Chapter 11

Stacy followed the path her uncle had told her about. She’d not been there for many years and didn’t want to get lost on his property. It was the place she’d been told her mother and she had lived before her father had murdered her.

“It’s a small place she had. It was mine, see, and I wanted her to have something nice. Rich had nothing and was more than willing to take something for nothing from another wolf. He always acted as if he was supposed to get more than anyone else’s share.” She watched him stretch and noticed how much thinner he was, but his color was better.

“You let them live on your property? I did not know you had any.” She flushed when he smiled at her. “I am sorry. You were not a pauper when you came to this pack, I know.”

He took her hand and she held on. The table they were sitting at, in addition to the rest of the nicer furniture, made the larger cell look homier rather than prisonlike. He’d been told that he was safest in there rather than in a house where Rich could contact him.

“Did you ever wonder why you spoke so well? Never using contractions and speaking so softly?”

She shook her head.

“Your mother wanted you to be well thought of. She wanted only the best for you and when I found you a home to hide you away I looked for one that would give you the best education.”

She looked away from him, not wanting him to know that the man and woman she’d been with had beaten the way she’d spoken into her and she wondered even now if she’d ever be able to forget it. She looked back at him when he said her name.

“I am so sorry that you were hurt by them. I paid them…well, they were supposed to give you everything your mother could not. And look what happened to you.” He wiped at tears and she held his hand. “I failed so many people.”

She tried to comfort him, but he was still so weak. When he told her about the house and that he’d been keeping it for her, she decided to go and see if any memories were there yet. She found it about an hour after leaving his cell.

The place wasn’t run down nor was it in poor shape like she’d thought it would be. It was a two-story house that had a slate roof and a porch that went all the way around it. She walked up to the front door and used the key he’d given her. It slid in after a few tries and she went inside.

There was little furniture and what there was of it was covered with tarps. She removed them as she walked around the dusty room. Nothing with any padding would have survived, but the wooden couch and end tables sat in the room. There wasn’t any electricity now, but there were two lamps as well as a television that sat in one corner.
