OMG. You sometimes forget how different the world is don't you. Such simple things like not knowing what bunk beds are. As for a pool, with as many Boys as there are/as there are going to be it will need to be a big one. Then of course you'll need a big as Pool House. Having 30 some what wet Boys running through the House to get showered and changed afterwards may not so appreciated by Gram (Maria). Then, of course, you'll need an outdoor bar-b-que/kitchen area to g with the Pool and Pool House, etc... Luckily the property is as huge as it is

In your face R'gul!

So glad they finally decided they needed a truck or van for shopping, etc and that they went the wholesalers route. LOL. I guess your Farmers Markets have produce from actual Farmers so the prices are more economical. Where I'm from, it almost seems that any market with food can be called a Farmers Market or if you call it a Farmers Market that means you can up your prices. He is so lucky to have such a good and invested support network.

I have a new fav. His name starts with a 'V' and ends in 'asily'. What a sweetie. He's strong too. Considering what he has been through yet how he is on the flight. As for those %$#@*+ ^&&()-*=! Please let it be true about karma being a biarch!

Are you sure? For groceries I am a 'make-a-list-but-still-go-down-every-aisle-just-in-case-because-you-never-know- what-you're-gonna-find-or-that-you-may-have-forgotten' kind of shopper. Plus I am very picky with fresh fruit and veg so can be in that department for ages. Then again, I can only push one trolley at a time so will always need help with Trolley Pushers. LOL. My Father and I hated going shopping with each other. He was a know-what-you-need-then-straight-in-straight-out kind of shopper. Was like we only just got out of the car and we were hopping back in again. What a waste of time. Not even worth the effort. Luckily, we didn't go shopping together very often. Can you imagine the fun of grocery shopping for a Family of 33? Then when you get home you get to put them all away? That would be way awesome

Wow. I've had to play catch up. Don't read chapters for just over a day and look at the change in the story Triple the amount of Boys. I love shopping. Like, LOVE shopping. Even grocery shopping. I would LOVE to shop for this household whenever they need it. They definitely need to re-look at the House/property as a whole and how to make it suit their needs. It would be hard to believe he is going to go from 10 to 30 Boys and then just stop - no more Boys. Those Ambassadors sure will have to help with costs. If he was worried about Dogs before...

I think Kai's behaviour is natural. He broke up with his partner (a loss) and his Father just passed (another loss). You're either going to be clingy or push people away. I think Kiki has lucked out big time. Hell, I'd move in and be their Site Manager.

I don't think money is an issue they have in this story. He has a plane and a limo and a house that will have approx. 29 bedrooms. The 10 (I think it is) that they have for the Boys, the 16 they are getting for the Boys and the 3 rooms they have for the adults. Yes, I can imagine. That's why it would be perfect. He won't need a room in the House. Look at the size of the property. If they got a Great Dane puppy then eventually (when it grows up) Chris would get his wish for a Horse. See. A Great Dane would be a Twofer. Fine. I suppose any Dog is better than no Dog. Oh by the way Mr Lobe, we were talking about a Hangi in one of your other stories. I was on YouTube and saw this. Their hangi is slightly different in that I have never seen anyone heat the rocks the way they did, etc. Plus their version of the food is more a blend of traditional and modern? Yeah. Lets go with modern. NB: I don't like eels or huhu grubs. Also, if you do want to see the Hangi, it starts at 08:54. Hope you enjoy.

I think I have been a loyal follower of yours Mr Lobe. I have glossed over things like the number of Boys there are, which keeps changing, etc...but... No Great Danes?!?! How could you?!?! nb: if all readers could please imagine a 6ft 1in, slightly overweight (cough, cough) Maori with a "withering look on their face". Thank you.

I must admit, I did check the prev chapter to make sure myself Also, he said he went to check on the dogs. They have dogs? Introduction to the Dogs please.

So it was Matthew at the door. What a brave and thoughtful young man. I wonder who that person was at the meeting and what he has i.e. he knows of a boy that needs a home. he wants to do the same thing in his home, he wants to help with funds, etc? Thanks again for updating so often

'...there was a knock on my door.' That is the cliffhanger I was referring to i.e. who was it, what did they want, had something happened, if it had was it a good something, etc... Maybe it wasn't a cliffhanger. Maybe I'm just nosy. After all, I've never met a knocked on door I hadn't wanted to open yet. See you in the next chapter Mr Lobe.

C+C Music Factory. I used to love "Things That Make You Go Hmmm" Of course Freedom Williams was my favourite!

I must admit, I did think of just leaving "LOL" as my comment. Poor guy. Just wasn't his day. However, if he follows through on his instructions, he'll be golden from now on.

Man. I was really excited about those boxes. I thought it was going to be something spectacularly awesome that would benefit them all. And a cliffhanger?!?! Thank the Goddess that we get really quick updates from you. Most cliffhangers literally leave me hanging. Not a happy camper when that happens. Altho, I suppose it does give me something to look forward to.

Maybe? Only maybe? Fine. You win lotto one week then I'll win the next. You can build Salvation Home for yourself, Maria and the Boys and I'll build Sanctuary Kennels for Dogs next door. Then your lot can come and play with my lot. Solved.

We need puppies soon please. They would be so good for boys that have been through alot. At least three please. And I love the idea of a dormer with a balcony. Living in the attic reminds me of Cardiff. Good memories.

Thanks for scaring me with the title of the chapter. Of curse my imagination went on a roller coaster ride before and whilst I was reading it. Poor M'rell. Some people just aren't born or made to lead. Everyone has a part to play though. Poor D'gar. I would have hated that whole situation. Luckily, he was born or made to lead. So...

"It's the....for me" is a Tik Tok thing, or at least that's where I originally saw its regular usage. Its when you want to highlight the part (in a story, video, whatever) that made you laugh or stood out for you, etc. I thought that part was cute and that no-one anywhere would have believed him for a nano-second Glad all is good in your hood...

Its the 'They ganged up on me' for me

LOL. This made me laugh. There are things you want to say, but you want to at least try to appear to be reasonable and considerate. You think, 'Got to give him a chance to take a breath. We only just got this chapter.' Then someone comes along and says it like you really want to on the inside because you're just enjoying it so much. I think its only fair. You made us cry after all. For me it was at the end when Vinnie was on the ground and trying to psych himself up to complete his Membership. You know when you see someone struggling and you know they have to do it for themselves but you are dying to rush to their aid. Yeah. That. The Dance - it was very dramatic. Especially the opening up to where he revealed himself on stage. I would have screamed, laughed, howled, oohed and aahed along with them all in regards to the Lavender Cloud Ride. That would have been faf. Especially that nosedive towards the bonfire. My feet would have been tingling like mad the whole time. nb: I hate heights. The bottom of my feet tingle when I get high or see someone in a movie or whatever and they are high. It was lovely that Vinnie and Mace had a 'Couples Moment', but my abso fav part was the Finale. That would have been stunningly beautiful. It would have been so joyful and uplifting. What a setting the Pack Meeting Place is. The perfect backdrop. Love that Moor is a Tiger. I never would have thought she was a Tiger. Tigers don't seem sassy to me. Morr seems sassy. She would be powerful as too. I sort of perked up when Mace did the Traditional Blood Signs on Vinnie cause they weren't the 'normal' signs. With that and the kiss, the Pack had two hints before the actual announcement. Kip Richards had me worried for a nano-second. Even tho his intro was that he was a good Were, etc I still wondered if we were going to have a Human Hater on our hands. I love non-traditional Elders. I hope Elder Richards is in the story alot. He would be good for Vinnie. Just the last little thing that occurred to me, I can't believe Mace let his Mother and Old Doc Shaney assist Vinnie to a bench. Okay, so it is not as if they are feeble or anything, but still. Thank you so much. Who cares if I slept in and didn't go to the gym even though my post-Covid body really needs it. That was so satisfying. Do we have any idea how many Pack Members there are? Okay, so my chapter two will be out soon i.e. sorry this is so long.

Okay. It is 0125 in New Zealand and I need to get to sleep. I just couldn't not read this chapter right now. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Proper comment to come...

Well. At least we know for sure now who he is going to fall in love with. I wonder how he stops the Apocalypse or rather, how he stops his Mate from obliterating everything?

Ditto re the Russian Mafia. Was that a typo maybe?!?! If it wasn't, why would the Mafia even care? Are we missing something? Not that I obviously know about any Mafia group, what they do, why they do what they do, etc. I just thought, they are likely to require more "Family" (Staff), depending on how much bigger they get. Maria/Gram can't do everything on her own. Does she currently?

I can't wait to see The Boys and Maria's reactions to their new Brothers and Charges. I also can't wait to see the plans for the extension of the House. All that land. Could be huge as, especially if it is to be a Showpiece for their Cause, etc.
