"No... I mean... kind of," I told her, my cheeks flushing. "I'm not really sure what's wrong. I think it's just a stomach bug. It's nothing to be too worried about. I think I just need to drink some water or something."

"Nonsense. I'll talk to Sampson. I want to take you to the pack hospital."

My face paled at the mention of a hospital.

"No, that's not necessary. The doctors of this pack have enough to worry about right now. With the new threat out there and the lives that are at risk, they don't need to worry about me over a stomach bug."

Lucy defiantly folded her arms across her chest.

"You can't go on post with a stomach bug, Judy," she told me. "You know this, as does Marlo and Sampson."

I knew she was right, and I hated that she was. I took a deep breath and let my shoulders slump.
