Chapter 18

Silent tears fell down Leah's face as she was sitting on the edge of her bed. She made no noises as she slouched into her hands that were propped up by her knees. The pain of losing your child still burned like a fresh wound and it didn't dissipate as the days went on. Leah wasn't expecting it too.

It was okay to cry though. Leah hated it when she would cry but even the clouds rained when they got too heavy. There was a lot on her mind like how the clouds became heavy before they rained. It seems like Leah has been crying more than anything, but that was okay, right? If anything the anger fueled her when she would spar with Alec. That was her appearance in front of the people, a tough Luna. Yet, behind closed doors, the tears rolled steadily.

Leah would sometimes see Kai in her dreams and she yearned for his touch. However, when she would wake up it was like a cold splash of water in her face. The painful reminder that she lived another day without him.

Leah sat up and grabbed a tissue to blow her nose. She was sick and tired of crying but it seemed like she just couldn't stop. Perhaps, maybe checking up on a friend would ease her pain. Comforting talks could ease emotional pain, and Leah knew someone who was probably hurting as much as her.

Alec was handling some business with the new warriors that were sent in today by other packs. Housing arrangements and other needs had to be met, and Alec wanted to handle those directly as gratitude for their arrivals.

Leah cleaned her face off in the sink before getting dressed. She was on her way to visit Grace and Ava to see how they are holding up. Hopefully, Grace would be doing well.

After getting dressed Leah walked downstairs ready to walk to Grace's house. Leah rubbed her sore red eyes as she already felt tired and her day only just started. She sighed as she could never win. Then her eyes settled on Alec's car keys.

"He wouldn't mind right?" Leah muttered to herself as she grabbed his car keys. Leah didn't feel like trying to find hers, and besides, she would be back before he knows it.

Leah walked out the door to the driveway. Leah took the car cover off, unveiling Alec's most prized possessions. Out of all the times Leah has begged Alec to drive it, she only drove it twice. This would be her third time, so she would have to be careful. 

As she put away the cover, Leah could feel just a little bit of excitement. Hopefully, Alec wouldn't be too mad at Leah. As Leah started the car she begun to imagine Alec with his jaw clenched glaring at her. Leah smirked to herself, maybe she would take longer than usual.

When Leah arrived Grace was already outside sitting on the porch chair. There wasn't a single trace of happiness on her face. Usually, she was one of the most cheerful people in the pack. Although, Leah knew she'd have very little to be happy about.

Grace hopped off the porch when she saw Leah. A small smile was now visible on her face.

Grace engulfed Leah in a hug, "Hey." She breathed out. "I've been so worried."

"I know. I thank you for this sacrifice. I don't know what I would do if it was my mate." Leah comforted her.

"Yeah, I just couldn't talk him out of it. He is very stubborn. I just hope he makes it back to me because he cut our link off so I wouldn't feel pain like he did and I can't sense him at all." Grace squeezed her eyes shut as she felt a tight squeeze in her chest. She brought her hand to her mouth to stifle a cry. "It's like he's already dead!" Grace wailed out. "I'm just waiting for the pain to come to know for sure if he died!" Grace cried.

"I'm sure he is fine. Rem is a very strong person. I think you just need to have faith and hope." Leah replied.

"Yeah." She sighed. Grace shook her head and chuckled as she wiped away her tears quickly, "I'm sure you're right. I'm just a blubbering mess right now." Grace motioned to her house, "Would you like some tea and biscuits. We can talk alone inside." Grace offered.
