Talia stood in front of the door, thinking that Kai will lower the window, and she was surprised when the door opened.
"Co in.", Kai called.
Talia glanced toward Damon to see him standing on the side with Axel and then she got into the car.
g was in Kai's lap, limply lying on him, and her chest moved rapidly as she struggled with her shallow breaths. g was wearing a short-sleeved, peach-colored dress and her whole body was glowing in an eerie silvery light.
"g?", Talia called, unable to hide her surprise. When g didn't respond, she asked Kai. "What's going on with her?"
Kai licked his lips nervously, unsure how to respond. He still didn't know why Axel allowed Talia to co and see g like this. Isn't this violation of the main rule they follow? Should he just say that he marked g and his DNA caused changes in her body that granted her the ability that can crack and smash things? Can he say that to an outsider?
Talia couldn't stop staring at g. Kai's mark on g's neck was visible, and it resembled two stars next to a moon. His mark and the rest of g's body were pulsating in silvery light, every pulse was warm and welcoming, almost like it called to Talia, urging her to get closer.
For so inexplicable reason, Talia knew that whatever was happening to g, was because of Kai, and Talia had a feeling that she can help g.
Talia raised her hand to touch g's bare shoulder.
"Don't…", Kai wanted to say that Talia shouldn't touch g. He was safe because they were mates, but there was no way to predict what would happen if soone else touched g when she was in this state.
g's newly awakened ability was unstable and driven by emotions, and right now, g was scared and confused, and that was not good.
Kai found himself unable to speak because he ended up gaping at Talia's eyes that were flickering with silvery light. He knew very well what that light ant, but he had no idea how Talia got it. Was she one of them? Is that why Axel allowed her to co here? But if she was one of them, why was she not in the Midnight Guardians pack?
His eyes moved to Talia's hand that was resting on g's shoulder and he could see the light from g's body seeping into Talia's palm. What the…?
Talia smiled at the sensation of the rejuvenating energy spreading through her body. It was better than a popsicle on a hot afternoon, and more soothing than chocolate pudding after a savory al.
At the sa exact mont, Talia and g inhaled deeply, and a second later they exhaled together.
Talia released g's shoulder and her eyes were completely silver now, giving her an otherworldly appearance.
Kai could feel that g was stable. She was still leaning on him, but the glow was gone, and she was definitely sleeping peacefully.
Kai wanted to thank Talia, and to ask her many things, but he found himself tongue-tied.
"She will be fine for about two hours. I suggest you wear sunglasses until you learn to control that.", Talia said to Kai whose eyes were also silver.
Talia smiled at Kai's flabbergasted expression, and her eyes flickered back to her usual honeyed color.
Talia had no idea how she did this, she was moving on an instinct. Was her wolf guiding her subconsciously? That was a possibility. In any case, Talia knew that she helped g, and she also got answers to so of her questions.
"Just how you have your secrets, I have mine. What happened here, I hope we can keep it between us."
"Of course", Kai responded. He was grateful for whatever Talia did, and if she was right about two hours of g being stable, that will give them enough ti to be far away from here.
Kai cradled g in his arms and watched as Talia walked out of the car. This was unexpected.

"Miss Talia…", Axel called when she closed the door behind her. The fact that Talia was not freaking out only confird his assumptions, and now he was 100% confident that Talia was one of them. "What you saw in there… will that make you reconsider to co with us?"
"No.", Talia responded.
Axel frowned when he saw that Talia walked to Damon and they embraced each other.
"Alpha Damon can't keep you safe.", Axel said stubbornly. "You are putting him in danger by being here."
Damon growled lowly and Talia gave his hand a squeeze, indicating that she will take care of this. "I appreciate your concern, Axel, but my place is next to Damon."
"No.", Axel said. "You are important, and your place is in…"
"No?", Talia interrupted him, and her face darkened. "Who are you to tell where I belong? How can you claim that I'm important when you don't know anything about ? I endured years of hunger and abuse with no one to help . Why didn't you find then to tell that I'm important? Why didn't you co to tell them to stop?"
Axel was utterly confused. "Abused?"
Damon's heart ached at the grief that poured into him from Talia. She was usually a happy person, easily satisfied, but she held a big sorrow deep inside her, and now she allowed it to resurface.
How can he tolerate for Talia to bear it alone? Damon tightened his hold on Talia, hoping that his presence will soothe her, at least a little bit.
"That's enough.", Damon said. "She is not coming with you. Not now, and not ever. Give up on that because Talia is my fated mate." They agreed to keep this only to their closest friends until the big reveal, but Damon saw that Axel was persistent to the point of upsetting Talia. With Axel knowing they are fated mates, he should give up or he will end up going against Damon.
Axel closed his eyes and exhaled helplessly. He hoped that this was not the case. With Damon and Talia being mates, they won't separate willingly, and even if Damon can co to the Midnight Guardians pack, he won't because he is the Alpha of the Dark Howlers pack. This was too much to entangle and they needed to go.
Axel looked at Damon and Talia, and gave them a stiff smile. "Congratulations on finding your Luna, Alpha Damon. Thank you for accommodating our sudden request to leave. Once we deal with our ergency and I discuss this with my seer, I will be in touch, so we can make appropriate arrangents for you to et." His eyes landed on Talia's clear neck. "Before you proceed with marking, make sure you have at least a few days of privacy in order to get accustod to changes. It could end badly if outsiders find out that you are one of us."
And with that, Axel turned toward the car, and he went to sit on the front passenger's seat.
Tyler started the engine, and after a quick wave from Tyler and Axel (they couldn't see the back row), the car moved down the driveway and it disappeared among the trees.
"What happened in the car?", Damon asked Talia in a whisper. He was itchy to find out what happened.
"I confird that I'm from the Midnight Guardians pack.", Talia responded.
Damon cocked an eyebrow. It was obvious that Axel knew this but… "If that's settled, why is Axel still set for you to et that seer?"
Talia shrugged. "Who knows? There is probably more to the whole story."
She wanted to know, but she also didn't. Will she ever find out the truth about how she ended up in the Red Moon pack? Or will they only feed her lies? Was there any type of scenario that won't make her angry or sad? It was probably better not to know.
"Let's go and have breakfast.", Talia said. "Our other guests will be here soon, and if we delay any further I might get indigestion."
