After checking on my patrols and sending the ones with bites and scratches to the pack hospital, I send a mind link to my father letting him know the rogues were taken care of. I’ll need to reconnect Jaxon to my pack before I leave so he can use the mind link. ‘Griffin is sending more patrols to watch over Taylor’s land,’ my father tells me.

‘Good, because several of my patrols were injured and isn’t there some concern for them being bitten or scratched by someone with feral fever?’ I ask him.

‘The wolves had feral fever?’ he asks, concern evident in his voice.

‘According to my patrols, they weren’t normal wolves dad.’

‘I’ll get Councilman Jason and head over to the pack hospital to see what they doctors are saying. I’m guessing we’ll need to put your patrols into quarantine for the time being, honey. I’ m sorry, but it’s probably the only way to be safe.’

‘I understand, Dad. Their mates and pups may not, but I do,’ I say, closing the mind link and sighing.

“That’s the third time you’ve sighed in the last two minutes, Jordan. What’s up?” Jace asks me as we hear Griffin’s patrols heading our way.

“Dad says our patrols that were bitten or scratched will have to go into quarantine until we know for sure that those wolves didn’t have feral-fever.”

“I thought we were immune to that.” Jace says. “Wasn’t that like a huge deal with our generation, the immunity to feral fever and the claiming haze?”
