Chapter 70: TAMMY'S ILLNESS

SKYLIGHT PACK

VANCE

I was sitting in my office, thinking a lot about Catherine. It was late in the day, and the sun was making long shadows on the floor. Suddenly, a guard came in looking disheveled.

"Alpha Vance, Tammy is ill. It seems like she inhaled too much of the silver gas," the guard explained with a worried look on his face.

"Lead the way," I said, getting up quickly.

We went through the big building to get to Tammy's cell room. The air felt heavy with worry as we walked.

As we approached Tammy's room, the guard opened the door, and there was Tammy, lying on the ground and looking lifeless.

"Let's get her to the healing house right away," I said as I picked her up. We hurried to the healing house, where our pack's healer could help her.

"I need your help, she's sick," I told the healer as we entered the healing house.

"I’ll do everything I can," the healer assured me as he began to tend to Tammy.

While the healer looked after Tammy, I couldn't stop thinking about Catherine. Where was she? Was she safe?

"Will Tammy be okay?" I asked the healer, my concern evident in my voice.

"I'm doing everything I can for her. She'll be okay," the healer responded with a reassuring smile.

I thanked the healer and was about to leave the healing house, my thoughts still lingering on Catherine and the guilt that enveloped me for rejecting her.

Cody approached me, his brows furrowed with worry, I guess he had been informed about his younger sister, his eyes darted between me and Tammy, who lay unconscious on the makeshift bed in the healer's tent. I could see the fear etched into his features, and I knew he was desperate for answers.

"What happened to her, Alpha Vance?" Cody's voice quivered with concern as he looked at Tammy, his hands clenched tightly at his sides.

I placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder and met his gaze. "She's going to be okay, Cody," I said, trying to infuse my tone with confidence. "The healer is doing everything he can. Tammy inhaled too much of the silver gas, but we caught it in time."

Cody nodded, his shoulders tensed with worry. I remember he told me that he had denounced Tammy as his sister for all the atrocities she had committed but right now I could see that he still cared a lot for her.

"Alpha Tobias is waiting for you in your office," he informed me, his voice tinged with urgency.

I nodded in acknowledgment, my mind already racing with the implications of Tobias's unexpected visit. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Thank you, Cody, look after her, I'll come check on her later," I said, giving his shoulder a reassuring squeeze before turning to head towards my office.

As I made my way through the camp, my thoughts were preoccupied with the sudden appearance of Alpha Tobias. What could have prompted his visit? I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of my stomach.

When I arrived at my office, I found Alpha Tobias seated in one of the chairs, his posture rigid and his expression unreadable. The lines on his forehead deepened as he looked up at me, and I could sense the tension emanating from him.

"Alpha Vance," he greeted me with a curt nod, his eyes holding a steely glint

"Alpha Tobias, to what do I owe this surprise visit?"

"I came here to discuss the recent events in the territory. It seems we have a pressing matter that requires our immediate attention."

I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves as I sat across from him.

"What has happened? " I asked, my voice steady despite the knot of apprehension that had formed in my chest.

Tobias leaned forward, his hands clasped together on the desk.

"There have been reports of a group of rogues attacking neighboring packs," he explained,

"It seems they're coming closer to our territories, and tensions are running high. I want us to join forces in fighting the rogues if they happen to attack any of our packs"

My jaw tightened as I processed the gravity of the situation. I knew that we had to act swiftly to ensure the safety of our pack.

"I'll gather our council members for an emergency meeting," I said, my mind already racing with the steps we needed to take to address the threat. "We need to devise a plan to protect our territory and our people."

Tobias nodded in agreement, and we delved into the details of our strategy, soon it was time for him to leave.

As Tobias and I walked out of the office, his words about the healing house caught me off guard.

"I was told you were at the healing house when I came. Who's ill?" He inquired, concern evident in his amber eyes.

I hesitated for a moment, then replied,

"It's Tammy, one of our pack members. She's been unwell, but the healers are taking care of her."

Tobias nodded in understanding, and I led him through the winding paths to the healing house. As we arrived, the soothing scent of herbs and the gentle glow of the fire greeted us. There, lying on a bed of soft furs, was Tammy, looking at her now, she looked so innocent and harmless one wouldn't know that she was capable of so much evil.

Tobias approached her, his presence exuding a comforting warmth, and I could see the reassurance in his eyes as he looked at her.

"She's going to be alright," he said, his voice carrying a quiet strength.

"Thank you" I responded

And suddenly he recalled Something and turned to me

"I forgot to tell you, Vance. Alpha Damon of the Blackwater pack is having a mating ceremony. He's mated to Catherine Thames."

At the mention of that name, Catherine Thames, my heart seemed to stop beating, and my eyes widened in shock.
