Umm…. but she wasn’t safe. Did everyone forget major plot point that the wolves already found her there for the Rite when she was just his childhood friend/crush? How much more f’n determined would they be to find her as exiled queen preggers with an heir. Duh.

“A bit selfish?” girl has a gift for understatIng her own self delusion
Delaney swallowed and looked down at her hands. She knew she was being a bit selfish for wanting out of her marriage to Vincent. But they didn't understand. They didn't know what she had gone through. She didn't want her life to ever be like that again.

Said every nurse ever.
"Miles you know he isn't that angry with you," Cora spoke up, "He's only so angry because he's hurting. I was telling Delaney that while you were still inside. The men at Briarwood can be cruel sometimes but you have to remember they aren't mad at you. They're angry they're in such a situation and they can't escape it."

What? Is he NOT supposed to be in pain and angry at being horribly wounded. He’s mourning his losses too - including his own dreams for the future. She’s a bit light in the empathy department.
Delaney swallowed, "Cora what should I do? I don't want him to die... Absolutely I don't want him to die... but marry him? You saw him. He's terrifying and angry. I don't know that I could even stand to look at him for very long, let alone marry him."

“Cora looked at her in disgust...” same girl, same. Ugh. I definitley like Cora more than the main protagonist at this point.

Agreed. So far, the author seems to be putting forth the idea her independence stems from her need to be the center of attention. Independence, I admire... vapid little attention ‘hos? Not so much. I almost stopped reading in digust when she ran from the makeshift recovery ward. However, she’s young. Hoping some self reflection and personal growth is coming for her.
