“Ri, get changed, take Rose with you.” Jett got between me and the other omega. He turned to her. “Go away, Caroline.”
Caroline?Riley mouthed as she left.
Unfortunately.
An alpha in a suit got between us and glared, copper scent flaring, then turned to her. “Is there a problem?” he drawled.
Caroline’s red lips smirked. “I’ve changed my mind. Let’s go someplace more… discriminating.” Taking her alpha’s arm, she waved, her small hand festooned in large rings. “See you around, boys. Give Bren my love.”
Jett put his arm around me, sending comfort through the bond. “Are you okay?”
“I am.” But while I might not feel like being angry at her anymore, Brennan certainly did.

“What do you mean nothing can be done?” I exploded as I paced my office. “She’shere.She shouldn’t be here.”
“You can’t ban Caroline from the city. The alpha she’s with is here on legitimate business. Also, she’sfromhere,” Katie replied over the phone.
“Shespoke to Evan.” How dare she? That bitch exploited my feelings for her, emotionally damaged my omega, and then tried to ruin my pack, business, and reputation.
No. After everything she did to Evan, I didn’t want her near him. The audacity!
“It’s not like she showed up at your house. They were at the mall. They’re leaving tomorrow. Legally you can’t do anything,” she added. “She’s allowed to exist.”
Not here.I took a deep breath. Sometimes I regretted taking the moral high road.
“She ruined my life,” I retorted. I was over her, but not the damage that she caused.
The pack group chat lit up on my phone.
Evan
Not making it to the hospital tonight. Can someone please make sure Wes and Grace get food?
Me
The hospital will give her food. Wes can get his own.
Wes sent an emoji of the bird.
Spencer
I can stop by with dinner.
I also got an alert from the door cam. A photo of a woman with a bunch of sacks popped up.Anotherdelivery?
“Caroline’s a bitch, and releasing a sex-tape was shitty,” my sister lectured, still on the phone with me. “So was draining your accounts. But it’s been nearly three years. You got some of the money back. Your career and reputation recovered. Evan isfine. Your pack is fine. Well, except for you, apparently. Maybe you should think about all the good things that are in your life instead of what’s bad.”
Ugh. I took another deep breath. “The timing is off with this Grace nonsense.”
“I’m not sure there ever is a right time for something like this, not that I’d call itnonsense.Mrs. Beekman really doesn’t like you. Mom won’t be happy if the Center decides you’re an unfit pack. Oh, you didn’t complete your action items,” she added.
“Fuck your action items, Katie.” I ended the call. While I did care for my twin, she also infuriated me. This was my pack, and I knew what was best. Not Katie. Not my mother. Me.
It was getting late. I might as well head home.
