When we arrived at the pack, some people were already gathered around the open area. I noticed a few women carrying their children. A partition had been set up with a tent and a large table for us. I approached the table and saw the files on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou take a look, okay?\u201d Lord William said, giving me a nod as he walked away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I picked up a file and tried to read the details of what these people had noticed during the passing out of the children. A strong scent of perfume reached me, and I knew who it was, but I did not lift my head to look at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, how are you going to cure these children? You\u2019re getting a huge benefit from it,\u201d Kaylee commented as she reached the table and leaned against it. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll see,\u201d I replied, keeping my eyes on the file.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you please bring your child forward?\u201d I asked the woman, gesturing for her to step closer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The warriors guided her forward, and I examined her child.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s asleep?\u201d I asked her, and she nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wanted to make sure if he was sleeping like a normal baby or because of the sickness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow long?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A sad look crossed her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has only been sleeping for a few hours, but my other child has been sleeping for days. He is in the hospital right now,\u201d she replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her voice was filled with sadness, and even I felt bad for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll help your children,\u201d I told the woman, placing my hand on her shoulder. She turned and kissed the back of my hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI respect you a lot for it. After what you have been put through by all of us, you\u2019re still back to help us. You truly are special,\u201d the woman said, tearing up as she held her son close to her chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If I could, I would have saved her child right then, but I was afraid and had to be cautious. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
If I used my tears in front of these people, they would lock me in a basement just to make me cry for them. That was how extreme they were, especially the council leaders and the Alphas. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, well, don\u2019t be too naive. A person can be good at their job and still be a terrible person,\u201d Kaylee muttered, folding her arms across her chest. (2)\u00a0<\/p>\n
The woman glanced at Kaylee and then back at me, noticing the tension between us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSome people are not good at their jobs, and they are not good people either,\u201d I replied, turning to grab the file and write down the woman and her child\u2019s names.\u00a0<\/p>\n

+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had to keep a full list of how many children I was going to help so I could save my tears and give them to those who needed them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be so cocky, you know. Your respect is always short lived because once in a while you show your true colors, and then people hate you for it,\u201d she said with a small laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I clenched my jaw, gave a polite smile to the woman with the child, and gestured for her to move forward so the next person could step up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A young man approached with his wife and their child in her arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBe careful. I don\u2019t think you want to bring your husband around her,\u201d Kaylee continued, and I clenched my fist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you have any other children who have been asleep for many hours or days?\u201d I asked the man.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I noticed Kaylee let out another quiet chuckle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that point, she was not letting me do my job. She stood too close, and I was getting irritated. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, but he has been asleep for a few hours,\u201d the man replied, showing me his child.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wrote down their names while Kaylee lingered nearby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe saw the news,\u201d the man muttered, clearing his throat as he looked at his wife.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I frowned and handed them the register to sign in front of their names.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat news?\u201d I asked, confused, and noticed Kaylee let out a scoff, as if she did not like the topic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlpha Elgin and the whole situation. He was crying and apologizing to you on the road. I don\u2019t know the background, but all I can think about is the struggles you have been through. I\u2019m really sorry,\u201d the man continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My frown deepened. I had no idea what they were talking about. What news? What apology? Was Elgin playing another game to make himself look like a good person?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, please don\u2019t take it too seriously. He was drunk. Besides, you don\u2019t know the history between them,\u201d Kaylee snapped, drawing the attention to herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I clenched my fists and then gave Kaylee a smile. I was not going to let her <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
