Darkness loomed, reaching up from the tree line, turning the sky to indigo. The full moon hadn’t made an appearance yet, but its impending rise sent anxious shivers through Jimmy’s soul. Never had he wished for eternal daylight. Damned early November sunsets. “It’s getting dark out. We should get ready,” Jimmy said. Sawyer’s exhale was loud and hollow. “Yeah. You’re probably right. Clock’s ticking.” Dormant grass crunched under bare feet as they circled the house. They’d spent mo

I wouldn't get too attached to that plan. LOL
-
All good questions. We'll have to see how it all pans out. (Disclaimer: I never said Jimmy was an Alpha.)
-
I'm glad making the mating bonds something substantial, no matter how ethereal, would establish a more solid connection between our boys. Makes the stakes that much higher.
-
I didn't know that. But that's an interesting detail...
-
A dozen chapters? That's ridiculous. I don't need more than one chapter per day. I'm calling it the "Dear Diary" chapters where Sawyer channels his inner 14 year old girl and ponders whether Jimmy likes him, or really, really likes him.
-
Thank you. It became clear to me that I needed some calmer moments after all the drama to balance things out before the full moon comes around. Gold and silver threads could also mean the difference between being pure-bred and turned lycanthropes. I honestly hadn't given it that much thought. LOL

Overcast skies hid the moon from view, but Sawyer could feel its allure. Every day the song became richer, a decadent vibration charging his soul, and calling to the wild thing growing inside him. He could only imagine how intense it would be at its brightest. Vibrant and alive, in the crisp November air, he was full of restless energy he’d taken out over and over on Jimmy’s seemingly limitless libido. His mate had not complained. Not even once. Mate. What a wonderful word. So much more

is it bad that this makes me feel really good to hear?
-
Hopefully Sawyer has given Jimmy the opportunity to realize who was truly at fault.
-
Thanks! I'm on board with the idea that all retail workers should be allowed one free kill each season to keep customers on their best behavior. They never know who's use theirs up yet.
-
I'm looking forward to getting to the full moon and seeing how Sawyer handles it. A lot of things hinge on his survival.
-
I would not be surprised that Jimmy need to punish himself kept him from going feral. As a wolf he might not be able to feel the pain, and he wasn't ready to give that up.
-
Grief turned Jimmy's guilt into something awful, and he couldn't see anything beyond his part. He's a bit more jaded these days, and more desperate to hold onto what he has.
-
I was pretty rung out when I realized I'd finished the chapter. We'll be back on track soon. I promise.
-
What? Now you're not rooting for a throuple?
-
Guilt is an ugly thing, and survivors guilt can be especially insidious. Hopefully Jimmy will start to realize that while he gave away secrets, Mitchell is the one who took it someplace he shouldn't have.
-
Thank you! The next chapter will be done in small doses to avoid the holiday craziness, See you on the 30th.
-
It was a difficult chapter to get out, but I feel better now than it's done.

Jimmy gasped, the wind punching out of his lungs. His wolf keened, a deafening whimper echoing in his skull. A thundering bass drum in the center of his chest shook his whole frame with its staccato beat. The air thinned and the floor didn’t feel level anymore. The room shrank. My fault they’re dead. He’d never said those words—thought them, yes oh god, how he’d thought them—but never out loud to another living soul. Dangerous syllables. Now the curse had been uttered, its profane sp

Fergus is definitely an alpha who's been groomed to believe he's in the upper echelon, but it so narcissistic, he can't see his own faults.
-
There's a lot to unpack here, and that's why I had to break the chapter. There's no way I could write the whole thing in one week and do it justice. The second half posts Wednesday as usual.
-
Sawyer may have learned to let the women in his life push him around, but the men... not so much. Maddie was good for something.
-
Maybe a bit of both... it's hard to be sure.
-
We'll learn more on Wednesday! See you then!
