Chapter 4 - Hailey

“I got the job!” I exclaimed as soon as I got home.

My mother was sitting at the dinner table with her laptop, most likely looking for work herself. It had been two weeks since we moved here. Gabriella wasn’t planning to look for work, wanting to be a stay-at-home wife and—in the future—a mom for her and Tobias’ pups. Waverly was a seamstress, and she had her own business sewing plushies and fursuits for people interested in that sort of thing. It was a lot of work but brought her a lot of joy and steady money. Laurene was looking for a job as a cosmetologist but hadn’t found anything yet. I hoped Mom would find good-paying work in her profession—she was a pharmacist. She was looking for openings in the area. It was bound to take her a while to find something, but I was sure she would, excellent as she was at her job. And Aunt Evangeline had a nice pension after her husband’s death, so she didn’t need to work.

It was actually surprising to me that I was the first of us three to be hired somewhere. And it was even more shocking that I had found such a great opportunity. Not only would I be able to work in a high-class restaurant, but after hearing what Silas Petterson wanted to pay me, I had almost fainted.

He asked me if the salary was enough, his tone serious as if the money he offered me was a small sum. I, of course, agreed to the amount. With the money, I could easily support my family, and I would have plenty left to buy myself simple pleasures like jewelry or to save up for a car and my own apartment in the future. I didn’t plan to live with my family all my life. It was simply easier for Mom when I was around, so I stayed. However, eventually, I wanted my own place. I would still send money to help Mom financially, but I would try to live more for myself… One day, I told myself, one day, I would.

My mom closed her laptop and got up. She enveloped me in a tight hug, patting my head. As always, she said nothing—she was a woman of few words.

I made myself a cup of coffee, took a cookie from the jar, and sat down at the table. Mom returned to looking through job boards. I wanted to just sit together with her for a while in comfortable silence.

However, I wasn’t halfway through my cup when the entrance door was unlocked, and in came Aunt Evangeline, chatting loudly. “Of course, you are most welcome here. Make yourself at home.” Behind her, I saw no one other than Paul, the neighbor’s son.

As my aunt and Paul removed their coats and sat down next to us, I noted that Paul was, in fact, a very handsome wolf shifter. He had broad shoulders and looked like he spent a lot of time at the gym.
