Thank you for the wonderful compliment, Wenmale. As I've said before, Dorian officially died in the original version of the story. If it hadn't been for world events and even me needing something to feel happy about, he would have remained a fallen hero of the story.

I'll take your word for that, and if true, I'm humbled by it. Thank you Carlos and everyone.

I'm tired, but can't slow down, Foolishly I thought I could rest. Even joked I'd get called. It's been one after another; Everything is burning. Seems the whole coast is on fire. All of us need rest, sleep. Exhaustion is my companion, But it won't slip me up. I’ll be ready for the next call, And no matter how long, We'll keep fighting these damn fires. I'm tired and need to sleep, Because I’m running on empty.

Thank you, bjorde. Like I've said before, Dorian was dead as far as I was concerned, until I decided current times deserved a happy ending. It was fun though to make my readers wait to find out he was alive. 😈

Really enjoyed this chapter. Brought back memories of a private party at WP24. Their food is truly incredible.

I really enjoyed this when you asked me to beta read it. Relaxing and reading it again today was just as much fun. Like all the stories of yours I've read, this one is wonderful. The fact it's a shifter story make it all the more fun for me.

Your sense of humor is always razor sharp, my friend. ❤️

Thank you, Smoothy. Getting to share my imagination with my readers on GA brings me a lot of joy.

Thank you, Peter. I almost flipped a coin to decide if I was going to post this last chapter, but decided between the work I'd done and my editors it was going to join the story. It's fun working with what I've already set for Ethan's gifts. Predictable or not, Dorian got a happy ending and will hopefully live a long life with his mate and new alpha.

Thank you, Quixo. I'm glad I did too.

Thank you, Dez. I'll see you again on Mondays when the next book is finished and released.

Thank you, Gee. Actually Dorian did leave her a farewell message. He said goodbye to her in his video to the pack and his family. I'd had to think of Ethan's reaction if one of his nieces or nephews were kidnapped. Elemental on the war path. lol.

Thank you, Mike. The support you show is greatly appreciated. I've got a new book in the works. If my characters behave, it will hopefully be headed to editing in the near future.

Thank you you for always being so supportive, Chris. I know many readers were hoping Ethan would revive a dead Dorian at the funeral. I actually quite liked that idea, even though it's well beyond any gifts I've already given Ethan. For something that was an afterthought, this made for a better ending.
