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
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
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
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
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
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

with me not being able to pronounce
certain words we are glad you're here

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
