Dana is one delusional mthfker
What are you not getting HELLLLOOOOOOOO
HE. DOES.NOT.WANT.YOUUUUUUUUUUU OH MY GOSH

“You can hurt the man I love," Axton said. "You can force me from my home. You can keep me here with threats or oaths. You can do all of that." A smile, secret and sharp like a sudden knife to the ribs, slashed across his features. "But you can't make me live a lie, Dana.”

🫵🏾period

This reunion is EVERYTHING and yet I'm so exhausted from previous rage, I need to sleep on it and start tomorrow afresh so I can truly enjoy it. L8R

"I am perfectly in control of my rage," Leander said. 😂❤️ You and me both, babe. You and me both. Now let's murder a whiny POS and a band of gay-murdering extremists (who have yet to be on page, by the way) and F shit UP.

Oh my GOD the gaslighting just never stops in this book. Jack trying to tell Ax that by leaving Leander, he took away Leander's choice. No, Jack, it isn't the same thing AT ALL. Ax left not by choice but because Dana took away Ax's choice, you fucker. STFU.

"But it's a choice you made on MY behalf." STFU Jack. If you can understand this on your own selfish behalf, then you can understand why Dana controlling Ax by taking HIS free will away makes him the biggest piece of shit around. Bigger than boogey man Dru.

Ax's move was brilliant. And then partly ruined by him still empathizing and protecting Dana. And as Dana beats Ax to a pulp because he "has" to, he chants, "How could you make me do this...how could you make me do this..."

Chilling refrain of abusers everywhere. At least I'm beyond anger now. I've gone to that cold, dead place where you dress for vengeance.

Wow, well, if Ax's protest-bomb has accomplished one thing, it's to show Dana's true colors and why he's a total POS and why he'd be the worst possible leader yet again. His answer to anything is violence and disrespect. He would rule via fear, and never really be in charge.

Oh, my god. I am screaming into the void now. "And it would be NICE, was the hell of it. He could belong to this pack..." 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

"It would be so nice that it would kill Axton slowly, rotting [him] from the inside out." Well, Ax, it's so NICE that you recognize that. And, that is what you're doing to my respect for you. Rotting it from the inside out. STFU.

"He could have a good life here..." Holy $#!t. The Stockholm syndrome is real. And not the fun stalker romance kind. "The only thing Dana would deny him was the thing that mattered most." Are you even LISTENING to yourself Ax? Do you, does anyone else, get that the one thing--THE ONE THING--that Dana could actually do to MAYBE start to redeem himself from being a worthless POS is the one thing he won't do?

"Her pain was her own and Axton did not know the depth or source of it..."

Really. You really can't guess the source of the woman's whose mate was murdered and who was forced to become the mate of his murderer's pain. You're supposedly missing Leander terribly, went feral wolf from missing him, wished for death because of it, and you can't come up with this answer. Really Ax?
