The Muted Luna (Sequel to TASW)

Chapter 11

                         (Nate's POV)

I told my father to call the Pack house and see how things are.

My father took Danny in the house with him as I sat there and stared at Eva.

So many things we're running through my mind.

Could I bring her back to the pack house like this?

Is she even safe to be around?

I looked over he pale skin and it just broke my hear to see how things turned out.

I wonder what they did.

I traced my fingers over the scars that were on her hand.

Her arm flinch and I withdrew my arm and waited.

But nothing happened. Maybe she doesn't like to be touched?

No mystery as to why that is.

"I'm so sorry Eva." But she laid there, no sound, no movement.

I wondered how she survived when we all saw her die years ago.

                I requested her medical chart and I couldn't stomach what I read so far.

             She was malnourished, two fractured ribs, x-rays showed she suffered through many years of abuse. She's broken her ribs, pinky, ankle, fractured wrist. Shoulder was recently dislocated, evidence showed that she was restrained by her arms and legs for a large amount of times.
      
        But one thing that bothered me was the fact that her alcohol level was really high.

              That confused me the most. Why did they not feed her but made her drink? It made no sense.

            One thing I was grateful for was that they didn't touch her. And I mean touch... touch her.

But that only meant I had more questions than I did answers.

I leaned forward and put my head in my hands.

Time was passing by and I didn't know how long I've been sitting here but I still needed to figure out how to get Eva home.

I smelt him before I saw him.

Braxton walked in but didn't say anything to me.

       I looked him over and he seemed to be just fine.

            A couple of scratches but I knew he could handle it.

      He leaned against the wall and just stared at Eva.

    Neither one of us daring to say a word.

Until I remembered something.

"I heard your pack was there to help protect my pack."

Nothing.

"My family was in trouble and if it wasn't for your pack who knows what would have happened. So, thank you."

He looked at me and nodded his head once.

"Have you decided what you are going to do?"

I knew he was probably thinking the same thing I was.

"No. She doesn't like to be touched and I can't risk her killing anyone else."
