Lost Wolf
Anna’s mistake was falling for the Shadowthorn enforcer.
Anna knew Killian was dangerous, but she wanted him, even if only for one night. One magical, soul-shattering, unforgettable night that ended with betrayal and blood, and left her with a child she would do anything to protect.
Killian’s mistake was letting Anna go.
Killian knew the Stormhaven princess was off limits. She was beautiful and innocent and completely irresistible on that fateful night that brought them together. Killian walked away from Anna to protect her, not realizing he’d left her vulnerable and alone. Now he's back, begging at her doorstep, offering up everything he has to make things right.
But can Anna ever forgive the man who destroyed her world?

Agency
Taming of the Shew is one of my least favourite Shakespearean plays. For the life of me, I do not under how it is “comedy”. Petruchio tortures Kate into being an obedient wife. Why? Because she is independent and that is an affront to men. Petruchio starves, dehydrates, beats, sleep deprives, and generally punishes Kate, until every piece of her sense of self is stripped away. She must agree with anything Petruchio says or face new torture, even as he shows her off to other men as the ideal cowed and submissive slave, I mean, “wife”.
I cannot imagine why anyone thinks that this kind of thing makes for a delightful “romance” and, yet, here we are again.
Killian tricks Anna into having sex with him. She fully consents to the sex, but what she does not consent to is his plan is seduce her in order to publicly humiliate her and kill her father. In addition to the sexual humiliation and murder, Anna ends up being beaten and tortured and left for dead. For two years, she is left hungry and barely scraping by as she eels out a life for herself and raises the son she took away from the horror. When Killian re-enters Anna’s life, he kidnaps her son, holding him hostage, to force Anna into compliance. If she ever steps out of line he, or one of his pack will kill her.
Sure Killian feels a little bad, but not so bad that he treats Anna like she is a human being. He and his entire pack felt like Anna deserved what she got when Killian decided to ruin her life. She deserved it for being a literal teenager on her first run as an 18yo ‘adult’. And, hey, what’s really important is Killian and his feelings.
When an author embarks on the “second chance” trope, there has to be space for all of the characters to have agency regarding their choices. Nothing Killian says means anything at all as long as he is using Anna’s baby to coerce her behaviour.
