They entice recruits with sex. These recruits are kept in line with a mixture of violence and fear: do what you're ordered, or suffer the consequences. They are the Pack. They live in secret, under assumed names and new identities, hidden away or on the run, avoiding the Pack, who cast them out. They are the Fallen. He has a quiet life. He is married with a child on the way; he's successful and fulfilled. But he has his own demons to battle. He is the Listener. She was a member of the Pack. She fought, she killed, and she recoiled in revulsion. She ran from the Pack. She is Rachel. After that horrifying act, the Listener helps to repair Rachel's fragile psyche. Until she's well enough to return to a normal life. Until she falls in love. Until the Pack finds her. Until the Listener and the Fallen come together to save her. The Pack would see her dead. And that is something that the Listener cannot allow to happen.
