Val has loved the same man for as long as she can remember. The only problem, he doesn’t love her back. Fated mates are hard to find, but that’s not what Val dreams of. She just wants to be with Wayne. So, on the night of Eme and Logan’s mating ceremony, she approaches Wayne and confesses her feelings. Even though he is drunk, she’s hoping he returns the same feelings. Wayne, being the ladies man that he is, takes her to bed. Thinking that he does feel the same, she’s excited about it... until the next day. He doesn’t remember anything. Their coupling, her confession. Nothing. Wayne is oblivious as to why Val won’t talk to him anymore, but he has bigger problems than women right now. Wolfcalm is still on the rise, and if they don’t get a handle on it, and the rogues who are selling it, the humans will start revolting. The last thing they need to is fear the humans.
