Chapter 12

AVA'S POV

Beta Kaiden desperately wanted to laugh his butt off but despite how amusing and funny he found it, he willingly complied with the Alpha's order. 

Covering the little distance between me and him, he gently covered my eyes, “Alpha says you can't look at him.” My face was so small that even a single palm was enough to cover my whole face.

“He is such a miser,” I said, laughing teasingly but of course. I didn't want to make things hard for Beta Kaiden, not like I could anyways, but I obediently closed my eyes, wondering what was happening during the time my eyes were shut. 

The suspense was killing, making each second feel like triple the initial time, but I couldn't do much about it at the moment. 

My mind was occupied with anything and everything that had happened so far and then I remembered something.

Prying open Beta Kaiden's hand, thus taking him unawares when he must have been thinking about how helpful and obedient I was, I peeked through the gaps and the first thing I saw was Alpha Axel buttoning up his shirt, I didn't have time to dwell on that now.

“Alpha Axel, I saved you; so you owe me. My price is easy, I want you to grant me three wishes.” I said, a smile brightening up my face. 

Alpha Axel's expression turned from anger to surprise, clearly not expecting this bold demand, at least not from me. He raised an eyebrow, skeptical. “Three wishes? You think saving me once earns you that kind of leverage?”

By then Beta Kaiden, out of surprise, had removed his hand that was supposed to be covering my eyes, as he stared at me, mostly surprised I made such a demand from Alpha Axel. 

‘You have a lot of work with your anger issue honestly.’ I thought, shaking my head slightly. 

Meeting his gaze, I continued, completely ignoring his expression. “I didn't just save you, Alpha. I saved your pack, what would they do without their Alpha? You'd be lying dead if that dagger had pierced your heart, and if it weren't for me, who knows? So, yes, I think I've earned this much, three wishes granted.”

“You seem to forget, I also saved you from the life of a blood slave and then saved you from a death, you orchestrated by yourself,” Alpha Axel said, his expression seemingly amused as he watched my own expression. 

I was initially confused before it hit me that I was no longer a queen and now an omega. A blood slave.

“Saving me from the life of a blood slave is what I'm condemned to being an Omega, and I escaped once anyways, I would've done it again and again if it came to that.” 

I threw a glance at Beta Kaiden, whose expression was that of respect and amusement. “As for saving me from my personally orchestrated death, well, would you have preferred it some other way? I mean you don't even have a son to succeed you as Alpha, so it would've been a shame to die, leaving the people you swore to protect. I was saving your pride and reputation, if you don't try to demean it ever so slightly,” I said, slowly stalking him until I was standing right in front of him, with me at least one and half heads shorter. 

Axel snorted, but I could see the gears turning in his head. He was weighing his options, considering the potential consequences of granting me three wishes.

Finally, he spoke, his voice firm but with a hint of curiosity. “Very well, omega. I'll grant you three wishes. But only after you have finished your confinement punishment.”
