"I see."

Dawson eased a little. "Our pack members work as CEOs, lawyers, engineers and even researchers." His chest swelled with pride. "I, too, work with several financial advisors. Investing in shares and land helps us in many ways that we cannot explain. I mean, humans might be weak, but they are quite smart when it comes to making money.

But he could notice the tightness around her smile. There was something wrong with the look in her eyes and her smell—it was deceptive. "I hope that you will have a pleasant stay."
