I cannot believe that I started the series most looking forward to Cam's story and when it actually came down to it, I think I liked his story way less than all the others.

The thing that bothered me most was the imbalance between Cam's and Gareth's feelings. I was actually feeling bad for Gareth at the end of the book. He was so genuine about his love for Cam and so noble about the whole unrequited thing. Poor guy *sigh* Whereas I didn't quite believe Cam's feelings were of the same intensity as Gareth's, he was conflicted for about 2 seconds before he was like 'Huh, a potential bond. Sure, why not?'. I got the feeling that what he liked best about Gareth was the potential bond and not Gareth, per se. It just didn't seem like he valued Gareth most out of everyone. I think that if it had been some other beta with the potential, he would've reacted the same.

So, yeah, that sucked. Because Gareth had been in love for years and he deserved someone to choose him for himself, not for the bond thingy. *sigh*

Also, it annoyed me a lot that Gareth had to give up his Beta status because, somehow, he couldn't be both Alpha's Mate and Beta. I'm sure a solution could've been found. The whole thing was left up in the air, like, what will his obligations and duties be? I wanted to know more. Ugh, I hated this sacrifice. It just made me think even more that his love for Cam was greater than Cam's love for him.

So, that's that. Curious to see who's next. Maybe Luke?
