I get the whole, Alpha must put the needs of the pack first thing, but if her mate had died, she would have been less whole and that would be no good to anyone. Something to put off until she’s dealt with this issue and that problem and that did not sit well with me. But time after time, Ethan was an after thought I felt. Say, he would have moved the earth to get his mate well! He would have been driven to distraction by it. The sad part is, if this had been an Alpha male, I fear that the story would have been written differently. What continued to frustrate me, was that, Ethan was getting more and more critical and all I saw was Selenka tending to her flock! Your mate needing you and you just kiss him.am I missing something here?!?

This is due to the conditioning and in this case torture but apparently not with, Ethan.

He is very transparent and tells Selenka EVERYTHING! Very unusual for an arrow who are normally closed off and struggle with that openness. Her character felt very wooden to me and forced, like Nalini had to put a strong Alpha female who could control her pack and do it lovingly but where this story starts to fall away for me is, Ethan is in desperate need of help. This story is repetitive and I felt like I was going round in circles. I can’t believe I am giving a, Nalini Singh book two stars! Because Selenka's new mate has a terrible secret, his mind surging with a power that is a creature of madness and death. Even if the mating bond is full of static and not quite as it should be. Yet Selenka's wolf is resolute: Ethan Night, broken Arrow and a man capable of obsessive devotion, is the mate it has chosen. Mating at first sight is a myth, a fairytale. Then violence erupts and Ethan finds himself crashing into the heart and soul of an alpha wolf. Assigned as part of the security force at a world-first symposium, he carries a dark agenda tied to the power-hungry and murderous Consortium. Numb and disengaged from the world, he's loyal only to himself. Ethan Night is an Arrow who isn't an Arrow. That currently includes the empaths who've flowed into her city for a symposium that is a security nightmare, a powder keg just waiting for a match. Alpha wolf Selenka Durev's devotion to her pack is equaled only by her anger at anyone who would harm those under her care. New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh returns to her breathtaking Psy-Changeling Trinity series with a mating that shouldn't exist.
