A werewolf’s olfaction was sharp and our reactions were incredibly fast.

But anesthesia and its effects were even faster.

As the plumes of the chemical’s smoke filled the air, I muffled my mouth swiftly with the sleeve of my thick jacket. I thanked the Moon that I’d selected that blend of fabrics this morning, otherwise, I might have succumbed to the smoke.

Thanks to the barrier of my jacket sleeve and the distance I kept from Lord Kane and Healer Cassandra, I didn’t inhale much of the awful chemicals.

However, my guards weren’t as lucky.

They appeared drunk as they stumbled around aimlessly. Their eyes had a glazed and distant quality, and their every movement was simultaneously delayed and erratic.

In a few more seconds, they would be lying on the ground like the dead corpse of Spike.

As I fought to gather myself and regain control over the situation, Cassandra and Kane rose up from their places on the stone ground of the dungeon and prepared to make their escape. Though they didn’t utter a word, I caught a gleam in Cassandra’s beautiful dark green eyes.

I was surprised to see it. I had thought the healer was defeated, yet she still had quite a bit of fight in her.

I hadn’t been prepared for any of this. Inhalation anesthesia…what a marvelous idea!

I was so impressed by her willful spirit that I almost wanted to applaud. She was truly more than just a meek little healer.

Unluckily for them, I was standing at the only entrance and exit of the dungeon’s corridor.

My lips curled into a satisfied smirk at the realization and then Cassandra let out a small growl. She appeared as if she were ready to attack me. A laugh escaped me at the sight of her fierce expression.

But as I did so, my sleeve slipped away, and I had to quickly recover so I didn’t inhale anything further.

Sleeve against my mouth and nose, I studied the healer for a moment. I had a few options. I could give them a host of trouble and continue with the petty torture, or I could stand aside.
