Hi, metajinx. I really like the different turn that you're giving this story since chapter one : about building a relationship first, making things work, depending on each other. Great dynamic between Jared and Darwin. Finally, our submissived friend realized his feelings for Jared are real. But, giving up the control of his life is going to be a tough test, after all it was what kept him alive all those years. By the way, who said that they have to follow every rule set for the others packs. As far as I'm concerned, they can make their own rules, keeping things balanced of course. Good luck with everything and see you soon.
