Chapter 17

“I got quite the dressing down from my pack-master last night,” Corbin reported to me the next morning. He had showed up again for an early morning visit complete with breakfast. I was going to have to run to the market soon if he kept popping up after a shift. I was nearly out of eggs and the orange juice container was feeling a little light. I was going to have to get creative if he showed up again before I did some shopping.

“I hope you did not come here looking for sympathy,” I told him while flipping over the six pancakes that were currently cooking on the griddle, “because you are about to get another earful from me.” I was ticked that I was now going to be looking over my shoulder to make sure there weren’t any Lenape wolves around every time I was having a tense moment with Liam McCallister. Since we were nearly always having a tense moment, it was guaranteed to cause a problem sooner rather than later.

“My wolf just wants to protect you,” he tried explaining. “We both love you like a sister.”

“Honey, I love you too.” Softening a little I ruffled his hair before setting a steaming stack of food in front of him. “But…” I stretched out the word. “This scent marking business is going to make my life a little tricky.” If my life got any trickier, I was going to be in serious trouble.

“Why won’t you let me help more with whatever is going on with McCallister?”

“What McCallister expects from me is not something you should knowingly keep secret. I will not compromise your ethics unless I absolutely have to.”

“I still want to help.” He crossed his arms as he presented me with a stubborn stare.

“I know you do and you are helping. You’re my lawyer.” We sat in silence while Corbin went back to inhaling his food, each of us stewing on our own thoughts.

Corbin’s head popped up as if a light bulb went off. “What if I could arrange someone to help that I guarantee will not report details back to me?” I could tell by the eagerly hopeful look on his face that he believed he had a good candidate.

“I can handle it,” I mulishly refused.

“Don’t you mean that you and Samantha can handle it? She knows what is going on I assume?” Uh oh. I think I had hurt his feeling by confiding more in Samantha than him.

“She only thinks she does,” I said carefully. “I have not confirmed any details.” I suddenly remembered something. “Hey, you also helped by getting Marsha to bring Francine and Jax on the play date.” I had spoken with her at the funeral yesterday. We planned to get the kids together tomorrow at the park as long as I got approval from McCallister. I texted Lok with the details last night but had yet to hear back.

“Yeah, she told me you guys are meeting at the park tomorrow. And it isn’t like I had to twist her arm.
