Alexia Eden (FairyTales Don't Exist) (15 page)

“Gee thanks Ron, did you forget what happened with Bimbo Barbie?” Ronny giggles at my attempt to lighten the mood and wipes her tears away.

“Yeah yeah I know, okay I need some fresh air I can’t stand to see all those bruises on you, you are fine with Jax right?” she tilts her head in Jax’s direction as he leans in the doorway, I nod and smile at her as she leaves and closes the door behind her.

I hold my breath as I move my body back into the middle of the tub. “You know you don’t have to hide your pain from Ronny she can sense it, we all can.” Jax says.

“What do you mean?”

“I just mean that… we can see it in your facial expression that you’re in pain.”  He bends down with his arms leaning on the baths ridge.

“Here, I found some pain medicine in your kitchen, take these.”

I open my mouth so he can put the pills in my mouth since my hands are wet then he gives me water to take with it. He puts the glass on the sink and kneels down on the floor next to where I am, he takes the sponge from my other hand and gently starts to rub my back. He is so gentle and soft, I love this side of him. We sit there in a comfortable silence. Jax doesn’t ask me any questions about my bruises, I’m guessing he thinks it’s from my “new friend” or he’s just giving me time to tell him when I’m ready.

“Ready to get out of the bath?” I nod

“It’s okay you don’t have to call Ron to help me, just hold the towel up and close your eyes.” he smiles at my reply as if this pleases him.

I slowly get up and the pain is more bearable after my bath, I take the towel and he helps me wrap it around my body and kisses my cheek. He gently picks me up and walks me to my room. I see that someone put clothes on my bed for me to wear, he puts me down and I pull the towel tighter around me.

Jax picks up one of my big sleeping shirts, it was my dad’s “Max’s Gym” shirt and I use it to sleep in. Jax pulls it over my head over the towel that’s still wrapped around me. The shirt comes mid-thigh and I pull the towel from underneath me.

I’m still covered so he can’t really see much apart from my legs, he then picks up a piece of underwear, thank God its boy shorts and not the sexy lace type that my drawers are filled with or I’d probably just die of embarrassment.

“Don’t worry baby, I didn’t go through your underwear drawer, Ronny picked the clothes out for you.” he laughs.

“Do you…want help putting them on?” he hesitates and blushes. I can’t help but find it adorable.

“Yes please I can’t really bend, if you feel uncomfortable though I could call Ronny?” I say as he looks down at me.

“No it’s cool…I’m good.” He smirks at me as he bends down and holds the underwear open by my feet so I can put my feet through, he slowly pulls it up and his gentle touch gives me tingles throughout my body. I look down at Jax and the underwear he’s putting on me is nearly in place as he nears my upper thighs, he clears his throat having an internal battle with himself.

He places the underwear on me comfortably and his hands linger on my smooth thighs. I keep my eyes on his face, he is so incredible, he’s such a tough guy and bad boy but he handled me like you would a delicate baby, he is so gentle and caring.

Jax is amazing
.

I put my hand in his blond messy hair and move the hair away from his eyes as he looks up at me. His hands now wrap around my ass and he rest his head on my stomach but since he’s so tall even standing on his knees makes his head come just under my breasts, I rub my hands through his hair trying to calm him.

I love his soft hair.

“Lexi, I’m so sorry this happened to you, you don’t deserve this….no one is ever going to put their hands on you again I swear. I’m going to make sure of it!” he whispers against my stomach, his voice breaks as if he is trying to hold back tears.

“Thank you Jax … for everything…” he gets up off the floor and he tucks me in bed at his side so that we’re leaning against the head board.

“Are we having a slumber party?” Ronny says as she walks in and climbs on top of the bed next to me. She seems happier; obviously she’s trying to lighten the mood. I smile at her.

“I think we should call Drake and tell him what happened Lex, he will be mad at us if we keep this from him. Shit, he’s probably going to be pissed we didn’t tell him as soon as we found you like that.” Jax trails off.

“No! Don’t!” I cry out. “It’s not a big deal.”

“It’s not a big deal? Your back is black and blue, you have hand prints on your arms in the form of bruises! It’s a big fucking deal Alexia!” Jax barks in my ear and I flinch.

“He didn’t mean to do it!” I blurt out not meaning to. Jax tenses next to me and Ronny goes quiet and stops moving staring at me in shock, then he lifts my quivering chin up to look in his eyes.

“He? Who’s he?” Jax says through gritted teeth, his eyes darken and his jaw tenses.

“Who Lexi?” Ronny shouts from beside me.

“Drake.” I whisper looking down at my hand on Jax’s chest.

“What?” Jax almost whispers and I can tell he is surprised.

“This morning, I came in and undressed coz I was wet from the rain, as I was walking to the bathroom for a towel, Drake bumped into me in the hallway on my way back to my room. I’ve never seen him so mad, he pushed me into my bedroom door and was screaming at me because I went to Alex’s and he thought I was seeing another guy because he smelt their deodorant on me or something. He kept banging me into the door, I tried to push him off me but he was so strong. He was shouting and pushing me against it. I was so scared, I knew I was going to have bruises but it’s okay he didn’t even realize he was doing that. I tried not to cry but I couldn’t keep it in I was so scared and mad at him, when he saw me crying he stopped then realized what he was doing. He didn’t mean to hurt me, and he apologized, it’s all good now. Everything’s fine…”

“No everything is definitely NOT fine! I’m going to fucking kill him!” Ronny says getting off the bed and stomping to the door.

“NO! Ron! Please just leave it, please, we sorted it out! He regrets what he did and he won’t stop apologizing. He won’t hurt me again. Please just come stay with me, I need you guys…please!” I plead with her and her face drops. She climbs back on the bed and lies next to me again but she looked at Jax and he looks at her as if they know what the other is thinking. I don’t want to get in the middle of their friendship, they are so close and I don’t want them to have a fallout because of me.

“Ronny’s right Lexi, this is not okay! I’m trying really hard not to go and fuck him up right now for what he did to you…really hard. I’m going to try and restrain myself because I know you need us right now, but I want you to know that I AM going to speak to him about it.” Jax says as he looks down at me with such conviction.

“Okay …I’m too tired to argue with you …I love you guys.” I say as I nestle into Jax’s side.

“Love you too Lex,” Ron says as she holds my hand.

“Love you more than you know Lexi…” Jax whispers into my ear as I close my eyes feeling protected and safe under his touch.

JAX POV

I leave as soon as Alexia falls asleep; I have to sort this out with Drake because I’m fucking raging! My wolf wants to hurt him like he hurt our girl but I can’t since he’s going to become my Beta and it won’t look good with the pack. Ronny says she will look after Lexi and I trust her to do a good job. I run up to our pack house which is just up the hill and go in search for Drake, I could call him through our pack link but I’m so mad at him right now I don’t even know what I’m going to say to him.

I walk up to his room, I know he’s in there I can smell and sense him. I walk in and I see him sitting on the side of his bed with his elbows on his knees and his hands covering his face.

He senses that I’m here. “I know Jax…I know…I fucked up bad … I can’t believe I did that to her. I lost control when I smelt the other wolves’ scent on her, my wolf was so close to taking over, oh my God.” He looks at me, I can see regret in his eyes and how miserable he feels about what he did.

After he stands up, I punch him in the face hard enough for him to tumble over and fall into his desk. He gets up and holds his nose, then uses a shirt that was lying on the floor to hold it against his bloody nose. I know with the wolf genes he’ll heal quick enough but at least he felt the pain even if it only lasts a few minutes. He stands straight but doesn’t attempt to fight back. I’m furious and trying hard to keep my wolf from jumping him right now.

“Drake man! What the fuck? How could you do that? She’s human! She’s not as strong as us, you need to be delicate with her!” I growl out watching him hang his head low then I remember what he said.

“Wait, what scent did you smell?” I use my Alpha tone and it makes his shoulders slump for being chastised by me.

“I know! I’m sorry, I feel so shit. She
never
cries Jax even when she tells me stories about her father when I'm in my wolf form, she holds everything in. I can see sadness in her eyes but she NEVER cries …and I made her cry! She was so scared of me Jax, she was shaking. She was covered in a couple other wolves scents, a couple males and a distinct female but it could be anyone’s, she wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference between human and wolf, she’s so innocent and naïve…she doesn’t even know that we’re wolves! I can’t believe I did that, I didn’t think I was that rough.”  Drake trails off looking at the floor.

“Drake you should see her back and arms man. They’re covered in bruises and she can barely stand up straight! Dude you are so much stronger than her little human body, if you’re going to date her then you need to be able to control yourself when you around her. If you don’t think you can then I don’t want you with her. Do you understand me. I don’t think it will be safe for you to see her.” He starts to stand.

“What? She has bruises? Fuck, I’ve got to go and look after her and tell her how sorry I am –” I grab his shoulder and turn him around.

“Drake, Ronny and I helped her and she’s sleeping now. I love you man, we’re not blood but you’re my brother and you’re going to be my Beta but if you EVER hurt her again, I swear I will hurt you and my wolf will probably end up killing you.” I say with all the anger inside me.

“I will never hurt her again. Jax I don’t ever want to see her cry again. It broke my heart…I need to see her!” I nod and he runs out the room. I tell Ronny through our pack link to come back to the house and not touch Drake even though I know she’s itching to give his ass a beating, she reluctantly agrees and leaves Lexi’s house.

DRAKE POV

I sprint down to Lexi’s house, Ronny comes past me but she gives me a death glare and ignores me, I expect it.

I can’t believe how I hurt my girl, anger just overtook me and not even my wolf could stop the rage from overtaking. Sebastian is upset with me because I hurt her and I fully understand because I hate myself for what I did.

When my wolf noticed how gorgeous Lexi looked in her underwear I had to fight him not to mark her and take her right there. Wolves don’t generally mate with humans because humans aren’t strong enough for the mating process. Wolves won’t be able to reproduce with a human either, the baby usually dies or the mother and the baby die during the months after falling pregnant. This causes wolves to generally reject their human mates because wolves want to reproduce and carry their bloodline.

The first time my lips touched Lexi’s, my wolf took over and was so close to marking her on that couch, my canines extended and grazed her neck. It was really close but I couldn’t risk Lexi’s life, she would never be able to live through the changing process.

The feel of Lexi’s skin on mine and the smell she gives off when she’s aroused is breathtaking it drives my wolf and I wild. I know what I’m doing in bed and a lot of girls will agree with me but I’ve never been with someone so innocent and perfect. Lexi was amazing, I touched her like no other man ever has and I’m so honored she let me. I knew she wasn’t ready for the next step though, this time I just needed to take care of her, show her how much I love her and make her feel good.

I told her I love her when she was sleeping and I meant it.

I slip through the front door and tip toe towards her room, its dark and the curtains are closed. I close the door behind me and with my enhanced eyesight I’m able to adjust quickly to the dark. Lexi is curled up on the one side of the bed with her feet to her chest looking so small and brittle. She’s fast asleep, I take off my clothes keeping my boxers on and climb under the covers behind her. I see she’s only in her underwear and a large shirt, the shirt has crept up though. I start to pull her shirt down to cover her underwear when I notice her skin is dark in areas on her lower back, I lift her shirt gently and see a huge dark blue bruise near her spine.
Oh my God….what did I do? I caused her this pain.

I cover her up and gently get comfortable behind her small body, I lean on my one hand that’s near her head and look down at her next to me. I move the hair from her face and neck and lean my face in to smell her, I nuzzle her and Sebastian purrs from within me at the feeling of being close to her. I give her neck soft kisses and I feel her cuddle closer to me as she nestles into my chest.

LEXI POV

I wake up surrounded by warmth, I instantly know its Drake by his smell. I look at my phone next to my bed and realize it’s seven in the morning and it’s a Monday, we gotta be at school before eight. I can feel Drakes arousal pushing against my ass. I know I should be scared of him for how he hurt me but I know he didn’t mean it. My back feels a lot better and I’m getting used to the stiffness although it is quite uncomfortable. I slowly turn around to face Drake, he’s lying on his side with his head on his folded arm and he isn’t wearing a shirt.
