was going to work, even though Luke had not shown up yet, that night was supposed to be practi

us "Oh my mama is gone now, she left peacefully, and I was able to bury her in a place where she had always wanted with the money you kept sending to us, we always get the money, and they never came late. When I reached out to the accountant, he told me that you always set aside the money to be paid to me, I never got a chance to thank you all those times, so I am here saying thank you and I am pledging my loyalty to you " She said, and really demonstrating it, she stood up and bowed down before me, I was immediately taken aback, the rest were looking at us now, I had only done that because I knew they would need the money and I know how it feels having money one day, and then no having money the next, it might make someone who is unable to work but taking care of her agile mother think so much that it might affect their health, I picked her up " Please stand up, I am really appreciative of all this but I don't think this is necessary, I don't need you to pledge your loyalty to me because of that " She stood up, she is a lovely woman, and her smile bright. "I know I don't have to, but I want to, I have been meaning to get to you, But I couldn't, there were people around you all the time," She said and I thought of the irony of that, I am left with no one now. Then I suddenly remembered " What are you doing here? What did you do? " "Nothing, I did nothing, I just volunteered, I thought it would be better to be away from here, than stay in this pack, I have tried to get some work since my mama died instead of waiting for the money you always bring in, I wanted to just work, I didn't want to feel worthless, I don't have any family around here, so there is really no reason for me to stay here. Nobody would give me any job, they keep saying that I am too old and I would not be able to do most of the work, but we both know that that's not really the only reason, they just don't want me to do anything to tarnish their image " She said smiling, maybe she has already gotten used to her own fate like I am used to mine too. Or maybe she is just trying to look at the bigger picture. "You made all of us have hope again, we were able to get visits from the Alpha when you started coming, it had never happened before, and you gave hope to a lot of people. He never showed up before you started coming to visit us. You don't have to apologize for anything., you did more than enough " she said. At the mention of Adrian, my wounds opened again, I had thought that they said out of sight was out of mind, but now that was not also working. Even though I don't feel like I used to feel about him anymore, his face is still clear in my mind. . . And the face of the sick bitch he had cheated on me with. " But why did you volunteer? I think there is more than enough and better than going to the Lycan
