Two years ago, the day of Lily's surgery had been filled with hope. Olivia had sat in the same waiting area, clutching a small stuffed wolf that Lily loved, praying to the Moon Goddess for her daughter's survival. The donor had been confirmed-a perfect

match that would save her precious pup's life.

But then everything changed. The donor kidney had mysteriously been "redirected" to another patient. By the time they found

another compatible donor, it was too late. Lily's little body couldn't hold on any longer.

table, fighting for her life after a "fall" that Olivia knew was no accident.

The antiseptic smell of the medical den burned her sensitive nose, bringing back flashes of Lily's final days. The beeping of monitors. The hushed voices of healers. The scent of death hovering just beyond the door.

Sarah Jenkins rushed through the corridor, her scrubs rustling as she approached. She arrived just as Victoria Frost was being

wheeled away in her Raven-Trimmed Wheelchair.

Before being pushed away, Victoria looked back once more. Her eyes met with those of Sarah, the nurse. The two looked away

immediately.

"Ms. Winters, I'm so sorry," Sarah said, her voice breathless from running. "I just got the call about your mother. I came
