His mother, Maria, ridiculously refuses to give up control. His wife, Clara, has surrendered under duress. Which wolf Ryan feeds will determine the outcome. Either way, there are consequences and destructive aftermath to deal with. Ryan gathers his courage and makes his move, knowing full well that he could lose it all in the process.Ryan sticks with the counseling, despite his constant instinct to flee.
