“When it’s done, she collapses, resting her head on my knee, and Abertha lays our squalling, purple pup on her belly.
“Ours,” Rosie says, cradling him close and gazing up at me, stars in her bleary eyes.
“Ours,” I agree.
Our fate. Our choice.
Our new beginning”

Cute

“My wolf stalks next to Cadoc, the ground trembling with each step, and she sits beside him. Cadoc drags himself upright to slump against her. She bends way down to lick his face.
“I always liked big girls,” he slurs, grinning, his mouth full of blood.
He’s definitely concussed.
On the ground in front of us, Alban’s headless carcass twitches.”

😭 she got a Godzilla wolf

“People of the Bogs, as I have claimed her, I claim you. As she is mine, you are mine to hold and protect.” He pauses, gaze steady, letting the word resonate. This time, the Bog murmurs and whispers, but the nobs are silent. “We will leave here now. We will go to the dens we once called home. I will see you fed and safe. We will be the pack that once was, and the pack that should be.”
AHAHAH

He’s about to get himself killed, and then your betters are going to tear you limb from limb.”
I don’t do it on purpose. It’s my wolf. She peels back my lips, bares my teeth, and lets forth a snarl so sharp it rings my ears.And Gwen Collins shows me her neck like a ghost snapped it. She gasps, tensing, but she doesn’t—or can’t—raise her head.
MWAHHAHA

But also their pack js shows how much they’ve changed and accustomed to human things because usually they fight in wolf form

“Brody shows his fangs and draws back a fist.
Cadoc swings, his fist a sledgehammer, launching Brody across the plaza. His people scatter as his body sails through the air and slams into the pedestal of Broderick Moore’s statue with a wet crunch. His limp form slides to the ground.
It’s over before it began.
Right that’s chupapi

“Brody doesn’t bother to speak. He throws back his neck, and his wolf howls, demanding submission with an alpha command. It sounds like bubble wrap popping as the entire pack bends the neck or bows the head. Everyone except Cadoc and me.
I hear the command, but Brody Hughes isn’t my alpha”

Tuh yk that’s right

This book is cute but it kinda feels like it’s draggingggg😭 idk maybe it could’ve been spaced out better so the stories still told? I feel like she completed their romance and the last bit is an added story almost? Idk like she’s tying things up but I feel like some of the stuff could’ve been discussed more throughout instead of dumping it at the end and letting us come to conclusions throughout the book

“I am everything to him.
The knowledge floods my chest, as loud as a bell on a cold winter morning, echoing through me, pumping through my veins, resting in my bones.
Cadoc Collins loves me.
No, more than that.
I animate him”
🙇‍♀️

“He’s right. We’re not getting rations up here, and there’s no one to trade for baby clothes and diapers.
A rumble rattles his chest. “You don’t worry. I’ve got it covered.”
“I don’t have a number.”
“I’ll figure it out.” The corner of his lip sneaks up. “You’ve got a number. Number one.”
He asked for her social security 😭😭
