It’s been a year and Cin has returned home, bringing with her a hoard of demons that claim to be safe. But they’re causing a ruckus in Brie’s hometown.

But why does she have to be the one to suffer for that idiot’s horrible actions? Now the werewolf won’t leave her alone, claiming that it’s not the love potion making his heart beat. He’s really in love with her. Actually, mated is the term he used. Brie is forced to wait out the potion’s effects as her town begins to spiral from the disappearances of three women from the town.
