Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Asa is like a tiger shifter in the way he masterfully pounces on Caleb's insecurity. He's definitely strong enough to take Caleb on when Caleb is healed. When Asa says there is danger in the process, I believe he is worried for Caleb. Asa said to ignore the mating issue and focus on the healing. However, the mating bond is already affecting Caleb. Caleb is listening to Asa, feels safer, has rested, and his wolf is much more at ease. I know that Asa is mostly responsible, but think their mating bond is making it easier for Caleb to accept what Asa is saying. Caleb anxiety level is reduced. This is a much milder reaction than when he had to force himself to Sunday dinners at the ranch. Looking for the next dump of information. I honestly expected another mike drop at the end of the chapter.

Nice having perks for your job! Are you giving up the title Kbois gave you to your brother-in-law? 😱

Fight's on next! Weinerdog and I have ringside seats reserved for all the Krew. And of course,

You must have sneaked this in after @Mrsgnomie made her last edit @kbois. I'm starting the popcorn popper now!

I suppose you are all going to proclaim you are speed readers.

I really appreciate the idea of answers that lead to more questions. However, I'm quite curious about some things. Firstly, will Beckett ever come back to Earth after this? Secondly, what will happen to the bond between Beckett and Valrinda if he does return? Lastly, is there a connection between Valrinda and the almost-forgotten Colby? Great chapter @Cia

Hi Albert!

I think @kbois is saying No! I want more!

That too. I was thinking more along the lines of a big pile of Shi...re hobits. Sorry about the sticky period key. 😁

Those were not algebra equations you sent us! They were more like Trig puzzles to drive us crazy. 🤪

Not gonna help giving her a gold star when she expects a trophy!

No good choice Cane. I'd just before you get yourself in deeper trouble.

Hey Nick. I'd join you two for coffee, but I've already had too many cups today and it's near my bedtime.

I don't bow to you, you're too short for me to get that low. Optional top? No thanks.

A happy Tuesday to you, Green Man! You're right! It's time to take down the dictator of the Shire and Empire of Texas.

Hi Albert! Happy Tuesday morning to you and Steve.

But, but..,butt! you said we could call you a virgin or a bottom! I made my choice so deal with it BottomBoy!

Great new chapter! Gideon and Kavan are working together as they did before, but still have that rejection keeping them apart. Conte's probably the source of the blood Kavan drinks, but will it be enough to help Kavan? Like Centex, I also feel the necklace is important, but not sure how. Since the would-be assassin mentioned this: and the Perditaj said this: Maybe a visit with Raban Ko’lk will shed some light on the importance of the necklace.

Very well put, @Rkench. Both @Aditus and @Valkyrie are very talented and their work on this and other stories has created many great stories here. Gaps are inevitable even when posting a completed story as life can send stumbling blocks to anyone at any time. These stories are definitely worth the wait.

Yep! That's our author. Gary had me jumping down the rabbit hole in almost every chapter of Malaise. That includes the messages in even the chapter titles. BTW Jubal also means Ram's Horn. It was the ram's horn that was blown during the Hebrew celebration of Passover, their escape from Egypt. It is from that meaning we derived the word jubilee. Let's hope the end of the story we'll all be celebrating a Jubalee.

I agree with both Chris and Paul. There are many great stories on the list that I have read and a few I have added to my must-read list. Thanks again, Myr for providing this great resource for readers.

Watch out, Gary! When you tempt Drew with a spanking, he's going to volunteer to come north and play nursemaid again.

Only a slight objection Froggy. I would never call Drew a virgin, because that would be a Drewth (aka lie). That means I have permission from Drew to call him a bottom anytime I want.
