    In Chris' case, his victims are across the country so not likely to see them again, but that's not to say he doesn't want to reach out to them if possible. i kind of wondered if anyone would consider that. Of course, she had no idea what he was really like and was just the son of the Alpha that knew how to pull off the good boy act. Messed up is an understatement for Michael. That kind of made him fun to write as well as difficult and now expanding on things he did with Chris as his side. Thanks Chris.

    I'm sure he's like that hug Thank you Avid It's easy to get caught in one of those circles and equally as difficult to get out
  3. Journal entry 11: I’ve kind of held off writing more about my past experiences at Parker Valley since my breakdown. It’s been three weeks of learning to live with it. While I’m feeling better, a part of me is scared of getting too close to some things I still haven’t told anyone. I know I’ll eventually get to them or at least I hope I do. I’m trying to get back into this since there’s so much I need to come to terms with. About the only way I don’t evade questions from Doc is by writ

    Speaking from experience, it's sometimes difficult not to push to change when you see things wrong that you want to fix. You're right though, it takes time. Kyle is around Chris more than any other pack member with the possible exception of the second escort that was mentioned. Thanks as always Centex Kyle knew his brother would be able to answer the questions that Chris was asking himself.

    Growth and acceptance of change, plus getting to enjoy himself a little. Thank you Jeff He's opening is mind more and more to opinions that aren't dictated to him by someone else. He is also seeing what the beginnings of friendship might actually look like. Kyle listened to what Chris had to say and without judging him, showed him something new.
  6. It's great to see Bailey and Declan interacting in a positive way finally. Awesome chapter and wonderful book so far. So... Next chapter should be posted in about five minute, right? I know, be patient (looks at clock).
  7. Journal entry 10: Today was a good day at school. I got into a debate with my economics professor about spending and profit vs. environmental interests in business. Just for the sake of debate, he took the view that profit will almost always take precedent with companies since it’s cheaper to make a dollar at the expense of the environment. He then challenged the class to come up with opposing arguments. I agreed with him in principle. But countered that companies can find a type of

    Thank you Mike Hey GMD. It's possible, but so far Chris hasn't said one way or the other. The escalation was quick and from the stand point of the journal he was having those thoughts after writing the entry just prior to going to his session with the therapist and actually talking about what he just wrote. Definitely not Hemingway and it shares uncomfortable things that might not get brought up in face to face sessions as quickly. Very well put. Thank you Centex The pack has been good to him, sitting with him to know he isn't alone and being there for him.

    Thanks Jeff My hints could probably have gone several ways. It was the best analogy I could come up with. Thank you Avid. Once you hit the bottom, once you stop digging yourself deeper, up is the only place to go from there. He sure did, Lux Thank you Blind I can say from personal experience that your statement is true. I wasn't sure how the journal would work out either. It sounded good as I wrote it and it let me develop someone that was just filler in the first book.

    Thanks Centex. He does have the support of his therapist, so that is a start. Thanks Mike. Thanks Chris. Thank you hohochan. Perhaps pity instead of sympathy. Chris did some things that inexcusable and hurt a lot of people along the way. The fact that he is actually addressing what he's done and trying to find some resolution is a start in the right direction, just like possibly writing letters to his victims which could either help or hurt their own recovery.

    Chris is definitely remorseful for his actions. The more that comes out, the more he admits to means the more he has to deal with. Chris is talking about more of what he and Michael had done than came up just going after Ethan. That was kind of the tip of the iceberg and the final straw. Thank you Avid. Thank you Jeff. It's a lot for him to get out i writing and that is just to begin the process for his sessions with the therapist.

    Thanks Centex. While he is in a new place and starting college, that gives him something to focus on and something that is somewhat familiar with doing school work. Thanks hohochan. Chris is 19 while this is going on. He is finally thinking for himself and learning to be himself.

    It can be hard, but necessary for him to begin moving forward I agree. For him to make a fresh start, he has to address his past or risk ending up in that mental prison.

    Thanks Centex. I've been having fun develop Chris It's something I use to do occasionally when I use to see a therapist. It made her cringe every time I used the term shrink until i promised not to do it anymore.

    I don't know how I missed this Lux and I'm sorry I did. Thank you for this. Thank you Centex. Good to see you back.
  16. Journal entry 6: A lot more came out during my session than I was ready for. Doc had me taken to the medical center and placed on suicide watch as a precaution. I’d told her I deserved to die. Saying I had thoughts of killing myself for what I planned on doing to Ethan and what I’d done to others didn’t help matters. She immediately called for help when I dropped to the floor crying and tried to get my claw to form to slice my wrist. I don’t know if this was a cry for help, or if I w
  17. Journal entry 5: I was so full of myself. Constantly thinking how great I was. How my best friend was going to make me someone powerful within the pack. Turns out I let myself get blinded by all that. I didn’t learn in time what it truly meant to be a leader. It took being told I’d likely be executed for me to open my eyes. Apparently, I was only ever a follower, and I ended up following Michael right off a cliff. I wasn’t just blinded by what he told me. My own ego was just as big o

    Journal 4

    I hadn't thought of it that way while I was writing, but I agree with you. I kind of saw it as these were things he had done when he was at Parker Valley, so he kept asking himself 'why did I do that'. I always like the questions you ask since it makes me think about things I miss and helps me try to improve my writing.

    Journal 4

    Thanks Blind. I don't think he had any romantic feelings for Michael; misplayed loyalty is more like it and admiration of things he saw in Michael. Thank you Jeff. I was nervous when I posted the first chapter since this is a different writing style for me and following on the popularity of book 1. Because of you and everyone else, I'm feeling more at ease that this works. Avid, thank you as always. This starts about two weeks after Chris and Michael were exiled, so it's mid summer in the RWTP timeline. Being on his own, without the influence of people like Michael, he is having to think for himself and realizing he hadn't been doing that for a long time.

    Thank you Chris Thanks JayT. I'm going to stick with "No Comment" Thank you Lux. I'm not sure if I'd say he's having a quick evolution. More that he is questioning everything he believed. It could be considered the same thing, but he is continually asking himself why did he think that before.
  21. Journal entry 4: Someday I need to thank Alpha Stockdale for sparing my life. I know it couldn’t have been easy with the things I did. Even if it was a byproduct of him saving Michael’s life, I still owe him a great debt. If it wasn’t for him and Alpha Jennings, I wouldn’t have a chance to make some kind of amends for my actions. I can’t even imagine the conversation that went on between the two alphas that allowed me and Michael to move here. There were times I hated Alpha Stoc

    Journal 3

    Thank you Jeff. For now at least, the journal is a way for him to begin discussing things that are followed up in his sessions with the shrink. Instead of trying to get things out directly, he can write about it for her to see and continue with.

    Journal 3

    Thanks Blind. Very true words. Thank you Tammian. As this progresses, things can go several ways. I'm having more fun with the journal style than I thought I would. It is a good format for this character. Thank you Freerider. I'd say he sees them as more like guardians to him. He is effectively under home confinement at present and he looks at that as a consequence of his actions.

    Thank you Chris. Thank you Tazzle. Being one of those people who have been to those dark places I agree it can be a daunting trap and difficult to escape. Thank you Lux. Always good to see your thoughts Will he open up about everything or hit a point of bottling things up because he can't deal with it? Cracks can turn into a shattered mess sometime, but that's all just theory at the moment Thanks JayT. Your long support is always appreciated. For a character that had such limited exposure and was a total ass when he did appear, it is fun to develop him and see where he might go.
