Last February
“I don’t see why I can’t go to work by myself.” I trailed after the three wolves as they walked around the outside of my house and made disapproving noises.
Roman, the one who ran Lupine Moon, the security company owned by Alpha Rafferty’s pack, scoffed.
“It’s easy to stop a car in traffic, and after you park, you’ll be at your most distracted, trying to make it to work on time, greeting coworkers, all that.
It’s even worse when you’re tired at the end of your shift. ”
“Fine. But why does someone have to sit in the hospital during my shift? It’s not like they’ll see anything if I get kidnapped off the Pediatrics floor.” It wasn’t like I was paying them, so shouldn’t they want to do this the most efficient way possible?
He shrugged. “Maybe. We’ll evaluate it after a week or so. Now, we can’t get the fencing around the front yard here until next Tuesday, but the security system will be installed tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Like I had a choice. Half of me wanted to resent Rafferty and Elton’s interference in my life, and the other half was grateful. I would feel safer with all the security around me.
Cassandra, who with her brother Harrison made up the rest of the Lupine Moon team Rafferty had sent over today, indicated the grass. “Alpha Mate Elton said you didn’t have someone to mow your yard. We have a bunch of teenagers who can do that for you. Say, every two weeks?”
What the hell kind of full-service pack was this? “Um, sounds good. But I’m paying for that.”
She smiled. “The kids get paid either way, but sure. We can invoice you.”
Harrison bounced on his toes. “I’m taking the first shift with you. Let me know when you’re ready to go to work.”
