Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! And the Happiest of Holiday Seasons To You too! Such a gift. That was really worrying. I know Guards died but I was really worried for either Temu or Firuz. This is gonna make Jihan and Temu even closer now which, seeing Temu is the General assigned to Jihan, is a good thing. They were so lucky no harm came to Rashan or Jihan. Now, someone gonna get it. Someone gonna get it good. He prolly won't take it in that direction, but Kas is the Commander Of Armies and they are still technically in a State Of War so he has extended powers to hand...Just sayin'... Thank you so much again for this most unexpected surprise

I know, right? I thought that too. That was a gold piece he gave her. I loved how he made a mental note to organise some support for her. She don't need your support. She's supporting herself on your gold coin. Although I suppose he did buy 3x well-made cloaks. Not that I know the cost of a cloak... Psssttt...did you see? We also got an additional chapter!

I knew we were more than likely to receive a 'christmas' chapter, so this was expected and much appreciated. I must admit to frustration though. I've been waiting for the confrontation caused by Nisa and lead by Ferino. I want to see Firuz and Temu kick ass. Now we have to wait until next year. Lord Revi and Mau Keen are going to be trouble with a capital T. I can't wait for that confrontation too. I don't think they realise what they have just done. I think alot of people underestimate Jihan. Afterall, they indirectly threatened Rashan at the stall. Pay Backs are a what? Exactly! The Trade Station is going to be awesome for Silver Shore and its Peoples. Lilansui, thanks very much for putting up with your sometimes seemingly ungrateful and impatient readers. That is more an indication of our appreciation for your talent that any characteristic flaws we may have. Wishing You and Yours a Safe and Happy Holiday Season. Thank you.

I like that they are looking to utilise retired pros e.g. bus drivers, teachers, etc.

No way. They are Best Friends, they were laughing, etc. They are just Buddies ribbing each other. I am not even sure where the question came from? No. Not insensitive at all...I think anyway

In this instance, it has been awesome to get the local Police involved. They could be so beneficial in helping Brad achieve his goal/s with Sanctuary.

I love the Buses. 4 should be plenty. If everyone has won the Paint Sanctuary prize, how are they going to decide which 'option' to actually go with? I think they should have had an overall winner.

'...Just admit it and get on with business...' I love that attitude!

OMGoodness. Those three made me cry. It wasn't even a sad scene. They all get what they want and need now. Well, soonish... As for Lord Bol, what does this all mean for Vin? They cannot guarantee that Vin will win so what are they going to do about that? Just imagine when Vin finds out. He will be knocked for a six. I hope this does not mean that either Mace, Caleb or Dave will end up sacrificing themselves in the Final Battle, just to ensure the win for Vin, etc? Bol did keep mentioning them three being the protectors of Vin? Mace is his Mate, Caleb has a Mate and Cub, Dave needs a chance to get his bliss as well. It would be so hard to choose... Vin also needs help with his Shadow Training. Are we getting a new character to do this? I just remembered the other Shadow Mage on the rooftop that time when they went to meet Stefan. So many questions but getting all the answers means getting to the end of the story, which I defo don't want.

I love that Will ended up back with Connie. Will is only 17 in this story so he potentially has a LONG way to go, but I can't wait to meet his Mate. The Partner the Goddess created just for him. Be interesting as all get out to see what he looks like, acts like, his history, whether he comes from money (hope not), etc.

So glad he did right by Mother Jenkins. She will be over the moon about her salary. That is nearly 5x more than her previous job. Of course, that says as much about her previous job as it does about Brad. Brad, Bubba and Billy. Must say, loving these 'B' names

Everything is becoming even more real and serious now.

I already love Bubba and Mother Jenkins. So cool...

This is so heart-warming. Even more than your other stories. Not sure exactly why this one seems different/better even?

Well, can't wait for the next chapter after a build up like that. I kinda wished that the next battle stage would have been the hometown of a certain Congressman. We are going to have one hell of a battle on our hands next chapter me thinks. Welcome back. Hope all is okay with you. All the very Best for the Holiday Season!

OMFG! No way! That did not even occur to me. This whole time I was reading this chapter (twice) and this did not even register. I cannot believe it. Well, well, well. I am so surprised and so very happy. LOL! That 'revelation' really surprised me. So, there has always got to be one and the Congressman was it on this occasion. I love that Chris has guaranteed that the Congressman's political career is over. Can't wait until this Congressman meets one of the Horde. He'll do more than pee himself then. Victor and Chris both did awesome in coming up with their 'emergency' Valentine's gifts to each other. I would have been more than pleased with either

We need those Pods in a hurry please. Just imagine being able to have a shower and put on clean clothes. Everything else would obviously be great, but that is what would make me cry. Being able to do that.

Well, damn! I initially thought that the meeting with Stefan was rather benign. What does he mean being all almost reasonable even. What was he after when he went after Vinnie's Parents. It is even more annoying now that we know they died as a result of Stefan's bad (and misguided) mood!?!? That anger Vinnie was feeling must have been way mean if it bought their Enforcer to his knees. Was it Lord Bol that Vin saw when he was with Dave? I don't think so, but then if not, then who? If Lord Bol did not turn up due to Caleb's plea as he was '...already on the path to this place', then what the hell is he doing here? I know I mentioned it a long time ago now, but I really do think that what Stefan was after all those years ago (the thing) was actually Vin. Neither of them realise it yet though. Dying to know what it is, especially for the Gods to be involved. Would love to see Stefan's face right now if he could see what was going on. A God. As a Host. In Vin's body. Hella twist Buddy Bloody evil cliff hanger too Gonna be a good day today

Brad seems a tad 'gung ho' without enough planning, fore-thought, etc. Heart Of Gold. This with his 'Will Do' attitude is awesome though. Even his Parents.

Oh no. I worked for Travel Insurance, but with Covid no-one is travelling, so... My local travelling is for Family and Friends. Last week I went to Hamilton for 5 days (a 53rd, an early Christmas Party and a 3rd), Huntly for 4 days next week (which is Christmas) and Pawarenga for 4 days the week after (which is New Years). This is the first year I have been free to accept these invitations cause I have worked every Christmas and New Years. The Company I used to work for was 24/7. So enjoying this Holiday Season before deciding what I want to do, where I want to be, etc. I try really hard to wait to read your stories so I can do so on my Lappie/in comfort and Comment whilst everything is new and percolating. But I can never wait. Never. The anticipation is just too much. And if this is a 'bored whim', then long may you be bored and whimsical. Yeah. Just doesn't sound quite right does it

LOL. I did re-read what Stefan said. I just did again too. Although I am a Lay Person as opposed to a Diplomat or Lawyer for example. I can't see anything. A Book on Kap. That will be good to see the difference between older (but younger) Kap and future Kap. It will good because the Others will have to make guest appearances. Hope he finds a Mate either here or there. Dirk too. If I had to say, my fav is Caleb. Mainly because he is the Enforcer and because he is a Lion. He has an awesome Mate who herself I see as a power to be reckoned with. Then they have their wee bairn, who we have yet to know what Were he is. I like Cyrus' name, his giggles, the fact he is an Alpha, the fact he is a good Being, the fact he is Vegan, that he has the solid work he has done behind him and the fact he seems he could move from from woah to go in a split second if provoked. That last paragraph was very interesting. That could mean anything...

I forgot to mention in my last last Comment that I like that Vin has VinW to talk to. He now has "someone" that is 100% his. I know he has Mace hardcore, but Mace is Alpha so has his Pack, his Parents, etc. Although, I guess Vin does as well now. I had to re-read what Stefan agreed to in regards to their meeting. I can't see how he can twist his words so that he can do something and still claim that was speaking honestly. I'm not so sure he will tho. But why is he stringing Vin along? Why entice him with the locket, etc. What does he want? If it is what I eluded to in my last Comment, then how does he propose to "control" VinE? Kap's story seems really sad. I am glad that Cyrus dealt with it. He wants Kap as his Beta and I think it will be awesome for all concerned. Although it does seem really sad to split that Team up e.g. what will Dirk do? I would imagine he'd stay with his Alpha. Will Kap miss Dirk's snoring Now that Cyrus has dealt with Kap's past, so to speak, Kap could potentially blossom even more. He could possibly be an even better Beta. I finally believe Cyrus is a Goodie, more from your Comments than the story, which is way good. So, most immediately we have the Meetings between Vin and Stefan and Vin and the NY Team to look forward to. I wonder if Cyrus will be able to 'help' Vin in any way when they meet? Cyrus has been all over the world experiencing all types of Were's, hearing all types of Were Histories, etc. He may know something about the Entity Vin is turning into, etc.

I love how VinW talks. He is so frikkin cute and so obviously a Wolf. The good thing - he won't lose it either because MaceW talks almost the same. I don't think Cyrus is a baddie. He seems too happy and too nice. Love that a non-Wolf/Panda are head of the biggest Wolf Pack in North America. Apart from how cute VinW is, the thing that stuck out the most from this chapter is how Vin is developing so quickly? Maybe the final "entity" will be a one-of-a-kind, creature foretold in some long forgotten premonition and that is why Stefan targeted him and his Family when he was younger. Readers have really gotten behind you and this story hey @astone2292. So well deserved. I won't repeat their words, but I will agree with them 110%. nb: if I don't comment straight away I am usually away from home e.g. last week I was in Hamilton, if you release a chapter next week I will be in Huntly and the week after that I will be in Pawarenga. All because of the Holiday Season this time. I find it annoying to comment on stories using my mobile unless the comments are way short. Yours never are, which is why sometimes I am a tad late cause I wait till I get home so can use my lappie.

Did I not mention Lucas last comments. See, '...full on smackeroo of pure southern drawl...' I could listen to him all day and all night. He could just talk and I'd be in gagaland.

What a great start. Looking forward to see how this develops...
