Ignoring all road rules, I step on the gas pedal like my life depends on it. Ironically, right now, the life of all wolves depend on the measures I will take right now. I call Uncle Arthur so that he grabs whatever antidote is ready for now.

Just as I park the car, and step out, I'm suddenly hit by a sharp pain in my chest that my breath momentarily hitches. I have never felt pain like this. It is suffocating and paralyzing. I take long breaths in succession and finally managed to stabilize myself.

Before I even raise my hand to grab the doorknob, another wave of pain hit me and I stumble before falling face down on the patio. Unable to contain it, I groan loudly and my wolf, Emberwing, is not faring any better. He is howling nonstop in the confines of my mind. It is so bad that it cause
