Chapter 26

As soon as everyone was able to rest, Alec moved out. He couldn't wait to get home and see everyone. Especially after the invasion that occurred during their fight. Even though no one died Alec could still feel the distress through the pack bound and that made him restless. He already had a plan for that. Throughout his travel's Alec was mind linking Damon as they were discussing all the property damages and hurt members.

Back at the pack, everyone was together helping the members who lost their homes and taking care of the children with severe burns. Leah had to make sure everyone was settled in their temporary homes, but she wasn't alone. Not only did she have her pack but she had her family too.

The other day, three unexpected visitors shifted the momentum. Alec's pack would have still come out victorious since it was home turf, but when they arrived the favors were completely on their side.

Insuvai turned and gave Leah a comforting smile. "Are you alright?" Insuvai noticed how Leah looked sickly. A pale appearance formed on her skin with beads of sweat trickling down her face. "You're overdoing it." Insuvai felt it radiate from her. "You need a break."

"I can't rest. I can't do anything. Hearing the screams of the children as seen it go up in flames. I may not burn but they do. Thankfully, I was able to get them all out. It made me wonder..." Leah paused.

Insuvai grimaced because she knew what was coming and she felt terrible that she didn't see it coming or it could have possibly been prevented. "Did Kai scream? Or cry? He was afraid and I could have done something to help. That's why I can't stop. If I stop then more people will die."

"Running into a burning building with no marks coming out doesn't exactly hide your identity." Achira chimed in.

"Would you rather me let them burn alive?"

"Look at all of them now. Yet they are still completely loyal. How strange." Velvezhi scanned the crowd that worked around the center of the compact. Whether it be caring for the injured or providing food, clothes, and other necessities to those who lost it all. Velvezhi's observations were strange because it's been a long time since the majority of witches even felt comfortable living with wolves. There were a few exceptions. Like last night, Velvezhi witnessed the strangest thing that was ever done by a large group of wolves.

After Leah brought the last unconscious child out of the building in her arms, while a shield of fire entrapped her preventing the fire from touching the child, the wolves knew who she was. Leah held the unconscious kid in her arms as she saw the very large crowd that formed in front. Her face was full of fear as everyone stared shockingly at her. The pack did have a witch, Cevielle, but would they be alright with their Luna as a witch?

The fear of rejection suddenly become too real to her that a tear formed and feel perfectly from her check. Leah's eyes widened in surprise as slowly every individual dropped to their knees and bowed their head. Leah let out a breath that she didn't even know she was holding and cried from happiness. This couldn't be real. That all accepted her in her newfound identity. Truth was that it didn't matter if she was a troll or an ogre, they grew to love her over the years. How could they not love Leah?

The witches had pulled Leah to the side to talk with her for a brief second since her identity was discovered last night since she was the only one that could go in the building while the witches helped with the fighting. The news had spread fast like any other important information but their love never changed for her. They still planned on treating her like a golden flower. Velvezhi still couldn't believe that they didn't turn on her after finding out. She then figured times have changed for the better and maybe she was the only one that didn't change at all. Maybe she wanted to fix that. After losing her great-grandson, Kai, Velvezhi felt an unfamiliar sense of sadness. The strange type of sadness when she lost her daughter. Shaking off her thoughts she looked at Leah and was proud of who she has become as a witch.
