Chapter 17 Healer’s fear
ASHER
Once the healer left, I leaned back in the armchair in Alpha Gareth’s meeting room and released a sigh. My head was aching, as if I had a million hammers, pounding at it at once. I pinched the bridge of my nose between my fingers.
It was difficult to say whether the headache was from the mysterious disease worsening or the lack of sleep. I barely got a full night’s rest these days, and it was, beginning to take its toll on my entire body. It was simply too difficult to rest when there was so much plaguing my mind.
And now, there was someone else to consider, someone I couldn’t get out of my

to make a full recovery. And she had been right- she could easily conduct her research here and report her findings to me in the capital city.
But I wanted her to come with me.
