The Wolf King's Luna novel Chapter 70

SKYLIGHT PACK

VANCE

I was sitting in my office, thinking a lot about Catherine. It was late in the day, and the sun was making long shadows on the floor. Suddenly, a guard came in looking disheveled.

"Alpha Vance, Tammy is ill. It seems like she inhaled too much of the silver gas," the guard explained with a worried look on his face.

"Lead the way," I said, getting up quickly.

We went through the big building to get to Tammy's cell room. The air felt heavy with worry as we walked.

As we approached Tammy's room, the guard opened the door, and there was Tammy, lying on the ground and looking lifeless.

"Let's get her to the healing house right away," I said as I picked her up. We hurried to the healing house, where our pack's healer could help her.

"I need your help, she's sick," I told the healer as we entered the healing house.

"I’ll do everything I can," the healer assured me as he began to tend to Tammy.

While the healer looked after Tammy, I couldn't stop thinking about Catherine. Where was she? Was she safe?

"Will Tammy be okay?" I asked the healer, my concern evident in my voice.

"I'm doing everything I can for her. She'll be okay," the healer responded with a reassuring smile.

I thanked the healer and was about to leave the healing house, my thoughts still lingering on Catherine and the guilt that enveloped me for rejecting her.

Cody approached me, his brows furrowed with worry, I guess he had been informed about his younger sister, his eyes darted between me and Tammy, who lay unconscious on the makeshift bed in the healer's tent. I could see the fear etched into his features, and I knew he was desperate for answers.

"What happened to her, Alpha Vance?" Cody's voice quivered with concern as he looked at Tammy, his hands clenched tightly at his sides.

I placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder and met his gaze. "She's going to be okay, Cody," I said, trying to infuse my tone with confidence. "The healer is doing everything he can. Tammy inhaled too much of the silver gas, but we caught it in time."

Cody nodded, his shoulders tensed with worry. I remember he told me that he had denounced Tammy as his sister for all the atrocities she had committed but right now I could see that he still cared a lot for her.

"Alpha Tobias is waiting for you in your office," he informed me, his voice tinged with urgency.

I nodded in acknowledgment, my mind already racing with the implications of Tobias's unexpected visit. 

"Thank you, Cody, look after her, I'll come check on her later," I said, giving his shoulder a reassuring squeeze before turning to head towards my office.

As I made my way through the camp, my thoughts were preoccupied with the sudden appearance of Alpha Tobias. What could have prompted his visit? I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of my stomach.
