And yes, it turns out Cain turned King and taught him all that "the strong rule" nonsense, but I'd still expect Chase to know better.(**SPOILER** I did like the plot twist that made Shade's ex Brad the mysterious Alpha, and allowed for a second chance for him. Yesss, it later comes out that Chase had some kind of magical whammy on his defenses, but so far in the books we expect him to see through that nonsense.

And yet Chase, this kid strong enough to shield his mind and free himself from slavery to a demon, couldn't seem to remember any of that when around his mysterious Alpha. Hell, he SHOWED them they could have better. He’d had another model to learn from with Shade’s pack.

But why does Chase ever just buy into his Alpha’s brainwashing? The strong rule? That was some King bullshit and he killed that Alpha in Book 1. I mean, how many times can one guy insult another by calling him a beta or a gamma in one single book? Answer: too many to be effective. I've read a not small portion of the shifter novels on the market, and this one's pack dynamics are particularly bad and abusive, but also boring and illogical.

While the series has been problematic from the beginning (what with the disconnect between the heaviness of the plot and its young teenaged characters), I enjoyed the books for the most part. I generally save my one-star reviews for books that are either offensively bad or insultingly bad. Which he thought was his right as the Alpha. It wasn't stated specifically but there was a good chance that Shade got raped again by the Boston werewolf in this book when he "tamed" her. The fact that the alpha can do anything they want to anyone is messed up. Also this is one of the few books were being a werewolf seems to be terrible. I ask myself every book the purpose of the conclave. Chance is able to get cured from the werewolf bite and get his magic back. The last warlock from when Chance was at the Franklin school showed up and was in league with wolf from Boston and the rogue that bit Chance. The quick storyline with Chance's father and the russians seemed out of place and wasn't really needed. We find out more about Chance's mom and her Roma family in this story. The pack wasn't very prominent in this story either, but we see Shade come into her own. I liked this storyline because I felt that Shade and her pack were taking a back seat in the previous stories. Both are trying to tell Chance he isn't good enough and that Shade needs a strong wolf to mate with. So the rogue that bit him beats the crap out him and tells him what to do, then the wolf from Boston, beats the crap out of him and tells him what to do. Chance now doesn't have a choice but to follow the orders of the Alpha, even if he doesn't want to. While Chance was seen as part of the pack by Shade, he was never a werewolf so he didn't have to worry about the werewolf hierarchy. But now, he and Shade can be together though right? Not exactly. That also means that he is going to lose his magic though.

At the same time, Chance is attacked by the rogue werewolf and is infected. He immediately comes and tries to take over for Shade and tell her what to do. For some reason that means that one of the alpha wolves from Boston has to go and see what is going on. One of Shades pack members is killed by a rogue wolf which requires the conclaves involvement. I think the last book was something of an anomaly.
