Can a stick in the mud change for love? James can't stand Wade. Wade is mouthy and pushy, and James would be happier if Chance had never allowed him to become a pack member. Unfortunately for him, Wade isn't going anywhere, which means James will have to learn to live with him. That is, if he doesn't strangle him first. Wade doesn't know why James hates him so much, but he tells himself he doesn't care. James is a stick in the mud, so why should he? It's better for him to focus on the promise he made to Dustin-finding Dustin's brother. Since no one is willing to help Wade, he heads out on his own. He didn't count on James following him, and he certainly didn't count on falling in love with him. Or on being kidnapped.
