“I’ll speak to her myself, regarding that. But I don’t see her doing that. If she was willing to be treated here inside the pack, she would have called Chester and told him where she was and asked to be transferred already, don’t you think, son?… it’s also unlikely she’ll just agree to you bringing her in. So, I suggest you put your most charming smile on and sweet talk the girl.”
He couldn’t argue with any of that, so he just nodded. “I will go and retrieve her,” he stated, and turned for the door.
“Don’t even think of setting foot inside this pack, Jared, without her. You can come back when she does. Now that we know where she is.”
He held in the snarl that was trying to escape him and ran a hand through his hair as he walked from the packhouse. That man surely did have a bee in his bonnet for this rogue she-wolf. He put a call to Dwane, “Father wants her brought into the pack today. I’m also not allowed inside the pack unless I am bringing her in with me.”
“Do you foresee it as a problem? I’m just about to walk in the door.”
“Yes, and so does father, so I give you full permission to claim she’s family to have that hospital release her into your care. She’s never going to state I’m her kin, was fully ticked off when I put her out of my car.”
“Alright, it took me an hour to get out here and a few detours on the way, so just let me know when you arrive, and I’ll let you know how it goes. Will she need patient transport or do you think they’ll let us just put her in the car and take her away?”
“I don’t know, assess that when we see how bad she is, she had emergency surgery and got some other injuries listed out as well. But it’s been what? Four days post-operative. She should be well enough to walk out the door, or I hope so.”
He cut the call and made his way to the pack hospital and collected a copy of that patient transfer form before getting into his car. As he got in, the pack doctor called out to him, and he looked at him. “Yes Gordon?”
“Your father stated I’d better go as well, in case there is trouble with having her released.”
“Hope in,” Jared stated, and they were gone a few minutes later.
He pulled up outside a nice looking private hospital out in the countryside and read the sign, Hill’s Private, Memorial Hospital, He could see it wasn’t just a hospital there was a whole medical complex here, that had its own ED and GP services. One part of it was for public access and the other was for private patients.
They walked into the building after he mind-linked to Dwane “How’d it go?”
‘Difficult. She is a stubborn she-wolf, that is for sure. She refused to acknowledge me as her family, stated I was a stranger and had me removed from her ward by the nurse, threatened to have the nurse call security.”
‘Right.’ So it was as his father was expecting.
‘It is true though, Jared, you can’t really blame her. She’s never seen me before. She, being wolf-less, might not even be able to detect a pack scent, but it didn’t take long for her to realize I was a wolf. Though I made sure to mention Uncle Edward to her Huh?” He was a bit confused by that.
She’s in a four-bed ward, got two humans in there with her.”
“Oh, alright”
“I did tell the nurse she was my sister, and is upset there was a family dispute, and she’s now just being stubborn about it. Played the whole super wealthy family drama, and she was, well, a spoiled rich girl having a tantrum so to speak.”
“How’d that go down?”
I don’t think she believes me. Wynta asked I prove we were related and, well, I couldn’t.”
He let the link go and he and the pack doctor walked to the ward. He left both of them out there to talk to the nurse and then walked into the ward to look at Wynta himself. She was sitting in her bed wearing a hospital gown and her eyes moved towards him, and he smiled at her. “Afternoon Wynta, I’m glad to see you okay,” he stated.
She stared at him but said nothing at all, and he knew she had to be upset with him, for being left alone on that road and then washed away. She was in here because of him. “Firstly, I’d like to apologize for putting you out of my car.” He told her as he pulled up a chair to sit next to her bed. “With no jacket at that. I’m sorry, I didn’t know you needed one.”
She raised an eyebrow at him and then just turned her face away from him to look out the window. He let it go; he could see the bruising on her arms and there was also one to the side of her face. “I am here to bring you to Cedar Rapid Hospital for proper treatment of your injuries. You’ll have the best care there, I assure you.”
She shook her head as if dismayed by him. “Are you also my brother?” she asked without looking at him.
“No, just your bosses concerned son, here to arrange your transport. The company will, of course, be paying all the medical bills seeing as you were injured at a company event. But father is insisting you be treated by his doctor.”
“I’m not interested in going to the company hospital.” Her eyes finally moved to him. “The doctors and nurses here are doing a great job, they treat me well, with respect and are knowledgeable, saved my life, so.” she shrugged. “I see no need to change hospitals.”
He frowned at her now and thought about that, what his father had said to him and knew how to fix this. “Father stated he understands he is insisting, and it will not be a part of the deal you two have. That will start once again, after your treatment has been attended to, and you’ve returned to your apartment.”
