The key to his humanity is finding his place in the pride. Sydney came to Sanctuary believing he wasn't anything other than the runt of the litter. Strengths? According to the others, he had none. But one special shifter seems to think otherwise-Nat. To bring out the brave side of Syd, he'll need to trust. Nat has always known he's a beta. No question. He's drawn to Syd and wants to find out if their existence at the Sanctuary should be more than platonic. When he and Syd are called upon to bring back more lions from the petting zoo, he not only sees Syd's true potential, but realizes his true feelings for the fellow shifter. Can these two shifters forge an alliance and grow together or will their heated experiments between the sheets be the end for them both?
