Thank you Tazzle,

I'm happy you enjoyed it Acid

Thank you for putting this together every month, Dark, and thank you for letting me be a part of it again

Thank you Freerider. I like hugs and happily accept them Life is what it is. Some parents are good and accepting, others... not so much. I wanted to give up many times, but survival and trying to move forward is really the only option.

Thought I had missed replying to this, but turns out it was just from a glitch after the site upgrade. My original reply still stand and think you for the wonderful compliment

Seeing this brought a smile to my face and I will happily accept that hug. The fireflies may have been a small touch to the story, but speaks volumes about Ethan's growing connection to nature.

Thank you Tazzle for the wonderful compliment

Thank you for including me in this and for the wonderful write-up, Dark It is fun seeing what the authors have to say.

Another great chapter. I really enjoy how dismissive Dean is of Kai and his pet wolf. Goldie seems like a cool Alpha with good advice for Dean. Like the others, I'm looking forward to the trial.

Thank you so much Khar. If it hadn't been for getting to know you, Alpha Karissa Ryan most likely would have never taken shape with her strength and determination. I admit I'm kind of enjoying having a break form writing since I went so long without missing a single Monday. Yeah, sure... No pressure I've been working on an outline for a possible second book as well as a couple different spinoffs. I'm not sure when something new will be posted, but there are things in the works.

Thank you Yarame The support and encouragement that you and Ambrose have shown me means a lot to me.

Thank you Smoothy. After so many weeks of making sure a new chapter was ready, it seems odd to not be posting anything new. I'm not sure how long of a break I'll be taking, but I doubt the characters will let me go too long before they're yelling at me in my dreams to give them life again

Thanks for the compliment Mogwhy I'm looking at a couple different options while I take a break.

Thank you Brian You and all the other readers have given me the encouragement to see if I can take it beyond this point. If it wasn't for the lot of you, it would have never gotten as far as it has.

Thank you Hill I managed to go all of four days before I began working on a basic draft outline for a second book. It may take a little time before I start writing it or begin posting anything, but the new book is in the works.

Right now, all options are on the table and I have time to figure out where this goes and how to do it.

Thank you Taste When I picked up writing this after nearly a years break between ch 7 and ch 8, I pretty much through out what I had for blocking out the story. I still had several points I wanted to reach but the way they got there and the people involved continued to change as the story grew on its own. The one thing that didn't change was Ethan and Aiden together somewhere, in each others arms as husbands. This always had to go full circle in my mind. It just took much longer to get there than I ever thought, but I'm happy with the result.

Thank you LadyDe for all the encouragement and always bringing a smile to my face with your comments. It is an odd feeling of not putting a little time in each day with characters I've spent so much time with. While I try and figure out if and how I can map out a second book that can stand with the first, just consider that they want a little private time on their honeymoon

LOL. Thank you Laz I don't see this as the end of the story, but just a good place for me to take a break.

Thank you Jeff.

Thank you CG. You, like so many others here have been incredibly supportive since I began posting this. I think I had 20 chapters written when I began to post it and it is in part due to the encouragement of you and everyone else I was able to keep up with this. So many people have told me I brightened their Monday and if that isn't the best compliment a person can get, I don't know what is.

Buz, thank you for all your support and encouragement. I've actually looked at my pending file repeatedly over the last two weeks as the chapters waiting to be posted decreased and this week as it sits empty for the first time since I began posting this story. I still find it hard to believe that I never missed a single Monday, although it did get close a few times when characters weren't cooperating in a chapter. Everyone that has commented since the beginning has helped me improve my writing skills and pushed me to try and raise the bar each week. The compliments on my writing and the popularity of this story make me laugh when I think of my creative writing professor who suggested I would be happier in a different class before failing me saying I had no talent for the art. Future books are the main reason that several potential plot lines were never addressed or tied off. Mondays may be silent for the moment from me, but I hope to get back to the grind after a much needed break.

Thank you for that wonderful compliment, Imoline.

Thank you Mike. I'm kind of sad at ending it since it has been a part of my life for so long.

Thank you Centex for all your support and encouragement over the last several months. At times it felt like a writing a saga just getting to this point. There are a few ideas, and a few notes already getting jotted down, so we'll see
