This was an extremely difficult book for me to read. I felt not only did Adam disrespect Bay but so did his entire family with the exception of Maddox. Bay did nothing to deserve their suspicion. She came to the Redwood pack 8 months pregnant....what did they think she was hiding up her shirt?? Why did they have to act like she was a criminal? They happily accepted each of the other mates with little effort from them but Bay was ignored and looked down on for something she had no control over. She saved Adam and Micah with NO help from the mighty Jamenson pack. And she shed her blood to keep the entire pack safe. And I really hated that after 20 YEARS Adam still hasn't moved forward with his life at all, and his entire family acted like that was perfectly acceptable behavior. I have lost people I love and I mourn them to this day but even with the loss that goes right to the morrow of my soul; I have moved on with my life to the best of my ability. Adam broke my heart over and over again with his horrible treatment of Bay. I understand that he loved Anna but his treatment of Bay was unnecessarily harsh, he MATED her so he needed to step up and accept his responsiblities. I actually found myself hating most of the Jamensons' for the way they essentially disregarded Bay, these people are supposed to be all about the importance of "mates" and yet they made no effort to include Bay into their family. She spent most of her time as basically a prisoner under the watchful eye of whichever member of the family was guarding her. Why is it so hard to understand that someone that has spent their whole life alone would be a little afraid and unable to openly share their personal secrets? But Bay so wanted to be accepted that she willingly let them treat her like someone less important just so they would give her and her unborn baby a chance. I don't recall any of the other "Mates" being treated so badly even Josh who was turned into a Demon and Ellie who is the sister of the pack enemy are treated better.  I want to like this story but my heart just hurts at how poorly Bay was treated by her "mate" and his family. I will continue to follow this series simply because I did enjoy the past stories and hope that the Redwood pack can redeem themselves with Maddox and North's stories.
