Final chapter tomorrow Gotta have our Happy Ever After. Or do we

If the thought occours to him. I think he's more grateful that he's not the next:

Gotta go get his man back.

29 The idling diesel engine of Marty’s heavy-duty pickup truck rumbled with a low, steady vibration that did absolutely nothing to soothe the frayed nerves of the passengers sitting in the cab and the covered truck bed. Parked in the deep, ink-black shadows of an abandoned industrial warehouse directly across the street from the primary Aethelgard Omnicare facility, the truck served as the designated triage center for the Oak Creek werewolf pack. It was also currently the most

me too!!!! I need a new Jeep!

Andrew has pulled the trigger on Merrick, now the poison needs time to do it's work. The third time is, indeed, easier.

I spy with my little eye, a little spy in my eye. Good morning (sorry I am late today, bad night sleep)

The night was bitterly cold and crystalline clear, the kind of absolute, unforgiving December darkness that seemed to actively swallow ambient sound and stretch every shadow into a jagged, looming threat. Andrew Highmore stood perfectly still at the perimeter edge of the sprawling Merrick estate, hidden deep within the skeletal, frost-hardened trees that lined the reinforced wrought-iron fencing. He watched the massive stone house through a pair of high-resolution, military-grade night-vision go

he stole Declan's purity ring with the same trick

Yeah, my grand strategy fell apart when *they* didn't participate... hahahaha... ahh well, next time Gadget.

I just finished this one. Thirty Chapters in total, so two more to go.

Andy loves Lucas, he puts up with all the immense amounts of chaos, swagger, and utter lack of shame. And he keeps coming back for more.

What? He did warn Esca.

28 Consciousness did not return to Andy Tyrell with the gentle, creeping awareness of a mortal waking from a deep sleep. It clawed its way back into his ancient mind through a suffocating, unnatural darkness, bringing with it a rising tide of absolute, agonizing, chemical fire. For an immortal predator of his age, physical pain was a profound rarity. His necrotic biology was designed by nature and dark magic to endure almost any trauma, to heal severed tissue instantly, and to

Thanks JJ, always appreciate your input/reads. I am cleaning up some of the books at some point. Need to sweep through some of the older books to deal with consistency errors.

most over here have become emergency first aid stations, defibrillators med kits and the like.

In the current books (Carter's Order-Run-Throne, and the final one: Campaign) Will becomes President of the United States, there's a war, it's a whole thing. Peter gets to shoot a bad guy... for a change. (he's smug about that one) they run from 2019-2024. This is twenty years before all of that... the book series, in total, runs from Carters Army: 1995 (Will is 16, Andrew is 17) Vanguard: 1996 (Peter's introduction he is 12) Carter's Shadow: 2001 (Peter is 17) Duty: 2001 (two weeks after Shadow) Carter's Echo: 2001 (two weeks after duty) Asset: 2002 War: 2003 Fortress: 2004 Recourse: 2005 Line *the new one being written* : 2005 (six months after recourse)(Will and Andrew finally get married) Breach: 2015 (Will is the High Commissioner to the UK)(Jacob Carter's introduction, he is 7) Order: 2019 (will is Foreign Minister for Canada) (Jacob is 11, Tommy is introduced, also 11) Run: 2019 (directly after Order, Will is Prime Minister of Canada) (Tommy becomes Will and Andrew's Foster son) Throne: 2019 (directly after Run, Will is a War time Prime Minister) Campaign: 2023-2024 (Will is Governor of the annexed 51st State, and runs for President) (Tommy Carter is adopted officially)

2002, the book is set in 2002

I've said it before. I wanted to show that even the soft looking boys, the boys that were picked on and dismissed as being too weak, effeminate, or girly can be hard as nails. Peter is not a victim, he refuses to be one. From the very first scene he was written (Carter's Shadow, where he and West met (His character and personality wasn't really set in Vanguard as he was only 12)) he's been combative, fight first. Rage as a default. Zero fear, zero apology, just explosive handle with care. Easily one of the most fun characters I write. His dynamic with West is amusing to me. He's petty, selfish, judgemental,mercurial, and demanding... and loyal, caring, charming and empathetic. The one who keeps everyone else grounded. Be they Presidents, Super spies, Soldiers, Admirals, Olympians, doofus Prince Charming... he's the one who keeps them fed, makes them go to bed, and disciplines Jacob and Tommy.

one of the first chapters written for this book. When the plot was a little different, this chapter was combined originally with the first rescue of the camp, but I split it up. And I liked high Jason, and Peter has never done Damsel in distress very well. He's never been a passive character, he's far too... active for that.

The Flumazenil burned through Peter McCormick’s veins like a chemical wildfire. Every single nerve ending in his body was screaming in raw, unadulterated protest. The rapid, violent stripping of the sedative from his brain receptors had thrown his central nervous system into absolute chaos. Nausea twisted his stomach into tight, agonizing knots. A blinding, percussive headache hammered behind his eyes in time with his racing pulse. The harsh fluorescent lights of the examination room felt

Esca was baiting a trap for Lucas. Taking Andy provoked Lucas straight into his trap.

I don't think he is actually afraid of the Werewolves... Lucas however... I think Esca views Andy as his property, a favourite toy of his he can't get rid of... like a kid's teddy bear that he has sitting on his shelf well into his adult years. Esca is, at the end of the day, a narcissist
