Thank you.” I smiled as we walked out of yet another stor. I was exhausted, but we still had more stops to make. I looked at everything in my hands: my new sheets, blankets, pillows. Everything we threw away, we had replaced. Except for my bed. “I’m tired, my head hurts, and I’m-”

“Whining.” My mom finished. But she smiled. “We just need to get you a new mattress and get the old one hauled away.”

“Plus, finish the laundry and get the carpets cleaned.” I pointed out. She closed her eyes.

“I forgot.” She stretched out her back and tied her hair up. Now, let’s finish this part up. I still need to fix dinner.”

“Why don’t we just order food? Morgan and Shannon will survive a day of take out.” My mom rolled her eyes and I watched as she bobbed her head back and forth. Then she decided. –

“Fine. You’re right.” She gave a final nod. “We will grab pizza and they can just suck it up.”

“Yes!” I pumped my arm and pulled her into the mattress store. I wanted this day finished so I could curl up in my fresh bed. We walked around for exactly five seconds before a salesperson came up and within another twenty, we were walking out, with a delivery time of an hour. “Werewolf business’s rock. If this was a human store, it would be days until I could get my new bed.”

“Yeah, well, they only help the neighbouring packs, so they have an easier time.” My mom pulled me to toward the exit. “Let’s go grab the pizza. I still have that mountain for clothes to do.”

“Ugh. Don’t remind me.” I wilted thinking about those clothes. I jumped into the driver’s seat and started my Jeep as my mom put everything in the back. I waited until she got in before I handed her the card Vince gave us. “I don’t want to use them. Mainly because Vince gave us their card, but I also want to wipe out my actual scent completely.”

She grunted as she took the card and called as I drove. “Hellb. Yes, do you have availability today? One room. Yes, bedroom. Alpha Vince gave us your card. Oh, you can. Perfect.” I listened to her as she set up everything. Then she called in the pizza. I headed to the pizza place, but she pointed to a different parking lot.

“What?”

My mom touched her lips as she finished the order. I pulled into the parking lot and waited for her to tell me what we were doing here. She hit end and turned to me. “The carpet guys tried to give me the runaround until I told them Vince gave us the card. Now, they will be at the house in an hour.”

“Okay?”

“The pizza will be ready in twenty minutes.” She opened the door, but I grabbed her.

“Okay, but why are we here?” I pointed to the strip mall.

“We need descenting spray.”

“Right…” I was apparently dumb because that didn’t seem like the answer to my question. I twirled my hand.” What does that have to do with the strip mall with a nail salon, a survival store, and what looks to be a tex–mex restaurant?”

“Amy…where do you think descenting spray comes from?”

“Same place where we get laundry stuff from. Walker’s.” Walker’s is the werewolf community’s version of a superstore. They had everything.

“No baby. Descenting spray is made for hunting parties and survivalists. It’s to stop rogues from smelling you. She opened her door again and waved me out of the car. “Come meet Carl.” We walked to a store with blacked–out windows.

“Who the hell is Carl?”

She just laughed as she walked into the survival store, Wildwood Survival. “Hey Carl.”
