I froze.
“What?”

Two years ago, a bad infection swept through the pack. I was away at a medical conference, and the pack needed urgent treatment.
By the time I got back, three pack members were dead, and a dozen more were seriously ill.
Ethan told me it was because “some trainee healer used the wrong potion formula.”
That trainee healer was kicked out immediately, and no one ever mentioned her name again.
The Elder Council chewed me out, saying the tragedy was due to my “lack of oversight.” My Luna rank was dropped a level, and it took me a whole six months to get it back.
