Smut Club

well

hello all you beautiful people

you know what time it is

[Music]

ladies and gents

guys and dolls and everyone in between

gather round

get you something real nice to sip on

and comfy to slip on

because it's time

for smut club

here's your hosts chelsea and hannah

[Music]

hey everybody welcome to smug club i'm

hannah and i'm chelsea

and we're just gonna jump right into it

what you guys missed as well no no no no

no no

i think we should bring that in okay so

before we we jump

back into

our reviews which is what everyone is

here for um

we recently reviewed morning glory

milking farm we sure did and there were

a lot of euphemisms for hand jobs there

sure

and honestly my only regret with that

entire episode is that hannah had even

more euphemisms for hand jobs that we

didn't get to

so like just just as a refresher

in our review for morning glory milking

farm we had hugh jackman's we had um

tustin jimberlake we did we had beef

jerkys we did we had uh

kansas milk we had steak and shake

um

we had what what didn't we have that

we were remiss to not have

we missed uh burping the baby

we missed tickle my pickle

tickling the pickle as it were

uh

we missed the landau

which i liked so

this is a tangent on the tangent since

we haven't even started our review of

this episode yet

i um i went to seminary for france

i went to a very conservative seminary

for grad school so seminary handshake is

on the list

okay so

i took in the summer

once a year as a summer course they

offered human sexuality sure i also took

human sexuality but not at seminary

yes and to like it was actually one of

well you know i would i wonder if i took

it now if i'd still feel the same but

like at the time i was like this is a

really great class i really wish

everyone could take this class but our

very first day because you have all

these like seminarians who like feel

like super like awkward when it comes to

like anything sexual

after our lunch break we come in and it

was like a very very long

classroom with stadium seating like the

stadium seating only went like three or

four rows back and it was just like a

very long classroom okay and there's

whiteboard

across the entire front of the room

and when we walk in they're just like

oral sex

hand job

intercourse like all of these like

subject lines almost on top of the

whiteboard

and so then they're like hey guys we

want you to come up with a with a

whiteboard marker and write every

euphemism you can think of for all of

these things so then you have like all

of these like seminarians like giggling

i'm like look i'm gonna put this and i'm

gonna put that i would have won that

game like i don't know if it was a

competition but i would have won

something hannah i knew i would win

and it wasn't a competition

which was why i was like you need to

stay in your lane because people already

don't like you in seminary because you

have tattoos and piercings and your

and a vagina and opinions how dare you

right the vagina and opinions the

audacity of jesus just living my life in

seminary

and uh

but my favorite part was like people

were writing all of these euphemisms on

the board and there were definitely some

that i was like

that's not what that means you did

category not

a rusty trombone or something yes there

were things where they're like

the beast with two backs and i'm like

okay but that's clearly just like sex

like you that shouldn't have gone under

another category yeah and so then like i

included like writing the bologna pony

yes and like was trying to like

toe the line there sure to be fair i

think that's what i did a lot in

seminary i just like towed the line and

pissed everyone off and then to be fair

that almost got me evicted and i did get

put on disciplinary probation and almost

got it for finding the bologna pony no

because someone reported me for drinking

and it was against the school policy oh

my stars

chelsea

well and then like our apartment manager

was like

chelsea someone reported that you like

came into the building intoxicated one

night and i was like listen

i am loud and i am clumsy and that could

have been completely sober and he goes

yeah honestly

i don't really know what this says about

who reported it versus me like thank you

right yeah yes so that's that was a

tangent just about

the euphemisms the and like and all of

these seminarians using several of them

incorrectly that's the best part what

was there was like one that was like

puff the magic dragon no no

no no

that's a that's a marijuana reference

not a sexual reference but once again

that's not something that i felt like i

could correct in seminary without

putting another target on my back yeah

as if my tattoos didn't do enough like

if you had put up like

clobbering the clown that would have

been like essentially the nail in the

coffin you know what i mean and what i

would like to do

is just open it up for any listeners who

feel so inclined

like

i don't know where we're posting this or

where we're sharing this or whatever but

like post what you know man like what

are what are your performances that you

think are really funny i'm all about a

clever

sexual euphemism we love it and and for

those of you who again listen to the

morning glory milking farm episode you

will know

there were a lot and there could have

been more

um there definitely could have been more

okay so there could have been more but

what were they what did we miss but like

that could have been part of that

journey

um ham job is a good one ham job uh-huh

a josh walker

um holiday delight

muppet necking is my favorite one

actually that i didn't get to

muppet necking holy [ __ ] muppet necking

um a diabetes

i'm really sorry i'm so sorry to those

of you with a chronic illness of

diabetes

we apologize

um a tuggy which is a classic

um steve jobs which i appreciate

r.i.p uh sure uh milkshake flapjack

really a lot of different food groups

here

um

and honestly food euphemisms are like a

league of their own yes they really are

i could do a whole episode on just food

music euphemisms

um eight inch bicep curl is another good

one

um the midas touch is one of my

favorites nothing solid one

you know i really do enjoy the greek and

roman mythology so the midas touch

really speaks to me

um

yeah

yeah that's probably i'm trying to see

if i missed any

um

the british forearm is a good one i feel

well i guess that's not masturbation

from

from that review you'll have to go back

but am i i was like oh like rosie palmer

feels like one that we've missed that

feels like an obvious one yeah yeah yeah

yeah

um

the snug tug the hamburglar

the hamburglar all right i think i think

we should leave it with you we should

just leave it with amber i don't think

we can get any better than a list that

we've already had but if you are

listening to this and feel like you can

improve upon the list we would love

absolutely love to hear

how you would improve it yes i i want to

know because i feel like my list is

fairly comprehensive but i'm also aware

that it is not complete so anything that

can be added i'm very open to

we love that we have an open energy yes

it's all about openness honesty and

willingness you know

much like our podcast

so

from that vantage point let's hop in to

today's review which is

farrell sins

by

suzanne wright

it is the first book in the phoenix pack

series and tell me what is it about

chelsea

it's about

the relationship between two shifters

what kind of shifters [ __ ] you hannah

it is about a relationship between two

wolf shifters

whoa

whoa

for those who have not been tracking us

thus far

chelsea really struggles with the word

wolf and that includes werewolf that

includes wolf rick it includes all kind

of things

so

woof

woof woof

i said it

woofrick was the character

was the character in neighbors um this

book is about wolf shifters

wolf shifters wolf

shifters

so here's the thing i can either say

woof or you can hear me slowly pronounce

this word to get it correct every time

and that's really going to eat into how

long you listen to this podcast if you

aren't listening on time and a half

so sure sure

if i say it fast no one will notice sure

ghost shifters anyways so this is

farrell sims the first book in the

phoenix pack series by suzanne wright

about wolf shifters uh-huh

and so

we i'm just gonna tell you about our two

main characters you have

taryn warner taryn

taryn is our main female love interest

and then you have trey coleman

trey is the alpha over the phoenix pack

taryn is the daughter of lance warner

who is an alpha of his own pack

i don't know i don't know they mentioned

it once or twice i honestly don't

remember what his packs title is

no one really cares if we're being

completely honest sure so

something important to know about taryn

is she is a latent shifter

so what that means is she's a grown-up

like she's like 23 and she has never

shifted like she like has like she's a

shifter she has her wolf inside her but

like who like she can like feel and like

understands her energy and they like

reverb off each other but she's never

actually successfully shifted into

her woof form ever and so there's a lot

of disgrace around this so she doesn't

have access to her wolf like full access

yes she doesn't have full access she has

some like she like understands her

wolf's emotions she

hannah like the look on her face every

time i say this word i'm honestly trying

to figure out how to review this book

without saying the word wolf and we just

don't look at my face

i won't look at your face anymore okay

so yes she she has access and like

understands her emotions understands her

frustrations understands like what she's

feeling at all times right but

her wolf has never fully surfaced has

never

presented we so that's a thing and

there's a lot of shame in that

and like there's a lot of like

who gives a [ __ ] you're you're late and

she's also a healer

and so pretty much her role in her her

father's pack is like she's the

she's the pack [ __ ] she's just like the

healer and like

even when she like goes out to the club

like she can't like drink or have fun

with her friends because she's always on

call for anyone who might need healing

and like her mother and

and mate passed away

when she was like nine years old so like

she like wait wait wait wait hold up and

rewind she had a mate at nine years old

so

in the shifting community there are true

mates and then you can like imprint upon

someone if they aren't your true mate

but you want to have a long-standing

relationship with them okay

and so when she was a child her

childhood best friend joey everyone knew

was her true mate and he died in a car

accident i think it was a car accident i

don't fully remember died in an accident

with her mother

oh that's a double weight so like in one

fell swoop she's a child

she loses

her

her true mate and she loses her mother

and is like is distraught and then she's

late and and so like as an adult like

her dad's like really a dick and super

abusive and it's like

like well your mother would have been

ashamed to have a latent shifter as a

child like it's just really like taking

advantage of his daughter

and

her dad is also very like alliance heavy

and always wants to make alliances with

different packs and so like isn't afraid

to make like an alliance out of

a marriage and so he's like nah he's

very willing to sell taran off which we

will get to in a second so he's power

hungry he's very power hungry yeah lance

not vance like my husband

two different people vance is not a

wolf shifter

i love that you said it the way i say it

to make me feel better i did do that i

really appreciate that you're welcome um

for the record my husband is not a

shifter his name is vance i love him

he's not a shifter if he was there'd be

a lot more questions and conversations

to be had

we probably wouldn't have them on a

podcast though because of like the

government probably trying to come take

him away i would imagine oh yeah we need

to keep that [ __ ] under wraps yeah that

is not something we could publish just

to be very clear

vance is not

a shifter of any kind

i'm really glad we cleared that up yeah

yes you're welcome okay so we have

taran warner and that's kind of her

backstory

and then we have trey coleman

and trey is the leader of this pack

now trey

when he was 14 challenged his own father

for alpha

for the role of alpha and like his

father lost the challenge trey didn't

kill him which is like kind of customary

in a lot of these challenges and battles

right did not kill his father

but then the pack was like let's just

instead of giving trey his rightful

position as alpha of this pack let's

banish him instead

so trey's pack is made up of people who

were like [ __ ] that [ __ ] that is not

okay he won this battle he won this

challenge we are going to honor him as

our alpha

so they all left with him okay so the

phoenix pack is all people who left

trey's father's pack so he crawls he

caused like a great divide at this point

yes when he was like 14 years old

so in a little bit of backstory with

that is like i forget how old he was he

may have been a baby but like a

someone a gypsy i don't know someone

with prophetic abilities sure told his

father that like

trey would usurp him at some point

and then like that kind of set it in

stone right so his dad has been trey's

entire life planning for what his son

will inevitably try and overtake him

which obviously is gonna impact their

dynamics when his dad doesn't want to

lose his role as alpha right

so this the book is all starting

where trey's father has passed away i

don't remember how honestly it's not

super important to the general story

but the beta of that pack daryl

who is trey's uncle

has taken over and is now the pac alpha

and has reached oh

yes

and he has

um

sent in a formal request to the

council i don't really know how this

works

to reunite the packs

so basically

he would be absorbing lance's pack of

the phoenix

well what lance isn't the phoenix pack

oh okay okay trey is the phoenix pack

alpha oh oh oh oh oh and then so there's

yes and that's why like there's there's

a lot of detail that i just want to make

sure we all are clear on the front lance

has the phoenix pack so nope

[ __ ] a trey had killed it the phoenix

has the phoenix pack

taryn's father lance has his so we're

talking about three packs okay the pack

that trey's uncle daryl is the alpha of

got it and then trey is the alpha of

phoenix pack right and then taryn's

father lance is the alpha of a third

pack and

daryl wants to absorb

trey's pack

yes he's saying like hey let's reunite

these packs there's no reason we need to

be separate and trey's like the [ __ ] we

are gonna reunite these packs right

because i won that battle and no one

honored that i won the challenge

and so no we aren't going to reunite

these packs and i'm not all about this

so like that's like

where we start in the book okay

so technically where we start in the

book

is taryn waking up in an unknown bed

we've in the future learned that it is

trey's bed she wakes up and she's like

what's this like delicious smell of like

this like we've all been there babe it's

all good right who hasn't woken up in a

bed after some strange

actually i'm totally kidding because

they didn't bone what we find out is um

trays like enforcers like well we knew

you wouldn't come willingly to talk to

us so we drugged you and brought you

here

um

can't relate to that [ __ ] right and

like that is

have have some have we

maybe historically woken up in someone's

bed after some strange yes where we

drugged to get there no it was willing

and consensual and that's what matters

consent is important yes yes so taryn

wakes up and in this strange bed and

it's also like there's a really really

yummy smell happening around she's into

that yes she's very into what is

ultimately trey's scent

and so trey

is like hey

why don't we make a deal

because i know

your father is trying to get an alliance

and

i want you to pretend to be my mate

and so let's pretend to be mates

and then

your dad will then be my alliance

against my uncle

in this whole battle that feels like a

recipe for disaster

in total honesty well if it didn't

happen

we wouldn't have a book hannah

i mean i suppose it could work out

really well

but

it also like

if we look at that cost benefit sort of

situation it

feels risky so it's also worth noting

trey's true mate

has also passed away oh no but their

situation was a little bit different his

true mate passed away when she was

a newborn

uh

wait

wait wait wait so how do we know yeah so

you see what happened was

what had happened was

um this woman was holding her crying

baby and then trey took the baby and the

baby stopped crying like looked up at

him and the mom was like holy [ __ ] y'all

are true mates and trey's like oh [ __ ] i

don't know i'm fourteen

one you just handed me a crying baby

and then two months later

the baby passed away like in their sleep

like never woke up which is very very

sad but then trey's like

do i grieve this do i not i don't know

if i felt this connection

but

they like they said we were true mates

but i was young and like we never got to

know each other so like he kind of feels

some turmoil

around us as a whole but the general

thought being

both of them have lost their true mates

so they're not like holding out hoping

to find the other one or anything of

that capacity

so

trey

has his enforcers drug taran and this is

where we start like we start with her

being drugged and waking up with their

pack

that's a bold choice right and so like

she goes and wanders and like have this

full conversation

and trey's like hey would you agree

to a fake mating with me like just a

fake mating

just to get us through

my uncle's challenge of our pack we need

alliances this would like be great for

both of us

and then there's also the fact that

taryn's father lance has been trying to

get an alliance with this dude roscoe

roscoe why is there always a roscoe this

roscoe is the [ __ ] worst like i don't

know if any of the rascals are good

they're not but this roscoe is like very

like

into

breaking

alpha females and to like being

submissive and like

and taryn's like i see like his smile

doesn't reach his eyes and it's smarmy

and i don't trust him but like everyone

else is like no like we're so excited so

taryn's father lance is trying to get an

alliance with roscoe and her father

lance is super abusive of her anyway yes

like they do not have a great

relationship okay okay so he wouldn't be

holding out on this relationship because

of the possible impact on taryn like he

doesn't give a [ __ ] no in fact taryn's

like you know there's rumors about like

everyone talks about how like roscoe

beats women and his dad is like well

maybe you need a man with a firm hand

oh no yes like no no no no like no one

has taryn's back here so trey is like

hey what if we mate

and like

say like we like we found each other

we're true mates

and then i can get an alliance with your

dad that'll help

us get through this battle with my uncle

and then when we get on the other side

we can pick up our bad

we

we

scented each other incorrectly we are

not true mates and then just like

go about our lives and so

taryn's like okay i don't fully hate

this idea because i want to get the [ __ ]

out from the potential of having to

marry roscoe because he is a psycho so

that would be the condition of the

alliance between lance her father and

roscoe the leader of the other pack

would be her marriage to him

yes if if roscoe like if she mated with

roscoe also worth noting um like there's

in the shifter community there's

claiming marks and so like you bite

someone like they have a claiming mark

that shows like

i belong to someone yes exactly

and roscoe

bit taryn and like left a claiming mark

that like she wasn't chill with so like

she's like covering it with makeup and

like yeah in the book they even say like

in this community it's almost like a

form of assault right i would say that's

like a non-consensual yeah that's not

cool well and so like because like trey

notices like she's covering this like

mark with makeup and he's like why are

you covering this mark and she's like

because i didn't ask for this [ __ ] like

he's not my mate and i'm not doing this

and so

they hatched this whole plan because her

dad's like hey your mating ceremony to

roscoe's gonna be the next full moon

that's a that's a week out

and so they hatched this whole plan

where taryn is at the pulse which is the

shifter club

exactly

and

they they organically plan that like

trey will happen to be there

and they'll cross paths and so and so

organically right

and so how it apparently happens in this

community is like you might be like

passing and like you sent the other

person like holy [ __ ] they smell so good

and then you like rub your nose all up

in their neck and then

you bite them and so and then they're

yours i guess that's kind of how this

like mating claiming huh works and like

so

taryn is at the club she's sober she has

to heal someone from her old pack

and she is with being the pack healer

there's different types of healing and

the way in which she heals is like

she like puts

her hands on their body and like figures

out like where the issue is and then

it's like mouth to mouth and she's like

i'm not removing the injury but i'm

sucking the bad out of it

and so she'll be like hey i need you to

open the window so she's taking out bad

vibes and then like yeah like mouse cpr

she takes in all of the bad from their

body and then breathes out the bad and

like through the window into the ether

okay and then

she does that enough times and like

removes the bad fully and then they're

healed

so that's how that works in this world i

mean okay right i've signed on to a lot

already so i'm just gonna

let that ride yes

so

their stage meeting goes as planned they

they pass each other he smells her she

smells him they start grinding on each

other

as one does right he bites her she

orgasms

powerful bite on the neck it must be all

i'm saying so wait does she actually

orgasm or does she like fake and orgasm

for the sake of the claiming no she

actually orgasms okay and they're like

super into each other's smells and like

really like

they're doing well with each other even

though this is like supposed to be fake

so like the whole smell thing i just

kind of struggle with sometimes

but then i think back to i had i had

kovitz last year

um or i guess two years ago now and i

lost my sense of smell

and i remember getting super depressed

and crying and giving my husband a kiss

on his forehead and just sobbing and he

was like what is wrong and i was like i

can't i can't smell you and he was like

okay

like please go to sleep so i mean i know

that smell is important well i think a

lot smell is related to taste

one time i was sick and my husband [ __ ]

okay

i wasn't licking my husband's forehead i

didn't think you were looking at your

husband's forehead i was thinking of

when i had a cold

and my husband and i were very newly

married and there was a soup i really

liked and bless his sweet soul he's like

chelsea doesn't feel well she she's sick

she left work early i'm gonna make her

the soup that she really likes that we

have on hand and we're ready for it

um we also like really spicy things and

i wouldn't say my husband taste tested

this soup as he was going

and so i cannot smell or taste a damn

thing

and he's so excited about this soup he

made and i took one bite and i couldn't

taste anything but i suddenly felt the

spice and numbness pain yeah yeah yeah

and i burst into tears

and my husband is like i'm so sorry i'll

never make you soup again i said no no

that's not

that's not the end result of this i'm

sorry

that's no please make me soup in the

future but yes that's why that was what

i was thinking of when i said smell and

taste

are related

um sure not to be weirder than that so

but as soon as like

trey claims taryn in this capacity it

breaks her pack link so like her dad

her dad is suddenly like what the [ __ ] i

don't know where taryn is like she's no

longer in our pack link

so he could sense her when she was part

of the pack okay

and so

like all of the pack link they have like

some sort of bond where they can feel at

some level i think it's like

but wait so when roscoe did his claiming

it did not break the pack link

correct okay okay yeah so like rosco was

like i'm gonna force this to happen so

i'm just gonna bite her and make it

happen right and then like

physiologically the universe was like we

will not be doing that [ __ ] you roscoe

we do not co-sign your [ __ ] exactly

yeah

so

lance shows up at the bar

and is like you need to come home with

me and trey's like you aren't taking my

mate away from me i just found my mate

and everyone's like

no we actually just oh [ __ ] yeah like

everyone's like watching it it's like no

we saw we just saw this happen like this

is like a true mating a true mate

situation that just happened where they

just found each other we all watched it

it was organic it was honest it was true

even though they orchestrated it and

faked it

yes but also this means that like

they're then denying

like she's like oh i guess i was wrong

about joey in my childhood being my true

mate because he's like i guess i was

wrong about the infant but no one really

knows about the infant because like

there's kind of like some shame there

like

so trey's father was super abusive

and

trauma bonding uh yeah there's a lot of

trauma bonding happening um

but also

just

i don't know honestly i lost where that

was going i don't even know my my dog

started whimpering i got distracted

um

yeah he never really told anyone about

summer because summer was the the name

of the little girl who died because he

was really upset when she passed away

and he started like destroying his room

and his dad put it together what

happened and started teasing him about

it oh so like trey

isn't the most emotionally developed

human because he was never really shown

how to do that right that makes sense

right so like lance shows up the bar and

is like i'm taking my daughter home with

me and trey's like the [ __ ] you are

taking my mate away from me she's mine

now

and so everyone's like yeah we're kind

of like even like

lance's enforcers and like

bodyguards are like no we saw it happen

like

you gotta

you gotta let her go you gotta surrender

her to try yes and mind you like taryn

had already like

put a bag of clothes in her car ready

for this occasion she's like i'm out

yes

so then

that's only like part of the claim like

he like bit her but like the rest of the

claiming process is actually like

engaging in sex and like but it's very

he's an alpha and she's an alpha female

and so there's a lot of like

submission issues where he's like

like oh like i want you to submit she's

like i'm not i'm not a submissive

like i'm not a beta i'm not i'm not

submissive like i am an alpha female i

will not submit to you unless like you

deserve me to submit to you right you

need to prove yourself to me exactly so

there's a lot of like

i don't know the claiming process

there's a lot of him like chasing her

around like it's not

it's not non-consensual right but it's

also like she's like you won't get me

like you you won't you won't make me

submit and he's like watch me and then

at some point it's like a primal kink

a little bit like

they use the word like impaled

at some point

[Laughter]

honestly my exact notes say claiming

process chased and impaled on dick

i mean if you're gonna be impaled i

guess on dick is the way to go one would

hope i would there are there are other

things i would

rather not be impelled on if there's an

option i mean i don't think i would want

to be impaled on anything

just generally speaking but if i got to

choose i guess i wouldn't choose

one of all the options of what i could

be impaled on i guess a dick is the the

least of the evils

yeah i just think of like vlad the

impaler like i don't

i don't want like a steak through my

abdomen

like

no no

no no one wants that let's avoid that

so

he claims her he chases her around

there's also like a lot of marking in

this process where he's like you're mine

and there's there's like a lot of

possessive energy happening dominant

situation yes or he's like i want

everyone to know you're mine now and so

like she like shows up to breakfast and

everyone's like i thought my claim at

night was rough like damn girl good for

you and then like everyone's like yeah

we hurt you as well like you guys are

not quiet with your sexual shenanigans

like the

the beta is like i'm pretty sure i heard

her call him a [ __ ] ass ass

licking [ __ ]

so

the pack is fully aware of

this new claim but

the phoenix pack is also aware that like

this is a mating of convenience for now

oh so trey so they're all in on trey did

tell all of them beforehand like hey

this is our plan moving forward there's

one hoe in the pack her name is selma

trey [ __ ] her

once

years ago and in her head ever since and

she's like i'm inevitably going to be

the alpha female of this pack

and trey's like we [ __ ] once years ago

you shall not be the alpha female but

like selma's like really doubling down

on this like image of herself

and so she does not [ __ ] with taran so

like most of the people in the pack are

kind of like i guess you're here and

we're accepting for now but then there

are like one or two that are like

you're only here for a few weeks or like

for like 12 weeks or however long it is

and like we can't wait to get rid of you

and like [ __ ] you goodbye

so

um

yes then they go and like they meet with

trey's uncle about like reuniting the

packs and

trays and they're like we don't want to

do that and trace like if if that is if

you're going to hold to this request we

will formally challenge you and trey's

uncle's like come at me bro we're going

to do this challenge i will like we will

reunite these packs

and trey's like

okay i guess we're we're gearing up to

this unless we can get a transition at

some point so

we find out that daryl trey's uncle

is still going to challenge and so they

have this battle coming up

we also find out that roscoe gets wind

that taryn has now made it to someone

else and he's like [ __ ] y'all she's my

mate i have an alliance planned i

already bit her

she is my mate

and so trey is once again like well

you're gonna have to challenge me for

that because she's mine bro

so

right it's being consummated [ __ ] like

yeah okay

right it's misogynistic and gross but

okay so

roscoe shows up to phoenix pack

territory and is like i'm challenging

you she's mine

and trey's like she's not get over it

and roscoe's like

like

just completely

nugging him about it and he's like oh

you're like what do you what okay like

so they decided to battle and then they

changed into their wolf form and so also

worth noting trey when he shifts

frequently turns feral

and just like

is no longer like his wolf completely

takes over there's no human there

okay he's just like it's a challenge it

needs to die and like no rhyme or reason

can stop him and it's very difficult to

bring him back from the space when his

wolf goes

this hardcore sure i see you smirking

over my description of woof we're gonna

move past it

hey there smud puppies

we'll get you right back to the show in

just a moment but first

do you like us maybe even

love us

because we sure love you

and if you do love us

don't tease us

tell us in those ratings and reviews

wherever you're listening right now

maybe even send us over to a special

sexy someone that would enjoy getting

smutty with us

because you know the first rule of smug

club

is to talk about smut club

all right i won't keep you any longer

let's get back to the show

[Music]

so

roscoe challenges

trey right and they battle

trey wipes the floor with him like it is

like not a battle it's really honestly

kind of sad to watch in fact like

roscoe's like

pack is all behind him

and they're like yeah this is kind of

how we thought this was gonna go

like we're embarrassed but we knew we

were going to be right yeah and so taryn

what's like

what then everyone's like losing their

[ __ ] about is that

trey is still feral in his wolf form she

calls him cujo when he is in that form

so she's like okay she's like hey cujo

come here and so everyone's like don't

go near him he's feral he will hurt you

and she's like he won't hurt me i swear

and she's like i don't actually feel

that confident but i am just going to

say it anyway and she's like and he has

some injuries that i can't heal until he

shifts back to his human form

so

she starts engaging with him and like

brings him out of this feral state

and gets him to transition back and

shift backs then everyone's like losing

their [ __ ] over the fact that like she

was able to like talk down a feral

shifter right so they really are mates

it's not a

convenience thing like it's real life

it's convenient but they're because they

are still linked they like are mates for

now okay okay but they also are trying

to avoid the imprinting process from

starting so if you aren't true mates you

can still develop your bond and your

link through the imprinting process like

twilight exactly okay um

but once you've started imprinting if

you separate in the future it's a very

difficult thing because you've imprinted

that you are that you belong to each

other right so imprinting is a choice

not necessarily like if your

relationship just continues to progress

naturally you can unintentionally just

start the imprinting process as your

relationship continues okay okay so both

of them are like

yes trey and taran are like we are mated

for now

but we are not trying to imprint on each

other we realize this has a has an end

date

so then everyone is like even more

amazed when

she can calm him down and get him out of

his feral state

okay

um

so then trey gets like super in his head

about this whole mating and is like

she talked me down and then

whenever she does like uses her healing

abilities it really like weakens her

and it just takes a lot of energy so

like right she like healed trey and then

he was like you're never using your gift

again you look worse than i did before

we came in here

and

it's like that's a whole thing in itself

where like she like heals him but like

after she healed him he really started

like withdraw when he's like thinking

about their bond and like not like like

they made it sh he's like holy [ __ ] she

calmed me down when i was feral

like

we we don't want to imprint i really

need to withdraw and pull back

so he promotes his head enforcer tau

to being tau

t-a-o okay

tau

he promotes head enforcer tao to the

role of taryn's bodyguard

um so that way he's like i don't need to

be around her as much because

i've appointed someone so i can put some

like emotional distance between us right

so i don't have to protect her and watch

out for her my number two has got it

i can buy my own business and not become

more attached to her exactly so he

starts like really pulling back but like

at this point like

they're boning on the reg

[Laughter]

attachments have been formed yes like

there are attachments being formed like

she started to feel him withdraw a

little bit like normally like he always

like comes back and like gets there and

she like he like gets into bed one night

like doesn't like cuddle up to her and

she's like oh [ __ ] like i made it with a

dude who doesn't even want me um so like

she's having all of these feelings and

frustrations

and so

taryn's best friends from her

from her father's pack had been at the

club with her that night and like

watched all this go down but they're

still like we're not entirely sure that

this is a true mating because like we

knew

joey we knew

you in childhood

are you safe are you good were you just

trying to get away from roscoe what the

[ __ ] is happening so like so they didn't

know the plan no her friends did not

know the plan only trace pack knew the

plan

so they come out to visit

and like get assurances and like when

they're there

trey is super like

he like comes out does the act as the

show pulls her on his lap but then like

both of their woofs yes i realize woofs

um

both of their wool

um both of their woofs are like feeling

agitated because they're feeling the

disconnect from their humans and like

being like like like their wolfs are

like because they're wolves are mates

and so they're like

what the [ __ ] why aren't you spending

time with them like and so they're

getting more agitated

so

then when like taran's friends come and

like trey's like putting on this show

that they're good like both are what's

like oh like thank god we're like

finally touching again like this feels

so nice

and then we also find out like taryn is

a bird whisperer

hold up

i don't i don't want to hold up hold up

what

i don't [ __ ] know what

so there's a bird whisperer there's a

crow like animals have just always been

drawn to her

and so there's a crow who lives on the

property of pak territory who takes a

liking to her and like

shows up follows her around when she

goes on a run he follows her and so

she's a bird whisperer this is going to

come into play in in the future not

quite now so she's not just like friends

with the one bird they've decided she's

the bird whisperer but there's one main

bird there's one made main crow

sure she was going to come up see now

all i can think about is old chrome

edison the band and wagon wheel the song

that's all i can think of now my husband

and i lived in nashville for so long and

every single [ __ ] troubadour every

single

honky tonk

if like every single karaoke participant

i imagine it was like if i hear wagon

wheel

one more time i'm gonna bash my head in

with a wagon wheel was where i got now

mind you my parents also live in the

middle of nowhere but then the nearest

city to them is johnson city tennessee i

was gonna say johnson city tennessee

you're right it's so annoying because

i'm like i both loathe the song after

hearing it so many [ __ ] times

but also i'm like

proud of johnson city for making it into

a song so it's a weird dichotomy

anyway aside from old crow medicine in

general right we have a crow in the

equation we have a crow she calls him lj

i don't remember what lj stands for she

gives the crow nickname

so

like taryn is going about her life

bummed feeling very confused about this

whole like trey pulling back emotionally

goes for pizza with her bodyguard towel

and

like when trey realizes like she's not

around like he loses his [ __ ] that like

she's not there and then you're like but

you've also been withdrawing and she's

like she wanted pizza right you sent her

away basically but what we also find out

is like tao

has some feelings

for taryn or tao right it's like he's

her bodyguard but also like is kind of

benefiting from trey withdrawing

but when i get back onto unpacked

territory when she's like talking to

trey and trey's like you like you like

where did you go like i didn't know and

it's like super upset about it

well then they go out to her car and

someone has vandalized her car unpacked

territory

like they like spray painted like [ __ ]

and huge letters on the side of her car

kind of energy i mean if you're into

like a degradation kink and i guess

that'd be cool but there's not a

decoration kink in this book though

someone just vandalized the car cool

it's not cool in this book and it's not

washable paint i meant no and like so

like taran and like trey are both like

super upset about this and she's like

all right like i'm like trying to like

stay strong

i already gave up everything in my life

to come join this pack to not have to

marry roscoe

and

now my mate is withdrawing and my car is

vandalized like i'm just getting through

what the [ __ ] but like i'll make it

so she like she keeps going in this this

capacity but then it we come upon the

anniversary of her

deceased mother's birthday okay and so

trey's in his office and his beta whose

name is dante and two of his enforcers

come in and they're like what the [ __ ]

did you do

and he's like what are you talking about

and they're like taryn's not okay like

taryn is a shell of a human she's not

talking she's not engaging to anyone

what did you do he's like i don't know

like she seemed a little subdued this

morning but i don't know

and they're like well you need to fix it

like she's clearly

not okay right and so then like trey

follows them out and like finds her

and then he's like like talk to me like

baby what's wrong and she's like

no you don't get to like pull this now

but you you can't decide that we're

mates now you can't decide this is cool

now like you can't pull away from me and

then show up now exactly she's like [ __ ]

you i want to be alone so can we time

out for a moment and appreciate that

his number two

and two of his enforcers were like

taran's upset obviously

like trey [ __ ] up like it wasn't like

something must have happened it was like

trey's a douche like

like immediately came at him and so

after she like calmed him down when he

went feral outside of like selma and

like a couple other like of her friends

in the pack

like it entirely gained the respect of

everyone else in the pack so then

everyone has like accepted her as their

alpha female even if it's only temporary

like

all of the enforcers all of the pack is

like super defensive of her and they're

like no she's our alpha female now

so then they like

see trey not around as much they see her

pulling back and they're like what in

the actual [ __ ] you need to fix this

this is worse than usual right right

right

and then once again trey is like trying

to be like

no baby talk to me and she's like no

quite literally leave me the [ __ ] alone

you don't get to like decide when to do

this right right

i can't just be your mate when you feel

like it and then not when you're not

into it exactly yeah and so then like

she takes off

and goes down to the river but then she

like smells all of them and she's like i

guess i'm not alone like i asked to be

so then she sent all of them on on a

wild goose chase

like they they come and find trey and

they're like taryn's gone we can't find

her and trace like what do you mean you

can't find her then like he starts

losing his [ __ ] because he really does

care he just like doesn't do well with

emotional connections and is like was

feeling like he needed to withdraw to

like self

preserve right

and so

they're like taryn's gone we followed

her like you said we can't find her

anywhere now

so she led them on an entirely wild

goose chase covered herself nice and

snuck back into

their

like caves where they live and went down

to one of the guest rooms not see not a

sea cave not like master salt and bone

just a normal cave in the side of a

mountain

yes and so she's in one of the guest

rooms there and then like trey comes in

and finds her and he was the one who

kind of put together like

she probably sent us on a wild goose

chase because she said she wanted to be

alone

so

then trey's like laying there with her

while she's asleep and like he goes

through the shoe box that she had been

holding that had all of these like

childhood memories like

she doesn't know he's there she's asleep

okay okay so he finds her and she's

asleep in the room yes okay so she's

asleep has this shoe box of memories he

starts going through it

realizes it's her mother's birthday then

it's like man i'm such a [ __ ] [ __ ]

like yeah like i can't believe i've been

doing all this [ __ ] i

this isn't like even if like this isn't

forever she's still my mate i'm hurting

her i need to like not do this and so

let's let's fix this

so

because trey is emotionally stunted and

not great with with his vocabulary

he's like

i'm going to

give her a [ __ ]

and i'm going to go down on her to make

this up to her um

and so

he she wakes up they have a conversation

okay he

he apologizes in his own way

and then is like let me please let me

smell you please let me go down on you

please like let me apologize in this way

this is how i know how to

apologize physically

hold on though that's not a blow job

that's not

like but [ __ ] is not not

interchangeable with eating somebody out

i feel like okay well that's probably

more on me than andre

like i'm thinking like

like head is exchangeable you

know several glasses of wine and hannah

i need a little more patience

i'm doing my best i just thought that

was in the book i was like god damn

y'all should be fine to make another

list that is not how it works my actual

note just says apology oral

so

that's that's really

and so like you know that might be the

best kind of oral

right

you know like thank you i appreciate it

you're welcome we're getting back on

track apology oral carry on so there's

apology oral they're like back on their

track now and doing well

relatively speaking

and so then

trey goes to me

taryn's dad to talk about an alliance

and to actually have that conversation

and so there's definitely like

i think her name was brody from um

taryn's original pack like shows up at

the diner and is like you're late and

like [ __ ] you like how could you ever be

like no one will ever respect you as an

alpha female

and

taryn sends that like

sends like i don't know i don't know

what word to use for it

emits her alpha vibes and energy and

like smothering everyone with her power

and trey's like oh holy [ __ ] she's been

holding back this entire time like she

might be late and like she is powerful

af as

a

shifter and as an alpha and like she is

very much to be respected in that right

mm-hmm and so then like

taryn's dad is sitting there i'm like oh

[ __ ] maybe i've underestimated my

daughter this whole time

and they end up like securing this

alliance with taryn's father lance not

vance my husband

with the understanding that trey and

taryn are going to remain

mated

so yes per from lance's understanding

okay taryn is now with her true mate and

they will be together forever

and taryn and trey's understanding is

like this has a shelf life and a time

limit got it yes because they're they're

just trying to get through and have

enough alliances to get through

the battle and the the challenge with

trey's uncle daryl right

so

after that when they get back to pack

territory like some [ __ ] happens

honestly i don't really remember and it

was it was pretty trivial um but then if

i'm remembering correctly taryn is

taking a bath and she like hears a

tapping on the window no

and she like looks out and it's the crow

she befriended someone killed the crow

and and hung it upside down outside her

window making it like attack with her

not though not not lj the crow i have a

crow tattoo we can't kill crows that's

[ __ ] up right it was like she like

lost her [ __ ] in the book and then it's

like do i need to leave like what is

happening right and it's like clearly a

threat yes like her car had been

vandalized the crow that she befriended

has been killed like clearly shit's not

okay

and

so then we're just like but we don't

really know

where the threat is coming from who's

doing this but there's like there's

clearly someone in the pack who's not

aligned with everyone else i mean smells

like selma

it does it smell like selma i mean maybe

i think one of my favorite things when i

review books is you guessing along the

way what happens and then me

unfortunately telling you no that's not

girl is it tau

no damn girl be chill

i have no chill i've never had chill i

will never obtain chill i am chillless

right all right so right around the time

that this happens

there's a

i don't remember the name of it but

essentially like social media for packs

like

there's like a website where like every

pack can have their own individual

group yeah like their own world but then

it will also show you like who's alive

who's in an alliance with other people

then you can reach out and message

people so if you want to get in contact

with another pack you can do that that

way as well okay

so taryn

helped

the phoenix pack didn't know that this

like existed and there's a dude who's

more tech savvy so like she tells them

all about it and helps them get all set

up on this pack link website kind of

energy

and she's like oh cool well i was also

able to find my uncle's pack

and

my like my my mother's brother's pack

okay and so i want to reach out and try

and establish in a relationship with

them

so that way i'll have a place to go when

all of this ends right with trey right

so

taryn gets all excited when her uncle

responds to her message and she tells

trey like oh we got invited to go to

this wedding like this this not wedding

mating ceremony i apologize

this mating ceremony at my uncle's pack

and trey's like what the [ __ ] are you

talking about and she's like well yeah

like i like reached out because like i

need to have some place to go when all

this is done and trey's like what do you

mean you need to have some place to go

where all this is done like he's

starting to get like

imprinting

not imprinting just he's still he's very

possessive of his mate okay and but what

he's also trying to convince himself of

is like he's like well he's like it's my

wolf it's not my not the man like it's

not trey wanting these things

right these are like more like baser

level instincts

yes it's all like these like primal

instincts like what he's like trying to

blame all of this on right while also

like

starting to realize like oh no that

wasn't like

that wasn't me saying that on behalf of

like my possessive wolf nature that was

me saying that it's like trey the man

who wanted her around like so we're

starting to get more into that territory

right right so

then trey's like

super salty that she's like

reaching out to her uncle and trying to

establish this relationship but she's

also like

i need a place to go when all this is

done and trey's realizing like oh man

you know like now that i think about it

maybe she gave up a lot to be with me

like

he's like

i get an alliance out of the deal i beat

my uncle out of this deal

she didn't have to marry roscoe

right that's the end like there's really

no other

right and it has a temporary place to

stay not even like a permanent home yes

like it's been very clear like after

this battle with daryl like that's like

the extent of our relationship right now

exactly

so trey's like super salty about it but

goes with her to the mating ceremony at

her uncle's pack nick is the alpha

of this pack okay and is nick the uncle

no okay dawn is the uncle okay um don is

not the alpha got it nick

has a future book in this series i think

he is in book three which also arguably

is not one of my like i really love the

characters in that book but like it's

not one of my favorites in this series

so just unfortunately throwing that out

there but i really love nick

so this is our introduce

are introducing

we have not have enough booze for you to

be

introducing

what i thought i was saying this is our

introduction

to nick

but he's like kind of a side character

here so they go to the mating ceremony

and like everyone seeing them together

is like oh

we thought it'd all kind of been rumor

that like this like wasn't a real bond

like her true mate died like everyone's

kind of been calling [ __ ] this

entire time and they're sitting there

like no this is real believe us like

this is my mate

and then taran's like yeah i mean i

guess like

i guess after the battle's done i'll

just be like oops i was wrong about my

my true mate

she's like i might seem a little crazy

but like what other option do i have

because i really have no other place to

go right and so like

taryn's uncle dawn confronts trey at

this wedding and is like you aren't her

true mate

he died as a kid like you aren't good

enough for her like you're using like

just fully lays it out and trey gets

like

so pissed and then taryn gets really

pissed and like really defensive of trey

which also like people defending trey is

a new thing for him so like he's like

what i don't even know what to do

except probably offer you more oral

but not a [ __ ]

like i'm nice and darn it people like me

exactly

but

but not enough for oral i guess or maybe

maybe it is enough for oral i don't know

so like trey is like oh my gosh like no

one's ever defended me this way and he's

like really starting to reconceptualize

how he views taryn

cause like he's always really wanted her

around but is like not really allowing

himself to acknowledge that right we're

not leaning into it

so then trey's having this like

existential crisis when he's like

processing all of this and he

is sitting out at the dock in his beta

dante comes and is talking to him

and like dante

is like has been observing this whole

time and like thinks that like something

is real between them and it's like

trying to like push trey to acknowledge

it

and so like trey is just kind of like

yeah you know

it's good for now but like i'm not into

her long term like this isn't a

long-term thing

and so

because he'd still been brooding over

this like altercation

taryn had been coming to check on him

and like walks up and like hears him

telling his beta

that like

he's not into her and it's okay whenever

she leaves and so then

trey's like oh [ __ ] i like really really

screwed up but like k and like taran

came out and like pretended to be chill

with it and was just like

light-hearted and like kind of changed

the subject but like clearly

was withdrawing and was like well if you

aren't into this like i'm

i'm not gonna like put effort into being

your mate if

right this is really as temporary as

you're saying it is and so then like

trey feels

super guilty

as he should he should right because

he's a little bit of a douche oh yeah he

can be but it's because of his trauma

and he's emotionally stunted

we do like trey

okay we just

also need tree to have a therapist

and i don't know if there's a shift or

therapist but what a great job to have

so then in their apology

[ __ ] oh also worth noting

i should have noted this a very long

time ago okay so when trey had broken

skin

on taran and like claimed her and like

left the mating mark

taryn was like i don't want to

potentially increase the potential for

an imprinting so i'm not gonna mark trey

oh okay and so she's like i'm not gonna

do that i'm not gonna go there and then

like her wolf inside is like super

confused and she's like why aren't you

like claiming our mate and showing

people who he belongs to and taryn's

like

i'm not doing that i'm not putting us in

that situation

and so in this apology [ __ ] that they

end up having

as everything turns into not to be

confused with apology oral which is

different not yet an apology oral not an

apology blow job

just to be clear

so

in this apology

sex that they're having

like trains up like pushing her enough

and they end up like

progressing enough that she ultimately

marks him

and claims him and then

what like they like feel like a bond

click into place

and they're like oh [ __ ] we actually are

true mates oops we've been true mates

this entire time so like we were we

thought we were lying to everyone about

being true mates but i guess we didn't

lie about being true mates and we

actually are

true mates all along

so then

they're like well i guess i'm not going

anywhere because i'm part of the pack

now and

i belong here and i am the alpha female

if i am your mate

so

quite literally my notes say apology

[ __ ] marked trey true mates

lots of [ __ ]

that's really what happens for a while

after that okay is a lot of [ __ ] is

is

is done

a lot of biting a lot of marking

a lot of scenting

maybe not as much scenting some scenting

they're into each other's sense so not

no scenting

like they don't formally call it

scenting

but they're shifters

of the

wolf

wolf

varietal sure yeah yeah so i mean like

that happens right

okay so there's lots of [ __ ]

and then they're like they're going

about their lives figuring things out um

and

taryn and trey are down at the lake

hanging out and then like trey gets a

call

that's like oh hey you're needed at the

front gate

like the security guy needs you there

and so he takes off and then taren goes

back to the house and when she's walking

up the stairs someone grabs her ankles

no i don't like that yes like from like

between the

between the slats or whatever from

underneath that's how i imagined it no i

don't like that yeah so like someone

grabs her ankles and then she falls and

hits her head nope

and then they're trying to drag her out

but mind you because her link with trey

has progressed now and also it's it's

progressed they know their true mates

but their link hasn't fully clicked into

place yet it's like started as their

true mate link

but because the link hasn't fully

finalized itself yet like

they

their wolves tend to be more

possessive

more insecure more like wanting to make

sure that their mate is okay because

they don't feel completely confident in

their bond for now okay

yes

so

he

feels through the bond her distress and

like takes off running back to the house

and finds her like

unconscious on the ground

and she's like

i i think i fell but i think someone

told me he's like well like don't like

don't make claims that you like can't

take back and she's like no like for

real like someone

yanked me down on these stairs and then

tried to drag me like they like see like

the scrapes on her arms and they're like

okay so like

there is someone here

we don't know who something is

problematic

somebody killed your dear friend crow

and then

grabbed you

horror movie style through the stairs

and tried to drag you into the woods yes

so then fast forward

taryn goes into town with lydia who's

one of the girls in the pack to get some

birthday gifts for trey and they're at

the mall and they're shopping

and trey had really wanted to come

because he was like well if someone's

trying to hurt you like i don't want you

to be alone and she's like no i'll be

fine because she like doesn't want to

tell me she's going to buy him birthday

gifts so

she

and lydia are at the mall and they're

buying all of this lingerie in there

they're like it wasn't breakaway i

forget what it was it was some sort of

like baby edible breakaway

black sparkly lace something crotchless

crotchless was probably in there there

were so many adjectives to describe this

lingerie

and so as they're leaving the mall

lydia gets in the car

and then two goons walk up and they're

like we're here to to deliver a message

from daryl like uh oh you all need to

change your mind we are going to reunite

the packs because at this point we're

like

if it was it had been 12 weeks that they

had committed to this and we're now like

oh we're actually in this this is this

doesn't have a deadline

and we're now like 10 or 11 weeks in and

they're like you need to change your

mind and you need to reunite these packs

and this is us showing you lessons so

they go to attack taryn to teach her a

lesson

and taryn instead

beats the [ __ ] out of these two goons

nice like

it says like she grabs one by the balls

twists and yanks so hard that they

should have dislodged from his body good

for her right like headbutts one

but like that that leaves a little cut

when she does that so

lydia calls her mate

and who in turn tells

trey and so trey's losing his [ __ ] and

so like they start coming and like

trying to like get to her

but the goons are already gone at this

point because she has fully taken care

of them but

but she tells them she's like this was

your uncle trying to get you to

retaliate so that way you would lose

your [ __ ]

and then

the oh like

you would change your mind about how to

proceed with this

challenge right so don't react yes yeah

like don't react that is exactly what he

was trying to get out of you i handled

it but she's injured and by injured like

she's a slight cut from where she had

but the headbutted headbutted the dude

i was gonna say headbutt the dude and

then i was like i don't i don't think

grammatically that was my strongest

point i think of all the things that are

happening right now the grammatical

correctness of the tenses of headbutt

are probably the least of our concerns

that's fair but also taryn was like how

the [ __ ] did y'all know we were at the

mall because i would have smelled you a

long time ago if you guys have been

following us all the time and they're

like oh one of the goons is like our

informant in your pack told us where you

would be so she's like cool i don't know

who it is but we not have confirmation

um

so then

we move to trey's birthday sure in this

journey

um

trey doesn't like to celebrate his

birthday she forces him to have fun

forces him to go out they go to a fair

go on all of the rides but she told him

like if you go and like celebrate your

birthday with us for the day

i'll

be your personal sex toy for an hour

where you can do anything you want to me

for an hour and honestly here's the

thing hannah

we read a lot of smut there's a lot of

gratuitous sex scenes we do and this was

a sex scene that i was like oh [ __ ] we

still going

like

it

did not end

because there's a lot with like the

submission between the two of them so

like he ties her up

and so like we go through that whole

trope and then we move to anal and then

we go through that whole

trope and like it's just i'm like yep

this sex is constant but like in a way

that i'm like

i'm exhausted reading about it

not even engaging in it right like i'm

not into it yes calm yourself y'all

but they wake up the next morning

and she's like oh why do i smell a

little different

and it's uh oh

she pregnant

so so hold up she could smell it the

next day

yeah because physiologically she's

changed and they all have an increased

sense of smell because of their shifter

status obviously

like she walks in any room and like

everyone is like

you're pregnant like everyone can smell

it on her

including trey that's terrible

yes i would i wouldn't be a fan of that

no

i don't think being able to having

someone be like i smell your pregnancy

like if someone ever said i'm like we

have a lot bigger concerns here i mean i

feel like that's akin to like

like just asking a woman if she's

pregnant because she you feel like she

looks pregnant

like mind your [ __ ] business dude so

i adore my aunt with every fiber of my

being she's one of my favorite humans in

the world okay and one time she said to

a woman that dress looks so good on you

it really flatters your bump

and the woman was not pregnant

[Music]

i'm like oh damn that is not a great

look but that the [ __ ] is hilarious when

it's not you that it's happening to for

real yes for real um so then

trey's um not trey taryn's uncle has

been like hey i want to apologize i was

a real dick at that mating ceremony

so um her

taren's uncle don and nick and i think

someone else i honestly don't remember

they show up to the pack

to kind of like hash things out and like

have this conversation

um in this conversation trey and tara

and are sitting there and their sex life

comes up and i'm like i don't know why

and how

because

tr oh we haven't even talked about greta

greta is trey's grandmother

okay

she's sassy as [ __ ] i love this woman

and i love the banter between her and

taryn and the insults they throw i do

love a sassy grandma like being like

you're out of your depth in a puddle or

like i don't have time to deal with

people whose iq is on the right side of

the decimal point

[Laughter]

or

like

please stop talking [ __ ] you've talked

so much i can smell it on your breath

like

just like those sorts of you're like yes

i'm here for these insults so like just

like this banter back and forth right

and at one point like

trey's grandmother's like stop talking

about sex

and

taryn's like oh would you prefer another

name for it trey likes burying the

bishop but i prefer hiding pedro

so just like she just says this and a

group of people which i think is kind of

hilarious because her uncle is sitting

there while she's talking about playing

hiding pedro with her mate

i honestly prefer burying the bishop

i'm i i am a [ __ ] for alliteration

i do love alliteration like right

honestly when i'm at work whenever i

have to send a meeting like a calendar

invite to someone i always try and

figure out if i can fit a subtle

alliteration in there to make myself

happy

i can't always do it subtly but that's a

story for another time so

um

while they're there they get a call that

like a bunch of trays old pack um

daryl's pack has shown up and they've

been like oh we wanted to make sure

taran was okay we didn't endorse what

happened

they're like how does she heal so

quickly

like what do you mean how does she heal

so quickly and they're like well because

like they beat her up and then like a

good samaritan came and kicked their

asses and they're like no no no no no

taryn kicked their asses and they lied

about it to make themselves sound better

she kicked their ass

sis plural

right plural asses yes carry on and so

from there let's just speed up a smidge

we get to the final battle

um

between

daryl and trey okay

and so trey's been working on building

these alliances but hasn't disclosed how

many he's built because he knows he has

an informant so that way daryl will show

up thinking like he's gonna like have

so many people over what trey does right

he's gonna have the advantage yes and so

they're like oh man we only have like

the alliance from like taryn's uncle's

pack which is nick's pack and her dad's

pack which is lance's pack we only have

like two packs backing us

no they had like a ton of packs backing

them but they just didn't disclose that

to anyone

so

the battle starts everything everyone

starts fighting

like trey totally calls his uncle i'm

like you knew you couldn't win a

one-on-one battle against me so that's

why we did this whole rigamarole

and so then while all of this is going

on

um

all of the women and especially with

taryn being pregnant are all back at the

pack house right

and

they're like hey drink this it'll make

you calm down like just like drink some

warm milk and then she starts to feel

dizzy

and out of it

and one of the pack members

i'm also trying to like not give all of

the spoilers just give the spoilers well

i also feel like i didn't necessarily

give enough context for some of these

spoilers because it's someone in the

pack that we haven't necessarily

discussed already okay um

but someone in the pack is like oh no

i've been biding my time until i could

get revenge against trey for killing my

true mate and i've always hated him and

this isn't cool and i'm going he needs

to know the pain that i felt uh oh so

he's like he

this pack member drugs

taryn

and is like i need to get you delivered

to daryl trey's uncle she gets drugged a

whole lot

she's not doing well twice

i mean

i mean

let's think about in the grand scheme of

your life

two times is two times too many to be

drugged

that is valid i mean

so consent matters

are ongoing like

we're not sponsored by beta box but we

wish we were and consent matters are

probably the two things you will hear

the most from us

on this show very true until you hear we

are sponsored by votabox and consent

still matters

the only difference will be if we ever

get sponsored by budapox

so they're in this final battle

and

the pack member is delivering taryn to

the uncle right and then trey's standing

there and like like smells his mate and

is like what the [ __ ] she shouldn't be

down here and goes and like sees his

uncle with his claws against her stomach

and is like oh [ __ ]

that's my mate and my child and

like at at one point taryn had been like

i love you but trey's like i don't know

what love is i think this is like the

closest i'll ever have to being able to

want to know what love is but i honestly

don't think he does want to know what

love is

i think he was like this is all i have

to offer i'm so sorry i am broken

and so then like his uncle has her then

he's like i do love her and i'm like

yeah no [ __ ] man therapy why does it

take no

yes threat to life and limb for you to

get in touch with your emotions right

and like just go to therapy could have

been avoided

all of this could have been avoided

so

then taryn

sensing that this like danger to her and

her pup is cr is growing uh-huh her pup

sure carry-on yep

that's what they call them in the book

better than

wolf pup

no one needs to say that because i know

what type of pup it

ops

so

she

manages like

uncle is distracted by trey a little bit

she manages to like grab a part of him

and then her wolf is like going crazy

being like i need to protect my child

my pup

and so

taren shifts why

and everyone loses their goddamn [ __ ]

because this is the first time in the

history of the universe the latent wolf

has managed to like shift who's late now

[ __ ] exactly and so then like

ultimately they end up killing

the uncle nice

and

finding they now know who the informant

in the pack was and can address it

accordingly there's a lot we missed in

this book sure um

lots of detail yeah there there was a

lot of detail that was missed but i feel

like that's that's the most

concisely authentic version i can tell

um so i think that's where we will leave

feral sins okay and there is a second

book still about them

so the second book is about

the beta dante

oh okay the third book is about

nick

okay the pack

alpha of the other pack

and then

there's i think there's like seven

honestly i read the first four and then

i needed a break um not that they

weren't good i just like you can only

read about so much

shift or sex

before you need a break

um

and then the fourth book is about

nick's

sister

i believe and she ends up with one of

trey's enforcers

is it tao

no for some reason i really want tao to

be happy i hope he gets a book well he

probably does have one that i haven't

read but i will say

tao and taryn make amends because oh

yeah i didn't even we didn't even go

into that holy [ __ ]

so

like everyone kind of knows tao has some

feelings for taryn and she's just like

not fully aware of it and so like trey

definitely like

makes a few like claiming moves where

like

like

he's [ __ ] tearing down by the river

and can smell towel like like staking

his tears yes like cow had been out on a

run and like

like trey's like making eye contact with

tao as he's railing taran kind of energy

to be like

i need you to know she belongs to me not

you because she's my mate like she's my

true mate like that kind of energy i

hate that energy

and so then tau at some point

when [ __ ] is still not good like between

taryn and trey like pretty much tells

taryn when you leave the pack i would

leave with you

and

trey

loses his [ __ ] when he finds out but his

beta dante's like

you don't need to do anything to

retaliate him having to see you and

taryn is pain enough and like punishment

enough for him this is like

team liam all over again this is hurting

my heart

um but i will say

then in the future

once like taryn and trey's bond has

solidified

like her and tao have a conversation

where he feels really guilty like that

she got attacked and he's like i should

have been there and she's like no she's

like now that we're true mates i would

have said like i don't need a bodyguard

anyway it's like that's not on you and

he's like no he's like watching all

together now i really do get why the two

of you belong together he's like and i

like respect you as my alpha and i'm not

like trying to interfere on that and

like i wish all the best and then like

their relationship gets a lot healthier

well that's nice it really was but yeah

there's honestly there's just so many

side characters in this one that i was

like

there's a lot that that could be delved

into we gotta pare it down yes no why i

didn't even tell you who the informant

and the

like traitor was in this pack the entire

time

yeah yes we glossed over that so if you

want to know

i guess read

read the book i'm gonna get chelsea to

tell me after we stop recording well so

read feral sins it's great like honestly

i've read it twice

and i like i really really like this

book i think like reading about it or

like not reading about it describing it

here

doesn't sound as like necessarily fun as

like it's a really

yes like it's a truly enjoyable book

there's a lot of nuance and a lot of

stuff that like we just couldn't get

into for the sake of time

but it's a really fun journey so i like

would really actually recommend reading

this one so how many wolf pups would you

give this

out of how many i don't know you tell me

i'd give it like 10 out of 12.

okay

okay that's pretty high yes like

legitimately i've read it twice i

imagine there will be additional rereads

in the future okay okay

yes it's a it's a fun one i we didn't

really like go into all of i know this

was smut club but we like we didn't

necessarily go into like all of the

sexual ass there's a lot more sex than

what was described here sure if that's

important to you

um

we were looking at plot

not yes

well and i think like a lot of this plot

was also

bent and like around

like the

the possessive nature of shifters and

like navigating those dynamics so a lot

of those dynamics aren't necessarily

like

a sexual encounter

but they do tie into it when you're

reading it okay

yeah i would say like actually like a

solid like 10 out of 12

woof pups

nailed it wolf

pups 10 out of 12 wolf

pups

mailed it so

on that note

thanks and

you all have a good one thank you for

joining us for that

and for putting up

with me not being able to pronounce

certain words we are glad you're here

like wolf

pronounce damn girl be chill

beginning

they're from tampa they live in

tampa florida

so something to know

um

hannah and i

are both from florida um we both

got out of florida hell yeah and

we both hold this like weird tension

where like we can talk [ __ ] about

florida but we feel very like defensive

and protective of it

and another right like there are so many

stories and i'm like oh

someone threw another alligator through

a fast food window drive-through that's

florida for you but then on the other

hand if like if my husband were to be

like i saw this story about florida i'd

be like [ __ ] you you are not from

florida mind your business you are not

allowed to say that

well that's it for this week's mud [ __ ]
