CHAPTER 13

“What!?” I said in a frown, anger, a fleeting feeling on my features. “What do you mean by that?” 

“Didn't you want me to promise to fulfill three wishes, ones I know nothing about?” His eyes glistened with reserved laughter, “Well, this is the price to pay, you'll get your freedom and afterwards I'll fulfill three of your wishes as long as it's within my powers.”

I squinted my eyes, huffing as I crossed my hands over my chest once again, meeting his gaze squarely, as if I was challenging him. His eyes on me were sparkling with a certain thread of amusement, almost seeming like he was enjoying the banter. 

"Ah, don't play dumb, little one," Alpha Axel said, taking a step closer to me, bridging the remaining gaps, his eyes never leaving mine, forcing me to look up to meet his face, and I could feel his dominance washing over me like a wave, “You should know exactly what you were getting yourself into when you made that request. You wanted me to owe you a favor, and now you're trying to back out?”

At this point, I was more concerned with the fact that my neck really hurt from looking up for so long. I took a step back, to adjust the angle of elevation and depression between us. Obviously he had no problem looking down at me, but I had a problem looking up. 

For a second, his eye flashed with victory but it wasn't long it was wiped off, when he saw me massaging my neck. “Now what were we saying again, oh yes, my confinement punishment? How long would this punishment go on for?” I asked, still massaging my neck. 

Now it was his own turn to huff, “That will be decided by how good you perform,” he said, pulling his pants from the bed and putting it on. 

“Easy there tiger, else you'll get it torn,” I said teasingly, momentarily forgetting I was talking to an Alpha and Alpha Axel for that matter, the most ruthless Alpha in the whole werewolf lore. 

He sent me a ruthless gaze, almost charging at me, but Beta Kaiden came to my rescue pulling me away, “You need to get properly dressed omega, and rest for a while. You were badly injured and while the surface may look healed, you can't stress yourself so much else you'll get injured once again on the inside. Let me show you to your chamber for your rest.”

He was talking in a high pitched voice that I couldn't understand what it was about because I was close to him and I could hear him clearly even if he spoke in whispers. 

As soon as we crossed the bars and were in the hallway, he stopped talking and heaved a sigh of relief. 

“You should mind how you speak to him, you don't want to end up like those slave traders from more than a month back.” He said, still pulling me along.

My feet came to an abrupt stop, prompting him to stop as he gave me a questioning look. “How long have I been out?” I asked, my heart racing, as I was keen on hearing the answer. 

“I just said it.” He said, but I wasn't satisfied, I wanted to be sure my ears were working just fine. 

“Then say it again, I must have heard wrongly. How long was I out?” I asked again, my voice getting higher. 

Beta Kaiden looked at me inquisitively, before answering, “You were out for 40 days in all, did you not know that?” He ended with a question.
