Forget Me Not. Being(s) In Love, #10

Detective Ray Branigan protects his chosen city of Los Cerros. Whatever feelings he has on how he is treated as a werewolf in a police department of mostly humans, Ray keeps to himself for the sake of being what he is supposed to be and doing what he thinks he is supposed to do. .Until he wakes up in an alley with a headache, magic tingling in his nose, and no memory of the half-fairy in front of him claiming to be his mate.
Ray does not have a mate, yet his instincts tell him this is right-and that something else is very wrong. Werewolves who lose their mates get self-destructive or violent. But a miscalculation in the spell used against him has temporarily spared Ray that fate. While he still can, he has to find who did this to him, and why, and try not to get too distracted by the brilliant half-fairy who smells like home. Callalily "Cal" Parker is beautiful, clever-and far too careful when discussing their past.
Fairies are supposed to speak the truth, but maybe Cal is right to hide it from Ray, since the pack Ray has fought so hard to believe in, the police, seem to have abandoned him, and, his instincts whisper, cannot be trusted now, which means that maybe Ray shouldn't be trusted either. But the spell is still at work, weakening even a werewolf's strength. When Ray can no longer fight off the magic, will he become the monster so many think he is, or the hero that his mate insists he must be-that he wants to be, to save himself, and help his city, and make his Callalily proud?  Being(s) in Love:Magical creatures known as beings emerged from hiding amid the destruction of the First World War.
Since then they've lived on the margins of the human world as misunderstood objects of fear and desire. Some are beautiful, others fearsome and powerful. Yet for all their magic and strength, they are as vulnerable as anyone when it comes to matters of the heart.
