Vanessa's visit is a welcome distraction from Selene's refusal to come out from beneath the bed.
She's searched thoroughly, even her bag of medical supplies, before Marcus allows her to step foot into my room, as if she hasn't been one of my biggest supporter ince stepping onto Westwood lands. "Looks like security's been upgraded," she says with a laugh. "I owe Vester dinner."
"Dinner?" Watching as she slides the blood pressure cuff over my arm, I smile faintly. "Did you guys have a bet?"
"We always have a bet going. I usually win. Uncross your legs and relax your arms."
A quick check of all my vitals has her nodding in approval. "Still doing good. Did you get any check-ups done while you were back on pack lands?"
"Nope."
"Of course you didn't." She snaps my file closed with a sigh. "Kellan should have thought about it while you were there, but with. everything going on... Mmm. I can see how it would be missed." The entire pack is in an uproar. I've barely seen Lucas in two days.

Yes, Selene offers up from her place beneath the bed, as Vanessa finishes violating my mouth with her
ressor.
After swallowing a few times and moistening my mouth, I mutter, "Selene says yes."
"We'll keep an eye on it. Hopefully you aren't about to come down with a cold or anything." There's a dubious note to Vanessa's voice, and I remember that she's a healer to shifters. They don't get things like colds. Or illness in general.
Injury-related issues, sure.
