Jericho blinked.“Come again?”
Juni wondered if she heard that right.Unicorns?Like, actual unicorns?They were real?
“So, you see why this is a real problem,” Savannah said.“I hope Niall has knowledge of a cure because this is really bad, Jericho.”
All Juni could think about was Clover.Maybe she should take her and go.Leave Sheridan and run as far as possible to make sure her sister was safe.
The alpha called the human doctor, who arrived minutes later.He, along with his human assistant, moved Mrs.Smyth into a body bag.Then Savannah shooed the shifters away as she contained the area and erased the droplets of blood left behind.
Juni stood with Keegan outside the coffee shop, and she rather thought they were both shellshocked at what had just happened.Only ten minutes had passed but it seemed like a lifetime ago.
“I don’t know what to do,” Keegan whispered, fear heavy in her voice.
Juni stared at her.“I don’t either.”
What the hell were they going to do?
Chapter Eight
Jericho’s thoughtswere all over the place.Threats from other shifters, other packs, hell, even humans, all of that he could deal with.How did he fight biological warfare?How did he protect his people from a virus that had no cure?Payton was pregnant, and mentally picturing what happened to Mrs.Smyth happening to his mate was more than he could bear.He had to get her away until he figured this out.In fact, getting as many people away that could go sounded like a great idea.
He pulled out his cell phone and called Ledger.
“Hello.”
“Meet me at my office as soon as possible.We have a situation.”
“On my way.”
Without even bothering to say bye, he hung up and marched to the apothecary.Savannah was gathering herbs and muttering to herself.She looked up at him as he entered.
“Niall will be here shortly.We have to put a ward around Sheridan.”
“I want women and children to leave—”
“That can’t happen, Jericho.We have no idea how far spread this is.We have to contain it here.”
