Chapter Eighteen

Craig

Three days. I had spent three days living in the woods. I didn’t mind running through the woods as a wolf, but bug bites on my human form was not my idea of a good time. My old Pack had become a group of nomads. They couldn’t stay in one place. Harvesting wasn’t only profitable, it was dangerous. Really, anything that pays well is.

My knowledge of finances and work with offshore accounts wasn’t something I figured out on my own. Over the last few days, I caught glimpses of my father using some of the same programs I’d used with the Hart Clan. The money was funneled away for later. They were washing their riches clean with undisclosed accounts and enough laundering that when they did finally use it, that cash would be spic and span.

Living in the woods helped the Pack stay off the grid while they were harvesting. It helped them live without being tied down. It also helped them stash away some serious cash.

The camping was temporary. Part of the way to stay off the grid with harvesting was to work in waves. The Alakin Pack was stockpiling right now. They had so many witches at the moment because they said they were getting ready to retire for the season. As the kids ran around chewing on each other until blood was drawn, I had to wonder if they could blend back in with society again.

My parents needed members of their Pack to do the dirty work now. Something sick in my stomach told me that they may be working with a disposable group. These were their workers. The workers were cut off from every monetary advantage. That couldn’t be a coincidence.

The Pack members work with meager clothing, and live off the land with ease. They could survive and in their own way thrive without the money they were earning, but someone was getting rich by using them. Looked like it was my parents.

There were lots of other werewolf Packs, and vampire Families who were heavy hitters in the harvester world, but the Alakin Pack had an advantage the others didn’t. Not only were they harvesting witches, they used witch magic to disguise themselves. Their spelled garments keep them from being sensed by supernaturals, and using magical spells would calm their targets. What witch would suspect another of her kind in a harvest? This all added up to reduced damage, and put their witches at a premium on the market.

“You work with a human? That’s…interesting.” It was easy to inject an element of disgust in my voice. But it wasn’t working with humanity that made my lip curl; it was the way they used human cattle to create their living.

The Pack was gathered around a campfire. I wasn’t allowed near the witches, but I was permitted to join by the fire for meals. Bringing in meat to cook over the fire didn’t hurt either. By the way the pups attacked what I brought in, it was easy to see that food was not what my former Pack had in its priority.
