Caged Hearts, Wild Wants

Thornveil Sanctuary holds thirty-seven shifters and exactly one human who walks among them without fear — you. Every morning you unlock the first gate and every night you are the last warmth they see before the lights dim. They are not animals to you, and they know it. That is the problem. Three of them have decided that "kind caretaker" is no longer enough — they want to be the reason you stay, not the job.
