Chapter 799: THE DISEASE

Iris was alarmed when she heard the urgency in Jace’s voice, she felt like her world crumbled in slowly when she learned something bad happened to Ethan. Her heart was thumping so wild when she got off the bed and intended to rush out of the tent to see the gamma.

However, Cane grabbed her wrist and put on a cloak over her thin dress and then took her hand to walk out and meet with Jace.

"What happened?" Cane asked, as they walked toward the other tent and the beta gave them a brief summary about what was going on.

Ethan got food poisoning, but it was not anything life threatening, he only fell sick and had a fever, something that happened to the other warriors when they were being poisoned, though the knights took it rather harshly and two of them didn’t make it, but the shifter’s healing ability helped tremendously with this situation.

"Earlier when Aliana helped him to cool off his body, she found this on his chest." Jace pulled the blanket that covered Ethan’s body and showed the burn mark on his left chest. "I think this is Grebis."

This was the first time Iris saw Ethan again after a few weeks he was in the battlefield with Cane. The gamma looked pale and right now he was unconscious, while Aliana sat beside the makeshift bed without saying anything, her eyes looked empty and she didn’t utter a single word either. She held his hand tightly and didn’t avert her gaze from Ethan’s sleeping face.

"Grebis?" Cane narrowed his eyes, he squatted down and checked on the burn mark on Ethan’s left chest and what the beta said was right. It was indeed Grebis. He had been in the Silver River pack before and watched closely about this disease.

The problem was; there was still no cure for this disease and most of the people that infected would end up with a bad ending, more so what made them even more alerted was the fact they didn’t know what the cause of it.

"Grebis?" Iris knelt down beside Cane, her heart was beating very fast against her ribcage, she felt like she was having a hard time to breath when she spoke with trembling tone. "Didn’t you say that you it’s an incurable disease?"

Iris dreaded the answer.

However, the disease was not only infected the people in Cane’s campsite, but also alpha Derick’s warriors. The problem was; they didn’t have a healer to help them with the situation.

This was one of the reasons why alpha Derick had not yet given an order to attack Cane’s party when the Silver Warrior managed to poison their food storage and put them in difficult situation when food was already sacred during this season.

They just came out from a harsh winter and the problem with the crows after all.

But, another problem why alpha Derick was hesitated was because Cezi went against him. He was adamant for his father to check on Arella first and dug more information about what prince Kellan had been doing, whether Cane’s assumption was right or not.

Alpha Derick didn’t want to have any suspicion on the prince that he adored so much, but then Cezi’s stubbornness and how out of character he was to go against him very strongly got alpha Derick to think the possibility of it.
