his own diagnosis." Anna's lips curved at the corner as if she'd just eaten a sweet.
"Of course. What about the patients here? Sheila Heights and a few of the others can't be moved. Will my esteemed colleague examine them as well?" She forced her beast down, ignoring the howl of indignation rising in her throat over the slight.
Anna's eyes widened and then she shrugged. "Perhaps. There are so many new cases it may be a while before he comes to the clinic." She paused. "My office has moved there as well, if you need anything that's where you can reach me."
"Does that mean I'm not moving to the new clinic even though I've been working on these cases since the outbreak?" She needed to hear the bitch say it. All the BS about pack sticking together and total acceptance of half-breeds was a lie from where she stood.
Anna's cheeks reddened. "No, we need you to take care of the patients here, as you said, they can't be moved. As far as you working the cases, with your notes Dr. Conner is more than qualified to handle the new ones, but if he needs a consult he'll contact you." She turned and walked down the hall, the click of her heels on the concrete floor loud in the empty hall.
Gem watched a few more seconds and then shook her head. There were more important things than futile discussions with Anna, plus growing up in a home where she was ignored and undervalued, Gem’s “forget you bitch” shield solidified.
As long as she had a job working with pack she wouldn't complain. The thrashing and clanging sound from the bed behind her grabbed her attention. Sheila Heights pulled on the metal restraints while arching her back into the air. Gem moved to the foot of the metal bed, and looked at Sheila's medical tablet to see when she'd last received medication. Twenty minutes. When she’d first started Sheila on the meds, the relief lasted four hours. Watching the woman's misery pierced her heart. They couldn't lose another patient. The door to the ward opened and she looked over her shoulder to see Damian in the doorway. Her heart hammered in her chest when their gazes met. Her gaze flicked over the magnificent full-blood warrior with dark eyes and hair as he walked with fluid grace toward her.
"Doctor." He nodded and looked at Sheila. "How's she doing?"
"The same." She looked at the tablet and then replaced it in the holder. "Worse. Her body has acclimated to the medication. She's miserable."
"But alive. I've met someone, a human named Ivona, who says she put a curse on Height." He went on to explain his encounter with the female and her claims.
Gem's eyes widened as she nodded slowly. "Explains the unexplainable. Science can only take us so far I suppose. Did she mention any roots or herbs she used? Maybe we can--"
"No, she didn't. She's willing to make a trade." He told her Ivona's demands and La Patron's agreement.
"What?" She looked at Sheila and then back at him. "She started this to get someone rescued?" All the pain and suffering her patients experienced was because this brat wanted them to rescue her mom?
He nodded and stood with his hands shoved down his pockets. "We leave in the morning."
"That's... that's unbelievable. I don't know what to say."
" Dr. Okla ?" Alpha Bartholomew said through their link.
She spun away from Damian and walked a few feet away. " Sir?"
"I'm sending you along with the KnightForce Agent Damian Farkas and the human witch to retrieve her mother. La Patron is concerned the female may try to infect Damian or use other medicinal tricks on our kind during the trip. Your true mission is to gleam any information from the witch that may assist the team back in the states working to find an antidote to this heinous malady."
"Yes, Sir. " She glanced over her shoulder at Damian, who met her gaze and nodded. No doubt Alpha had told him of this communication. " I'll prepare my files for Dr. Conner and be prepared to leave in the morning."
"Excellent. Take the rest of the evening to gather what
