A good meal and a blood transfusion knocked me out for the count, and I spent two days eating, sleeping, and soaking in the guest bathroom tub. Once my virus recovered enough to express real interest in the world, she prioritized receiving any and all forms of positive attention, preferably from Wayne, although she’d accept it from anyone to cross her path.

I assumed Wayne’s virus held responsibility for the situation, although I found it to my liking. Having an on-demand hybrid to snuggle with helped. Each morning and evening, a CDC representative came over to monitor my virus levels, which remained disconcertingly low. I blamed the pixie dust prescription for my need to be cuddled into general submission.

Wayne enjoyed his duties as the primary recipient of the cuddling, although he flipped his lid over my generally defenseless state.

Pixie dust of the grade they’d given me rendered me incapable of self-defense. The CDC had gone out of their way to make certain Wayne understood he held full responsibility for my vulnerable state. It’d taken a single cut with a scalpel for the attending doctor to get the point across.

I’d giggled the entire time.

Wayne had freaked himself straight to his hybrid form, and it’d taken three CDC reps, two of which were lycanthropes, to contain me long enough to wrap my arm before I’d made myself comfortable on his lap.

It took the entirety of the two weeks planned to recover sufficiently for the CDC to approve light work and general rest at home rather than at the hotspot with a tendency of boosting the virus. To my amusement, the reps had taken turns scolding Wayne on what I could and couldn’t do, expecting him to be more of a problem than me. Once they finally left, I pointed at Wayne and laughed at his disgruntled expression. “The best part of that? They blamed you for my stubbornness.”

“So damned stubborn,” he complained, and he herded me in the direction of my new SUV. “You need to submit your resignation to McDonald’s, and don’t forget to include the waiver stating you are exempt from having to return for a final shift.”

As a general rule, insurance companies and corporations made it difficult to use insurance if you couldn’t return to work, requiring a minimum of one shift to be eligible to receive coverage. Before the CDC had taken over a lot of health regulations, especially on the insurance front, failure to return to work after a medical issue often resulted in zero coverage.

The CDC’s little note, which implied I might spread the lycanthropy virus unintentionally, cleared me from any such issues.

I expected a legal tussle over the situation, but the CDC had already promised to cover any fees that might accrue as a result of my situation.

Off the record, the rep had informed me they’d been looking for opportunities to improve rights for lycanthropes, and cases like mine tended to make good cannon fodder for the war, resulting in larger jumps in general progress. As
