She's got some things to deal with and she knows that. It works to a degree for Kitty while she attempts to reconcile her human and werewolf sides, but it does not work for the alpha female who has long since reconciled these sides. If you want your werewolves to act like wolves, then fine, but you really should not use that excuse to make with the sex and humiliation for Kitty (it smacks of plot device, btw, not kinky sex because it isn't overly detailed) and then throw aside the wolf behaviors when it suits your plot to do that. It is wolves that mate for life, isn't it? I think it is. She didn't fight, she didn't even respect her mate. It bothered me that with all the emphasis on wolf behavior that in the end Meg, the alpha's wife and the alpha female, used very human means to get what she wanted.

I can't tell you how not okay with that I am, and how happy I am that by the end Kitty had learned to stand up to him and left the pack, because I would not have been coming back for more if that was going to continue. Carl tells her what to do, who to see, slaps her around, and ends it with sex. It's okay for wolves in the wild, I've watched the documentaries, I get all that, but Kitty is a human, at least until she changes into a wolf, and it really is abuse. She's the youngest werewolf in the pack, she eats last, she has no standing, she's at the bottom of the hierarchy.

Kitty herself says it when she says that if she and Carl (her pack alpha) were human she'd be encouraged to leave him because his behavior toward her is abuse. We're going to start with what I really did not like. And now we talk about me and my thoughts.
