It was his greatest regret that he had never been able to force her to reveal the names of the wolves that had raped her.
He would have taken great joy in biting out their guts and leave them eviscerated, bleeding to death and crying for their mothers—
"Lerrin, stop," Suhle whispered. He'd become so accustomed to leaving his mind open to her at all times, sometimes it became inconvenient when he would like to revel in the bloodthirst for her enemies.

And then… then we might never have had our chance for this. For a family. I do not enjoy my past, Lerrin, but I am grateful for where it has brought me."
"Which is where?" he said, shamelessly encouraging her to speak her love again.
"With you," she said without hesitation, hugging him closer. "And… and our pup."
