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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

CONGRATULATIONS, tim

Journal entry 3: I’ve been here for a couple of weeks now. The Columbia River Wolf Pack was generous enough to take me in after I got myself exiled from Parker Valley. The fact any pack would take me is amazing, and I know I have my former alpha to thank. Even with everything I did, everything I was charged and convicted of, Alpha Stockdale still looked out for me. When our laws recommended I be put down as a threat to the Lycan community in general, he helped me. Instead of the fate

Thank you Acid. His only exposure prior to this was small parts in a few chapters as Michael's lackey. So far he's expressed remorse for his actions but can he turn things around or will he revert to his old ways?

Thank you Chris. Thank you Jeff It is kind of nerve racking to try a different style of writing, but for this character it seemed appropriate. Thank you Peter. It's fun seeing people wanting to see Chris succeed in his new life given what he did to get to this point, but I guess that is what this story is really about or is it? Thank you for the vote of confidence Avid. Chris made appearances in chapters 13 through 18 for the most part in RWTP. For something that I wrote so quickly, with the exception of editing, adding some detail and missing pieces, I'm liking this addition to this world. Getting to share it with all of you makes it all the better.

Thanks for that Lux Thank you Blind. I'm having fun developing Chris as he addressing his own problems and deals with what he's done. Thanks Smoothy.

Journal entry 2: When I first showed up here by myself, I thought I was going to be turned away–or worse. I checked in at the pack offices and reported immediately to the alpha. He had me explain what Michael had done when we parted ways. I told Alpha Jennings how he suggested we go on some random camping trip instead of driving straight through to Columbia River. How we fought about me no longer willing to follow him when I refused. And how I finally blew up over everything we’d don

Thank you for this hohochan. Usually I would agree about people getting a second chance. As I've said before, I never planned on giving Chris a second chance, but for whatever reason he asked to return and we'll see if he is deserving of a second chance.

Thank you Smoothy. It is fun to see peoples reaction to Chris in this different place in his life vs. the person he was before.

I just happened to run across this story tonight. The only draw back to binge reading is that I've gotten through everything so far and now have to wait for more. You've done a wonderful job. I love the way you portray both Bailey and Declan each in their own way. I can't wait for more

Thank you Freerider Thanks Acid It feels to good to be writing and to have things flowing well. This wasn't the sequel I had planned, but those characters are being stubborn at the moment so they get to sit on the shelf until they decide to participate like they did in book 1. lol. I said in my response to Avidreadr that writing about Chris was something I never planned. For whatever reason, something sparked with me last week and I wrote the first draft of the entire story in 4 days. I'm still adjusting, polishing and editing. Fortunately I quickly got to a point where I could start sharing it. Thank you Onim. You and so many others gave me a lot of support on RWTP and that continued support and encouragement is greatly appreciated

I'll go with second book, though it could probably go either way. It's good to be adding to the RWTP world.

Thank you Jeffrey. I'm excited too about getting back into writing and into the world of RWTP. Thanks TasteofHome. Thank you Blind. It is fun seeing a character grow that was just an accomplice to the bad guy and never more than a footnote in the first story. Thank you Defiance.

Thanks Avid. To be honest, I wouldn't have guessed Chris would be the center of anything I wrote until last week. In book 1 he was a disposable character I never had any plan to revisit. The possibilities that I've been trying to work on for part 2 didn't want to cooperate. Chris popped into my mind and I sat down things flowed easily. Go figure Thank you CG Thank you IBEX. It's a new style of writing for me and I'm enjoying it.

Thank you Imoline It feels good to be writing again. Thank you chrislucas Thanks JayT. It took me some time to get back into writing. Hopefully the writers block I had stays away for a while

Chris Williams was exiled from Parker Valley Pack after participating in an attack on the mate of another wolf. After being forced to leave the only home he knew, he was taken in by a pack on the west coast as a favor to his old Alpha. At the suggestion of the counselor helping him work through his many problems, he began keeping a journal of his thoughts on what got him to where he is.

Journal entry 1: God, did I fuck up this time. I would be proud of myself for admitting that if there was anything to be even remotely pleased with what got me here. My recognition of what a total idiot I’ve been can hopefully help me move forward. On the bright side, when you hit rock bottom, there’s generally one direction to go and that’s to start climbing again. It’s what my shrink tells me at least. She suggested I write a journal about what I did. Something about expressing my
