field medics so they could assist
    in human wars,” Gabriel explained.
    “Thank god! Can you get them down here? Only Felix and I know how to put in an IV or administer
    drugs,” Claybourne said.
    “Don’t forget me, Doc. I normally treat animals, but the method is the same.” Gavin spoke up.
    “ “Good man!” Claybourne nodded.
    “The school gym,” Felix blurted out.
    Everyone turned to stare at him.
    “The school, it’s a central location everyone knows. It’s large enough to hold a lot of people and
    supplies. There’s a kitchen and plenty of showers. It would be perfect.” Felix listed all his reasons for
    choosing the school.
    Claybourne stared at him for a second before walking over and kissing him soundly on the lips.
    “I love you,” he admitted. Felix’s eyes watered.
    “I love you, too. And don’t think you’re not in trouble for admitting it when we can’t reclaim each
    other,” Felix pouted. Claybourne swiped his bottom lip with his tongue.
    “All right, gentleman, you heard my gorgeous mate. We’re transferring the sick to the school and
    establishing it as the central location,” Claybourne said loudly.
    “Gabriel, call in some of your coven members. So far this illness seems to only be affecting shifters, but
    we may need some of your coven members who aren’t medically trained to help treat the sick. Arkadions,
    you’re on moving detail with the exception of Connor. I need you to head to the school and start large
    batches of chicken broth for the sick. Nearly everyone who has come down with this gets extremely
    dehydrated.” The Arkadions nodded.
    “What about us?” Bran asked pointing to himself and Liam, who had walked back in with Kent.
    “Work with Ms. Tully and check in with every single townsperson to make sure the sick are brought to
    the school. I would like to try to get to some of the sick before they are unconscious so I can ask them
    questions to try and determine where this illness came from and how it’s spreading,” Claybourne said.
    “You got it, Doc. What about Kate?” Bran swallowed hard.
    “I will look after her and Damian personally,” Felix assured him. Bran stared at him for a long moment.
    “I’m going to hold you to that. Keep her safe.” Bran and Caleb left the clinic. Felix could hear them
    shouting orders to the wolves who had accompanied them and had waited outside.
    “Doc, I have the keys to the school. We can start the move whenever you’re ready,” Finn said, holding
    up his eyes. Felix had forgotten that Finn taught at the school.
    “Okay, let’s do this.” Claybourne rolled up his sleeves.
    Chapter 5

    By the next afternoon nearly all the pride members except Rian, Sebastian, Liam, and Kent were on cots
    in the gym. In addition to the lions were a handful of wolves, more townspeople, and to everyone’s dismay,
    children were starting to come in.
    Liam came running up to Claybourne. Felix stood up from where he had been seated next to Kate and
    walked over to his mate. Rian, seeing his Alpha, stood from Damian’s cot to get the latest news.
    “They can’t get in! The damn perimeter has the town on a lock down, like a quarantine. Grandfather
    didn’t even know it could do that. We have support, but they can’t get into town.” Liam kicked an empty
    box, sending it across the gym.
    “We’ll just have to do the best we can,” Claybourne said.
    “I mean it, Aleks, move!” A familiar piping voice was heard from outside the gym doors.
    Liam sighed, reached into his wallet to hand Rian a five dollar bill.
    The door opened and Rebecca came in with Aleks directly behind her trying in vain to put a mask over
    her face. She swatted his hands away.
    “It’s obviously not airborne or everyone in here would be sick. Where do we stand, gentleman?” She
    placed her hands on her hips which only accentuated her bulging belly.
    “Rebecca, maybe you should have stayed at home. You need rest,” Claybourne started. She glared at
    him
