The Moon Goddess's Gift

Chapter 8 - Progress

Logan’s POV

The next morning I had a meeting with Dean, Chris and Dr. James explaining the progress I had made.  Angela watched over Leah until we were finished.  Once everyone was updated they left and Angela for the first time in nine days left me alone with my mate.  I was pouring over reports when I felt Leah stirring, I gave her a few minutes and when I didn't notice her scramble to her usual corner I went to the doorway and looked in.  Leah was sitting up in the bed staring at me.  “Are you okay?” I asked and she nodded.  I watched her for a minute and slowly walked to the bed and sat at the end.  She watched me but didn't seem scared.  “You know that I’ll never hurt you right?” I asked and she waited and finally nodded her head.  “Leah can I ask you some questions?” I could see her thinking and finally she nodded.  

Waiting a minute I finally started.  “Leah whats your last name?” “Summerhill'' she responded.  “What pack are you from?” “Night Pack” she said.  Charles was right; she's exactly who we thought she was.  “Leah do you know why you were in that prison?” I asked Leah lowered her shook her head.  “It’s okay, please don't get scared,” I said, wanting to hold her.  “Where did you find me?”  She asked which took me off guard, she had no idea where she was being held.  “I found you in a prison at the Shadow Pack, you don't know how you got there?”  “No I’m sorry” she said.  “Leah dont be sorry you didn't do anything wrong” again I just wanted to hold her.  I could feel her getting overwhelmed.  “Leah how about some breakfast” she nodded.  I went to retrieve the trays and when I came back she was already at the breakfast table.  I silently laughed to myself and sat down.

After breakfast I went about work in my office and Leah slowly crept in and curled up on the couch grabbing a book to read.  We had lunch at my desk as I rambled on about pack business.  After lunch Leah went into the bedroom and took her nap, I asked Angela to watch her while I called Charles.

“Logan how is it going”  Charles said answering the phone.  “She confirmed she is who we think she is Charles” I told him.  After some silence he spoke “I was afraid it would be”, “what aren’t you telling me Charles”.  “Take a breath and calm down. I'll tell you what I know”  Charles said.  I sighed and waited.  “As you already know her parents were the Alpha and Luna of the Night Pack.  Last year they both died in a rogue attack so because she had just turned 15 she wasnt of age to find her mate and take over as Luna.  The packs Beta Thomas took the temporary role of Alpha until she turned of age and found her mate.  Last I heard he was her guardian, but he never informed me she was missing”  “Do you think he has something to do with her being in the Shadow Pack prison” I asked.  “This is the part that has me confused, he was one of the Alpha’s who reported against Shadow Pack, if he knew she was there then why?”.  I was more confused now.  “Has he reached out since the destruction of the pack?” I asked.  “No I haven’t heard anything from him which confuses me more, does Leah know anything?”.  “I’m not sure she seems to be reluctant to talk about it or she doesn’t know” I told Charles.  “Okay Logan well let's keep digging ourselves, I'll send you her personal file maybe that will help you”.  “Sounds good Charles Ill let you know if I find out anything more” we ended the call and Angela came in to my office.

“Anything new?” Angela asked.  “Nothing but more confusion” I replied, just then my email dinged Charles had sent over her personal file.  Angela and I went over it.  Turns out her parents died a week after she turned 15 and that was 11 months ago.  We both looked at eachother.  “She turns 16 in three weeks,”  Angela said, stating the obvious.  “I don't know if she has any idea how much time has passed since she was kidn*pped” I said.  “You should tell her Logan, she needs to come to terms with it before she turns 16 and shifts'' I nodded agreeing with her.  At that moment Leah appeared in the doorway.  “Hi” she said but not to me to Angela.  Angela was speechless for once in her life.  “I’m Leah'' she told Angela.  “I’m Angela” “Are you the Luna?” Leah asked.  I have never seen Angela go so red I had to laugh.  “No no Im not I actually bat for the other team” Angela responded.  Leah slowly made her way towards Angela “You not a wolf are you” Leah asked her.  “No, I'm actually a white witch”  Angela responded.  Leah seemed to have no fear of Angela.  I motioned to Angela to sit and talk with Leah.  “Leah are you okay here with Angela while I go do some pack check” I asked and Leah nodded.  I left quickly smiling that Leah had so quickly taken to Angela.
