Three Months Later
Beau wasn’t a fool. He knew none of his pack were cooking the delicious food he’d been eating for the past week.
On Monday morning, he sent the whole pack out to the ranch, and then waited as Eloise did her job. She drove into the front of the ranch house, parked, and began to hoist bags of groceries into his kitchen.

Once all the bags were in the kitchen, she removed her jacket, rolled up her sleeves, and got to work putting everything away. He also noticed she put labels on certain foods.
Before long, she’d unloaded the groceries and he noticed there were no vegetables or meat, or a lot of other things.
