Lahat ng Kabanata ng Her Redemption, His Weakness: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Axton-“Zira? Talk to me.” I kept my voice soft, but I didn’t nudge her again.She still didn’t respond, and it caused me distress. I wasn’t sure what to do. If she kept shutting me out like this, I had a feeling I was going to freak the fuck out. It was one thing for her to verbally refuse to tell me what was on her mind, but the cold shoulder was another matter entirely.Looking at the jade pendant again, I wondered if she was thinking about her mother. I had known she never took it off, at least not until she moved it to her wrist and wore the necklace I bought her, around her neck. I made a mental note to try to get the pendant from her so I could replace the rope with a white gold chain.Since it was evidently important to her, I wanted her to be able to continue wearing it regardless of whether she wore casual or formal clothing. I still wanted her to keep the necklace I gave her because it wasn’t just any ordinary necklace. I had purchased it before returning home two weeks ago

Zira-“I first connected with you when you woke up this morning and knew something was off and felt the mate pull, but didn’t know where it was coming from, so I just observed. Since Axton didn’t interact with you until later, I thought I had been mistaken. When he arrived at the party, the first moment you laid eyes on him, I had sensed it. I know you felt something too, but probably didn’t know what it was.” Asta responded.“You are telling me I need to be careful with our mate?” I asked as I tried to wrap my head around the fact Axton was my mate. My mate!“I know it must seem ridiculous, but he is your biggest threat.”“How?”“Axton’s wolf is too powerful for you to manage in your current state. You can’t let him mark you and complete the mate bond. Until you can shift, or we find a way to strengthen our bond, you will likely die if you let him.”“Why only until after I am able to shift, or our bond becomes stronger? If I can’t handle his wolf, won’t I still have a chance of dying

Zira-“No.” Axton chuckled as he should his head. “Don’t believe everything you read in books. Silver isn’t going to kill us. If we get shot by a silver bullet, it could potentially kill us, but so can a regular bullet.”That made me think about the other deadly thing I heard and wondered if it was real. “What about wolfsbane? Is that deadly to our kind or is it a myth?”“Where did you hear that? Or is it something you read in a book?”“I overheard Trenton mention it.”“You shouldn’t believe anything you hear coming out of his mouth.” Axton chuckled again. “Wolfsbane is technically a myth, at least in the sense you heard.” He picked up his water glass and took another drink before continuing. “In fact, the plant that is known as wolfsbane is poisonous to everyone, including humans. The plant has been known throughout history to be used as a poison for various situations.”“Then why does it have a popular connection with werewolves?”“Because people have a strange imagination. They mad

Zira-Feeling embarrassed for being caught, I dropped my gaze to the ground, while clasping my hands and rubbing them together nervously. Slowly making my way toward Axton, watching my feet move one foot in front of the other, I racked my mind on how to explain what I was doing. When I stopped beside his bed, I suddenly remembered I wasn’t the one who should be nervous.Axton was the one who lied and hid that he was sick from me. Lifting my gaze to look at Axton, I saw he had fallen back asleep, with tension written across his forehead. Instead of being upset with him for hiding from me, I lowered to the bed and sat beside him. Placing my hand on his forehead, my heart twisted at feeling how hot he was.Pulling my hand back, I slunk off the bed and into the bathroom, where I retrieved a clean towel and soaked it with cold water. After ringing out the excess water, I returned to his side. Before placing the now folded wet cloth on his forehead, I massaged my thumb against the stress li

Axton-“I wanted to celebrate your birthday. I had been looking forward to it for months. Also, if I hadn’t shown up to that party, I might have killed Trenton if I heard he laid his hands on you.”For 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 wouldn’t let the chance slip me by. I knew I was likely the only one who had an issue with the age gap, but I couldn’t 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
