"Why hasn't she been healed? How long has she been like this?" I didn't want to ask the question that was at the forefront of my mind, but I was sure it was as clear as day on my face. Why were the people of the kingdom told that she had died?

"We have healed her as much as we can. Her wolf is gone, and her soul has suffered a great deal with the loss of her mate. Even we cannot treat the soul."
