Um, no. That was not intended to give you ideas! I am seriously going to have to watch what I type in my responses. sigh!

I absolutely hate auto-correct (word prediction - same thing?). So, we have to wait for the next chapter for the introduction of the final part of the bonding? Unless, of course, King Lachlan provides for an interruption... I strongly suspect that @mastershakeme has something like that in mind!

Yeah. I just don't see that happening with Lachlan. He has a plan, we just don't know what it might be.

I'm hooked, Laura. Interesting start to this story. I'm kind of excited to see how you build this world of humans and shifters!

I suspect that companies are all over the map in how they treat employees and their medical issues. Since the ICU room was bare, I could only think that Raffa had been moved. Need to find a nurse! It was nice to see that Gray's family took to Chase and that there was no drama there.

All we know is that the ship Marc found and the one Uncle Fran had were of a higher tech than the Family had. Evidence of how Uncle Fran had to reverse-engineer some items and outfitted Marc's ship with it. Now it seems that Marc may have stumbled upon a construction site for more of these mysterious ships. Let's not mention that Marc is fit to be tied that Adam (via Grandma) didn't stay safe where Marc put him. Bringing Adam into the combat zone may or may not work out.

Somehow, I don't think this is an idle threat. Lucas is at his rope's end. I wonder, what's up with Alex?

One thing is sure... Gemma and Lachlan still have a bond. Lachlan can't mate with anyone else!

Can we say that if it hadn't been for Amelia's actions, this could have taken a (slightly?) different course? Yes, it certainly didn't help that Adam backed his mother's play. Adam has much to learn. But then again, so does Marc.

I'm having a hard time believing that there haven't been PTSD counselors used for such things as the combat stress Marc (and Caitlin) is going through.

Hmm, Desmond is an acolyte to their god. I don't think he would be able to give that up. Not even for the Crown. Can Lachlan be so stupid as to not see this? The only other alternative is to get the Queen preggers, again.

Gray needs to find Mike and explain to him what he has told the police.

Wouldn't that fall under the verboten mind control?

We find out that Rory is descended from a Fae Prince. If Lachlan discovers that Rory is Fae... It will not turn out well for Rory. Also, from the way Lachlan talks about Rory being just a tool that will be disposed of, once it is used, I suspect that Lachlan feels the same about Kieran. He is only a tool, to be used and discarded. For a 'Traditionalist', Lachlan won't give up his power. In other news, that had to be the best handjob Rory ever had! Sounds like it was pretty good for Kieran, too.

I suppose you could equate it with "Term Limits."

Someone please correct me, if I'm wrong. IIRC, two months after the Prince bonds, he is supposed to take the Throne. Except this particular bonding is male-to-male. Something not seen before, and certainly no chance of offspring. That would end the line of succession. Lachlan, the King, is attempting to train Rory just enough to send him to the front where Lachlan hopes he will be killed, thus breaking the bond. Lachlan then hopes that his son will procreate with the woman who is "engaged" to Kieran, and save the bloodline. However, Rory went into battle with his Prince and helped not just to save the Prince's life but helped greatly to defeat their enemy. Rory's magic is wild and has tremendous power. Lachlan will know of this and see his plans falling apart. At this point, Lachlan will not give up the Throne until the magical bond between Rory and Kieran has broken and Keiran can have sex with someone other than Rory. i.e. the supposed woman he is publically engaged with, to prevent the populace from knowing about the same-sex bond. Incidentally, this saves the bloodline.

I'd sure like to know if this is Jeremy actually changing. It would be nice, but I have my doubts. Then there's Thor. He really needs to get his shiest together. I don't see much of a future between Will and Travis. With Travis being in the closet, Will has done this before and we all know how that worked out. Yup!

I'm sure what Rory did on the battlefield will be told to Lachlan, he will be pissed that Rory wasn't killed. That is Lachlan's plan. Gads, I hope Rory gets trained better and learns to control his (fae) magic! In other news, I hope that BJ helps to heal Kieran...🤣🤣😂

Sometimes we wish we were... But that is what our hands are for!😂😂😂

Not at this time, Bill.

One of the reasons that I enjoy reading stories by Mark, is that he writes in a manner that I become involved with the story and characters. This, to me, is the sign of a good wordsmith. Will Raffa pull through? Will Animal get his just desserts? There are many questions that I have and I guess only time (and more chapters) will tell. The sad part is that we all sorta knew Animal was gonna do something. I didn't think it was gonna be this bad.

I am! LOL!!!

It was said that once the bond was made, he wouldn't be able to have sex with anyone else but his bondmate. Here we see it in action! Six chapters and all we get is frotting? I'm highly disappointed, @mastershakeme.

OH, to be sure, I am not shocked at all! I was simply making one of my many observations. I don't know if you've read The Kandric Saga, but I edit for Kyle Aarons. I'm quite used to complex characters. Good and Evil are, after all, two sides of the same coin!

It sounds more like Oeus has taken hold of Kieron's soul. Perhaps from the start, when he found out that he didn't have a princess in waiting. The dude really is full of himself!
