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.

With 225 people actively following the story, over 56,000 views since I began posting this story, it is with a smile of accomplishment and a single tear of sadness that I announce that this is the final chapter of the current book of Running with the Pack. I would like to thank each and every one of you that has taken the time to read this as well as all those that have commented and sent me messages. While I am saying that Chapter 50 is the last chapter for now, I doubt it is the end of the story. Given how many people are following this story, I am considering posting new chapters here as opposed to under a new title when I return to work on the adventures of Ethan and Aiden, though that idea is not set in stone. There might also be a few short stories or spinoff stories involving other characters that have come up during the course of this book, but I haven’t figured out yet who. I never in my wildest dreams thought that it would come this far, let alone become this popular and that is in part due to all of you for keeping me motivated to reach this point. You have all brightened my life as much as Ethan, Aiden and the rest of the characters have. Thank you all, Wolf

Ethan and Aiden swam hand in hand, enjoying the tropical lagoon’s crystal clear water. Under the watchful eye of their snorkeling and scuba instructor, the pair marveled at the vast variety of life. Ethan felt perfectly at home; much more so than Aiden. Brightly colored fish would come out to investigate the couple only to vanish back into the coral as the two approached. When Ethan dove below the surface by himself, a single clown fish emerged from the safety of a sea anemone and swam to him.

Thank you CG I thought about snow or flowers when Ethan was playing with the kids, but I didn't want that to become an over used ploy of his, even if it does have a nice effect. Yeah, becoming parents the natural way is impossible, but no less fun for them to continually attempt

Thank you Avid I think those were two of my favorite gifts as well. It would be fitting for them to find some way to publicly display many of the gifts since they enjoy sharing with their pack. I am leaving the door open for side stories and that is all I am saying at this point

Thank you LadyDe. It never felt right that it sounded like Rafe and Mary could have been only children and this was the prefect moment to me to remedy that. As parents, they are too loving to have been in a small family I can't believe it is at chapter 49 either. I hope you're feeling better soon and happy that this boosted your spirits. Hugz

As always, Thank you Rbenn

Thank you Lux

Thank you Buz One of the joys about writing the Tucker family is creating a family I wish I could have been a part of. With how long I have been writing them, they are my family to a point. It would be cool to have them doing a world tour to personally visit the packs/clans that couldn't attend the wedding. This started out intended to be 15 chapters tops. I shelved it after chapter 7 for about a year and only started again because someone had a copy after I had deleted what I'd written. Hearing the reactions from all the readers is as fun for me as seeing the characters come to life chapter after chapter.

Thank you Patrick The world needs more Lycan art.

Thank you as always Centex With Aiden, it was his mating to Ethan that brought him into being a full Alpha and likewise with Ethan becoming a full Alpha. I'm not going to go as far as to say that a non-mated Alpha can't shift into a hybrid form depending on how powerful he or she is, but most cross over that threshold in their Alpha development with their true mate at their side.

Thank you JT It could be fun having them as dads. I could see Aiden being a big kid with kids.

Sunshine streamed through the windows, throwing sparkles of light around the room. Ethan inhaled his mate’s rich scent as he fought the urge to open his eyes. He wanted to put off the world for a few more minutes. The warmth and protection of the arms wrapped around him felt good. His head rested on the furry chest; his ears caught his husband’s rhythmic heartbeat. Taking another deep breath, he let the scent wash over him. There was no place in the world he would rather be. It was not long be
