Second Time Charm

I've wanted to work with a wolf partner for as long as I can remember. This is my third — and final — chance of being chosen by one. You know what they say. Be careful what you wish for. I had no idea wolves could be as broken as my new partner is. He has an intense phobia of dogs, his attitude reeks, he barely knows how to take care of himself, and doesn't care about much of anything — except having lots of sex. That's the best thing about our partnership, the sex. But sometimes I wonder if it's worth it. I don't know how to fix this. He's difficult, annoying, handsome as hell...and I don't want to give him up. My dream come true is starting to feel like a nightmare. But the one he's living turns out to be far worse.
