Her Redemption, His Weakness Chapter 66
Zira-“It’s nothing.” Ruby muttered as she busied herself around my room, although everything was already laid out the night before and didn’t need to be cleaned.“You always told me that if I ever needed to talk to you about anything, I could. Now, I am throwing your words back at you. What is wrong?” I asked again, as I placed my hands on her shoulders and guided her to sit on my bed.Ruby didn’t resist, but she didn’t seem like she wanted to talk either. Sitting beside her on the bed, I waited patiently for her to talk to me about what was bothering her. Seconds turned to minutes when she finally let out a long sigh, and her shoulders slumped forward.“Actually, there are two things.” Ruby admitted, but kept her gaze drawn to the floor.“What?” I urged her to continue.“Well, when Lukas came to talk to Axton last night, he brought someone with him…” Ruby’s voice trailed off, and that was when she lifted her gaze to meet mine.“And?” My brows pulled together.“And I didn’t think it

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 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

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-I wouldn’t mind his help, but I think I have reached my limit on how much intimacy I could handle with him for the day. If Ruby were still here, I could ask her to help me after I finish my bath. The look on Axton’s face made me think he was feeling a little guilty, too. I didn’t want him to think I couldn’t handle training this soon after getting injured. I was determined to see it through.“At least let me help you upstairs.” Axton said, but before I could refuse, he lifted me in his arms and carried me inside.When we reached my room, Ruby was inside, preparing my clothes for tomorrow. After the hectic morning I had on Monday morning, she took it upon herself to help me set everything out so I could easily find it. I didn’t need her to do it since that morning I had just been nervous, but I couldn’t deny that it had helped a lot this morning. I hated that I was having her work more, but I guess it was better than trashing my room to find something, and her having to clean up

Zira-“Let’s begin with the placement of your feet.” Axton spoke as he moved behind me.I thought this would be less intimate than the stretching, but no. His hands moved to my hips, sending a shiver down my spine. Luckily, I didn’t react; otherwise, he might have noticed what his touch did to me.“Place your feet shoulder-width apart.” Axton instructed, lightly kicking the inside of my foot, as I widened my stance. “You’ll need to be rooted to the ground, but light enough to move if needed.” His hands stayed on my hips.“Like this?” I asked, but I couldn’t help but notice the dry sound of my voice and how my mouth felt a little tacky, like I needed a drink of water.“Yes.” His fingers became firmer on my hips, digging in slightly, but not painfully. “This is your foundation.” Axton then moved one hand away from my hip, only to tap the back of my thigh. “Adjust this leg forward a little and bend your knees slightly.”“Like this?” I asked, but I was struggling to concentrate with the f

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
