Alexis' unkind hands touching the half-wolf's body caused such strangeness that he laughed. "Haha! Alexis? Please let go of me. You're about to choke me." Luke pleaded.
After the plea, the sleeper hold was quickly undone and the half-dragon spoke, "I'm sorry, Luke. I didn't mean to..."
She tried to explain herself, her gaze averted and her face flushed. Luke realized that she pretended to be asleep, although he didn't understand why she hugged him.
"Don't worry about it. If you want a hug or some company at night, just let me know. You saved my life once, and I would never forget that I owe you a debt." Luke scoffed, as he got up from the bed.
At that instant, Alexis' eyes sparkled with vigor. 'He's kidding me, isn't he? Saying that just days after rejecting me...' She was almost angry with the half-wolf.
