I asked, but then realized that it must have sounded rude. โIt does sound like it is difficult to live with someone who refuses to talk to come out of his room.โโThey donโt mind. They love my brother, and so do I. I know it might seem weird, but despite the way he is, he is also very protective. I reme

Zira-Jasmine dragged me from store to store at the mall as if I were luggage. I didnโt want to buy anything, but Jasmine wouldnโt let me leave the store without getting at least one item. Jasmine repeatedly explained how she wanted me to experience the life of a teenage girl with plenty of money to burn.Although I had the card Axton gave me, I used the money I had in my account. My money was for school, but so far, I havenโt needed to use any of it. I also wasnโt fully comfortable with using Axtonโs money. So, every store we went to, I did purchase a few expensive items, but nothing that was going to put much of a dent in the ten million that I had.โIsnโt this fun?โ Jasmine asked as she handed a few bags to one of the two men who were following us.โI guess.โ I shrugged as I also handed my purchase to the other man. โIs this necessary, though?โ I asked as I nodded toward the two men.โWith how much shopping I want to do, it is very necessary.

Zira-I donโt know why I didnโt 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 didnโt know how extensive they were, but if Jeremy could notice the moment he saw me, Axton would too.โAxton Heath!โ The principal shouted as he rushed toward Axton. โWhat 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 donโt you take a seat? Do you want something to drink? I hope you donโt mind, but we are still dealing with an issue, but I promise I will make it quick.โI didnโt see Axtonโs expression, but I heard Jeremy scoff and mutter under his breath. โIdiot.โโOh? What is the problem?โ The sarcasm was thick in Axtonโs voice, and it took me a lot of effort not to look up at him.โA student injured your nephewโs girlfriend, and it refus

Zira-When the principal hung up the phone, he turned his attention to me and the others. โNow that is settled, I want everyone to tell me what happened and why you were fighting in the cafeteria.โSammy, Leo, and Linda all started talking at the same time. I stayed quiet because I didnโt 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 didnโt care. If not for Sammy, I donโt know how I would manage to keep upright.โHow are you feeling?โ The principal asked Allie. โDo I need to call the school nurse?โโNo, I am fine.โ Allie smiled sweetly at the principal, and it kind of looked as if she was flirting with him. โTrenton will pick me up in a bit to take me to the hospital.โโThatโs good.โ 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.โLinda, it is fine. Just help me up.โ 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.โYou need to apologize!โ Linda redirected her attention to me while the other girl comforted Allie.โI wonโt apologize for something I didnโt do.โ I shrugged and wondered why no one could see how fake Allieโs 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 didnโt

Zira-โZira, I didnโt know you started at Acadia. How have you been? I havenโt seen you since your birthday.โ Allie moved toward me, with his voice coming out as a sweet melody.I was bewildered by the sudden change for a moment, and I even thought she was genuine. The way she smiled, spoke, and even wrapped her arms around me when she stopped in front of me almost made me believe she was truly happy to see me. I didnโt return her hug but just stood there in shock.โIt is so good to see you.โ Allie spoke loud enough for almost everyone in the cafeteria to hear.Murmurs moved through the rooms in waves, with some commenting on how Allie was hugging an Alt kid. Some admired Allieโs sweetness and how she was the best person at the school. A few also commented that they didnโt know why Allie was treating me like this, considering everything I did.I donโt know what I did, but I had a feeling that Allie might have spread a few rumors about me. Since I didnโt know what was going on and I wa

Zira-The following day, I felt as if I was dragging my feet. I spent most of the night trying to figure out the moonstone, but I didnโt get anywhere with it. I even attempted to have Asta come out and see if I could shift, but no, it didnโt work.The only thing I could figure out was that I could sense Axton wherever he was. Even now, while at school, I could sense Axton at home. I could also sense when he was near and able to get an idea of the distance or even the location, as long as I had been to the location before. I only figured that out because after Axton dropped me off at school, he had stopped at the mall, which I had sensed.It was a little weird, but cool as well. Aside from that, I could sense his emotions to a certain extent. Either his emotions were too complicated, or I could only get a glimpse of what he was feeling. I didnโt know what other connection I would have with Axton, but I felt closer to him now, with the ring.Axton wasnโt the only thing the moonstone aff

Zira-โIโm listening.โ I encouraged as I took a sip of my sparkling grape juice.โWhen I was younger, I was in a car accident with my parents. It was your mother who saved me, but she didnโt get there in time to save my parents. Her blood brought me from the brink of death, and all it took was a small drop. She had told me what her blood meant when she gave it to me, but I didnโt remember until the day that I felt her calling for help.โโWhat did it mean for her to give you her blood?โ I leaned forward, placing my glass down, as I became intrigued with the story.โI donโt know all the details, but her blood healed me. Afterward, I owed her a blood debt that would connect me to her until the day I repaid it.โ Axton continued.Without realizing I had done it, I wrapped my hand over my jade and nearly jumped when I heard Astaโs voice. โThis sounds familiar.โAlthough I focused on Axton as he spoke of the bittersweet memories of the accident, I focused on Asta as well. I started to notice

Zira-โWhat is all this?โ I asked as I entered the room further.โI thought we could celebrate.โ Axton moved to pull a chair out and motioned with his hand for me to sit down. โI want you to have the full experience of being married, and today certainly calls for a celebration.โ Axton held up his hand, with only the finger that had his ring extended.Sitting in the chair, I smiled faintly from the mixed feelings I was getting from him. Not based on his expression, but I literally felt them. I didnโt understand why I was feeling them until I looked at the ring on my hand, which seemed to be a little brighter than before.โHave you felt anything strange since I put the ring on you?โ I asked Axton as he took the seat opposite me.โI wouldnโt say I felt anything strange or out of the ordinary, why should I?โ Axton frowned as he looked at his hand.I thought about telling him what I felt, but I didnโt fully understand it yet. Aside from that, I didnโt want him to think I could essentially

Zira-โThat was so awesome!โ Jasmine screamed with excitement, completely oblivious to the numerous heads turned in our direction.โI just donโt like it when others treat people like that.โ I patted her back, although I felt uncomfortable as she invaded my space.โWell, I think that was absolutely amazing. Do you think they will follow through and leave the school?โ Jasmine pulled back, and I caught a glimmer of hope in her eyes.โIf she doesnโt, I will make sure she does.โ Axton commented as he pulled me to his side and tucked me under his arm.โHow will you do that?โ Jasmine looked up at Axton, and I didnโt like the admiration I saw in her eyes.โDonโt worry about that. Just know that the moment she messed with Zira, I already planned to make it difficult for her to stay.โ Axtonโs grip on me tightened, giving me a sense of reassurance.โWe should probably head home.โ I told Jasmine, when she continued to look at him the way she was.โOkay. Well, I need to head home anyway. This turn

Zira-Feeling more confident, I returned my attention to Alex. โI would like to buy them. There is no need to take them out for me to look at them. I am already sure I want to buy them.โโWell, would you at least want to try the ring on? If it doesnโt fit, I can make an adjustment.โ Alex said as he opened the case and pulled the box the rings were in, out of the case.โNo.โ I shook my head. โThese will be wedding rings for me and my husband. So, he might be wanting to put the ring on me himself. Since he will need to try it on as well, if they donโt fit, I can bring them in to have them resized.โ It suddenly occurred to me they might not give that service, but before I could double-check, Alex grinned and spoke.โNot a problem.โ He held the rings carefully in his hands, as if they were precious. Granted, they were, but I didnโt think the rings had the same meaning to him as they did to me.โWe can try them on now.โ Axtonโs voice rang out.Although I knew he was in the store, his voice
