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.

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!

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