   Summary

   Vessel has more than he could ever dream of. A successful business, a loyal congregation. Not one, but two partners who would do anything for him. So why does he feel so empty? And why does Sleep seem so unhappy?

   Sleep doesn't need another vessel. It's too late for him, too late for his pack, but it's not too late for the one She wants to claim.

   Vessel will make sure of it.
