Chapter 112 - The Mark Of The Union

Liam then grabbed Kevin's right wrist and he showed to Axel his palm where the burn was visible as irrefutable proof that he hadn't listened to him and Kevin then said in an attempt to appease him : "Liam, it's okay, whatever happens to us, we are already together, so don't be mad at him and if you can explain to us the changes Axel went through when he became a Legendary Wolf, it will be great."

Liam looked at him hesitantly and then he saw Ian's warning gaze that was lingering on the hand that was still holding Kevin's wrist, so he quickly withdrew his hand as if he had burnt himself and he apologized to Kevin for his behavior.

After that, he looked at Kevin and Axel and he asked them : "Do you really want to talk about this in front of everyone ?"

Kevin came back to sit next to Axel and showed him the seat Ashton had just left which was next to Ian.

Kevin didn't understand why Liam was relectant to come and sit down, but he understood better when he saw Ian motion for him that it was okay.

Liam then looked relieved and immediately came to sit next to him looking delighted.

As for Alan, he had remained standing next to Erik who was finishing cooking, and both could perfectly participate in the conversation this way.

Axel then asked to Liam, confused : "Why did you say that, are there things we should hide from our friends ?"

Liam sighed and said : "I guess not, and as Kevin just reminded me, you were already together before, so there won't be any complications."

Ian repeated while frowning : "Complications ?" This is what I am to you ... Complications."

He stood up but before he could move to leave, Liam pulled him by force to his lap and he said to him : "Either stay on my lap or sit quietly in your chair and listen, you can leave after my explanation, but for once listen until the end."

Liam added : "And you know already what you mean to me so don't be a jerk."

Ian was trying to free himself from Liam's grip but it was as if it didn't affect him at all, and then he heard Alan who said to him : "Stop your childlish behavior Ian, and listen to Liam, this conversation will help you to make the good decision, you can't always run away from it, you will have to face it one day or another."

Ian eventually stopped struggling and Liam released him, when he was back in his chair Liam began his explanation : "I will start with that burn on your hand.

A Legendary Wolf can only have one mate, once he falls in love he becomes obsessed with that person and there cannot be others.

The bond that you and Kevin created before you became a Legendary Wolf must have been amplified after your transformation."

Axel looked at Kevin puzzled, from the start he had felt a special attraction and connection with him, and that attraction quickly turned into an obsession so he didn't really see the difference.

Kevin who had caught that look was also wondering the same question, Axel had always been quite obsessed with him so he asked Liam : "If Axel was already on the verge of becoming a Legendary Wolf when we first met, could it be that he recognized me as his future mate and treated me like one from the start ?"

Liam nodded and said simply : "It is indeed possible."

Erik who had just finished putting all the ingredients in a large saucepan and had started to simmer them, came over to join them with Alan and asked : "So, what is this burn ?"

Liam then said to them : "This is the mark of the Union, Axel and Kevin are now married, bind forever by a blood pact."

He avoided to say in front of everyone that for this mark to appear, the exchange of blood had to be done while they were making love.

He continued : "This mark is not to be taken lightly, if one of you dies the other will die instantly too.

If you are separated and one of you is injured or scared, the other one will feel it and he will be able to find you wherever you are. This is also the power of the mark of the Union.

Some say that there can also be a telepathic link between the lovers that is created during the Union but this case is extremely rare, I think it has only happened once or twice in the history."

Well, it would be thrice now with them, Kevin thought.

Liam stopped in his explanation and looked at Ian, he was wondering if he should stop there or continue, because what he was going to say could really make him run away this time.

He sighed helplessly and chose to be honest : "And, there is something that you absolutely must know.

Now that this mark has appeared, if you make love during the red moon which lasts 3 nights in the 5th month of the year, Kevin will be able to get pregnant and give birth to a baby."

Everyone was speechless and it was Ian who finally asked : "How is that possible ? I mean, how could a man give birth to a baby ?"

Liam looked at their astonished faces and he said : "Of course, this is not an ordinary pregnancy, and the one who carries the baby is very vulnerable during the pregnancy, because his energy reserve whether it is the chakra or the Soul force is used to nourish the baby.

Three months after the impregnation, an energy ball comes out of the womb of the person carrying the baby and depending on how the energy ball was nourished, it takes up to three days for it to turn into a baby, or in a wolf, both cases has been seen.

The longer the energy ball takes to transform, the more powerful the baby will be."

Kevin then asked him : "So you mean that at the beginning it is not a baby but a ball of energy ?"

Liam nodded : "Indeed, the energy ball will be created unconsciously by the Legendary Wolf during the red moon, and whoever received it will have to nourish it with their own energy reserve.

The mix of the two energies will transform into a baby or wolf when the time comes."

Kevin tried to calm his heartbeat that was racing right now, and he focused on the memory he had of this world.

A year here was formed from 10 months of 30 days, and they were now in the 8th month, his heartbeat immediately calmed down, Liam had said he could only get pregnant during the red moon in the 5th month so there was no risk right now.

Axel put an arm around his shoulders and asked him worried : "Are you okay babe ?"

Kevin nodded and said : "That's a fucking bomb you just threw to us Liam."

Kevin who had noticed that Liam and Ian didn't have the mark was curious as to why, after all, Liam was clearly in love with Ian, and Ian also seemed to have feelings for him otherwise he wouldn't have reacted so strongly when he had talked about complications.

He decided to watch them over the dinner and try to see where the problem was coming from, may be he could help them.

Axel then asked Liam : "What you just told us was for the mark, but what about the rest ?"

Liam, who had watched Ian's reactions, intently was relieved to see that he hadn't seemed disgusted, and that he wasn't rejecting him because of this news.

He focused again on the conversation and replied to Axel : "To be honest, there is not much to add, by becoming a Legendary Wolf you have taken an important step.

Now you won't have any limits, you told me before that you felt like you weren't progressing anymore, that's what we call a bottleneck.

But, now that you have finally succeeded in crossing this step, your wolf will become more and more powerful as you fight, your senses will continue to develop, and legendary wolves are also known to have exceptional abilities, you will surely develop your own soon."

Kevin was too curious to hold back so he asked : "What kinds of exceptional abilities ?"

Liam smiled and said : "It depends, it's very varied, but to name a few it can be, reading minds, instant teleportation, shock wave, telekinesis, that sort of thing."

Ian grabbed Liam's arm, suddenly worried, and asked him : "What's yours ?"

Liam smirked because he could easily guess why Ian had asked him this question : "Unfortunately, that's not reading minds, or I will know why you are refusing to give me a chance."

Ian sighed in relief but when he saw that Liam looked really depressed he told him : "It's not because of you, and you know that, we have already talked about it."

Liam shook his head and said : "We never talked about it, you keep saying that you are the problem not me, but you refuse to tell me why."

Kevin decided to intervene, that wasn't how Liam would find out the real problem : "What if we start eating, it should be ready now, right ?"
