“Look at me, Penelope,” he said in that low voice, so I lifted and turned my head. He used his index finger to rub something thick and sticky onto my lips, and when I darted out my tongue to taste it, I realized it was the honey. Before I knew what was going on, he brought his face to mine and started licking off the honey - gently at first, but then he started really savoring it. He held me by the back of my head as he sucked and licked and made little appreciative sounds. I suddenly realized the sounds were coming from me. I broke the kiss, and his eyes searched my face intently.”

“My mate was blocking his feelings from me. All of them. All the time. Why? Why didn’t he want to share that part of himself with me? I didn’t even know how he did that. Meanwhile, he could probably feel everything I was feeling and thinking. I was mortified. And I felt naked and vulnerable. It was unfair. Nothing about this whole mess was fair. But like Nana always said, fair is a place where they judge pigs.”

“Females now want to like their mate, as well as love him. And whereas the idea of not liking your mate or being unhappy with him is by no means a new concept, it is the first time that females have the freedom to voice it. The old school attitude is that it doesn’t matter how your mate treats you, the bond overrides it all and takes precedence over everything. I know many packs still think like that,” she said, and she seemed hurt by it. “I don’t think that’s true. It’s possible to want your mate, even to love your mate because the bond is forcing you to, but still not to like him.” It felt like the room was spinning. What she was saying was akin to heresy in the eyes of my family. I was scared to think about whether I liked my mate.”

“Why does anyone stay in an unhappy relationship? Because people do. They do it all the time. And the truth is, when you’re in it, when you’re up to your neck in the everyday part of life with another human being, sometimes you don’t exactly notice how bad things really are. It’s not always as apparent as it would seem. Unhappiness, when it involves another person, can be like that line from The Sun Also Rises about going bankrupt, how it happens two ways: gradually, and then suddenly.”
