Rake gaped at me as I forced myself to stop stumbling back, fisting my hands at my sides.
"If this is how the wolves react when someone does something outside the traditions, then… then you need to have your world shaken up a bit I think."

"I didn't say I wouldn't learn- I just meant-"
"You just meant that you aren't going to let anyone tell you that there was another way to handle this. And your pride is going to lead you straight into these circumstances again."
"No! I meant-"
"Do you have any clue what you've done?"
"I mean, I understand that she's not the kind of wolf they'd usually put up for something like this. But I'm not the normal Queen either and-"
