[ Because Mako might not know it yet in words, but her bones understand that Raleigh wants to strip her of what humanity she has left, and the quickest way to that is the sever the tethers that anchor her to her human shape.
He's not strong enough to come after Pentecost yet, but then there's you. ]

[ Wolves - the ones who dive headfirst into it, the ones who shed their human shapes without looking back - know how things often go. You find a wolf that you like, you fight them. If they're taken by someone, or if they've got ties that won't let you in, you cut them out.
You bleed every step of the way, and Mako's at a disservice with the way she's been living - tied down by her human shape, encouraged by children and men who don't understand a single thing about why they howl. ]

[ Ignorance is something Raleigh can ignore, when heartfelt and natural. But willful ones, like those of young wolves who think they can ride the bridge between their shapes like it comes without consequences — well, Raleigh knows from experience, had seen it rip through his sister and some of their friends before the Academy. It eats you from the inside, and that more than anything had been a catalyst for Raleigh's decision to join his brother in changing over - be humans, be alive, be able to love and have families that won't tear apart from the inside and then find a cold place to build a fire right before they die in peace.
That was their plan. The sea took that from him, took them from him, and now Raleigh has two wolves trapped in the cage of his ribs, an alpha that doesn't belong to him and a wolfhound that yearns to bite down and settle; it tears the human in him apart. Raleigh doesn't have enough left to spare.
Perhaps it's why he wants Mako so much; the wolf inside her is so whole, so huge, so— controlled, that Raleigh knows he might just heel to her howl if he heard it. But the ties that bind her wolf keep him from hearing it, and it drives him up a goddamn wall.
He would fight this pup and rip him to shreds if he has to. Fight his father too, and tear through the man that tethers her to the ground. But Raleigh isn't that much of a fool, and he recognizes that he's not as strong as he needs to be; and though Alaska's where he first shed his skin, this is not his territory. He can play by the rules when he needs to.
(But God, he'd love to just snap Chuck's neck now, and feel the bones break under his teeth like a young boy's knees.) ]
