Elyse, a silver wolf afflicted with the terminal, hereditary Wolf-Spirit Deterioration, ended her relationship with fated mate Kane a year before he crushed a pack uprising to become the Bloodfang Pack’s youngest Alpha. To spare him from her crippling agony, the curse’s genetic risk to their future pups, and the weight of her impending death, she hid the truth, letting Kane believe she’d left him for being penniless.
Consumed by bitterness and desperate, unspoken love, Kane forced Elyse to stay by his side. He paraded endless women, including his human assistant Selena, to provoke her jealousy, never knowing she’d blocked their mate bond to shield him, silently counting her final 10 days of life as her wolf faded. When the shattering truth finally emerges, it is too late. After Elyse’s passing, Kane builds his pack into a dynasty, then lays down his crown to follow his lifelong love into eternity.
