    Chapter Four


    Ryley


    I was finishing stuffing my clothes into myst suitcase. Thest two weeks flew by and now it was the


    day we leave for our home for the summer. Channing was over the moon when Mr. Miller delivered my


    bonus personally. And even though I was happy to give my son something he’s been wanting and


    working hard for, my stomach twisted painfully. If I’m discovered, there will be noing back. I’d been


    running from that life for seventeen years and now I was about to


    move into the wolf’s den.


    I sighed as I ced the suitcase on the floor and sat down on the edge of my bed. I regretted my


    decision as soon as I epted Mr. Millers‘ offer. And I was hoping Alpha Orion wouldn’t agree to my


    demands. So imagine my


    disappointment when Isaac came back to my officeter that day to get the exact date of when we


    could relocate and the details for the car. I should have been more demanding. I know The Orion pack


    is wealthy and I should have used that, But I wasn’t that person to demand money. It wasn’t about the


    money, it was about my simple life with my son.


    I took in a deep breath as I tried to swallow down my fears.


    “Mom, you ready?” Channing asked from the doorway of my bedroom.


    “Ready,” I answered, taking another deep breath.


    “Everything will be fine, Mom. I won’t let anything happen to

    you,” Channing said, giving me a side hug, as I stood up from the bed.


    “It’s not me I’m worried about. And I’m the parent here. I should be reassuring you.” I told him and he


    chuckled.


    “I’ll always have your back, Mom. I’ll take your bag out and you can lock up the house,” he squeezed


    me tight before picking up my suitcase and leaving my room. Channing has always been the boy to see


    the ss as half full and never half empty. He was so full of life and enjoyed the unknown. I, on the


    other hand, feared not knowing. Thest seventeen years have always been me not knowing how I


    was going to feed him, clothe him, or even how I was going to pay rent. I liked being in control.


    I spent a few minutes going into every room to make sure nothing was forgotten. When I was satisfied


    everything was either off or locked, I locked the front door. Channing was already sitting behind the


    wheel of his car with the music ring. I made eye contact with him before climbing behind the wheel


    of my SUV. It was packed full of all of our things. After finding a song I like, I started the four–hour drive


    with Channing following behind me. The further I drove from home, the house I worked so hard to buy,


    the further my stomach sunk. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something bad was about to happen.


    I was thankful my windows were heavily tiniest as I pulled up in front of the Orion’s pack house. I


    needed a moment to gather myself and to calm my nerves before exposing who I was. A lone wolf. I


    was in the middle of deep breathing when my phone rang through the speakers. Blowing out a breath, I


    answered,

    “Miss Halliwell, this is Mr. Dillinger. I need your help with a matter of a personal nature.” He said. I had


    worked on his ounts before, for hispany, but never personally.


    “Of course, Mr. Dillinger, what can I do for you?” I asked him.


    “I need you to go over my personal finances. I believe my wife isn’t being truthful and I need to prove


    it.” He sighed.


    “I’m already on a case but if you could email everything you’d like me to review, I can try to get it back


    to you by Monday evening,” I told him.


    “Thank you, Miss Halliwell. Mr. Miller told me you were relocating for the summer and offered for


    someone else to handle this matter but I trust you. I know you are the best.”


    “Thank you for your trust and understanding. I’m sorry for your circumstances,” I told him, sincerely. I


    only know him professionally, but he seems like a good man. He pays his employees well. And the


    turnover of his employees is very low. He can’t be that bad if his employees are loyal.


    “Keep me posted.” He said before ending the call.


    I’m never getting any sleep this weekend. I sent Isaac a text to let him know that I would be looking into


    the matter for Mr. Dillinger. My phone chimed, alerting me to an unread email. Mr. Dillinger had sent me


    over everything he wanted me to


    review.


    I ced my phone in the center console before going back to my breathing.

    “Let’s get this over with,” I breathed out before opening the door and stepping out of my SUV.
