I gulped back the lump in my throat as I stared at the black mark on Asher’s skin. Of anyone, I never would have expected the Alpha King to become infected with the mysterious disease. Especially since he’d just arrived here from Anemond.

Was the disease running rampant in the capital just as it did here?

We hadn’t heard anything about it here, and besides, if it was so prevalent, there would have been no reason for Asher to keep his condition so private and concealed. So, how did he get infected in the first place?

From the research I’d conducted with my patients, I’d come to the conclusion that the disease didn’t transfer very easily, which was especially lucky for us. Otherwise, we’d all have been infected by now, especially me. I worked around the infected so often that it was a miracle that Marley and I hadn’t become infected

yet.

Though the illness was peculiar and mysterious, there was one thing I did know- the disease weakened werewolves’ power. Once present in the system, the disease latched onto the blood and caused the victim’s bodies to deteriorate from the inside out. It was incredibly deadly and fast-acting, so it was only a matter of time before the patient died from the illness.

No matter how much I didn’t want to admit the feelings for Asher Collins that lingered in my heart, I still cared and worried for him. I didn’t wish this disease on

anyone, not even him.
