She broke away from her dad as she crossed the threshold, moving initially towards the storeroom-turned-infirmary until a scent she didn't recognise hit her. It was coming from the kitchen.
Her injured leg still wasn't taking her weight, but she managed to limp halfway down the corridor and stopped, eyes closed, trying to identify the person on the other side of the wall. The storm howled in her ears as she tried to concentrate, rattling the window panes in adjacent rooms and making it even harder to think. The smell itself was hard to place her finger on.
Not Pack, but not totally alien either. Familiar.
She edged further along the wall, leaning on the strength of the walls as she slipped along, eventually managing to get far enough to peer around the doorway and into the vast kitchen.
And it hit her. The child - it was a child sitting in Skylar's kitchen, she realised with confusion - smelt faintly of Jason, even more faintly of the pack, but most of Wolf. The child reeked of Wolf. She wondered how long the kid had been lurking around underneath their noses. Jason was sure smart enough to keep a kid hidden from the pack. And knowing his dislike of the pack, she could even see why he'd be reluctant to trust her family. But where the hell had Jason picked up a kid from? Was she a relative, somehow?
"Hello?"
She limped forward, jumping when a huge grey form appeared at her side and pressed its back to her hip, leaning gratefully onto the sturdy frame of the beta's wolfhound as she appeared at her side. She half-expected the dog to lunge - aside from herself, the dog's mistress and Adam, the dog would bite anything that moved - but it stayed where it was, looking up at the kid with an unintelligible intent.
"What are you doing here? You're with Jay, aren't you? He left you here?"

"Adam, please." She moved forward, just a little, levelling herself with Sebastian.
"They need help. And so do we! We can't just leave them out in the rain? What if Alpha Gregory had just left Alphaess Mette out in the rain? What if we'd left you in the rain? Where would we be then?"
She knew she'd gone too far, as soon as the words left her mouth, quickly averting her eyes, lowering her head and taking a half-step back as the detestable Omega instincts kicked in. But she didn't stop. With her face tilted slightly downwards and the rain, now pouring down in a glacial torrent, dripping down her face, she pleaded in a low voice with the male in front of her.
"Please let me get these guys inside. On my head be it, Mister Hale. Please."
