Dakota sat on the bed next to me and ran his hand through my hair. I smiled and shifted my head to look up at him and saw that his eyes were mixed between blue and brown. I caught his hand that was going through my hair and kissed the back of his hand.

"I have a question…" I whispered as I let his hand go.

"I may have an answer," he smirked.

"Could… could you lay with me…in your other form?" I hesitated and heard him laugh as he got off the bed.

He started to pull off his shirt and I averted my eyes to let him undress so he could shift. I cringed slightly as I listened to the popping of bones then I felt him crawl back onto the bed and curl his large form around me. I gripped his fur and moved to a slightly sitting position and heard him growl. I laughed at him, ignoring the pain then laid my head on his side, my face turned towards his head where he watched me with one of his brown eyes.

"I'm fine," I whispered, running my hands through his fur and he blinked and laid his hands on his paws and started to growl softly like a purr. "That sounds nice," I smiled and closed my eyes.

They walked down a few flights of stairs quickly once the five men had come up, saying that Leo had been transferred successfully and that Dakota was watching over her now. Jack followed Felicia and the twins through several hallways 'til he believed that he was lost. They finally came to a door and Felicia knocked once before opening it.

Jack found himself in a large room that was lit very well. There was a dresser on one hall and a large bed was on the other side. He saw Leo laying against something black that was huge. She was curled against whatever it was, sleeping peacefully.

"Dakota!" Sunny growled and the black thing lifted its head and Jack's heart almost stop as he stared at a huge wolf. It growled once before laying its head back down and lifted its tail and rested it on Leo's waist.

"She already knows, Sunny, that's why daddy allowed her to come here. Dakota spilled the beans just last night before she was in that wreck," Suzie laughed walking over to the bed and scratching the wolf's head. "I think he's better like this, he actually shows emotion even if it's just growling."

The wolf bared his teeth and started to growl at the girl, but as soon as Leo moved, he stopped and turned his head and looked down at her as her eyes opened. Jack saw a smile as she reached up and scratched the wolf behind the ears and took a deep breath. Andrew had said that there was a reason they were not the socialist of people and they had a genetic disease of sorts. Now he was seeing it with his own eyes. Supernatural beings existed in this world.

"Jack…?" Leo turned her head and locked her eyes on the man.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm comfortable unlike when I was at the clinic," she smiled as her hand reached behind her and ran through the wolf's fur. "Did Mr. Nelson tell you the situation?"

"Yes, you'll be staying here 'til you're out of danger. We'll get your homework and get it down here so you can actually stay caught up in school. We're not sure how long you'll be here but you cannot have any contact with your mom or Dylan, we don't want do endanger them."

"What about you?" she frowned.

"I have a loyal coworker who is with me at the office. Don't worry about me. Just worry about healing and staying safe."

She nodded sadly and he saw her trying to sit up. The wolf growled and she growled right back as she sat up and shifted so she was propped against the wolf's side. Jack walked over to her and she pulled him into a hug.

"Take care of yourself, dad," she whispered in his ear and he pulled back to look at her in surprise. She nodded to him, letting a small smile grace her face as she leaned back against the wolf's side. "I hope that my vacation cover will convince everyone that is wondering about me." She emphasized everyone and Jack nodded.

"Dakota take care of her," Jack said uncomfortably to the wolf who nodded his head once before nuzzling Leo's cheek once then laying his head back down on the bed. Jack touched her cheek once before standing up and following the twins and Felicia out of the room and back up to the main level. "Will she be alright here?"

"Jack, she'll be safer here than anywhere else," Andrew put his hand on his shoulder. "Todd will be with Dylan and Felicia will watch over Anna. We'll make sure your safe. It was never our intention for those men to come after Leo. This is our area of expertise; I promise you that we'll take care of everything."

Jack nodded and bid the family farewell before going out and getting in his car and driving home.

"Jack, where is Leo?" Dylan came down the stairs annoyed.

"Did she not tell you? She went on a small vacation out of state and left last night around 9:00pm. She never did say where she was going, but I'm sure she'll be back soon."

"She hasn't answered any texts from me or anyone at school…"

"Must be in a No Service area," Jack shrugged before entering his office and discretely sliding Leo's iPhone into his drawer, making sure it was turned off as Dylan entered the room.

"Why would she just leave?"

"She's not the type of girl who really tells people things since she has become more independent. You need to learn that she won't always confide in you even though you were always there for her. She is growing up into a beautiful woman, stop being such a worry-wart," Anna spoke as she came into the room and kissed Dylan's cheek. "Relax Dylan, she'll be perfectly fine."

Jack nodded but was internally yelling at himself because he knew the truth. There was a great threat against Leo and he didn't know what exactly would happen to her. She would most likely rebel at one point, complaining about not having any privacy or space while having to have someone with her at all times. Then if that happened and she escaped the Nelson's place, what would happen next?

There were just too many questions and not enough answers.
