My eyes opened awake, the sound of a hospital life machine beeping beside me, I exhaustedly looked towards it. Seeing that i had needles inserted in me, I quickly guessed where I was. The sun's shone warmly from the window, the sensation slapping me back to reality when I sense a familiar presence.
My eyes widened when I realized that it was no other than my mate.
His eyes closed, he was sleeping soundly with his arms crossed. trying not to wake him up, i quietly grabbed my phone on the bedside table, looking towards the date.
So I've been here for 2 days?
"You're finally awake."
I accidentally threw my phone in the air when he suddenly talked, my heart beating fast from shock. I glared at him. "Can't you wake up normally?"
I glanced towards my phone across the room.
Just great.
"I've been here the whole time, and this is the attitude that you'll welcome me?" He said, irked.
I looked at him in disbelief, my thoughts telling me that he really had no reason to take care of me other than being his plaything. If he is talking about that he cares for me? i doubt that.
He just looks like he would never let me die without his permission first.
Well, permission my ass!
"If you didn't startle me like that, then my phone wouldn't have to fly across the room," i said, already trying my best not to be too rude to him. "Anyone would have an attitude if their thing gets broken for no reason."
"Was that my fault?"
OBVIOUSLY JERK.
"No." I lied. My lip almost bled when I bit it in anger. "It was my fault, I shouldn't have been shocked and threw my phone away purposely."
His eyebrow arched, his smirk forming. "Being sarcastic?"
"How could I? I only meant everything I said." I smiled forcefully.
He laughs. "You're obviously pissed."
THEN WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PUSH ME TO DENY IT IF YOU KNEW?!!
Breathe Christal, he forgot about you. I don't know why he's messing with me right now, but i really have to calm down. Patience is the key.
"Can i know why you're here? Alpha King?" I asked, changing the uncomfortable subject.
"Well, it's because I'm here to question a criminal."
A criminal?
As he looked at me like he was giving me time to think, it finally dawned on me when I realized that he was pertaining to me. Since he stayed the whole time as I was recuperating, it could only mean that I was the criminal that he was talking about.
So I'm the criminal right? is this because he discovered I used some kind of drug to win? No, the wouldn't have evidence, it was a disappearing drug after all.
Remaining oblivious of the truth, I fakely coughed. "So.. have you caught him.. or her yet?"
He smiles. "What do you think?"
I flinched seeing his playful gaze.
"Well, knowing how powerful and merciless you are, I could only guess he/she is caught by now." I smiled, still denying to myself that i was the criminal.
"Oh? your guess is wrong." He said, slowly leaning towards me. "It looks like I'm a bit benevolent after all since I've let her run for a while."
Oh shit, he knew.
I laughed awkwardly. "Wow look at the time, it's time for my morning nap. I have to rest more since my wound is still healing." Adding some effect; I acted that my wound hurt at the moment.
"Really? I just checked it, it's fully healed now."
My eyes widened in embarrassment, I felt my face getting hotter.
What?! He saw it?! my fatal wound is the one on my chest, so he's saying he saw it?
When i glanced towards him, he was looking at me with an amused expression. He was obviously enjoying seeing me flustered towards his statement.
"What're you getting shy for? it's not like I haven't seen you nake-"
For no reason, my hands moved on its own, immediately blocking his mouth from making me flustered more than i already was. I felt his lips curl into a smile, his eyes looking at me amusingly once again.
"Stop it! Do you really have to be this shameless?! You trying to ruin my day so early?!"
He grips both of my hands, that are now restricted from covering his mouth.
"Shameless? we're the only people in this room."
"Maybe we are, but there's obviously a lot of werewolves that could easily hear our conversation from afar!"
He laughs. "So that was what you're afraid for?"
I tried wriggling my hands away from his grip but he was too strong for me to struggle off, so i just gave up. Glaring at him while my pout elongates from frustration. "Shut up.," I mumbled.
"Don't worry, this room is soundproof. We could even-"
"BLABLABLABALBALABHH SHUT UP."
He laughs. "How old are you? are you a kid?"
"Being a kid is better than an old man."
It looked like he didn't like my statement since his eyes shifted into his usual stern ones, obviously not looking pleased that i called him an old man. I flinched at the sight, i backed away from him by moving my body away from him. Avoiding his gaze, i couldn't take back what i said since i also had my own dignity.
Well he's more than a hundred years old, so who says he isn't?
"What do you mean?"
Still not looking in his eyes. "W-Well, i'm just saying that from alot of people's perspective, i mean who would want to be an old man-"
When i finally looked at him, i was cut off from speaking when he started oozing black aura from anger. I gulped at the sight, immediately zipping my mouth to survive.
"-Actually being old is not really that bad," I added, hopefully, i could regain some mercy from him.
Damn it just why was i mated to this bipolar AlphaKing? He got temper issues.
'Look who's talking' Gina laughs.
[Shut up bitch] i scoffed at her.
'From my perspective, you have it worst than him'
[You always side with him, why can't you be at my side for once?!]
I was cut off talking to Gina when he suddenly speaks up, his aura minimizing after he tried to calm himself. "Tch werewolves have obviously longer life span than those human ages you based your old age with." He argues.
Oh look at him defending his werewolf age, how cute.
I almost laughed but i held it in.
"You're right, and since you're alpha king then you've probably lived more 200." i said, making things worse.
"I'M NOT THAT OLD."
I gulped. "Calm down your horses, i was just kidding."
"You're kidding? Did i allow you to make fun of me?" He says, pissed.
Man, talking to him without the mate pull is really a big trouble for me. He thinks he could be rude to me all the time, not unlike the past where he nursed me like i was some baby when i got sick.
He really is a cold-hearted pervert jerk. He's probably thinking of me like i'm some sex toy, just to meet his needs every night.
While thinking of bad thoughts of him in my head, i almost forgot that he was also pissed at my attitude beside me. I was glaring at him while i cursed him in my thoughts, not realizing that i mouthed some words at him.
"Jerk?" He says in disbelief. "Did you just call me a jerk?"
I gasped, immediately closing my mouth.
"I did not." Blatantly denying it.
"You were glaring at me while you said it."
"Well can't i think of some other people while i look at you?"
He quickly fumes at my sentence, growling towards me. "HOW DARE YOU THINK OF SOMEBODY ELSE WHILE LOOKING AT ME."
i sighed, i can't do this anymore. I'm too old for this argument. Well i'm not really that old, but talking with him like this is really taking half my life span.
'Shut up, you're just as old as he is.'
[Thanks for always siding with me.] i thought sarcastically.
"Look." I managed to breathe out. "I really don't have the energy to talk to you right now." I said, acting weakly all of a sudden, my eyes fakely squinting from fake exhaustion.
Yes, let's use this post-injury side effects as an excuse to escape this angry Alpha King.
"I don't allow you to sleep! you have to tell me who was it you were thinking of while looking at me!"
I waved my hand, initiating a flag of surrender between us. I slowly tried to lay myself once again, only to be pulled up from his grip that refused my action to recuperate.
Damn it, this talk is more draining than my duel.
Should i just run away from here?
Thinking that i was crazy for even having such thoughts, i finally sat neatly and looked towards him. My eyes filled with ease, hoping it could have some mirror effect on his.
But it obviously didn't, he still glared at me, waiting for an answer.
"D-Do i really have to-"
"Say it."
I sighed, trying to think of someone to use as a sacrifice.
