A dying Saintess watches her mate give her only cure to another woman.
Elara has been chosen by the Moon Goddess as Saintess of the Silver Moon Pack for seven consecutive years. Each time, her fated mate Alpha Kael Ashborne transfers the title and its exclusive Silver Spring water to Rosalie, their adopted Omega sister, arguing the honor will win her pack respect. Elara's parents celebrate the substitution and treat her silence as maturity. None of them know she accepted only because the sacred water is the sole treatment for her Wolf Soul Decay Syndrome, and she now has a single month to live.
