I stood there anxiously, waiting for what mother had to say.
She had turned down the offer so many times for no explicit reason other than she wanted to stay and work on her own.
Working under the pack house meant she probably wouldn't help other people.
Only strictly members of the pack.
"If I do agree to work in the pack." Mother began as if reading my mind. "I want to know that I would be allowed to help heal other people who aren't in the pack."
Martha took in a very deep breath.
After about a minute. "I'll run it by the pack Lycan and see what he has to say. But I assure you I'll do my best tot make sure he insists."
Mother seemed skeptical.
I gently walked up to her and took her by the arm, guiding her aside.
"Mother, we need this." I urged.
"The entire house won't even be able to cover the one million your father gambled." She said a hint of anger very much in her voice.
