Liam couldn't help to think that something was definitely fishy about Kevin, but Axel had fallen for him so he could only support them.
Besides, lot of people had high hopes in him, it was amazing to think that the Sun Sect had a mage who had an affinity with 3 elements.
So whatever cause this nightmares, he will protect him the best he can.
Then, Axel saw him and beckoned him to come inside. He told him to take the chair from the desk to make himself more comfortable.
On closer inspection, Axel didn't look in top of his form, he was even worse than Alan and Erik who already looked like they needed a good week to recover.
But it wasn't his health that shocked him the most, after settling down next to the bed, he asked him in a low voice so as not to disturb Kevin's rest : "Fuck Axel, what the hell happened to you ? And no need to try to lie to me, I can feel the change of your wolf, he's much stronger than before."
Axel looked at him in astonishment, Alan had told him that he had been surrounded by a red aura during the fight and that it was thanks to this aura that he had been able to fight the Elite Warrior Vampire.
He immediately asked Liam, also in a low voice : "What do you mean by much stronger ?"
Liam decided to tell him the truth, after all, Axel didn't know all about wolves, he hadn't grown up inside a pack and when he had learned that he was a shapeshifter he had decided to stay and live with them in the Sun Sect.
He had taught him to control his animal instincts and change shapes at will, but there was still a lot he didn't know about wolves.
He said to him : "You have gone from a Warrior Wolf to a Legendary Wolf, if you want to know more about it, you're going to have to put your cards on the table with me."
Axel felf a little frustrated but he shook his head and said : "I can't do that Liam, I'm sorry, it's not because I don't trust you enough, it's just that I don't want to involve the Sun Sect, and you are one of their leaders."
Liam looked at him in the eye and he could see that Axel was determined so he asked him : "Could this put the Sun Sect in danger ?"
Axel nodded, Liam asked him again looking at Kevin : "Does this concern him ?"
Axel hesitated but nodded anyway, he knew that Liam wouldn't push him if he didn't want to talk about it.
Liam then decided to leave him for the moment, he could see that Axel was exhausted and that could only mean that he had exceeded his limits to be able to reach this level.
And, to be able to achieve this feat, it was probably because Kevin must have been in danger, it could only be that, a wolf would always protect his mate even if he had to die doing so.
Liam then asked him : "Do you want to know more about wolves now or when you will feel better ?"
Axel honestly said to him : "I'm completely exhausted, can we postpone this discussion ?"
Liam nodded and he said to him : "Don't worry about Wednesday, I will replace you ... And, even if Kevin wakes up by then, just get some rest this week, and no classes for him, okay ?"
Axel nodded in relief, he was relieved that Liam didn't insist to know what had happened and he was relieved because Liam was taking care of his duties, like that he could stay with Kevin until he felt better.
Liam added to let him know about the good news : "Alan has officially become Kevin's tutor, I'm sure that suits you too, doesn't it ?"
Axel felt that his eyes were getting heavier and that it wouldn't take long before he fell asleep again, he quickly said to Liam : "Yes, it's perfect like this, thank you Liam … And, I'm sorry but I can't fight the fatigue anymore."
Liam immediately stood up and said : "When you will feel better come to have a talk about wolves with me, it's important."
Axel nodded and quickly slipped under the duvet, Kevin immediately came to snuggle up in his arms and Liam seeing this added quickly to avoid further complications : "Just stop biting him for the moment, and remember that in no case you should drink his blood."
Axel looked at Liam confused, why would he drink Kevin's blood ? But he gave him a last nod before falling asleep without caring about anything anymore.
And, a silly smile appeared on his face as he felt the warmth of Kevin's body enveloping him.
Liam left them and went back to see Alan and Erik, he looked at them both intently and there were signs that couldn't be mistaken, their faces were paler than usual and they both had dark circles under their eyes.
He then said to reassure them : "They are fine, they just need to rest, Axel just fell asleep again, and I don't know what the four of you did together to be all in this kind of state but don't do it again or I won't be this lenient."
He looked at Alan and said : "Axel told me he didn't want to involve the Sun Sect so I won't ask any more questions … I will leave them to you, take care of them and no meditation or crafting potions today and tomorrow too, okay ?"
Alan looked worried and he asked him : "Axel fell asleep again ?"
If that was true, then it wasn't good at all, it meant that Axel was still too exhausted to be able to stay awake for more than an hour.
He looked at Erik and he saw the same worry in his eyes.
Finally, they were going to have to stay here a little bit longer to watch over them.
Liam nodded and said : "The two of you stay here with them until they are better … Erik, I will find someone else to replace you on Wednesday and I will replace Axel myself so don't worry about that, and for the Friday expedition, we will see if you feel better by then, otherwise you will have to wait until next week."
He was about to leave when he decided to ask one last time : "What you did ... Did you fight against another Sect ?"
Alan looked at Erik and Erik ended up telling part of the truth to appease Liam : "It was a dungeon, we didn't fight against another Sect, don't worry."
Liam was puzzled how a dungeon could have put Axel and Alan in this state … And then he paled as he asked them : "It was a purple dungeon, wasn't it ?"
Alan and Erik looked at him embarrassed but nodded, Liam then said to them furious : "Holy shit ! I hope you are aware that you are such lucky to be still alive ... No wonder you are all in this state."
Liam was really furious, Axel and Alan were their best recruits and Kevin was the only mage who had an affinity with 3 elements ... As for Erik … When Axel had applied to become his tutor, he had told him that he thought that he had something special and he wanted to check if his instinct was right …
Liam had no doubts about Axel's instincts, and if Axel had told him that, it was because Erik was probably going to surprise them all very soon.
If the Sun Sect had lost them that would have been dramatic, but what had they been thinking about wanting to loot a purple dungeon all by themselves ...
Liam eventually calmed down, nothing had happened and the fact that Axel had become a Legendary Wolf was surely due to that.
He decided to let's them go this time and said to Alan : "It's the last time something like this happen, don't even try to loot a purple dungeon again, it's way too dangerous, got it ?"
He ran a hand through his hair feeling frustrated : "I will tell Ian and Julian to come and give you the courses for Kevin, you will be the one to judge when he will be able to go back to classe … I just hope that you didn't traumatize him with your fucking nonsense ... A purple dungeon ... seriously !"
Alan held back his laugh, Kevin traumatized, damn, it was the best joke of the year, he said however : "I will take care of them, for me and Erik on Thursday we will be fine for sure, but for Axel and Kevin I don't know yet."
Liam said to them that he understood and after that, he left the pavilion. At least, that gave him a reason to go back to see Ian …
When Liam left the pavilion, Erik sighed in relief and said to Alan in a barely audible voice : "Damn, we're so lucky, I thought he would have confined us after we told him that we went to loot a purple dungeon."
