"What happened to mommy and daddy? Is he going to die?" Selena asked through sobs.
"My dear, your mother is his mate, so he will live. She'll keep him alive," Mary said, while soothing the little girl.

When two werewolves are mates, they can feel each other's emotions and thoughts and even share their life force. In times of danger or illness, a mate can save the other from death by sacrificing their own energy to heal them," Mary explained.
