The Packless They call me packless, but I’ve always had a family. Or I did, until a group of scavengers caught us unawares and killed everyone I’ve ever loved. I’ve come to Pack Singer injured, weak, but when a soft-hearted guard nurses me back to health, I see my chance. I beg him to help me join Pack Singer’s prestigious breeding program. If I’m pregnant with one of their own, there’s no way they’ll refuse me. I need to keep it cool, fake my way in, and conceive before I’m discovered. All I want is to have a home, and I refuse to settle for anything less than one of the Big 10. Jace Demoted and dejected, I settle into the role of a grunt in a squad I used to lead, suffering the abuses of my former subordinates. All, for what, refusing to acknowledge what my brother was planning to do? Truly alone for the first time in my life, I find one of the packless bleeding and unconscious in the woods. She needs me, and the more I stare into her brilliant green eyes, the more I think I need her. When she comes up with a plan to find sanctuary at Pack Singer by becoming a pack mother, I go along with it. But she won’t go alone. The Hawk mask I once wore with pride feels constrictive, but I’ll wear it for her. She doesn’t know I’m one of her Breeders, but it’s the only way to keep her close. One day, I’ll take off the mask and show her my real face.
