LOL! That is so funny! Sometimes when I'm reading I end up wanting whatever the characters are eating, especially creamy, soft scrambled eggs. Thanks for reading, Gary, and I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

The strands of the story are starting to come together, but more and more questions are coming out than being answered. More will come soon then!

Far, far reaching borders, and Park has/had issues after the loss of his brother. He was absent more than not, doing his duty to help protect the streak by patrolling, but he avoided a lot of people.

Thanks, Lux! It's a challenge to stay in the word count and not have 'filler' chapters where things lag. Glad I'm achieving success so far!

Hopefully he'll stay under control, and the stray won't bring trouble.

Genetics... it's a lot of genetics on both questions you have. It'll definitely be interesting when we see Park's human werekin finally.

I can't say anything about dissent in the ranks, but I did want to keep this believable. When the characters automatically "know" enough to figure out all the plot elements, it drives me crazy. They need the help, so they're going to have to reach out, even if it is dangerous. Thanks for your thoughts, Lux, I love hearing such in-depth thoughts!

Mebbe. Can't say more without spoiling.

“Let me find out what he knows,” Park said. “He’ll talk to me.” “Is he a danger?” That was the biggest worry I had. I didn’t like this stranger showing up right after I found Kraig again. “I won’t tolerate any risk to the streak.” “I don’t think so, but I’ll watch him closely.” “Come over when you know more. I’m sure Kraig would like to spend more time with you. Tomorrow, though.” I was reining in my instincts as much as possible, but I chafed at the responsibilities taking me away from Kraig

“Come on, Kraig. It’s me, Deke. You know me. You blooded me just a few hours ago, remember? Listen to my voice. Feel me. All you have to do is take my hand. That’s it. I’ll help you with the rest.” I stuck my arm under the bed and then pulled back hastily when Kraig hissed. My mistake. He wasn’t ready yet. “Do you remember that time when we were about ten? Well, Park and I were ten. You were still single digits and tiny as can be. Park and I were playing keep away, and you got so mad. That thro

Glad we can help!!

It's July! Who's staring out the window to the outside world full of blistering sun or frozen wasteland? Most of us, I think! So why don't you occupy yourself and enjoy The Window Washer by Zenith. This contemporary story has the power to take you out of your world and into theirs to enjoy Jerome and Rob's story. The Window Washer by Zenith Length: 40,043 Description: Jerome, a bored accountant, and Rob, a window washer, meet under surprising circumstances. A Reader Said: It makes me happy to have a happy hopeful story wrap up like you did here. I'm sorry that I didn't leave more reviews along the way; I just dove in to the next chapter..........Thanks for sharing, I;m glad to have found your work :)Mike ~ Flamingo136 This month's Discussion day will take place on Monday, July, 25th!

I cut off soda about 3 months ago, though I've had a few (usually root beer) since then. I'm okay with cold "coffee drinks", though I cut them with a lot of milk because they're so sweet. If I really want caffeine I usually go for tea. I brew my own loose leaf tea, though, so it's generally a lot healthier than any other caffeine drink.

I think Deke's attempt at levity was almost a 'laugh or cry' response. There are definitely a lot of challenges to come!

Highs and lows definitely come with the territory, but Deke and Kraig have to just keep talking.

Trauma can't be magicked away with love, but I'm sure Deke wishes it could be!

*nods* The bond might not be a problem, but they certainly have enough other ones to face.

Kraig broke the kiss and gasped for air, his chest moving like bellows. He whimpered, running his hands over my body. I rubbed his side gently, the ripples of his ribs reminding me of how much he’d been through. I didn’t want him to wear out before we got to the good part. Eager to combine our scents and claim him again, I pushed one hand between us and circled our shafts, pressing them together. Kraig cried out and pushed forward into my grip. He buried his face against my neck and shoulder, r

Happy Birthday, W_L!

Happy Birthday!!

Thank you! That's everything I need.

I hate it with non-communication is the conflict in the story so I didn't feel like that was needed for Kraig and Deke. Thanks for reading, Valkyrie!

LOL! When have I ever made it easy on my characters? Thanks for reading, Puppilull.

Thank you!! It's hard with the 1k chapter, but there are always more each week because 1k is easy to do even when life is busy. I appreciate the review!

I'm glad you agree with their talk being necessary. That theme in fiction drives me CRAZY!! Misunderstandings can crop up (like this one) but I don't like the "big issue" to be the fact the characters don't talk to each other. Besides, there are other issues they're facing that are way bigger that will work far better than stupidly not telling each other how they feel.
