  Ms suns Hi. Welcome to book watchers. I'm your sexic host Devin and
• 0:52
  today, of course we have the one, the only what Yeah and yeah
• 0:59
  it's today. I'm here to your host with the most maybe not all the
• 1:03
  time, that's good. My name is Jacob, and I roast the funk
• 1:07
  out of Devin for his dislection. Yeah, yeah, you did. I
• 1:11
  remember that group chat. I was so upset. I was like this,
• 1:14
  mother, dare they because y'all are on the borderline of furry doom and y'all
• 1:21
  going to roast I think. See that's the thing about that's the thing about
• 1:26
  those who walk the lint, the fine line between furry and other kinks is
• 1:30
  that, uh, you come for us and we're gonna roast you, and
• 1:36
  we did. Everyone's honestly, if you're not on the fine line, are
• 1:41
  you really living their life as as as a gay maybe? Who knows anyway,
• 1:53
  So yeah, moving from here to air out. Yeah, but we
• 1:57
  didn't come. We're not here today to air out the dirty laundry. I
• 2:01
  mean, if this, this book series that we're doing is not a prime
• 2:05
  example of somebody you know, Hey, I like were wolves, romance novels.
• 2:15
  Okay, this is in the first romance series i've ready and in fact,
• 2:23
  like I've taken to actually reading outside of the typical genre that I read,
• 2:29
  which is usually either high fantasy or science fiction. Mm hmmm, so
• 2:36
  we're still in like the nonfiction arm Sorry, we're still in the fiction excuse
• 2:39
  me. Yeah, Like we're still in the fiction genre, but now it's
• 2:42
  more romance, which good romance is good every so often. True. But
• 2:49
  when I think about it, the Green Creek books aren't so much romance but
• 2:53
  more of the love story really because it's not just focused on the Okaye it
• 2:58
  is. There's like the couple. It goes from the couple getting together in
• 3:05
  the but there's a lot more dynamic. It's not on it's not all one
• 3:13
  focus on that like there they have their own prials and tribulations and all that.
• 3:19
  Ship. Yeah, and it does tend to like, uh, each
• 3:24
  book tends to take on, like take over a good period of time.
• 3:34
  So like, uh, the book we're gonna be covering today is book two
• 3:40
  of the Green Creek series. But before we do, in a description below,
• 3:49
  of course, we'll take you to the links to the YouTube channel one
• 3:52
  follow us on YouTube or if you listen to On on any other podcasting site.
• 3:58
  Please rate and followize are great, follow, subscribe, whatever it may
• 4:02
  be. Read the word, we need it. We have fun here continue
• 4:11
  Now we can talk talk about the second book of this series. Yeah,
• 4:17
  yeah, so yeah, so, thank you for throwing me off, Devin
• 4:23
  and causing me to lose my train of thought. Oh you're welcome, sou
• 4:30
  So. As we covered in the first book, Wolf's Song was centered around
• 4:40
  the young couple of Joe Bennett and ox nerd Matheson. Yeah, we're still
• 4:46
  going to be seeing these characters. In fact, well they're still a big
• 4:49
  part of the story and the next and not only in this book, for
• 4:53
  the next two books after this, because the story is still centered around the
• 5:00
  Bennett pat uh. But this time Ravens Song is focused on the relationship and
• 5:08
  life story of the which Gordo Livingstone are a Livingstone? Sorry? And Mark
• 5:16
  Bennett. Mark Bennett is uh, he was. He is the brother of
• 5:23
  Thomas Bennett. Thomas Bennett Joe Bennett's uncle. And uh, I'm sorry,
• 5:35
  let me rewind. I threw myself, I threw myself off here rewindd Okay.
• 5:40
  So Mark Bennett is the younger brother of Joe Bennett's father, Thomas Bennett.
• 5:46
  He was the original. He was the alpha's second before Thomas died in
• 5:53
  the previous book. Now he's just a regular beta. His his nephew Joe
• 5:58
  has taken over leading ship of the Bennett Packed alongside uh Ox. So,
• 6:04
  as just I mentioned in the last book, Ox had become a ah,
• 6:11
  he had become a human alpha, so instead of of so. Typically,
• 6:17
  werewolf can only becomes an alpha if they kill another alpha or if that power
• 6:23
  is transferred to them, but Ox was very special. He developed. He
• 6:28
  became an alpha when Joe and his brothers left to chase down Richard Collins,
• 6:35
  and he kept the what remained of their pack together and he even made it
• 6:41
  bigger by taking in more people. And at the at the end of the
• 6:46
  of the first book, Ox was more was gravely injured by Richard Collins,
• 6:51
  and Joe, in desperation, bit him and turned him into a werewolf.
• 6:57
  Now, when he became a werewolf, Ox is still an alpha, but
• 7:00
  now he is an alpha werewolf and the same goes with Joe. So now
• 7:04
  the Bennett Packed has become even more I keep saying pat as in like I
• 7:12
  should, I'm trying to pack instead of pack. I keep saying Pat,
• 7:16
  so replaces tea with a K. Yeah, I know, I know English,
• 7:24
  Am I right? Huh? And so Ox and Joe now lead the
• 7:30
  Bennett Benet pack together, uh, and which makes them their whole family so
• 7:35
  much more abnormal to the rest of the were wolf community because there's usually only
• 7:42
  one alpha per pack, and now that the Bennett pack has two alphas,
• 7:49
  it's just very strange and unusual, and it's causing them to experience a lot
• 7:55
  of scrutiny. So now we have to Now we have to deal with things
• 8:07
  like betrayal, scrutiny and the very complicated, the very complicated relationship between Mark
• 8:16
  and Gordo. So, without further ado, let's go ahead and talk more
• 8:22
  about the story. So the story is, it is written from the perspective
• 8:28
  of Gordo Livingstone. Like I said, he's a witch, and he at
• 8:33
  one point used to be the witch for the Bennett Pack. However about fifteen
• 8:41
  years ago, or like however when he was just a young kid. So
• 8:48
  I'm gonna rewind because I know this. I'm gonna go ahead and take a
• 8:52
  step back because I am getting ahead of myself and jumbling up. I need
• 8:56
  to do better. Notes. So, when Gordo was just about twelve years
• 9:05
  old, him and his family, his dad and his mom, used to
• 9:09
  be a part of the Bennett Pack, who at the time was under the
• 9:13
  leadership of Joe's grandfather, Abel Bennett. There was a lot of there was
• 9:22
  a lot of problems that happened back in the day, and it really all
• 9:26
  began with Gordo's father, the former witch of the Bennett Pack, Robert Livingstone
• 9:39
  now Robert his personality before shit happens can be described as he was definitely very
• 9:50
  He had a very high opinion of himself, while the wolves saw him and
• 9:56
  his family as part of them, and they and the wolves believe that the
• 10:03
  Bennett which the the living Stone Witches, needed the Bennett Packed as much as
• 10:09
  the Bennett Pack needed the living Stone Witches. Uh. His father believed otherwise,
• 10:20
  that the witches that witches don't need wolves, the wolves just the wolves
• 10:22
  are the ones that need them. And he he always even back then,
• 10:30
  he was constantly trying to teach Gordo not to like fall for there for any
• 10:37
  illusions of the War of the were Wolves. And we also see this strange
• 10:46
  dynamic between uh his mother and his father. His mother was a human and
• 10:54
  it was heavily implied that Robert was manipulating her. Now it wasn't, It
• 11:03
  wasn't very clear towards the beginning. Towards the beginning, but later on,
• 11:09
  as he recalls his early life, he begins to recognize the signs that his
• 11:15
  mother was being manipulated somehow, that his dad was using his magic to manipulate
• 11:20
  and screw around with his mom's memory. And it didn't help that, despite
• 11:28
  the fact that he's married, Robert ended up having an affair with another human
• 11:37
  woman, and this caused a lot more problems because as I mentioned in the
• 11:43
  previous with the previous book, which isn't where wolves need something to help anchor
• 11:48
  them and help them to remember who they are as humans, to keep a
• 11:56
  hold of their humanity. Now, with werewolves, it's their pack. Their
• 12:00
  pack is what holds them together and what's and what helps them remember their humanity.
• 12:05
  But for witches it's a little bit more complicated. Now. Of course,
• 12:09
  their tether, their emotional tether, can be a can also be a
• 12:15
  can also be a pack if if of the witch is a part of a
• 12:16
  pack, but it can also be just another regular person. For Gordo,
• 12:22
  he formed a tether with Ox in the first book It's good, excuse me,
• 12:31
  and that tether is still there even throughout throughout the Road the remainder of
• 12:37
  the books. For Gordo's father, Robert had formed a tether with his mistress
• 12:46
  and yep. So the thing is, though he wasn't honest about it,
• 12:50
  he kept he kept his secrets. He lied to Gordo's mother. And the
• 12:56
  thing is, Gordo's mom began to become very paranoid and very There were some
• 13:01
  there were like there was clear signs that she was beginning to suffer from mental
• 13:09
  disabilities like PTSD and other I would say, like, uh, I don't
• 13:18
  want to say like paranoia induced schizophrenia, but like I'm not a mental expert,
• 13:22
  but if you're, if you're an if you are a psychologist or someone
• 13:26
  who's an expert in mental disorders, if you read the if you read this
• 13:30
  book and you look at how he remembers his mom and how how Gordu's mom
• 13:35
  would behave, you would probably be able to like clearly see that, like
• 13:39
  she's clearly being manipulated and she on some level knows this and it's starting to
• 13:45
  it's causing severe forms of like paranoia, so much to the point that she
• 13:50
  begins to uh try to teach her son that not that he shouldn't trust magic
• 13:56
  or wearls at all and don't let and don't let them manipulate him in any
• 14:01
  way. It escalated to the point where she tried to kidnap is a strong
• 14:09
  word, but that's pretty much the only word I can use at this point.
• 14:11
  Because she tricks Gordo into leaving with her. It was not so much
• 14:20
  as tricks. She just tells him, hey, grdo come with me.
• 14:22
  We need to go somewhere real quick, and then she tries to flee the
• 14:26
  town with him, but she ends up getting caught. Just before they leave
• 14:33
  the town. The Bennett pack and his dad and Gordo's father all suspected something
• 14:43
  was off, and they stopped her, and it was a very convoluted mess.
• 14:48
  The wolves were clearly the wolves weren't at fault here per se, because
• 14:52
  they were just trying to protect Gordo. They see him as part of their
• 14:56
  family and they can clearly tell that his mom is not well, but Robert
• 15:01
  is clearly manipulating her because not long After this, when uh they go back
• 15:07
  their lives return they go back to their lives, Gordo notices that his mom
• 15:11
  is acting differently, and it's almost as if she can't really remember what's been
• 15:16
  going on. But eventually, around the time Gordo is about twelve years old,
• 15:26
  his mom finds out about Robert's affair and because of everything that has been
• 15:41
  done to her and her paranoia, all all of it, she just snapped
• 15:46
  and she ends up murdering the mistress who yep, And because of this,
• 15:56
  Robert, having lost his emotional heather, he himself snaps. Because emotional te
• 16:07
  tether is what anchors, what is what will anchor a witch to their humanity.
• 16:12
  It helps them to remember who they are. And when that's taken away
• 16:18
  from you, it's like losing a part, It's like losing a limb.
• 16:22
  They're that deeply connected. And you can imagine how this affected Robert, because
• 16:30
  Robert snaps and in a fit of rage, he not only murders Gordo's mother,
• 16:37
  but his magic. With his magic, he also levels an entire city
• 16:44
  block, killing over a dozen people. Jesus Christ. Yeah, And while
• 16:49
  of course the media and like local authorities ruled it just rolled it as a
• 16:55
  gasmin explosion. The Bennet Pack knew was something else entirely, so with the
• 17:03
  help of witches from all around, they end up arresting Robert and the other
• 17:11
  witches strip him of his magic and they lock him away in a prison where
• 17:15
  you can where we can't hurt anybody else ever again. Now the problem is
• 17:19
  the here's where I think this is. This is where I think the the
• 17:25
  Bennett Pack, the Bennett Pack is the kind of the assholes about this is.
• 17:32
  They kept Gordo in the dark about it. At first, they didn't
• 17:36
  tell him right away, but then Abel Joe's grandfather goes approaches Gordo and tells
• 17:45
  him what happens and tells him that from now on he will be taking on
• 17:49
  the role of the pack witch. And of course he will be living with
• 17:57
  the Bennetts and their home and he's still a part of their family and they
• 18:03
  do take really good care of him. But it's kind of fucked up because
• 18:07
  he's now he's a twelve year old boy best the shoulder the burden of being
• 18:15
  responsible for an entire pack, and then while he doesn't lead them, he
• 18:18
  like being a witch for a pack it has a lot of responsibilities, and
• 18:23
  that's a lot of responsibility to put on a twelve year old shoulder. So
• 18:30
  we can start seeing where Gordo's resentment begins to form because they take him in,
• 18:38
  they give him so much responsibility, and all he wants to do is
• 18:41
  he wants to prove that he can do it, that he's useful, that
• 18:47
  he is, that he actually has value to the pack, and of course
• 18:51
  they don't doubt it. No one ever questions that. Gordo also begins to
• 18:56
  form a relationship with Abele's son, Mark, Mark recognizes early on that Gordo
• 19:08
  is his mate, and the thing is he's about So the thing about Gordo
• 19:17
  and Mark is that, yeah, they're not the same age. Mark is
• 19:21
  actually about two years older than Gordo, which is honestly way better than the
• 19:26
  age gap between Joe and Mark. But by the time they're fifteen, By
• 19:33
  the time Gordo is fifteen and Mark is about seventeen, Gordo starts to realize
• 19:41
  that they have they have something between them, and they begin to explore the
• 19:48
  relationship, more or less tentatively, because Gordo himself he doesn't really know if
• 19:55
  that's what he wants, but Mark tries to be patient, and of course
• 20:03
  he makes a he makes a promise to Gordo and he gives Gordo his stone
• 20:07
  Wolf. Now, if you remember from the last from the previous episode with
• 20:11
  Wolf's Song, when a where wolf is born, there Alpha will have a
• 20:18
  stone wolf carved, carved for that newborn werewolf. And this little wolf totem
• 20:27
  is is very special because it is meant to be given as a gift to
• 20:33
  your future mate. And Joe gave Ox his little stone wolf when he was
• 20:40
  just ten years old, and Mark gave Gordo his wolf. So it's like
• 20:47
  a it's like a it's almost like a like it's a kind of like a
• 20:49
  proposal, but not a proposal, just more of like a a promise,
• 20:56
  like an oath, like you're the one, like you're the like you're the
• 20:59
  one, and promise yeah exactly. And of course, like Gordo accepts it,
• 21:06
  and the and we start to see like the early like we see like
• 21:15
  the relationship as it was from an early age h Gordo. While Gordo does
• 21:22
  love he at one point did love the Bennett Pack. He still wanted some
• 21:26
  sense of normalcy and he sought that not only in his human friends, who
• 21:30
  are characters that we do see that who are regular characters throughout the entire series.
• 21:34
  These three goofballs named Chris, Tanner, and Rico, and those guys,
• 21:41
  along with Gordo, have been friends their most of their lives. And
• 21:47
  we also see Gordo began his career as a mechanic as well, so aside
• 21:53
  from being the pack, which he also seeks like a normal job. And
• 21:56
  he gets a job at this at this shop which would later become his own
• 22:04
  shop because the previous owner actually leaves it to him later. But we'll get
• 22:10
  to that, you know. Even though things were quiet for a few years,
• 22:18
  tragedy does strike the Bennett Pack again when a group of hunters attack their
• 22:27
  home. Now, back in the day, the Bennett Pack was a lot
• 22:33
  larger. It wasn't just this one family of werewolves. It was several different
• 22:37
  families of werewolves, you know, brothers, cousins, nephews, aunts,
• 22:44
  and uncles. It was a lot bigger. And the thing is is that
• 22:48
  just like there are families of witches, and like large and powerful families of
• 22:55
  witches and werewolves, there are large and powerful families of hunters. As well,
• 23:00
  who make it their life mission to hunt down any form of supernatural creatures
• 23:06
  werewolf which what have you? And this one particular family, because this one
• 23:14
  particular family of hunters, they are known as the King Family. They have
• 23:22
  they have clashed with the Bennett pack for generations and they end up launching launching
• 23:29
  a surprise attack against the Bennett family during a full moon, and when it
• 23:34
  happens, they sent one of their own, the daughter of the Patriarcho Girl
• 23:42
  named Meredith King. She ends up luring Gordo away from the pack because even
• 23:52
  though he's only fifteen years old, he's still a witch and he's still very
• 23:56
  powerful. So she ends up luring him away from the pack and she ends
• 24:03
  up injecting him with a sedative, knocking his ass out. While he was
• 24:07
  out, the King the Hunter Clan attacks the pack and kills a huge portion
• 24:14
  of them, so uh, most of the families of most of the werewolf
• 24:22
  individual world families were killed off. The previous able Bennett, the former Alpha,
• 24:32
  was killed and when he was killed, his title of Alpha gets passed
• 24:36
  on to his oldest son, Thomas Bennett, who is Joe's father, Ah
• 24:44
  Thomas, even though he's still very young. He has already had his first
• 24:48
  son, Carter Bennett, and was on his way to having his his second
• 24:53
  son, Kelly. But this is still well before Joe Bennett is born.
• 25:00
  Really, it's just all that was left of the Bennett Pack after this attack
• 25:06
  was Thomas himself, his mate Elizabeth, his son Carter, and his uncle
• 25:12
  and his brother I'm sorry, not uncle, his brother Mark. That was
• 25:17
  all that was left with the Bennett pack after the attack, and of course
• 25:22
  Gordo after After the attack, the Ben Pack did manage to slaughter and kill
• 25:30
  most of the King of the King hunters. Uh. Really, the only
• 25:34
  survivor of the on the Hunter side was Meredith herself. Now remember that name.
• 25:41
  Who she's gonna be. She's gonna be a problem. She's not dead.
• 25:48
  But after the attack, uh where old? Uh? Where? Olves
• 25:56
  from other packs began to put pressure on Thomas and what's left of his family.
• 26:02
  Because the Bennett Pack is known for being are known as royalty among werewolves
• 26:11
  in America because their alpha is also the alpha of alphas, so they are
• 26:18
  in charge of every pack of pack. So Abel Bennett was the former Alpha
• 26:26
  of Alphas. He was in charge of all the packs, all over the
• 26:30
  US like a king, and when he died, that title got passed down
• 26:34
  to Thomas. And the thing is is that despite the fact that Green Creek
• 26:41
  is the Bennett family's ancestral home that's been their territory for hundreds of years,
• 26:48
  there is another territory on the other side of the country in Coswell, Maine.
• 26:59
  That one that territory is considered like. It's basically like the district district
• 27:06
  of Columbia of the werewolf community, so that's like their capital. And while
• 27:14
  the Bennett family usually spends their time going back and forth between Caswell and green
• 27:18
  Creek, the other wolves across the nation put pressure on Thomas to completely relocate
• 27:25
  back to Caswell because Caswell is more heavily defended, it's more secure, and
• 27:30
  there's little to no humans there, so there's less chance of there being another
• 27:36
  hunter attack if they were there, and Thomas he's reluctant to leave his family
• 27:42
  home, but he does end up giving into the pressure and decides to move
• 27:48
  his entire pack back across the states to Maine. There is one there was
• 27:53
  one problem that he couldn't overcome, and that was the mistrue us that the
• 28:00
  other were wolves had in his in his witch Gordo Livingstone m h. Now,
• 28:07
  so the reason why the other packs didn't trust Gordo was, first of
• 28:14
  all, he's still technically human. Witches are still technically human, and after
• 28:19
  this attack by the Hunters, mistrust and bigotry were very was very high,
• 28:29
  so they didn't want to trust a human in Coswell, even though they do
• 28:33
  have witches there. But really what really put the final nail in the coffin
• 28:41
  was the fact that Gordo is still is the son of a dart of Robert
• 28:48
  Livingstone, and because Robert lost his mind and went dark, the other wolves
• 28:57
  were concerned that maybe Robert had more of a hold on Gordo than they realized.
• 29:08
  And the reason why they believed that is not only because since Gordo is
• 29:12
  his father's son. It also comes down to the fact that Gordo's magic is
• 29:17
  tied to his father because when he was just a little kid we're talking about
• 29:23
  We're talking like from the time he was six to the time he was about
• 29:26
  ten or twelve, his dad had been tattooing these magical sigils and other tattoos
• 29:36
  onto Gordo's body. These tattoos act as a form of arcane focus for Gordo
• 29:41
  to help him to not only increase his magical potential, but also to help
• 29:45
  him focus his power. And the other werewolves believed that that Robert still had
• 29:55
  some form of hold over his son through those tat twos, so they didn't
• 30:02
  want to risk bringing Gordo to their capital if say, his dad somehow breaks
• 30:08
  free and uses his own and uses Gordo as like some form of weapon.
• 30:14
  So Thomas made as like this was probably his biggest mistake, and it was
• 30:22
  probably his first mistake he made as an Alpha. He made the decision to
• 30:27
  leave Gordo behind in Green Creek. And you have to remember Gordo was only
• 30:34
  fifteen years old when this happened. He has no one else, no other
• 30:41
  living relatives. His mother and father are dead, and the only people that
• 30:45
  he knows as his family are the Bennett Pack. So imagine, what do
• 30:52
  you think is going how do you think a fifteen year old who a fifteen
• 30:56
  year old orphan is going to feel when the only family he knows practically abandons
• 31:03
  him. Very upset, I mean kind of like he's just alone in this
• 31:08
  world exactly now, of course, so Thomas tries to appeal like tries to
• 31:15
  appease Gordo by telling him he's gonna be left in good hands. He talked
• 31:22
  to one of the locals of the of Green Creek to take him in,
• 31:26
  and he assures him that Geordo will always be a part of the Bennett pack.
• 31:30
  But because of how uh, because of how unstable things are right now,
• 31:37
  it's better and safer for Grdo to stay behind in Green Creek. And
• 31:41
  I can see the logic behind that, you know, from a from an
• 31:48
  objective standpoint, I can see the logic behind that, and I can see
• 31:51
  that Thomas was just trying to protect Gordo. Yeah, at the same time,
• 31:56
  he should have He shouldn't have made that decision. He should have either
• 32:00
  put his foot down and taken Grido with him and face whatever the future has
• 32:05
  to offer, or he should have found some other solution because for starters,
• 32:13
  his own brother Mark was completely opposed to this. Gordo is his this is
• 32:19
  his future, is his mate. But the problem, the problem is is
• 32:22
  that since Mark is a beta, he can't really disobey the decision of his
• 32:28
  alpha, which also which also earns him the Oh god, what is it?
• 32:37
  What's the word? It's a starts with a word. What are you
• 32:44
  trying to right? No, no, no, I'm sorry. There's a
• 32:49
  word I'm looking for and it's something tip of my tongue. Well basically,
• 32:54
  So, the thing is is that when the Bennett pack decides to leave,
• 33:00
  Mark decides he decides to go with his family because since he is his brother's
• 33:09
  second in command, he can't really just leave. He can't really just stay
• 33:14
  behind, even though he really wants to because he loves Gordo, he wants
• 33:17
  to be with him, but he can't leave. He can't he can't leave
• 33:22
  his pack. And the thing is, even though like sure, if he
• 33:29
  and Gordo had become bound to each other a lot sooner, if he stayed
• 33:36
  behind and bound himself to Gordo, he would be able to retain his humanity
• 33:40
  for the most part. But the thing is when a a wolf is when
• 33:46
  a werewolf is separated from their pack, they run. They run the risk
• 33:50
  of becoming omegas and omegas or feral. They've pretty much forgotten what it means
• 33:55
  to be a human and ambitious. So that was the biggest risk Mark faced
• 34:02
  if he stayed behind with Gordo, and I can like I said, I
• 34:07
  can also see his point, like, if he stayed behind, sure he's
• 34:10
  gonna be with Gordo, and maybe that would be enough to help him,
• 34:15
  like keep his humanity and not lose his mind to his wolf. But at
• 34:20
  the same time, there's the risk that what if he what if he just
• 34:22
  one day snaps and he could end up hurting the one person he cares about
• 34:28
  most in the world. But of course, teenage Corrido didn't see it that
• 34:32
  way. He just saw it as his family abandoning him. So after the
• 34:37
  Bennett pack leaves, they they they don't. They very irregularly stay in contact
• 34:46
  with him, coming back here and like Mark would come back here and there,
• 34:50
  maybe like every six months or so to check up on Gordo to make
• 34:53
  sure he's okay and make sure that Green Creek and their territory is you know,
• 34:59
  safe and sound. But over time, Gordo his resentment for the Bennetts
• 35:06
  grows to the point where he completely cuts ties with them. And because since
• 35:14
  now that Gordo is getting older and his caretaker passes away, he's now completely
• 35:21
  on his own. And although the person who took Gordo in left him his
• 35:27
  old house as well as the shop that Gordo that he owned. So that's
• 35:35
  how Gordo comes into ownership of the of the auto body shop and which would
• 35:42
  later which becomes like a big part of the story later on because Gordo's shop
• 35:46
  is like a place where the wolves a lot of the pack ends up working
• 35:52
  working in and this is how he comes to become this is how he becomes
• 35:55
  the owner of it. But not long after this, since he's on his
• 36:01
  own, he's also exploring different relationships outside of Mark. And it's after one
• 36:08
  one such uh one night stands h for lack of for it's pretty much what
• 36:16
  it was. Gordo basically tries to lose himself in like pointless relationships and one
• 36:22
  night stands. It's after one such nightly outing that Mark comes back to town
• 36:30
  and he comes to Gordo's house and sees and finds Gordo like, you know,
• 36:37
  basically like morning walk of shame, you know what I mean, next
• 36:43
  morning walk of shame and being a werewolf, he can smell everything that Gordo
• 36:46
  had just did. So for poor Mark, he's like he feels betrayed by
• 36:52
  this, and he also low key wants to murder the ship out of the
• 36:57
  person Gordo just slept with, but To shuts that ship down and tells him
• 37:04
  that, hey, you're gone. You guys left me here all right,
• 37:09
  and honestly, I don't care. I don't care whether or not you guys
• 37:13
  ever come back. Who you guys clearly don't care enough about me to didn't
• 37:20
  care enough about me to take you with me, to take me with you,
• 37:22
  and he left me all alone here. So I'm gonna live my life
• 37:27
  and if you want you can come. You can just come back. You
• 37:30
  can come here, because if you want a future with me, then stay
• 37:34
  here with me, be with me. We're supposed to be mates, right
• 37:39
  then, why not just stay with me? But like I said before,
• 37:44
  Mark faces the difficult the he's pretty much stuck with between a rock and a
• 37:50
  hard place because he's caught between what his heart wants and what his and what
• 37:55
  he has to no choice but to do. You know, it comes down
• 38:00
  to his family, his alpha and then his and his true love, right
• 38:09
  and unfortunately he still ends up choosing his pack and he tries to explain to
• 38:21
  to Gordo that he can't just leave them behind. He can't just leave you
• 38:24
  know, there is aside from abandoning his own family, there still runs the
• 38:29
  risk of him becoming an omega if he just if he leaves his pack,
• 38:34
  and well, Gordo doesn't like his answer, and in his anger, Gordo
• 38:46
  gives Mark his wolf back, the Little Stone Wolf, which is basically like
• 38:57
  giving the ring back Oo. And of course Mark is heartbroken by this and
• 39:07
  tries to plead with Gordo please, like, we don't end it like this,
• 39:12
  but Gordo's like, nope, fuck you guys, I want nothing to
• 39:15
  do with you anymore. And that's pretty much the last time Gordo has any
• 39:21
  kind of contact with the Bennett Pack. He sees them from time to time
• 39:25
  when they return to when he'll see Mark from time to time when he stops
• 39:30
  by Green Creek to check up on things, but he's made it very clear
• 39:36
  he doesn't want anything to do with them. And at this point we fast
• 39:40
  if we of course fast forward to the events of of Wolf's Song, And
• 39:49
  while Wolf's Song was from the perspective of Box, we didn't exactly we didn't
• 39:52
  get to see any like what exactly happened during the three year gap where Gordo
• 39:59
  was traveling with Joe and his brothers after the death of their father Thomas,
• 40:04
  but we do see some things how Gordo begins to rebuild his relationships with his
• 40:12
  with the Bennett Pack, and he slowly begin he's slowly starting to forgive the
• 40:17
  pack the pack itself as a whole, and by the time he returns to
• 40:23
  Green Creek with Joe and his brothers, he's now a fully fledged member of
• 40:30
  their pack. Yeah once again, so he's taken out. He retakes his
• 40:35
  role as the Bennett Pack, which but he still has a lot of anger
• 40:43
  towards Mark, and throughout the book we start we see how they butt heads.
• 40:51
  Mark still wants to he still wants to mend things with Gordo, but
• 40:57
  at the same time, you know, Gordo has given him middle finger plenty
• 41:00
  of times and told him to fuck off. So Mark himself tries to move
• 41:06
  on and even seeks out a relationship with another man. But the thing about
• 41:13
  werewolves is that once they find their mate, they don't change their mind easily.
• 41:17
  So you know, there's a few close encounters where Mark tries to make
• 41:22
  a move on Gordo, but during one such move, Gardo ends up throwing
• 41:30
  Mark against the side of a building using his magic. It's like, if
• 41:38
  that's not a clear way of saying funk off, I don't know what is.
• 41:43
  But yeah, but things begin to we start seeing grdo He's slowly like
• 41:55
  this is like because he's lived most of his adult life being pissed at pretty
• 42:00
  much everything life. The Bennett Pack, you know, his he's his default
• 42:07
  setting is is grumpy. So he's a very spicy individual. I guess you
• 42:15
  could put it that if we were to put it a certain way. Yeah,
• 42:19
  And but we slowly begin to see that that gruff exterior begin to melt
• 42:25
  and fall away because he's starting to realize that he does feel something more for
• 42:31
  work. And but he's just so stubborn and still angry that he doesn't see
• 42:43
  he doesn't quite get it. Now the Bennett Pack in this book begins to
• 42:49
  face an entirely new issue. Even though Richard Collins has been killed, they
• 42:57
  still have to They still face the threat of Gordo's father, Robert, who
• 43:04
  had already escaped his imprisonment in the last book. Now we saw what happened
• 43:10
  during the confrontation with Richard Collins and how he was killed by Joe, but
• 43:16
  we didn't But nothing ever came out of Gordo's father, so they know he's
• 43:22
  still out there. They just don't know what he's up to or if he's
• 43:24
  going to attack Green Creek and the Bennetts again, because Robert Livingstone has a
• 43:32
  vendetta against the against the Bennett Pack, and we begin to see the culmination
• 43:44
  of Livingstone's plans against the Bennett Pack because they begin to the pack begins to
• 43:52
  encounter more and more Omega werewolves like for some reason. So for some reason,
• 43:58
  the Omegas they flocked to Richard in the last book because they saw they
• 44:04
  believed that he would become their new alpha and help them regain their humanity and
• 44:10
  by extension, become more powerful. But that all failed when he was killed
• 44:15
  and now Ox, for whatever reason, they are drawn to him. And
• 44:22
  while Ox in the Pack have been trying to help these Omegas, the interim
• 44:28
  Alpha of Caswell a real bitch of a woman named Michelle Hughes. I'm sorry,
• 44:36
  I'm not gonna spoil it for you guys, but I'm not gonna spoil
• 44:38
  it for you guys just yet. But ooh fuck that bitch, Oh fuck
• 44:45
  that bitch. All right, she was given the role of alpha of all
• 44:52
  as a temporary role, as like she's just a placeholder until Joe Man's up
• 44:58
  and takes it for himself. Uh but right now he is not ready for
• 45:04
  that. He's just trying to focus on on his pack and trying to bring
• 45:12
  his family back together and heal. But during one of the of his packs
• 45:17
  encounter with an omega wolf, his older brother Carter gets bitten by this wolf.
• 45:27
  And I'm sorry, not his older brother, his uncle Mark gets bitten
• 45:34
  by this wolf. And whenever they had to deal with any Omegas that trespass
• 45:42
  on to their territory, they of course meet the werewolf in their wolf forms.
• 45:45
  So while they're in their wolf form, the omega ends up biting Mark
• 45:52
  and then he and then his older brother Carter, who whenever he's is whenever
• 45:59
  he's in his wolf form, he instinctively goes to his pack mates whenever they're
• 46:05
  hurt and licks their wounds like a actually, like an actual wolf would.
• 46:08
  That's typical behavior of wolves. But see, that's that's where they fucked up.
• 46:17
  Because Ox and Joe have been trying to work with Michelle Hughes in helping
• 46:25
  the Omegas that have been flocking to Green Creek, but they learned that she
• 46:30
  hasn't been helping them at all, but she's actually been putting. She's actually
• 46:34
  been killing the omegas that they sent to her for help. Oh shit.
• 46:39
  Yeah, because even though a werewolf becomes an omega, there's a chance that
• 46:43
  they can still return to they can still become a beta wolf again if they
• 46:49
  are placed with another pack, if they're accepted into another pack and they have
• 46:53
  an alpha to look after them. Yeah, but Michelle Hughes, for whatever
• 47:00
  reason, begins to it has been killing any omega that they send her away
• 47:06
  for help. And at one point, the very the werewolf that the omega
• 47:15
  wolf that had attacked and bit Mark was actually Michelle Hughes second in command.
• 47:23
  He he was there, he was the point of contact for the Bennett pack
• 47:28
  with for on Michelle's on Alpha Hue's behalf. But during one of this uh
• 47:36
  during his most recent visit, he begins to go feral, which is unusual
• 47:43
  because where wolves when they have when they are part of a pack and they
• 47:46
  have an alpha, they don't go They can't. They don't have any risk
• 47:50
  of going feral. It's only if they lose their alpha. If they lose
• 47:53
  or if they leave their pack, but for some reason he spat contaneously goes
• 48:00
  feral and attacks the Benet pack. Now they subdue him, but in the
• 48:06
  process Mark gets bitten and Carter licks his wound. And that's and the reason
• 48:14
  why I'm pointing that out is because when uh when this when mischie when Hughes
• 48:23
  Second comes back to himself, he has a moment of clarity. They interrogate
• 48:28
  him and they ask him why did he attack and why are you going feral?
• 48:31
  He reveals that, as it turns out, there have been Betas from
• 48:39
  all over the country have been going feral. And he also reveals that they
• 48:47
  learned that the reason for this is because of some kind of wolf born infection,
• 48:54
  So which is unusual because were wolves they don't get sick, they can't
• 48:59
  get sick. But this is some but he reveals that this is some form
• 49:04
  of magic that causes wolves to go completely feral and it spreads through a bite.
• 49:14
  And guess who just got bitten? Oh yep, so Mark Bennett was
• 49:20
  bitten by His name was Pappus, the Hughes former second when he goes when
• 49:30
  he went feral, he bit Mark. And the thing is the infection also
• 49:34
  spreads through blood contamination, and since Carter licked Mark's wounds, he also got
• 49:43
  infected. So unfortunately for Carter and for Mark, they have to be quarantined.
• 50:00
  And after uh, after Papa's reveals what's been going on in the fact
• 50:07
  that he that Alpha Hughes has been hiding it from the Bennett pack, Joe
• 50:10
  and Ox call up Hughes and uh they call up Hughes. Uh. So
• 50:17
  they call her via video through a video call, and when she answers,
• 50:22
  they question her and she admits that yes, there is an infection and it
• 50:27
  has been causing wolves to go feral. If Papa's has been infected, just
• 50:30
  make sure no one has been bitten, and you should be fine, but
• 50:34
  you got to put him down. But then, but then they let slip
• 50:37
  that both Mark and Carter have been infected, and Hughes is like, oh,
• 50:45
  well, that's a shame. You should put him down because within the
• 50:49
  next two weeks they're going to go feral. And Joe, Joe and Ox
• 50:54
  they immediately are all like, hell, no, We're going to figure out
• 50:58
  a way to cure these guys, because if this is some form of magic,
• 51:00
  it was definitely caused by Livingstone. So all they need to do is
• 51:05
  figure out a way to stop the infection. And the way they do that
• 51:08
  they need to find Robert Livingstone himself. And the problem is is that no
• 51:15
  one knows where he is, not even uh uh, not even Alpha Hughes
• 51:20
  has been able to find him. But Hughes. And this is where I'm
• 51:25
  like, fuck that bitch. She's She gives them an ultimatum. She tells
• 51:31
  them if if you don't put your if you don't put Mark and Carter down
• 51:37
  alongside Papa's, then within the next three days, then you're gonna face the
• 51:44
  consequences. And with that she ends the call. And of course the Benett
• 51:52
  pack are like, no, fuck that bitch. We're not gonna kill our
• 51:57
  own family. We're gonna figure this out. We're gonna try to find a
• 52:00
  way to save our family. But for the time being, they do keep
• 52:07
  an eye on Carter and Mark. The three days go by, they call
• 52:12
  up Michelle again to try to convince her to change her mind and try to
• 52:15
  convince her to like help them. She still stands. She stands by her
• 52:20
  words and says, if you don't put them down, I'm going then your
• 52:22
  whole pack will be considered rogue. And when they tell her to go fuck
• 52:29
  herself, she says, all right, well then I have no choice,
• 52:31
  and then she declares the Bennett Pack a Roague pack. And then she places
• 52:36
  a quarantine on Green Creek. Oh because she has to, she said,
• 52:40
  because, in her own words, she has to assume that the entire pack
• 52:44
  has been infected. Oh shit, yep, so they know this is bad.
• 52:52
  So uh. Now that they know that the that as well and Alpha
• 53:02
  Hughes are to be considered a threat, the Bennett Pack begins to try to
• 53:07
  figure out a way to prepare themselves for whatever is gonna come, so they
• 53:10
  start showing up the defenses around the town. They Gordo places more wards because
• 53:17
  in the previous book, when Collins attacked Green Creek, Livingstone was able to
• 53:27
  fuck with the wards in order to let him get in. But now Gordo
• 53:32
  knows better, so he strengthened the wards and made it to where living Stone
• 53:37
  can no longer affect any of the protection or protective spells around their territory.
• 53:45
  He also begins calling around the nation to other witches that aren't affiliated with any
• 53:52
  packs to try to see if there's any way they can help him with figuring
• 53:55
  out a way to cure this werewolf infection, and he he does reach a
• 54:05
  couple of witches who are able to help him. Uh they said. They
• 54:09
  agree to help him and figure and figuring out a way to to either stop
• 54:15
  the progression of the infection or to cure it entirely. But they quickly tell
• 54:21
  him that the only way that they're going to be able, the only surefire
• 54:22
  way that they can stop this infection completely is by killing Robert living By killing
• 54:29
  Robert Livingstone because he's the man who because it was from his magic that created
• 54:37
  the infection in the first place. So the Bent Pack do everything they can.
• 54:51
  They keep an eye on their family, on their two infected family members,
• 54:54
  but but as the weeks go by, they to exhibit omega tendencies.
• 55:04
  They start snapping at people. At one point, Mark lost control of himself
• 55:13
  for a moment and he ends up striking his sister in law, Elizabeth,
• 55:20
  and he was so upset about it that he almost immediately for he almost immediately
• 55:27
  demanded to be quarantined. And the way they did that is since werewolves can't
• 55:32
  touch silver because silver burns them. I feel like this is kind of something
• 55:37
  out of supernatural, because what they would end up doing is using silver dust,
• 55:44
  they create a line on the ground. So if they like draw a
• 55:47
  circle with silver, the werewolves can't cross it. It creates like a barrier
• 55:52
  that they can't cross. So it's like, okay, go stand in your
• 55:58
  circle of silver. So that's how they quarantine both Carter and Mark. But
• 56:07
  it's at this point that now that that Gordo is beginning to realize that he's
• 56:14
  an idiot because he still loves and he still loves and cares about Mark,
• 56:21
  and now that Mark is on the verge of completely losing himself, he's becoming
• 56:25
  frantic in his quest to find the cure. And the thing about the infection
• 56:37
  itself is that it targets the tethers that bind wolves to each other, So
• 56:43
  the tethers that connect them to their alpha and the rest of their pack,
• 56:45
  and even the tethers that connect them to like one individual person. The infection
• 56:52
  targets those tethers, and when those tethers deteriorate and break and completely break,
• 56:58
  that's what causes the warl to go fairal and Uh. Gordo realizes that,
• 57:12
  like the pack began, realizes that well, maybe he needs a stronger tether.
• 57:17
  And what's stronger than the tether between official mates and uh gay, Yeah,
• 57:30
  a throuble, A throuble, yes, no tether to another couple.
• 57:44
  No, well no it okay. So Gordo decides to stop fucking around and
• 57:49
  he admits his his feelings were marked. And like I said before, I
• 57:58
  can't well, actually I can't remember if I actually mentioned this in the last
• 58:00
  book, but uh, the way that were wolves become uh become officially mated
• 58:08
  with each other and create the mate bond is it's through sex and uh,
• 58:20
  at the height of the set of at the height of sex, the climax,
• 58:24
  if you will. At the climax, werewolves will typically bite each other.
• 58:31
  And usually when you uh, when a werewolf uh gets bitten or if
• 58:37
  they're hurt in any way, their body heels and they don't scar. But
• 58:43
  uh, when they are bitten during the mating it lea It actually leaves a
• 58:52
  scar, and it's called the mating scar, and that creates the mating bond
• 58:59
  between the between wre wolves. So yeah, kinky, kinky. Uh so
• 59:10
  yeah, So Gordo just says fuck it and decides to make it official.
• 59:15
  With Mark and takes on the mating bond with the maide the the bite from
• 59:25
  Mark, but also it's kind of interesting being a witch because when when they
• 59:34
  you know, reach their climax and Mark bites him. Gordo also leaves a
• 59:37
  mark on well Mark and this mark is actually in the shape of a raven
• 59:46
  because with Gordo, his signature is a raven. He has a tattoo of
• 59:54
  a raven on his arm, and he even after his father put those magical
• 1:00:01
  tattoos on him, he got another tattoo on his chest of a wolf and
• 1:00:06
  a raven. So of course, like the wolf is, it's a brown
• 1:00:10
  wolf and a raven and the brown the brown wolf is of course Mark,
• 1:00:17
  and the raven is of what is him? Yeah, so, once the
• 1:00:23
  mating bond was created, Gordo is left with a scar on his neck and
• 1:00:29
  uh, Mark has a now has a tattoo of of a raven on his
• 1:00:38
  neck too, So yeah, but they did so. They had done this
• 1:00:51
  in an effort to create a stronger tether to help Mark stays sane for a
• 1:00:58
  longer period of time. But unfortunately it proves to be it proves to not
• 1:01:02
  be enough because the infection almost immediately breaks that tether, so like you know,
• 1:01:10
  after they have sex and everything, Gardo wakes up and he finds Mark
• 1:01:15
  in the kitchen of his house, and when he goes to him, Mark
• 1:01:20
  turns around and he tells Gordo to run because Mark at that point begins to
• 1:01:24
  go completely feral. So poor Mark, poor Gordo. Like they finally they
• 1:01:34
  finally say fuck it, and well fuck and now Gordo and now Mark has
• 1:01:39
  gone completely feral, completely forgetting his humanity and his emotional tethers and attacks Guardo.
• 1:01:50
  But luckily for him, the rest the others in the pack sense when
• 1:01:57
  Mark's tethers to the pack begins to complete disappeared, and they came. They
• 1:02:01
  come quickly, and they they knock out Mark and they take him back to
• 1:02:07
  their to their home, and there they quarantine him. They put him in
• 1:02:14
  a they trap him in a barrier of salt, I'm sorry, a barrier
• 1:02:17
  of silver, and now he can't get out or hurt anybody. Gordo is
• 1:02:28
  upset understandably, and the other uh and Carter realizes that it's coming on,
• 1:02:38
  that the it's gonna happen a lot quicker. So he decided so Carter decides
• 1:02:47
  to willingly quarantine himself in a line of silver so that way he doesn't hurt
• 1:02:52
  his family. Now, his brother Kelly is upset because Kelly and they do
• 1:03:00
  have a very close relationship. In fact, they are each other's tether.
• 1:03:05
  So seeing his brother in a position like this is very upsetting for him,
• 1:03:08
  and at one point he even tries to At one point he even wants to
• 1:03:15
  be quarantined and with his brother, but the rest of the pact, they
• 1:03:22
  managed to convince him not to. Now here's where things begin to pick up.
• 1:03:31
  Despite the fact that they despite the fact that they managed to keep Mark
• 1:03:42
  from hurting anyone else, there's still the fact that there are other omegas out
• 1:03:46
  there and they're going to begin hurting people. And also, Ox has been
• 1:04:01
  slowly coming to realize that he has a lot more power than he fully that
• 1:04:10
  he was fully aware of, So when he became a werewolf, he realized
• 1:04:16
  that he also had a connection to the other, to the omegas that were
• 1:04:19
  following Richard Collins. Now and it wasn't just then, but all not just
• 1:04:26
  those omegas, but all of them, And at first it was too much
• 1:04:32
  for him, so he had Gordo place a block on his mind to keep
• 1:04:36
  him from feeling these omegas all around him. But they come up with an
• 1:04:45
  idea too, maybe use that to their advantage, allowing Ox to become not
• 1:04:59
  just an alpha, but an alpha, not just an alpha of his own
• 1:05:02
  pack, but an alpha of all of the omegas the werewolves that don't have
• 1:05:06
  a pack m M. And the reason what what really spurned them into action
• 1:05:14
  was because now they begin to see UH the CA they begin to they ex
• 1:05:21
  UH, they encounter what Michelle Hughes has decided to do M Because Michelle being
• 1:05:31
  the h being the alpha of alphas, as she has access to a lot
• 1:05:38
  of resources, including UH an army of witches, and this particular army of
• 1:05:45
  witches, about thirty of them come to the come to Green Creek, and
• 1:05:51
  they use their magic to seize control of the Green Creek's Wards, so they
• 1:05:58
  seize control of them and take over. They basically rip the Wards away from
• 1:06:01
  Gordo's control and they alter them so now instead of the Wards keeping werewolves and
• 1:06:10
  other supernatural beings out of Green Creek, but the Wards will now keep the
• 1:06:15
  Bennett pack in who so the Bennetts are trapped and they have no way of
• 1:06:24
  they have no way of defending themselves from whatever else is coming their way.
• 1:06:30
  And they do eventually figure it out when, uh, when they're town,
• 1:06:41
  when the entire town is attacked by a large group of hunters. So,
• 1:06:47
  as it turns out, Michelle Hughes made a deal with the last surviving member
• 1:06:54
  of the King's hunter family, Meredith King. As if you and if you
• 1:07:01
  remember, she was part of the she was a part of the hunting party
• 1:07:05
  that attacked the Bennetts decades ago, and now she's back with an even larger
• 1:07:12
  force of hunters and they completely seize control of the city of the town.
• 1:07:17
  Now Green Creek is in a big town. There's only like a couple hundred
• 1:07:20
  residents there, so it's a pretty small town. And Meredith she has she
• 1:07:32
  not only has a large group of arm of fully armed hunters, but she
• 1:07:39
  also has two pet werewolves with her. These werewolves are omegas. They've completely
• 1:07:45
  lost their humanity, so they're both in their full wolf form, so at
• 1:07:49
  this point they're like animals, but she quote unquote tamed them, so they're
• 1:07:55
  like basically pets to her, and using her course, she drives the Bennetts
• 1:08:01
  UH to the very edge of their territory, and she takes over the cities,
• 1:08:08
  the town center, and she even commandeers Gordo's UH shop. UH.
• 1:08:15
  Some of the the Bennett pack gets injured in the fight, but they had
• 1:08:21
  to retreat and regroup, and it was during all this that Mark goes completely
• 1:08:30
  feral and Carter decides to quarantine himself. But in that in desperation, Gordon
• 1:08:38
  Ox decides to have Gordo remove that block on his mind because now since they're
• 1:08:45
  they're outnumbered and outgunned, they need to even the odds, and that's for
• 1:08:49
  Ox to fully embrace his role as the Alpha the Omegas. Yeah, serie,
• 1:08:58
  shut the fuck up, you should Devin cut that out? Who all
• 1:09:03
  right? But yeah, So when he does this, Ox immediately begins to
• 1:09:11
  feel his connection with the other with the Omegas, not just the ones that
• 1:09:15
  are trapped in the UH in the city in Green Creek with them, but
• 1:09:19
  the ones that are outside of the wards yea, and he immediately assumes control
• 1:09:25
  of them. So now Ox has complete control over all of the Omegas.
• 1:09:33
  And also part of the reason why he decided to embrace this role is because
• 1:09:39
  he believed that since the since the infection turns werewolves into omegas, he would
• 1:09:47
  be able to control them and further prevent the spread of the infection because if
• 1:09:54
  he has control over the omegas, he can stop them from attacking people,
• 1:09:58
  from attacking other wors and spreading the infection. And it works. Carter,
• 1:10:05
  who was still more or less himself, he still retains his humanity more or
• 1:10:11
  less, and he's able to remain himself. But because Mark is further along
• 1:10:15
  than he was, Mark just simply reverts to his full wolf form. But
• 1:10:20
  he's now more or less in control of himself. And with this, Ox
• 1:10:30
  and the others they go to the to the barrier around Green Creek and confront
• 1:10:36
  the witches there. And it's there that Ox calls to the other omegas that
• 1:10:41
  are outside of the wards and they come running and they completely slaughter all the
• 1:10:45
  witches around the town. Yeah, And with that, Gordo is able to
• 1:10:53
  reassume control of the wards and he's able to open them, allowing the werewolves
• 1:10:58
  the omegas to come in. And with that they launched a full scale attack
• 1:11:01
  against the hunters and they managed to kill all the hunters except for Meredith.
• 1:11:09
  She she had strapped herself with a vests containing an explosive device as well as
• 1:11:17
  cylinders filled cylinders filled with silver ball bearings. So if she blows so she's
• 1:11:25
  planning to blow herself up and taking as many whirls with her as possible.
• 1:11:30
  Now, when the Hunters had control over the city, over the town,
• 1:11:33
  the Bennett pack had evacuated many of the residents and had them go into hiding.
• 1:11:42
  A lot of them were They had them hide in a local bar that
• 1:11:46
  was owned by this lovely lady named Bambi, and she's also Bamby is also
• 1:11:54
  the love interest of one of Gordo's human friends, Rico. In the last
• 1:12:00
  book, Ox had brought in Uh to their pack. So now not only
• 1:12:06
  do the human UH, not only do the humans other pack of course know
• 1:12:14
  who were wolves are, but the entire town knows of the existence of werewolves
• 1:12:17
  now and during the final confrontation with the wolf UH with the hunters UH,
• 1:12:27
  they see all the wolves and all the fighting. And at one point though
• 1:12:33
  one of the Omega wolves that Uh Meredith kept as a pet a very large
• 1:12:42
  It's described as a very large timber wolf. And when I say very large,
• 1:12:47
  I mean it's about the size of a Racehorse. Yeah, the world,
• 1:12:53
  the werewolves and this on this book are huge. I don't know if
• 1:12:57
  I yeah, I don't know if I mentioned up before. But Ox he's
• 1:13:01
  actually the biggest, so he's he's huge and when he's in his wolf form.
• 1:13:09
  But this timberwolf in particular didn't respond to Ox when he assumed control over
• 1:13:15
  the Omegas, and he's still more or less fought against uh, the Bennetts.
• 1:13:23
  But when this wolf encounters Carter Bennett in a fight, instead of attacking
• 1:13:30
  him, it ends up like sniffing him, and then it grabs him and
• 1:13:36
  tries to pull him away from all the fighting, and it starts to act
• 1:13:41
  as if it's trying to protect him. And this, let me tell you
• 1:13:45
  something, the dynamic between this timberwolf and Carter Bennett is hilarious because, for
• 1:13:53
  one thing, Carter is extremely annoyed because the timberwolf ends up attaching itself to
• 1:13:58
  Carter and it begins falling him everywhere like a shadow and and rarely gives him
• 1:14:03
  any kind of personal space. And he doesn't understand why the timberwolf is doing
• 1:14:09
  that. But then everyone else in the pack they are losing their ship because
• 1:14:14
  they know why since it's still a where since the Timberwolf, it's still a
• 1:14:19
  werewolf, just an omega. It's still technically human, and it's a it's
• 1:14:26
  still a werewolf. And werewolves are a romantic. Yeah, So they are
• 1:14:33
  very their senses are very smell oriented, and when they encounter their true mate,
• 1:14:45
  it's they know based off of sense of smell. And Carter didn't realize
• 1:14:51
  this, but the Timberwolf recognized him as his mate, and for the next
• 1:15:00
  two books, Carter well like after this, like for the next book,
• 1:15:04
  Carter doesn't even know why the wolf is so attached to him, but everyone
• 1:15:08
  else in the pack they're losing. They're just like they're just laughing at him
• 1:15:12
  because they're like, oh my god, he's so dumb. When should we
• 1:15:15
  tell him. Who's gonna tell him? No one? Okay, good?
• 1:15:18
  I just I want to see how a lot it takes from to figure it
• 1:15:21
  out. But in the end, the Bennett pack does come out on top.
• 1:15:32
  They do defeat the rest of the hunters, and when Meredith straps the
• 1:15:39
  bomb to her chest, she tries to blow up the bar that the majority
• 1:15:44
  of the Green Creek residents were hyating in, but before she did, the
• 1:15:51
  human members of the pack managed to like sneak in from the back entrance and
• 1:15:57
  lead everyone out. So when she so when Meredith, when she's finally confronted,
• 1:16:01
  she runs into the bar and blows herself up. But she doesn't kill
• 1:16:05
  anybody. Yeah, she just blows up an empty bar, which pisses off
• 1:16:11
  Bambi because that was her bar. Who And this is pretty much we're very
• 1:16:18
  pretty much at the end of the book. Uh. Gordo, along with
• 1:16:24
  the help of the other witches that he had contacted earlier, they were able
• 1:16:30
  to help Mark and Carter more or less regain their humanity again, because even
• 1:16:36
  though Ox had taken control of the Omegash, Mark is still more or less
• 1:16:44
  trapped in his wolf form. So using the same technique that Gordo used to
• 1:16:49
  put a block in Ox's head, they create another mental block in Mark and
• 1:16:54
  Carter, which allows them to rein in their feral side and regain their humanity
• 1:17:00
  again and as well as regain the teathers that bind them to the pattern.
• 1:17:05
  It's it's a band aid, it's duct tape over a leaky over a leaky
• 1:17:10
  pipe, but it works now Gordo and Mark. They do end up moving
• 1:17:20
  Mark ends up moving in with Gordo and Uh they begin their relationship in full
• 1:17:28
  and while it's not perfect, UH, it's a start. And also before
• 1:17:33
  I forget earlier when the so Gordo has also begin is also dealing with his
• 1:17:43
  own UH trauma trauma. At this point, both Mark and Gordo are dealing
• 1:17:49
  with their own trauma. Mark, even though he has that block, that
• 1:17:56
  mental block put in place to keep his feral side from taking over, he
• 1:18:01
  still has to deal with It's basically like they locked a wolf on the other
• 1:18:06
  side of the door, and that wolf is constantly scratching at that door,
• 1:18:12
  and some days it's easier to ignore, but other days, very rarely,
• 1:18:17
  it's almost unbearable. So he has his ups and his downs. But Gordo
• 1:18:24
  is also facing his own up and downs because earlier, when they went to
• 1:18:30
  confront the witches that were controlling that had taken over the wards, one of
• 1:18:34
  them ran through the barrier and tried to attack Ox with a silver knife,
• 1:18:41
  and Gordo he stepped in and defended Ox, but when he was trying to
• 1:18:46
  block the knife, the witch that attacked ended up cutting off his right hand,
• 1:18:55
  so Gordo lost his hand and they weren't it. Yeah, so he
• 1:19:00
  wasn't able and they weren't even able to reconnect it either. You would think
• 1:19:04
  that witches would be able to uh, a bunch of witches with healing abilities
• 1:19:12
  would be able to reattach his severed hand. WHOA maybe mhmm, I mean
• 1:19:20
  not Uh, yeah, I guess, but either way, Uh. Now,
• 1:19:30
  Gordo, even though they healed his they healed his hand, he's still
• 1:19:33
  missing it and he has to adjust to having only one hand. Like Mark
• 1:19:39
  has his ups and is down, Gordo has his ups and downs. There
• 1:19:42
  are days where he forgets that he's no longer has his hand and he'll reach
• 1:19:45
  for something with that hand and realize, oh, it's gone. So it's
• 1:19:53
  something that the two of them have to learn to live with, at least
• 1:19:57
  for now. Uh. But now that they have each other, they're able
• 1:20:02
  to be there for each other and honestly, like, it's it's funny how
• 1:20:10
  the rest of the pack gives them a lot of ship for this, because
• 1:20:13
  they're like, it's about It's about damn time. You know, both the
• 1:20:16
  two of you are fonding over each other. Yeah, Mark more openly fonding
• 1:20:20
  over you, Gordo. You you, uh, you hold on to that
• 1:20:26
  gruphic sterior and then when you think no one is looking, we see you
• 1:20:29
  giving Mark the googly eyes, the Google love eyes, the love eyes.
• 1:20:33
  Yeah, uh huh. And Mark and then and Gordo of course makes death
• 1:20:39
  threats to everybody like I will kill you all if you keep that up.
• 1:20:43
  But dude, it when you read, when you get around reading these books,
• 1:20:46
  man, like they're the dynamic. But with the Bennett Pack, the
• 1:20:51
  family dynamic is hilarious. It's just so it's they're they're very close, they
• 1:20:58
  love each other, and the way they hang shit on each each other is
• 1:21:00
  just amazing. I love it. Like they're there. You've seen me,
• 1:21:05
  Like I'll be like we'll be hanging out and I'll be reading and then you'll
• 1:21:09
  just see me like put the my phone down and I'm just like like I'm
• 1:21:12
  just I'm just like I can't Yeah, you're having a moment. I'm just
• 1:21:17
  like I'm having a moment here like like either I'm not okay because something something
• 1:21:23
  went down in the book that just got me like ah fuck. And then
• 1:21:26
  there are other moments where all like that's great, yeah pretty much sounds about
• 1:21:31
  right. Yeah yeah, But Other than that, we're pretty much at the
• 1:21:40
  end of the book. The book ends not from the perspective of Gordo,
• 1:21:44
  but from the perspective of Michelle Hughes. Yeah. Back over in Caswell,
• 1:21:51
  Maine and the Maine uh in the Wolf Compound and the Werewolf Compound, Michelle
• 1:22:00
  Hughes has not heard anything from the from the hunters that she sent to Green
• 1:22:10
  Creek to kill the Bennett family, which is fucked up because a werewolf made
• 1:22:17
  a deal with hunters to kill other werewolves. Yeah, and her, you
• 1:22:27
  know, her own pack witch, who had been the ponent of contact between
• 1:22:30
  her and the other witches, hasn't heard anything, and they assume, and
• 1:22:33
  they can only assume that their plan failed. But just as they're trying to
• 1:22:40
  figure out what's due next, her compound comes under attack and guess who walks
• 1:22:46
  through her front door. Robert Livingstone Dun Dun Dunn looking Stone. Yeah,
• 1:23:00
  Livingstone easily overwhelms her wolves because he's now has access to some form of dark
• 1:23:10
  magic. We don't really know where he got his power from, because apparently
• 1:23:15
  was his magic had been stripped from him, but when at this point,
• 1:23:18
  we don't know how he got his magic back, and we don't know who
• 1:23:21
  helped him escape, because somebody helped him escape. But now he's back and
• 1:23:27
  he's even more powerful than ever, and he makes a deal with Michelle Hughes,
• 1:23:33
  and the thing is the deal. The deal was that Michelle would help
• 1:23:39
  him not take down the Bennett Pack, but rather retrieve something that the Bennetts
• 1:23:47
  have that he wants. And what he wants is his son. Who oh,
• 1:24:01
  but he's not talking about Gordo what. Yeah, So at the end
• 1:24:11
  of the Raving Song it is revealed h Livingstone reveals that he has another son
• 1:24:21
  and that son is currently with the Bennett Pack. Mm hmmm, what is
• 1:24:29
  it? Yep? And Hughes, being obnoxious and arrogant, thinking that she
• 1:24:39
  somehow hasn't has an edge over living Stone, she challenges him and she's like,
• 1:24:44
  well, what do you have? Well, how does this benefit mean?
• 1:24:47
  What can you give me in return? M hm? And and how
• 1:24:55
  are we and how exactly are we going to go about getting your son back
• 1:24:58
  from the Bens And I've only mentioned this character. I haven't mentioned this character
• 1:25:03
  at all in this in this book. I mean, he's there, he's
• 1:25:09
  a part of the Bennett Pack, but he was introduced in book one.
• 1:25:12
  His name is Robbie Hm. He was originally so in the previous book.
• 1:25:20
  Robbie was the point of contact for Alpha Hughes with the Bennett Pack. But
• 1:25:26
  the thing about Robbie was is that he never he didn't really consider himself a
• 1:25:30
  part, like a full member of Alpha Hughes pack. He always bounced around
• 1:25:35
  from pack to pack. And when he came to Bennett Pack, he realized
• 1:25:40
  he had something more here and he became a full, full fledged member of
• 1:25:44
  the pack. And that's mainly because he found his own mate in the Bennett
• 1:25:48
  Pack, and that was the second son. That was the second Bennett son,
• 1:25:57
  Kelly Bennett so very so Kelly and so Key and I haven't really talked
• 1:26:09
  about it much, but there's there is a lot of foreshadowing. Kelly doesn't
• 1:26:14
  it's kind of oblivious to Robbie at first, but Robbie begins to fawn over
• 1:26:17
  him and follow him all over and follow him all over the place, and
• 1:26:23
  throughout the second book we see more of that and it leads up to this
• 1:26:27
  is the the hint of what's going to come in the next book, and
• 1:26:30
  that is the love story. The romance is going to be centered around Robbie
• 1:26:36
  and Kelly Bennett, and Livingstone tells Alpha Hughes that he makes her a deal.
• 1:26:46
  He tells her, I know you, I know Robbie was once a
• 1:26:49
  part of your pack. So work with me and I'll help you get him
• 1:26:54
  back, and we'll use him as a weapon against the and we'll also use
• 1:26:58
  him as a weapon against the Bennetts. So win win. It'll help me
• 1:27:02
  get my son back. And that is where the book ends. Oh,
• 1:27:11
  there's treachery. There's treachery. Let me tell you book three of I'm sorry
• 1:27:26
  it's uh, I'm throwing a blank of aner Book three, Heartstone, I'm
• 1:27:30
  sorry, heart song. It's an emotional rollercoaster for me at least, whoop,
• 1:27:40
  because by this point we've already established like you've already like like, Robbie
• 1:27:46
  has been a part of the pack for some time now. And you you
• 1:27:51
  know, if you're like me and you like I mean, this happens to
• 1:27:55
  anyone. When you read a book, you do, you do tend to
• 1:27:59
  form an emotional bond with the characters in the book. And by book three,
• 1:28:02
  you've already formed a bond with Robbie because he's a part of the He's
• 1:28:08
  a part of the whole story and the lead the build up to his relationship
• 1:28:16
  with Kelly is there, and you're just like, oh, I can't wait
• 1:28:20
  to see how they become, how they come together. I can't wait to
• 1:28:25
  see this. Right. Well, then you get to Heart Song and suddenly
• 1:28:28
  you're like, no, no, they you got me fucked up. They
• 1:28:32
  wouldn't, they didn't. Oh they did, they did. Oh, But
• 1:28:42
  it's a word. It's worth it. In the end, I won't go
• 1:28:45
  any further than that. You'll just have to wait until next week when we
• 1:28:50
  review book three of the Green Creek series of Heart Song. Yeah, so
• 1:29:00
  thank you guys for tuning in. Yeah, Like, for those of you
• 1:29:05
  who are expecting the typical movie reviews like like we've been doing, we are
• 1:29:11
  stepping away from that, especially with this series, because there's no movie adaptation
• 1:29:15
  for Wolf's Song or the or its other sequels. Honestly, I'm not sure
• 1:29:23
  how it feel about it because someone I think, I think, like HBO
• 1:29:29
  Max or max if anybody should be doing it, so they can just do
• 1:29:33
  it as like on so it can be as much as the book is because
• 1:29:43
  it's a little more. I would say this book's a what would you say?
• 1:29:45
  This book is not free, It's obviously a little more adult. It
• 1:29:50
  is definitely more adult because there are sexually there are sexually explicit scenes and aside
• 1:29:58
  from like, aside from the sex, it also goes into the fact that
• 1:30:05
  well thing about werewolves is that it comes down to nudity as well, because
• 1:30:13
  nudity is a very common thing when it comes to werewolves. Because you know
• 1:30:16
  when when it when a werewolf turns from their human form to their wolf form.
• 1:30:21
  You know, especially wolves the size of of horses, it's not going
• 1:30:27
  to be you know, their clothes aren't going to survive a man. You're
• 1:30:30
  gonna see a man's ass and a pen. You're gonna see You're gonna see
• 1:30:35
  ass, tits and pens all over the place, all right. And it's
• 1:30:42
  very common throughout the book, and they though the funny thing. The one
• 1:30:45
  thing I love about it though, is that like uh so, like a
• 1:30:48
  lot of the characters they make a lot of they joke about it all the
• 1:30:50
  time. And they joke about it all the time, like when uh Gordo's
• 1:30:59
  human friends are brought into the pack and they learn about were wolves, they
• 1:31:02
  they themselves see the wolf members of the pack, you know, naked multiple
• 1:31:08
  times, especially during the full moon when they're about to turn into their wolf,
• 1:31:11
  you know, when the moon compels them to turn into a wolf.
• 1:31:14
  They see that, they see their pack mats naked more more often than they
• 1:31:18
  make those jokes about it. And just like I've seen way too many I've
• 1:31:23
  seen way too many of my closest friends naked. Now, thanks for that,
• 1:31:27
  and it's just it's hilarious. They make light of it, and you
• 1:31:31
  know, the thing is is that it adjusts to the fact that, like,
• 1:31:34
  you know, a lot of people tend to see nudity as a sexual
• 1:31:39
  thing, but with were wolves, it's not. It's actually completely natural and
• 1:31:44
  it's very common, all right. Of course, they have the common sense
• 1:31:48
  to wear clothes when in public and not you know, strutting det in the
• 1:31:53
  middle of town buck ass nude, although that does happen a few times in
• 1:31:56
  this book, especially when the hunters attack and some of the members and some
• 1:32:00
  of the Pact members when they turn back into their human forms and oh yeah,
• 1:32:05
  naked os. Yeah, you know, rock out with your cockout,
• 1:32:15
  rock out with your cock out. But yeah, so definitely, if this
• 1:32:21
  if this series is ever adapted into some form of live action series. I
• 1:32:28
  definitely I think HBO Max would be better if not them, maybe maybe Prime
• 1:32:36
  because Prime does there they tend to make a lot of like decent adult themed
• 1:32:43
  shows. Yeah, though personally I think it would be better off with Max
• 1:32:47
  because I can see it. But someone had the audacity to call this book
• 1:32:56
  the Twilight of Werewolves. Oh, and I'm like, how dare you?
• 1:33:00
  Sir? Oh damn, Like, how how dare you? I'm that statement,
• 1:33:09
  I actually am, because unlike Twilight with the sparkly vampire bullshit, this
• 1:33:19
  is this story is more faithful to how were wolves are in mythology because like
• 1:33:28
  I mean, of course, like most of the werewolves we see in this
• 1:33:30
  book are purebred werewolves, which meaning that they were born were wolves. Yeah,
• 1:33:38
  but then it also just the fact that where humans can be turned into
• 1:33:43
  a were wolf, but it's only if an alpha werewolf bites you. And
• 1:33:49
  that's what happened when Ox was turned into a were wolf. That's what happens.
• 1:33:54
  I'm not gonna that's a spoiler. I'm not gonna tell you until next
• 1:33:59
  week. H but it that's what happens. And then it also and then
• 1:34:04
  also wear wolves in this book, they do turn their they are they do.
• 1:34:11
  Uh, they do turn under the full moon mm hmm. And but
• 1:34:17
  for them, like what the thing about the full moon is that for them,
• 1:34:21
  it's more kind of like a monthly thing, like like, oh,
• 1:34:25
  it's that time of the month we're gonna turn into where wolves have some fun
• 1:34:27
  and then you know, chill the rest of the chill the next morning.
• 1:34:31
  Yeah, it's more of like a it's like a like a night for them.
• 1:34:35
  It's just like their monthly nightly outing. Yeah, all right, it's
• 1:34:40
  not it's not them going completely feral and like running around killing, pouring some
• 1:34:45
  deer and you know, ravaging the town. It's a typical thing that happens
• 1:34:49
  every month. Yep. But aside from that, they have complete control of
• 1:34:56
  their transformations, so they can turn anytime they want, and there's a lot
• 1:35:03
  more. I think this is a lot better because you know, the so
• 1:35:09
  called werewolves in Twilight are not a romantic at all. I mean, if
• 1:35:15
  you read the books, yeah, they do have higher senses and you know,
• 1:35:17
  smell, sight and hearing, but it doesn't really address the fact that
• 1:35:24
  wolves in general are a romantic. They they're very they're scent oriented, and
• 1:35:33
  in the Green Greek Chronicles it is they capture that like, even as humans,
• 1:35:40
  they still have wolf like tendencies, meaning that they rely on their sense
• 1:35:45
  of smell a lot more than the than their sense of hearing and their sense
• 1:35:47
  of sight and other things. So I think it's way better. I mean,
• 1:35:54
  yeah, argument can be made that it's Twilight of war Wolves just because
• 1:35:58
  of the love and the romance, but I don't think so mm hmmmm.
• 1:36:02
  I think it's way better. And the characters in these books are so much
• 1:36:09
  more relatable. Yeah, and it's a lot more for me. I think
• 1:36:14
  it's a lot more wholesome because there's such a strong family dynamic here. It
• 1:36:18
  just it honestly makes me, like it makes my heartache because I'm just like,
• 1:36:23
  they are such a this is such a loving family. And then I'm
• 1:36:28
  a low key a little jealous of it because, like, you know,
• 1:36:30
  my family dynamic is not like that at all. Yeah, most of us
• 1:36:35
  can barely stand each other. Yeah, it also has a found family dynamic
• 1:36:45
  as well, so it's not just like oh family like blood family very close
• 1:36:50
  to each other, like the ben And family itself. They're very close,
• 1:36:55
  but they also have their own found family. Like the Pack practically adopted Oxen
• 1:37:01
  to their family because not just because they thought he was such a sweet and
• 1:37:05
  special kid, but also because he brought Joe back to them when when they
• 1:37:14
  moved back to Green Creek, Joe Bennett, the youngest of their youngest son,
• 1:37:19
  had been so severely traumatized by his experience with Richard Collins that he did
• 1:37:26
  not speak. He was basically a shell of who he used to be.
• 1:37:30
  You know, you realize how bad that is for a ten year old child
• 1:37:33
  to go through something like that. Yeah, Like he he did not speak
• 1:37:40
  or utter a single word in over a year and it was basically like a
• 1:37:45
  zombie and you know it, you know that experience it really hurt their family,
• 1:37:56
  Like their parents were just so up, there were just so trauma.
• 1:38:00
  They themselves were traumatized by what their son went through and his older brothers.
• 1:38:06
  They did everything they could to take care of Joe and try to, like,
• 1:38:10
  you know, make him feel comfortable and safe, but even that wasn't
• 1:38:15
  enough. But then the very day they moved back into their old home in
• 1:38:19
  Green Creek, Joe meets this this oversized, quiet, but very sweet and
• 1:38:28
  gentle kid and immediately comes out of the show and it's like he's back,
• 1:38:33
  He's back to his old self, and it's like they the Benett family felt
• 1:38:42
  so much gratitude towards Ox that they pretty much from that day forward, Ox
• 1:38:47
  was a part of their family. Even though he didn't know who they were
• 1:38:53
  at first, he was still a part of their family. And then we
• 1:38:58
  see more of that, like we see it when Ox eventually brings in his
• 1:39:02
  own mother into the into the into the pack, he brings in Rico Tanner
• 1:39:09
  and Chris from the shop, and then he even brings in his ex girlfriend
• 1:39:13
  Jesse, but that was kind of that was by necessity because she got kidnapped
• 1:39:17
  by werewolves like Omegas. And and even though like, yeah, circumstances forced
• 1:39:29
  some of these people into their lives and into the world of like the supernatural,
• 1:39:33
  they become such a they their family grows and becomes so much bigger and
• 1:39:40
  so much more close that I'm just like, h yeah, I love it.
• 1:39:47
  No, I agree, and I think it's great. Yeah, So
• 1:39:50
  Hurriyett, so Devin hurry and then read it. Yeah, so guys,
• 1:39:59
  we were actually originally planning on doing Yes, I'm gonna call you out.
• 1:40:03
  So we were originally gonna do Stephen King's fairy Tale. Yeah, we've been
• 1:40:10
  planning on doing that for a while now. I read it weeks ago,
• 1:40:14
  like over a month ago, and then no, no, no, no,
• 1:40:17
