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.

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

Thank you Onim. This has been a fun journey for me with Ethan, Aiden and the rest of the gang at my side (or talking away in my head). With luck, this will just be a temporary vacation from writing until the pack pesters me enough in my sleep to give them renewed life and further adventures.

Justin, Thank you for that. It has been a joy to me to share this story and these characters that seem like old friends with everyone.

Thank you Norm. At time I honestly didn't think it would reach this point. After having these guys running around in my head for so long (4 years since I started writing this), they won't just quietly fade into the mist I'm sure.

Thank you Rbenn, for your continual support and for being one of several that helped me catch errors.

Thank you Lux. All of you have made it a pleasure to get to this point.

Thank you Shade Some weeks it did feel like my hands would fall off. lol. I hope to figure soon where I want to take this.

Thank you Fly for the incredible compliment.

Thank you Mochatyger

Thank you Dgo.

Thank you Taylor. It has been a pleasure to share this with you and all the readers.

Thanks you Avid for all your support. With 50 chapters and never missing a week of posting, I need a little break to plot out the future of this band of characters.

Thank you JT for the continued support during this story Just remember, the door is open for additional adventures.

Thank you Phoenix. Hopefully not closure, other than the close of book 1, but perhaps a transition and beginning for a new phase.
