Walter drove them home quietly. No one dared to speak a word to break the tension that had settled over all of them. Even Ruth was quiet. They were running out of money, they all knew.

And now?

Now they had no safety net. No rich family member to bail them out of their debts or feed their addictions Not anymore.

Walter pulled into the driveway and put the car in park. No one got out yet. His fingers drummed along the steering wheel, his gaze glazed over as he thought. Matthew’s hand twitched near the handle but he didn’t want to risk drawing attention right now.

Not when his own habits had never made their money situation any better.

Ruth sighed. “Well.” She looked at Walter. “What are we going to do?”

Walter looked out the front window at the house before them. It was a nice house. Big. Much too

expensive for them now. He shook his head.

“I don’t know.”

“She’s probably out there, rolling in money from those donations she’s getting for her foundation,” Ruth

ground out.

Matthew crossed his arms awkwardly with his sling, glaring out the window. “If only we could take her

money.”

Walter straightened. “Wait a minute.”

They looked to him.

Alpha’s seat during their marriage.”

“And…?” Ruth prompted.

“Well, we deserve some of that money. For everything we did to help the Alpha’s seat. A percentage of

that check she must have gotten is owed to us.”

A wide smile spread across Ruth’s face. “It would! Wouldn’t it?”
