“Hey, Babe. Where’s Grace? She’s pissed and scared.” Evan rolled over to look at me.
I sighed. “They won’t let me into her room and threw me out of the Omega Ward. I think it was the Office of Designation Management questioning her because she was yelling about Rosalind being dead.”
Brennan nodded. “I’ll go and check on her soon. I’ve been trying to see if we can get the pack paperwork expedited.”
“Really?” While that was a good idea, I was surprised that he’d do that.
“It seems like so many problems could have been circumvented by her being in a pack.” He exhaled sharply.
“It’s okay to be cautious, Honey. We had no idea that all of this would happen.” Jett gave Brennan a squeeze.
I saw some snack wrappers on the table. “Is there a cafeteria here? Should we get something to eat?”
If I just sat here, I might try to break into the Omega Ward again. I couldn’t help Grace if I ended up in a holding cell.
“I ordered pizza. It’s coming.” Riley looked up at me.
“How do you order pizza to a hospital?” I blinked.
“Wouldn’t you like to know?” Riley smirked.
Not knowing what else to do, I sat on the bed with Evan and Spencer, sending love to Evan. Of course, this would devastatehim. While they weren’t mated, he and Spencer were best friends.
“Hi. Please tell me that this is Grace’s room?” Atallwoman, with dark hair, and blue-green eyes, in heels and a lab coat, stood in the doorway, holding a plant.
“Um, no, Doctor?” I blinked at her.
She laughed. “Okay, it’s Spencer’s then? The desk person was being weird with me.”
“I’m sorry, you are?” Brennan stood, frowning.
“Hi, I’m Verity. I’m not Dr. Thorne yet, but I will be in a couple of years. Though I’m a plant geneticist, not a medical doctor. I’m Grace’s little sister. I haven’t met any of you yet,” she explained.
Little? She was like six-feet tall and in her early-to-mid-twenties. Unlike the other siblings I’d met, she bore no resemblance to Grace. Though that didn’t mean anything, other than someone else in the pack was her bio-dad.
Riley looked up from her phone. “Hi.”
“Hi. Are you Riley?” She smiled.
“The one and only.” Riley nodded.
“Mercy was texting me all about you. I brought Grace an omega lily. It’s from my latest batch.” Verity put the potted flower on the table.
“You make omega lilies?” I asked. Omega lilies were a traditional mating gift for omegas. Evan forgot his in a box, and it died.
She laughed. “I do. You know the stories about omega lilies making happy homes? Well, omega lilies actually contain chemicals in them that make people happy. I’m genetically engineering them to be even happier.”
“You make happy flowers? Nice.” Evan sat up.
“I’m Brennan. This is Jett. That’s Wes. Evan’s on the bed with Spencer. Um, what are you doing here?” Brennan asked.
“I wanted to make sure that she was okay. What happened was awful.” She bit her pink lower lip. “I can’t believe Mom did that to her. To him. Also, I needed to get out of the house.” Her look went pained.
Yeah. The past couple of days' events might cause some household disharmony that flowers couldn’t fix.
“Mercy also said that she’d meet me here and wanted a ride home.” Verity looked around.
Riley moved the plant from the table to the bedstand. “It’s a pretty plant. I love the container.”
