Chapter 101: *Having a hard time to believe it*
A beaming smile appeared on Kevin’s face, and he told him, "I’m fine now; you don’t have to worry anymore."
Kevin took the opportunity to position himself more comfortably in his arms, and he asked him curiously, "Why are you naked?"
Axel looked at him tenderly and said, "You still had a nightmare, even though I stayed with you the entire time. When I saw you struggling in your sleep, I felt an overwhelming urge to confront those bastards responsible for your nightmares. Yet, in your eyes, I became the enemy you had to kill."
Kevin was looking at him with shocked eyes, and then he pulled away from him and began to search his body to see if there were any injuries. Axel chuckled and took him back in his arms. He said to reassure him, "Nothing bad happened; I told you I would be careful if it happens again."
Kevin heaved a sigh of relief, and Axel caressed his face and continued to tell him what had happened, "To tell you the truth, you kicked me out of bed, and you were ready to fight against me. I walked away from you, but that was not enough; you remained on your guard, ready to fight. So, I had an idea: I thought that if a human presence could not appease you, maybe in my wolf form, I could."
Kevin was puzzled; he would never have thought of something like that, and seeing how Axel looked proudly at him, it must have worked. But he was curious, so he asked him, "How did I react?"
Axel’s smile widened, and he said to him, "Much better than I had hoped for. You grabbed me and put me back to bed, and in your sleep, you called my name. After that, I turned back into my human form, and nothing else happened."
Kevin smiled; meeting Axel had really been the best thing that ever happened to him. "Since when have you been awake?"
Axel turned to look at the time on the wall clock and said, "Since yesterday morning; I woke up around 9-10 a.m. and ate breakfast with Alan and Erik."
Kevin nodded, and he told him what Alan and Erik had said to cover up what they had done. He also told him that Liam had come to see them. He explained to him who Liam was and what they had talked about together, which led him to tell him that Liam had found out that he had become a Legendary Wolf and that he wanted to tell him more about wolves.
Kevin then said to him, "If he told you that it was important, you should go. Your wolf has evolved, so maybe other things have changed too."
Axel nodded and said, "I will go when I am sure you’re okay... It makes me think Alan and Erik want to talk to us about something important too."
Kevin looked at him surprised, and he bit his lower lip. He just hoped it wasn’t because he had scared them too much; he was aware that he hadn’t really shown his best side by torturing this Elite Warrior Vampire.
Kevin tried to push away his dark thoughts, and he then said to Axel, "I have something important to tell you too."
He looked him straight in the eye and confessed to him what he had discovered, "When I used my Warrior Spirit skill, I was able to see your Stats, and your name had changed or rather another one appeared."
Axel looked at him startled, and Kevin continued, "After your name, it was indicated that you were the son of the God of Destruction. Honey, it’s not just your wolf that has evolved; your race has changed as well, and you are now a demigod."
Axel was so shocked that the only thing he was able to say was, "A demigod?"
Kevin nodded, "I swear it’s the truth, honey."
Axel still had a hard time believing it, but why would Kevin lie about something like that? So he preferred to change the topic and asked him instead, worriedly, "How do you feel? What do you remember exactly?"
Kevin knew that the information he had just given to him must be hard to digest, so if he didn’t want to talk about it, he wouldn’t push it either. He then answered him honestly, "I remember everything, until I passed out right after going through the teleportation portal."
Kevin added, a little embarrassed, "I feel good, but I’m starving, honey." And just as he finished speaking, his stomach began to growl loudly as if to validate his words.
Axel laughed heartily and said to him, "I’m starving too, babe. Let’s go eat then... Try to get up slowly, and if you feel dizzy, I will carry you, okay?"
Kevin didn’t really want to leave his arms, so he said, leaning in to kiss him, "Carry me, Axel. I’m tired; I just want to stay in your arms."
Axel kissed him out of reflex, but then his response surprised him so much that he put his forehead against his to check if he had a fever, but no, apparently, he was perfectly fine.
Kevin laughed because he knew what Axel was trying to do, and he said to reassure him, "I’m fine, honey, but I’m really tired... And starving."
Axel this time got his message, and he just hoped that Erik had prepared something for them to eat because how could he ask his man to cook when he didn’t even want to try to walk?
Axel dressed quickly and carried Kevin to their kitchen, where he set him on a chair. As he turned to the kitchen counter, he saw a dish with a note on it. When he read the message, he sighed in relief and brought the dish straight to the table, "Erik made this for us. On his note, he says that there is no need to warm it up; we can eat it just like that."
Kevin smiled at him and removed the covering from the dish. They ate in silence, and the dish was delicious; they completely devoured it in no time.
Axel then suggested to him, "Do you want to take a bath?" He knew that Kevin loved to take a bath to relax his muscles, and he was right because Kevin replied immediately, "Hell yes!"
Kevin decided to test his body and stood up without Axel’s help, but when he tried to walk, his head immediately spun. Seeing his face turn as white as a ghost, Axel immediately joined him and picked him up in his arms.
He asked him worriedly, seeing that Kevin was keeping his eyes closed and his face wasn’t returning yet to its usual color, "Babe, are you okay? Do you prefer to go back to bed?"
Kevin, who really wanted to take a bath, then told him, his head leaning on his shoulder and still with his eyes closed, "My head is just spinning, and my ears are ringing, but it’s okay; don’t worry too much. I really want to take a bath, please, help me, honey."
Axel then kissed his forehead and said to him, "Of course, babe. Let’s go then."
Once in the bathroom, Kevin let Axel undress him, and then he took him back in his arms. Kevin finally felt the hot water on his body, and between the warmth of Axel’s body and the hot water that was helping his body to relax, Kevin fell back to sleep not long after.
When he woke up, he was in his bed again, and this time he felt much better. He moved, and Axel immediately asked him, "How are you feeling, babe?"
Kevin stretched and honestly told him: "Much better. How long did I sleep this time?"
Axel immediately replied, "Only 4 hours. If you want, you can continue to rest; I will stay with you. Don’t worry."
Kevin smiled but asked him instead, "Are Alan and Erik here? I think it’s time to distribute the loot."
Axel laughed and said, "They’re here, and they’re going to be happy to see you on your feet. As for sharing our loot, it’s going to be fun; I can’t wait to see what’s inside the boxes."
Kevin stood up slowly, and after making sure that this time he wasn’t dizzy, he took out from his magic bag, which was on his nightstand, a comfortable outfit and immediately dressed up.
When he turned around, Axel was getting dressed too, and he still looked a little worried, so he held out his hand to him and said, "Let’s go!"
Axel intertwined his fingers with his and guided him to the kitchen, where Alan and Erik were quietly chatting. When they saw them arrive, Kevin saw that they were genuinely relieved to see him, and after settling in with them and discussing what had happened while he was unconscious, and mostly what Liam had done for them, Kevin finally succeeded in bringing the topic back to the dungeon rewards.
They were all very excited, and after everything they went through, they would finally see if it was worth it.
