Frankie Ricci grew up in a household of men. She could change her own tire, fix a leaking faucet and she wasn't afraid of squishing a spider, so what did she need a man for? Well, sure there was that. But so far, Frankie had never found someone she was interested in enough to do that.

Nope. She was happy with her life just the way it was.

Sacaren wasn't happy. He'd always believed his pack would share a mate. Having six of them watch over one mate meant she'd always be guarded, safe. Now, the idea of having to take care of a mate on his own...it made him feel a little ill.

Especially when these human females were so fragile, so easily harmed. How was he supposed to keep one safe?

Well, at least they were small. He'd just have to find a submissive, obedient one and ensure that he kept her tightly under his protection at all time. That would be simple.

Right?
