C113 - A Fire Accident

Erik who had remained shocked by this avalanche of news, just like Alan by the way, said quickly : "Yes, yes we can eat now, you are right it must be ready."

He stood up hastily to check and Alan set the table in the meantime.

Once they were all served the tension eased and the conversation shifted back to more trivial matters.

The wine also helped to calm the spirits and they all had a pleasant evening.

When Axel saw that Kevin was starting to yawn he excused them to the others and they went back to their room.

Axel wanted Kevin to rest as much as possible before their travel tomorrow, just to go there to see Tony and come back with the giant bird, it would take them 4 hours, it was going to be an exciting but exhausting day.

Liam, after that Axel and Kevin went back to their room, decided to leave too and Ian chose to follow him.

He offered to take him home and to his surprise Ian agreed.

Along the way Liam was lost in his thoughts, he thought back to what Kevin had told him when they had been alone while the others were cleaning the kitchen.

Kevin had taken this opportunity to tell him not to put pressure on Ian as it was obvious he had feelings for him.

He had told him that like animals, humans who felt cornered fled, it was a sort of survival instinct, if he kept pressuring him he would lose him at the end.

He had also said something to him that still puzzled him, Kevin had told him that Ian had tensed up when he said that 'if one of you dies the other one will die instantly too', and he had suggested that he should try to find out why.

He had said that maybe Ian felt too weak comparing to him and he didn't want to be a burden, or that he didn't feel like worthly of his love.

What he found strange was that, he who had been next to Ian, hadn't noticed anything at all, but Kevin looked so sure ... He still had this feeling that something was fishy about him, but whatever it was, Kevin was just trying to help him, he wouldn't forget that, no matter what he was hiding from him.

He then realized that Ian was lost in his thoughts too so he asked him curiously : "What are you thinking of ?"

Ian blushed and his heart raced, which only increased Liam's curiosity, he heard him whisper : "Everything you said about the mark of the Union was true, wasn't it ?"

Liam saw that they were almost at Ian's pavilion so he honestly said to him : "Everything I said is true, and I already drank your blood while we were making love, so whatever you choose to do, you will be always the only one for me."

Ian then said frustrated : "This is not how it should have been, we were drunk that night, and we clearly weren't in a relationship before ... So why me ? If you had been spending the night with someone else, would you have been binded with him instead ?"

Liam chuckled and said to him : "Why are you torturing you with this nonsense ? I told you already that everything I said tonight was true ... The fact that a Legendary Wolf can only have one mate too.

Ian my feelings for you are real, and have been there since day one, ever since I found you inside that burning mansion while you were still unconscious."

Ian could sense that Liam was being sincere, and they were right in front of his pavilion, so he took his hand and led him inside, saying : "I need to confess something to you ... Let's discuss in the living room."
