..I am thinking that if Huntington thinks Tyler stole one of the pups it would be Cameron. The twins were already off his radar and with Corbin long before the boys started looking for the stolen pups. It is much more likely the "stolen" item is the laptop. He could be angry over the assassin Kage killed with cancer, but that cannot be returned. Tyler was targeted as Elijah had no other family to kidnap for leverage. Even were she to take an instant dislike to te twins, they are who the boys love, and momma will protect! I am not all that fond of my daughters significant other, but she is so...

I think I just gave the CSR @ my bank a heart attack. After banking here for more than 50 years, I got a notice that they would be changing my account from choice checking, free as long as I maintain a $5000 min balance in a linked savings, to 55+, that will incur a monthly service fee. I stopped into the bank in person to discuss the change and what other options were available. The woman was generally rude and condescending, and informed me I basically had no choice. I replied that yes I do, I will be closing both accounts and finding a bank willing to accommodate my needs. Please be prepared to supply a check for the full amount in savings before close of business tomorrow. I waited till she pulled up the account info. Her eyes got very wide when she saw the 6 figure amount, and my backside as I got up and walked out. I have already done the paperwork to move the auto deposit of my pension and his paycheck to the bank we have a money market account at. By this time next week I will have severed all ties. Go ahead! Tell me I have no choice! Rant over, I now return you to the regularly scheduled chatting.

I'm up!I'm up! Would not say I am bright eyed and bushy tailed but...

You obviously are not most people! Now, will I be able to pry my eyes open enough when it posts? I will not get home till after 2 am after an emergency run to the equine clinic. Why do horses pick after bedtime to colic?

Woohoo!

For some reason my mind is demanding Balsam ( like the Christmas trees) and vanilla. Maybe because I just bought my supply of candles for the holiday season! I settle for a peppermint lifesaver now.

Would advise to start with book 1 first.

With @kbois? More likely a trick!

I'm with @Daddydavek. Would have loved to be a fly on the galley wall! Nicely done sir.

Assumes facts not (yet) in evidence. None of the abducted pups have yet confirmed sexual abuse. The closest we have come is the discovery of the first pups body in what was known to be a porn studio. We were never given the details of said death. Perhaps now we will be able to get more info as to what this whole thing is all about. I still have that one word question from book 1 running in my head. Why? Why freeze the pups mid shift? Why only adolescent pups? Why are humans, who theoretically have no knowledge of the shifter world, buying the hybrids? Why why why...

Ok, now @kbois's comment makes sense. The one about Tyler being freaked out about his mates teeth. You are slipping a bit there dear author! We didn't know about Tyler's freak out when you said that! Now, on to see what the krewe has to say.

Ummm, if they are fated mates what would be the problem? I would assume Corbin would be turned by the mating bite. Problem solved. Now, assuming the twins are human enough for sexual play with the boys, could the cure be as simple as biting the boys, waiting for the turn to be complete, then being bitten themselves by the newly turned mates?

You are quite welcome.

Keep in mind the nose of a canine is integral with the upper lip and palate. If there is even a slight lengthening of the palate in a snout like fashion it would severely affect the ability to form words.

This brings up several questions. First of all, would you consider it beastiality if a human mates a wolf? If the human is turned, does that end said beastiality? While that may have been part of the original reason for trapping pups mid shift, (some perverts idea of an "easier to screw animal") no comment I have ever read equated a human falling for a shifter with beastiality. Yes, I know this creates a double standard, but the world is rife with double standards. Right. Even you could not be so cruel as to kill off a second love for E. Oops, I guess my vocabulary was showing for a moment! I agree, I don't see @kboistaking a second love from E in one book.

Of course! Just wanted to say my bit before being influenced by the comments.

The key words here are "so far". Things to remember, it took years and many lost pups before the scum figured out how to trap the youngsters mid shift. To expect a cure to be found within months would be polyannic. Now, one of the bigger questions raised by this little turn of events is just how cruel can @kboisget? To find one's mate, as well as his bestie's, and leave them in a state that essentially prohibits a HEA doesn't strike me as a terrific way to end this, but then I am not the author. With 7 chapters left a whole lot of manure can hit the air circulation device.

Well that was only half a surprise, that the twins are mates to the boys. I am assuming those howls heard 30 miles away were them announcing the mating pull to the world. Now, to read what the krew has to say...

Ummm, then wtf are they doing there at that hour?!? Right!!?! I routinely head out before dawn, get my barn chores done, do my banking on line or at ATM's and then end up sitting in some parking lot waiting for a store to open. Home Depot opens 6, Tractor Supply 8, and most other stores.9 or 10. I have had days I have waited for the opening bell as many as 4 times.

Oh that is easy. Fleece vest strapped to his collar, pool noodles attached with zip ties to the vest, and yarn hot glues to the noodle legs. I even got them to bend at the "knees" with a notch and some wire. Awww...you mean we can't sell THEM into human slavery??? But then who would buy pieces of crud like them?

But...but... Guess we need to wait till.senior year to find out who is behind express! Well done lady!

A lovely end to a fantastic story. Those spin off story's do need to include updates on our Alpa and Vinsy of course. How many pups, adoption or surrogacy, magic or none? Inquiring minds want to know! Well done sir! Now, off to read what the others have scribbled.

Just what have you been feeding that snake mister??? He looks like he swallowed a cow!

Would not the twins scent resemble both mom & dad? She is vanilla, he cinnamon, and the boys would be a combo of the two. That would also explain the lingering.

I'd rather be a smart a** than a dumb a**
