Everly POV
I worked on this mural all morning, and I finally had the sign arriving today. So when dad and mum left after lunch, I headed back over to the shelter when I got the text message saying the sign was ready to be placed. The meeting with my parents went well, but the pack's finances were destroyed.
Dad was using loans to pay off loans which only gave him more debt, and I had to think of a way to absolve all the debt. I was in over my head and with Valen not speaking to me, I didn't know anyone that could help without selling off the pack assets.
What savings I did have weren't enough to cover the debt and the Hotel, and I wasn't about to ask Valen for the money. Then there was the contract between my father and Nixon, who held the pack as collateral to the debt my father owed
