Chapter 4 Jason felt a wave of nostalgia as he pulled into the driveway of his childhood home. He’d been asked to arrive as early as possible since his parents were having a few out of town guests over for a barbeque. Judging from the cars parked along the street and in the driveway, he was a little late. Reaching into his trunk for his bags, he looked up upon hearing the front door open. “Jason!” his little sister, Katrina, squealed, running down the steps to his side, and wrapping an a

Everything about this story pulls me in more and more. So many questions have come from this chapter. Where did Kellar learn he could heal? Where is he living now? (I assume far up in Northern Ontario) When did he realize the colours he sees represent what is essentially a person/animal's aura? Why is he bi-coloured? (Really cool addiction by the way) Why is Tobyn's pack sick? All of these questions are swirling in my mind as I try to come up with explanations, but I know I will have to wait patiently for the next chapters. Great chapter, Gary!

Jason's betrayal of Pierre did seem to hit Corey pretty hard and I do think a lot of that has to do with Corey's father. Corey had a crush on Jason, but more importantly, he thought they were friends and that he knew him. Time will tell whether or not Corey is able to be open and see that Jason isn't the 20 year old he once was. Thank you for your review and your support, Def.

Snicker.. Patrick has become such a tease! I have a feeling that Peter will get his revenge later, though It was sweet to see Patrick and Michael interact, and is making such an effort to be able to communicate with the little boy. Michael needs all of the loving support he can get when he goes through his treatments. Such a lovely chapter, Tim

Hey, they were awesome dragon tattoos! (and I can see you cackling maniacally reading the story discussion now )

Congratulations, Cole!

I'm very happy for Kellar in this chapter. He's leaving on his own terms and not with his tail tucked between his legs (so to speak). I think the fact that he as able to confront his previous tormentor and come out on top... even having some sympathy for the prick.. would be a real boost of confidence for Kellar. He learned that he is strong and he can survive on his own.. away from people who only pretended to care about it. Great chapter, Gary! I can't wait to see where Kellar's travels take him.

It can be hard to find out that your heroes are human. Whether or not Corey is able to get past Jason's transgression and rebuild some form of relationship with him again will be interesting.

No, Corey is NOT in a forgiving mood. I think being around his mom again reinforces his feelings about infidelity. lol Sasha's title certainly does fit. lol Perri is happy now and his construction worker (you should see the man I see in my head as David ) is a sweetheart, and Liz is a great match for Drew. Those two did well for themselves. Thank you for your review and your support, Drew.

I'm happy you're enjoying the story so far. It can be very hard for someone to be allowed to grow past their own past (at least in some peoples' eyes). It's going to be an interesting reunion.

lol Who knows... maybe you're clairvoyant? Since they both live in the same city now, you might be on to something

Corey is extremely protective of those he loves and if he feels like someone is trying to take advantage, he comes out swinging to protect them. There is also the added issue of Corey feeling like Jason, as a friend, also duped him. That can be tough to get over. Jason has done a lot of maturing in the last 8 years. The mistakes of your past shouldn't define us for the rest of our lives, if we've changed, but unfortunately it happens every day. Thank you for your review and your support, Puppi.

I think Pierre and Drew are a lot alike too. They're both very good men. Pierre is a romantic at heart and has been searching for 'the one' for years. Drew has been enjoying his freedom and 'no strings' life, but when these men commit to someone... they do it wholeheartedly. It can be tough to make the choice to be alone, and I think Drew is a lot like his mother, which he may not even see. Do any of us like to admit we share a trait we dislike in someone else? I think Jason has grown more than Corey too, but I believe there is a capacity for change and growth in everyone. The question is what spurs on that change in someone? Thank you for your review and your support, Dr.P.

I agree with you completely. Jason has been, and is still hurt. He has changed, but sometimes people can't see around your past to the person you've become. it's not fair, but it happens all of the time. I think Jason was changing before, but catching his boyfriend being blown, and having Luc say what he did when he was caught, seems to have drilled those changes home for him. At the very least it allowed him to see what his behaviour felt like from the other side. Thank you for another excellent review, and your constant support my friend.

I agree, there is a difference between a young, stupid guy and an older married man, but nothing changes unless the person wants to change. The bachelor party happened on the Friday night because everyone came in either on Thursday or Friday. Hopefully Drew can clean up well for the ceremony. lol Thank you for your review and your support, Tim.

I get Corey's reaction, but people are capable of change. The problem is that trust may never be rebuilt, no matter how much people can change. The question is whether or not Jason can rebuild the trust he damaged all of those years ago. Thank you for your review and your support, jaysalmn.

lol I promise the next chapter will be posted next Wednesday. Letting go of hatred and bitterness is usually a good idea, but it can be easier said than done. Thank you for your review and your support, B.

Bitterness can, and does, affect future relationships. I know it's affected how Corey views relationships. Will they meet again after the wedding? Well they do live in the same town now. lol Thank you for your review and your support, Robert.

Hmm I don't know what I really think about Eric telling Nelson about Trevor's crush. I'm not sure what good telling Nelson would do, but ultimately Eric was betraying anyone's trust. it's not like Trevor told Eric, or any of Nelson's friends, so the observation is just conjecture on their part. I'm glad that Eric decided to run for GSA President, but I think he should stick to his guns and not make the decision because everyone expects him to do it. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens at the prom

Chapter 3 Corey watched the highway signs pass by as he approached his hometown. The day had been bright and sunny… perfect for an afternoon road trip. Even with the beautiful surroundings, Corey felt uneasy. It was a familiar feeling every time he returned. During each visit there was a risk of seeing his father, and that was something he wanted to avoid at all costs. Truthfully, he wouldn’t care if he never saw the man again. Pulling up to his hotel, he made himself relax. This wee

I do love it when a prankster has a prank backfire on them Linda playing along, just to get Jay was the icing on the cake. haha. I know Mikey is worried about his parents finding out about him and Jay, and he may have good reason to worry, but I still have hope for Mikey's dad. I think the man suspects something, and although he has been distant in the past, I get the impression he wants to rectify that. Miles' mother might be a wild card, but I would hope she would ultimately accept him (maybe Jays' parents could talk to them?)

Finally have some of my reading done! I have to say, I'm happy with the speed that Denny and Greg are moving in their physical relationship. It's true that teenage boys can be hormone driven creatures, but Greg is showing wonderful maturity by allowing Denny to set the pace. Jay and Miles together never fail to make me smile. Jay was being a bit of a brat with those shorts, but Mikey's confidence needs some boosting.. and having your boyfriend ogle your legs in shorts is a good way to do that

The morning with Michael was so sweet! That kid is adorable. I love how well he's taken to Patrick being his stepdad. Even with the language barrier they still seem to find a way to get their feelings across to each other. Patrick's family sounds... interesting? I can understand why neither of his parents would want to be around them.. especially his father. It can be hard to be around anyone who doesn't like or support someone you love. Hopefully some of the cousins turn out to be better, more supportive people, than their parents.

I'm very impressed. You've managed to take a very popular story subject, shifters, and put a unique spin on it. Kellar is an orphan and doesn't remember his parents, who apparently died very mysteriously, he's figured out how to shift from wolf to human and back again, all on his own... and like a typical teenager the 'how cool is that?' factor tempers some of his fear of the unknown. I also enjoyed reading about how he processed his new sight, hearing and sense of smell. I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens when Kelllar meets another shifter. He's going to have a lot of questions. One question.. is Kellar's wolf separate from him? I get the impression they are two distinct personalities inside of one body... when Kellar is a wolf is his human personality in the background, like a passenger in a car? Great job on this chapter, Gary!

Thank you! I hope I can keep you interested enough to stick around. Thank you for your review and your support.
