Chapter 337 – Meg’s Awakening [Bonus ]

He was confused as to why would Kai invite him to come into his room. Shouldn't he be enjoying his bonding time with Meg? It was not even breakfast time!

Axel's eyebrows shot up when he saw that Tyler was there in the room, squatting.

Tyler nodded at Axel in greeting and didn't move from his spot. Axel realized that Tyler was carefully collecting something from the floor.

"What's going…?", Axel's question was cut short when his gaze fell on the bed.

Kai was there holding Meg who was shivering in his arms. She was wrapped in a bedsheet and Kai was caressing her cheeks and murmuring something while looking at her with a gentle gaze full of desperation.

Axel frowned when he confirmed that Meg's body was enveloped in a thin layer of silvery light. She was glowing. Literally.

It took Axel a second to realize. "Why did you mark her?"

Kai froze and he looked at Axel apprehensively.

Kai knew that he was supposed to wait until they reached the Midnight Guardians pack and he even promised to visit Meg's family first but… "I got carried away. The emotions were too strong, and my wolf urged me to do it. The timing was right, and it happened."

Axel pinched the roof of his nose. How was this the right timing? They were in the middle of another pack!

They all had their share of warnings to not mark their mates outside of their pack's territory because it might awaken abilities in the other party, and it can get nasty until they learn to control their power.

But what was done was done and he needed to figure out how to fix this.

Axel approached the bed to see Meg up-close.

With every step Axel took, Kai's hold on Meg tightened.

Axel rolled his eyes. "I'm not going to take her away from you. Tell me what's the status."

"I marked her about two hours ago. She was fine for about half an hour, and then this. It's getting worse."

Axel was about to ask for clarification when…

'CRACK! CRASH!'

A sound of porcelain bursting was heard, and Axel realized that a decorative vase from the corner just exploded. What the hell?

"It's Meg's ability.", Kai said with a helpless expression. "She already busted all the lightbulbs in the room and now is going after larger pieces."

"I opened the windows to prevent them from breaking.", Tyler said.

Axel's gaze went back to Meg, and he saw that the silvery glow reduced significantly. "It seems she lost some of her power."

Kai shook his head. "It's building up again. I can feel it."

"What should we do?", Tyler asked. "We can say that they were wild and broke some stuff, but if this continues, someone will notice that this is odd."

Axel got his phone. "Let me check with my parents and see if they have a solution for this."

…

"We should take her to our pack.", Axel gave them the short version after he ended his talk to his father. "The sooner, the better. I will talk to Alpha Damon and see if he can provide us with an exit where we won't be noticed." Alpha Isaac told Axel that Damon is good at keeping secrets.

"I will take Meg home. The two of you can stay.", Kai said. He knew that this visit was important to Axel, and he didn't want to leave him on his own.

Axel refused. "The road back home is long. You will need both me and Tyler." He wanted to get close to Talia and to talk to her, but as the future Alpha, Axel needed to prioritize tasks and it was more important to keep their pack's secret a secret. If anyone saw Meg glowing and bursting stuff, it would be troublesome for everyone.

If they were at home, Axel would be ecstatic to find out that his future Beta got some cool ability to smash stuff without touching them, but this was no time to celebrate.

Tyler spoke to Kai. "You hold onto Meg and keep her stable through the mate bond. Stay calm and that will reflect on her. I will ask Maya to pack Meg's stuff and when I get my things ready, I will return here to help you pack."

"Thanks.", Kai said, and his focus went back to Meg.

"Kai…", she called in a shaky voice and Kai could see that her eyes flickered in silver light.

"I'm here, love. It will be OK. Whatever you are feeling, it's normal.", he murmured words of comfort. "I am right here. I won't let go…"

He regretted not explaining any of this before he marked her.

Meg was drifting in and out of consciousness, and Kai hoped that she won't be mad because she won't be able to see her parents until she learns to control her powers, and that could be weeks or months.

…

Axel was waiting for Damon in the study, and he was pleased to see that Damon came with Talia.

Talia always had some calm about her, and there was a small smile at the corner of his lips. Whenever Axel saw Talia, his mood would improve. He really wished that she belongs to his pack and that he can take her home with him, and then they would have an open talk, but things were not going in that direction, and he needed to focus on the task at hand.

After exchanging greetings, Talia went to her desk to do some work. She and Damon agreed not to leave each other's visible range for the day.

"I heard you wanted to talk to me, and it can't wait for after breakfast.", Damon went right to the point as soon as he sat on his chair.

Axel confirmed. "We are facing an emergency and we need to return home as soon as possible. My father said that you can keep this under wraps. We don't want people to know about our whereabouts."

Damon didn't suspect Axel's words. Issues with packs are not uncommon, and his guess was that the Midnight Guardians pack was facing some crisis. And as a bonus, he was happy that Axel was leaving. Damon didn't like the way Axel looked at Talia.

"Will you stay for breakfast?", Damon asked.

"If you can pack some food for us, that will be appreciated. If not, we will pick up something on the way. Meg will be coming with us."

Damon confirmed that packing food for four people won't be a problem. "I assume that Tony and Kalina know about this."

"They don't. You can tell them after we leave. Give us at least one hour.", Axel said.

"Won't they be worried?", Talia asked from the side. She was trying to work, but she ended up overhearing what Damon and Axel talked about.

Meg was mated to Kai, but she still came with Tony and Kalina. With Axel saying that he needs one hour, that meant Meg won't get to say goodbye to the people with whom she arrived. Talia didn't think this was right.

"When we reach our destination, Meg will make calls and explain things but it's critical that we reach our pack as soon as possible. The smaller number of people knows about this, the better.", Axel said. This was the truth. "Until one hour expires, if anyone asks, tell them that I'm doing something with Tyler in my room, and everyone will assume that Meg and Kai are in his room."

"Alright. One hour.", Damon agreed. "It will be best if you leave during breakfast, so others don't notice you. I will give you one of my cars, and your car will wait for you at the border of my territory…"
