The three of them stood up. Leah glanced around at her brothers and sister looking at her in worry. Her eyes met Grace first then she looked at second older brothers.
"She's absolutely fine", Charlie smiled softly.
"No scratches nothing, don't worry", Emmett said gently.
Grace smiled sadly seeing how concerned her little sister is for her as well. Leah nods exhaling deeply.
"David come one. Take a seat. You need rest", Sebastian said next leading him to the couch.
James and Chase move away making space for David to sit there.
"God I'm fine. Will you calm down?", David smiled softly.
Sebastian ignored him and sat beside him. He uncapped a tube of medicine in his hand and applied some of the cream on the bruise on David's forehead.
Leah was pulled into yet another hug. She realised it was Rowan and she exhales deeply hugging him back feeling calm.
"He's okay. They both are. Are you okay?", He whispered softly.
Leah nods her head resting on his shoulder.
"Good", Rowan sighs rubbing her back comfortingly.
He released her and caressed her head pushing back her hair with a caring smile on his face.
"Go get some water from the kitchen and grab something to eat please?", Rowan said softly.
Leah nods releasing a shaky breath. She walked away slowly heading to the kitchen, her head down.
Her brothers watch her leave. Wes and Theo immediately follow her.
Leah walked inside the empty kitchen. She headed for the fridge pulled out a bottle of water and slowly drank from it.
Once done she put it away and leaned her hands on the counter, closed her eyes and dipped her head. The pressure she went through was still in her. The effects of it making her feel exhausted.
A hand on her shoulder made her turn. She saw her eldest brothers looking at her with concerned eyes and she teared up immediately again leaning her back on the counter.
She bit her lip trying hard to not cry. But those two could see past her. Weston pulled her into a hug and Theo put his arms around the two.
Nothing had to be said. It was understood.
They stayed like that for a long minute until Leah calmed back down and they pulled back from the hug.
"We know you got scared. It must have been horrible. We get it", Theo said sadly.
Leah nods sniffing. "I didn't- I never thought I'll see this day. God I can't explain you two how much it scared me. Wes, Theo I can't - I really can't see them hurt or in danger. It's so fucking scary", She said shaking her head.
"I felt so helpless. No answers, no idea where they were, the blood- god", Leah breathed out.
Weston and Theo could completely understand what she went through. They have spent ten years feeling the same for each other.
"This is not all of a sudden is it? Luca's men behind it?", Leah asked after a second.
The two brothers sigh deeply.
"Yes", A voice came from the kitchen's entrance.
The three look towards it to see Dean, James and Chase walk in.
"Five men broke into the house and attacked David and Grace", Dean said seriously.
Chase nods crossing his arms. "Who else would it be."
