Wylan didn't force her. He didn't try to impose his will on her or command her to do something regardless of what she wanted. Marina almost wished he would, just so she would have some reason to validate her belief that everyone in this damn pack was terrible for keeping her against her will. But he didn't give her that reason. Instead, he gave her patience and understanding. He was so damn frustrating and it made Marina mad that she didn't have a reason to be mad at him or hate him. With Basilisk it was easy, but Wylan was just so dang good and pure! Why couldn't he just make life easy and be a jerk to her too?!
Marina gave a soft huff when Wylan suggested she might be happier with him in a healer's den, but ultimately he was leaving the choice in her paws. He was giving her the freedom to decide what she wanted for herself. It was more than anyone else had given her in a long, long time... Marina did have to admit that there was some appeal to not being confined to her small prison-like den, and she was sure there would be some comforts afforded to the heir of the Armada that only he had. "I don't think you'd like having me around," she admitted with a sullen voice, shooting a wry smirk up at him. "I'm not exactly Miss Sunshine, and you're just Mister Positivity all the time. I'd just bring you down."
When Wylan asked what the two things she desired were, Marina shot him an incredulous look. One of those two things should have been as plain as the nose on the end of his snout. "Freedom. The freedom that was stolen from me. And-" Marina drifted off, thinking of the medallion hanging around the fat neck of the alpha. Did she dare mention how important her mentagion was to Wylan too? She didn't think he'd be malicious enough to use it against her like Basilisk was, but what if he did to keep control over her? Maybe it would be better to play it down for now rather than let him in. "...nothing. There's nothing more important than my freedom." A lie, but a small one. Hopefully he wouldn't press the issue.
"Marina"

As her master, Basilisk may enter her threads unannounced.
