Chapter 128
Jenna took the tissue from Miles, wiping away her tears as she tried to compose herself. “I hate him for everything he put me through. I thought he cared about me, but he only caused me pain.”
Miles looked at his sister with empathy in his eyes. “I know, Jenna. I’ve seen how much he hurt you. That’s why I can’t stand the thought of you getting hurt again.”
Jenna’s voice trembled as she spoke. “I don’t want him in my life anymore, Miles. I deserve better. I deserve someone who truly loves and respects me.”
Miles nodded, his expression filled with understanding. “You’re absolutely right, Jenna. You deserve someone who appreciates you and treats you the way you deserve to be treated. Axiel doesn’t deserve a second chance.” Miles said. This had been easier than he had thought. He had expected them to wrestle over the matter of Axiel,but surprisingly he didn’t have to do any of that. All he had to do was just back up her declarations.
you Jenna wiped away another tear and took a deep breath. “Thank you, Miles, for looking out for me. I know it’s because yo care about me.” Okay, at this point, Miles wasn’t sure whether she was faking this because she just wanted to get him off her trail or she indeed meant that. It felt confusing. Too good to be true! Was Jenna really over Axiel or was this just a facade? Miles had no idea and he couldn’t even bring the topic up because the atmosphere was so serene. In fact, too serene from what he had expected and what he had prepared himself for. He had prepared himself for a battled conversation and not one of tea parties, or love and k*sses, because this was what their conversation was. They were agreeing too much and that raised some kind of suspicion in Miles.
Miles
gave her a gentle smile. “Of course, Jenna. You’re my sister, and I’ll always be here for you. I just want you to be happy and safe. With that, Miles leaned forward and gave her a warm hug. One that was soothing and for once, everything felt right after a long time. That was the power of a good hug.
Jenna took a deep breath, trying to steady herself before speaking. “Miles, how is Alexia? Have there been any improvements in her condition?” Jenna asked. She had been too engrossed in her own issues that she had failed to consider how her. brothers might have been feeling given the current state of health of their mate; Alexia, who had been poisoned with Wolfsbane by her very own sister. Unbelievable!!
Miles sighed, his face reflecting his concern. “I wish I could say yes, Jenna, but her condition is still critical. The doctors are doing everything they can, but it’s a difficult situation.”
Tears welled up in Jenna’s eyes again, and she clenched her fists. “I can’t believe someone would do this to Alexia, It’s unforgivable. Kayla, her own sister, how could she poison her with Wolfsbane? She should be punished severely for what she’s done.”
Miles nodded, understanding the depth of Jenna’s anger. “I share your frustration, Jenna. What Kayla did is beyond comprehension. She betrayed her own blood, and if she’s responsible for Alexia’s condition, which of course she is, even if she denies this every fu time! She deserves to face the consequences, which she will, after Alexia’s recovered.”
Jenna’s voice quivered with a mixture of anger and sadness. “I know I never really trusted Kayla, Miles. I never even liked her. I had always known that there was something about that girl but I couldn’t quite wrap my finger around it. I thought that even when she didn’t care about Alexia, she would have some amount of sympathy towards her as they’re blood relatives but I guess I was wrong. Kayla is just a heartless b**ch! Nothing more!” Jenna scoffed.
It empathy. “We’ll do everything we can to ensure justice prevails. Alexa is our priority, and we won’t let anyone get away with hurting her.”
Jenna’s
gaze softened, a mix of gratitude and determination shining through. She appreciated Miles‘ unwavering support yand shared commitment to seeking justice for Alexa.
I’m glad you’re on the same page, Jénna replied, her voice filled with a newfound resolve. “We won’t let Kayla’s actions go unpunished. Alexa deserves justice, and we’ll make sure she gets it.”
Chapter 128
As Miles prepared to leave, a mixture of concern and affection painted his features. He turned to Jenna, his eyes filled with a brotherly love that transcended their differences. With a gentle smile, he opened his arms, extending a warm embrace.
Jenna, understanding the unspoken words of love and protection, stepped forward, wrapping her arms tightly around Miles. The embrace offered a momentary respite from the challenges they faced, reminding them of the unbreakable bond they shared as siblings.
“Take good care of yourself, Jenna,” Miles whispered, his voice laced with genuine concern. “Remember, you’re stronger than you think. And please, stay away from Axiel, for your own sake.” He added the last part with a playful tone, attempting to lighten the heaviness of the conversation they just had.
Jenna couldn’t help but chuckle, her tears of sadness momentarily replaced by a glimmer of amusement and humor. She Jooked up at Miles, a mischievous glint in her eyes, and playfully retorted, ‘Oh, don’t worry, Miles. I’ll stay far away from him. The last thing I need is more heartache. She said, hoping that her composed monologue would steer Miles away from her trail
Miles grinned, a sense of relief washing over him as Jenna embraced the lightness of the moment. That’s my girl,” he replied, his voice filled with affectionate pride.
“Remember, you deserve someone who will cherish and respect you. Don’t settle for anything less and most especially don’t settle for Axiel. He added with his tone descending in darkness as he mentioned the word “Axiel.”
