Yes, Vivian is cruel and selfish, but this is often considered in terms of her being a human - not a werewolf. If we're to focus on the "wolf" part of her nature, her behavior isn't at all surprising. I'd actually be willing to say that it's probably one of the more honest depictions of a female werewolf as opposed to "a girl who can transform into a wolf". I might also note that she was never human - she was born that way. That said, she is flawed and throughout the book continues to wrestle with herself. She goes after the human boy Aiden because it's something she wants. It's a challenge. While I also find the ending a bit jarring, the one she ends up with proves to be an antidote. It could be argued that he was chosen out of convenience, yet I disagree. Throughout the novel Vivian insists that she doesn't want him, disobeys him even because he is discouraging her to end her relationship with Aiden. In the end, what she wants nearly kills her, and he proves to be not what she wants, but what she needs.
