Payson thought he�d found his mate once, but had been wrong. With his senses screwed up by scientist�s experiments, he no longer trusts them. He sleeps with any nice smelling, willing male‹and some females‹hoping his hyena will want to keep one of them. He�s shocked and delighted when he and his animal are in agreement over one sexy, nerdy human‹Land Zimmerman. The sex is fantastic, Land�s shy virgin playfulness even better, and Payson gives in to his hyena�s urge to mark Land. The next morning, things heat up, and not in a good way. Payson�s jealous hyena attacks a fellow pack-member standing a little too close to Land. Can Payson convince his skittish human that he�s not as crazy as he seems?
