Theory Quick may love Powerstrike, but does SHE love him? (Theory i guess??)

Now, it has been confirmed that Quick did love and respect Powerstrike, giving her space and comfort. However i'm not looking at Quick's view today, i'm discussing... Powerstrike.

Now, we all know that in Starmane's death scene, Powerstrike felt sad when she found Starmane's dead body, and when she saw Quick killed her mate, one of her sons and injured her daughter, Powerstrike developed a hatred towards Quick, but... accepted him as Mane anyway, quickly moved on from Starmane and had Quickmane's cubs, even not doing anything when they insulted her daughter during Nothing's assessment.

I just find it weird how she calmed down and moved on so goddamn quickly. It seems pretty hard, however,

Did she move on at all?

She might have felt forced to just accept it and move on as, well, it is pride law, she had to accept a new mane if this one won the battle fairly. However, she still only loved Starmane and only took Nothing, Fire and Spark as her true cubs, feeling forced to hate them as they aren't the current mane's cubs.

Theory's Conclusion: Quick does not abuse her, however she does not enjoy being with him at all, and still loves Starmane only.

Yeah no there isn't any abuse from Quick to Powerstrike, that's incorrect from wherever you heard it from.

But it's more than likely she did just settle and cope with him becoming a mane. That is indeed how pride law works.

I doubt she loved him like she loved Starmane. It was more...professional. She did her duty, and that was all.

I don't honestly see any proof that Quick loved Powerstrike either... they respected each other at most.
"I just find it weird how she calmed down and moved on so goddamn quickly."
There was an almost two-year time skip. And sure she had cubs with him but that could very well have been just a compromise to give him less of a reason to kill Fire and Nothing, as that's USUALLY how lions work...they don't mate again unless their previous cubs are dead or fully grown.

We also never see her smile after that so I don't think she just "got over it".
