Nicholae letting Jack fuck him is exactly why he was totally always my favourite and I totally always liked him

“If you are wolf enough to have manifested the traits of an omega after being marked by two Alphas, then I believe there’s a chance, albeit a small one, that you could survive a transformative bite. I’d estimate your odds of survival to be about twenty percent.”

~ TOLD YOU SO

She gets to be raised by her bio parent and her true parent still, lucky Ellie

Okay so why are they destines mates? I always thought some of the mystique of their relationship was that they chose each other despite everything. I guess not...

Wait surely he gets transformed into a wolf to save him? Like, I fear it's the only thing I can think of that makes sense. Perfect amount of angst for a book ending, very tragic, checkov's gun, and cures him for many years (/ the rest of the series)

“Stick around and I’m sure Nicolae will be happy to teach you all the tools of the trade.”
“Trade?” She arched an eyebrow.
“Yeah. Being a furry pain in the ass.”

~ I don't wanna cry, why do I have to love Jack so much :(

“You know we can’t get out of this, Nicolae.”
He closed his eyes and sighed, wrapping his arms around me. It was unexpected, but I relaxed into him like I belonged there. Maybe I did. “I know,” he answered. “And I think I prefer it when you call me Nick. Except in the bedroom. In that case, I like listening to you trying to say it.”
I smiled into his shoulder, squeezing him. “I’ll keep that in mind.”

~ One year :(

“Jack?” His tone was impatient, because even down on one knee, he was still an entitled, egotistical fuck who thought he shouldn’t have to wait for anyone. And goddammit, he didn’t.
“Just to clarify. You’re asking me to marry you?”
He frowned. “What else would I be doing, you backwoods brat?”

~ Ah, he won me over

He pulled something out of his jacket and I began to reconsider the possibility that I was dreaming, or hallucinating, when he got down on one knee. A few wolves who were walking across the corridor gave us some strange glances, but they didn’t say a word. “Say ‘yes.’ And remember, I can make you.” He said it in a wry tone, but the look in his eyes made me doubt he was entirely joking.

~ He's kinda winning me over
