The Moon Goddess's Gift

Chapter 20 Almost time

Leah’s POV

Nightmare

I’m sitting is the garden outside my parents house enjoying the breeze when suddenly the skies get dark and the wind picks up.  A foul smell comes with the wind and I recongnise it as Rogues.  I hear a snarl behind me and see Bandit, my Uncles Thomas wolf approaching me with blood all over his mouth and rogue behind him.  Bandit shifts into Thomas and Thomas approaches me saying something but I can’t quite hear him until I finally make out him saying “You’re mine” I wake up screaming in Logan’s arms.  “Leah it’s okay your safe, shhhh…” Logan said while rubbing my back.  His touch is calming, but it wasn’t enough until he finally grabbed my chin lifting my head towards his face kissing me on my lips.  I finally relaxed and rested my head against his chest.  “You okay” he asked me hugging me tight.  “Yeah it was just a bad dream”, “Do you want to tell me about it?” Logan ask.  “I don’t really know what it was. I saw Thomas and he was covered in blood and had a rogue and told me ‘You’re mine’”.  “It’s okay it was just a dream Leah” Logan said “Logan, what if it’s true, what if Thomas is the one after me?  He’s my family how could he do this to me?”  “Leah, I promise you we will figure this out and I will protect you with my life” Logan said kissing me on my forehead.  Logan guided me to lay backdown and I pressed my face into his chest listening to his heart beat I fell back to sleep.  

Logan’s POV

Leah calmed down enough to fall asleep I was surprised by her having a nightmare, this was the first time in all the time she has been here that she has had one.  Leah was starting to have her doubts about Thomas which would make things easier to get her to help us with our plan to catch him.  I knew Thomas was up to something I just needed to prove it.

I’m not sure when I finally fell back to sleep but waking up with Leah snuggled so tightly against me felt amazing.  I glanced at the clock and it was 10am, s**t I missed training.  I could hear noise in my office so I carefully pried Leah away and got ready.  But the time I finished in the bathroom Leah was up.  “Morning Love, do you feel better this morning” I asked.  Leah nodded, she was never much for conversation before she was up and ready.  As I walked to the office door Leah slipped out of bed and headed into the bathroom to get ready.  

I was greeted in my office by Charles, Rose, Angela, Dean and Chris.  “Morning Alpha” Dean said as I entered.  “Whats everyone doing in here” I finally asked.  “Well you were missing from training this morning so we came looking for you” Charles said with a smirk.  “Get you head out of the gutter, Leah had a nightmare last night so I didn’t sleep as well as normal” I said as I sat down.  “Is she okay” both Angela and Rose asked.  “Yes, she had a bad dream about Thomas, as much as it pains me she did she is finally having some doubt about him which will make our plan easier” I informed everyone.  “Now please can we move on before Leah gets in here”.  “Logan why don’t us guys leave and let the lovely ladies have some breakfast and work together today.  Leah only has two more gifts to master and I’m sure us hanging around all the time isn’t helping” Charles announced as he stood up walking out the door.  “Sounds good” I said as I followed along with Dean and Chris leaving Rose and Angela in my office.

Over the next couple of days Leah got all of her powers and was quick to master each and everyone one of them.  We decided to set our Mating ceremony and Luna ceremony for in three nights for Saturday night.  In the span of three months I had rescued my mate and watch her grown into herself.  Leah had developed a great sibling bond with Luke and when she wasn’t training, eating or sleeping they were pouring over plans to make the pack more self sufficient.  I have to admit I loved everything they were planning.  We had already started on the farm area of the pack.  We had many wolves volunteering to tend to the farms and relocate to the house we were building there.  These effect on the changes was really building a strong community again.  The next step was to start building houses, we decided to start with the mated wolves so we could free up some room in the pack house and once they were finished we would build some stores and start on the additions on the pack house that Leah wanted.  The families who were relocating to the farm area had the choice to board there pups at the pack house for school or home school them, nothing was to be decided yet until the school was finished.

Leah’s POV

As the days got closer to my ceremonies the most excited I got.  Logan had already been including me in all the pack business and his relationship with Luke was getting stronger.  Luke and I had started working on the garden behind the pack house and growing vegetables for the pack kitchen.  We thought it would be a good idea to add gardens into our plans for the new houses so that the families could grown there own vegetables as well, we also added plans for chicken coops but it wasn’t mandatory but we thought it was a nice touch.  Luke was really the brother I never had.  My parents never said anything about wanting more pups but I always wanted a brother.

FLASHBACK

My pack the Night Pack was having one of our annual pack picnic.  I was 13 at the time and was trying to help out but my mother was encouraging me to go play with my friends.  I wouldn’t say I was popular but no one seemed to dislike me.  We were running around the field when I heard my father growl.  I walked over to where he was standing with my Uncle Thomas, he seemed upset but as soon as he saw me his face changed to happiness.  My Uncle Thomas noticed the change and looked over at me.  “Oh my special girl how are you enjoying the picnic?” my Uncle Thomas asked.  I could hear a low growl from my father but ignored him after all Uncle Thomas was family and I loved him.  “It’s great Uncle” I replied.  “Thomas lets go make the rounds before everyone leaves” My father said in his Alpha ton which was a little confusing at the time.

END

As I remembered that moment 3 years ago it made me wonder if my Dad knew Thomas was up to something.  This was the first and only time I ever saw my Dad angry at Thomas, but I do remember walking past my Dads office after my 15th Birthday and hearing them raise there voices at each other.  As much as I loved my Uncle Thomas after that nightmare I started questioning everything.
