Thank you Buz. The music for the last chapter and this one was as important to me as the setting itself. I agree with you on Cor Glanaethwy. When I heard them, they inspired the inclusion of a choir into the wedding and reception. A DJ friend of mine introduced me to Cody Xeru's music and the times I've talked to Cody, he is incredibly friendly. Hearing that song always brings a smile to my face and it was something that had to be used here. I kind of picture everyone on the dance floor for that last big song of the night. The two were truly humbled by the gifts from the dignitaries as each gift is something special from the various people they came from. With the Egyptian statuettes, each member of their inner circle was represented by one of the statues; a wolf, coyote and lion with two Alphas. The two Alphas both showing as pharaohs with the different gods were a unifying presents to stop the ancient wars and now the children of those gods stand with the Elemental/Alphas.

Thank you CG. It was fun coming up with the various gifts.

Thank you Centex

Thank you Avid

Thank you Imoline.

Thanks Gee. that is an understatement

Thank you Rbenn

Thank you JT Tyler and some of the others were always meant to be just secondary or passing characters. They are part of Aiden and Ethan's circle of friends that get together often, they would have only come up in the story during one of the groups runs or barbecues.

Thank you LadyDe I'd been trying to work out how to put a dragon or two into this since the early chapters. This was the first point it felt like it could work. As for the red head from the UK and his family, there are certain pictures of people in my mind. I am going to stick with it is up to the reader since he goes unnamed.

Thanks Gee. Who wouldn't be drawn to dragons

As everyone stood to applaud, trumpets sounded the opening fanfare of the traditional “Wedding March”. Holding hands, the pair slowly walked down the aisle. They stopped briefly at the fourth row, turned to face Alpha Stockdale, and bowed in respect to their leader. The grooms nodded to friends and well-wishers as they made their way past them. The smiles on their faces were as bright as the sun and just as warming to the hearts of those present. Trevor and Darius fell in line behind the hap

Thank you Glittery. Different is what I was aiming for from the start. I'm pleased that you're enjoying it

Thank you Phoenix. After this, if I ever get married I will have to give serious thought if I want to write my own vows Trevor falling into the background is mainly due to him being away at college, but he does come home for anything important involving his friends. As far as the UK representative goes, that is strictly up to the readers interpretation

Thank you CG Just like their small winter wedding, I wanted it to have some touches of tradition but with their own flair as well as Ethan using his gifts simply for the enjoyment of everyone attending. The most important thing to Aiden and Ethan was the inclusion of all their pack mates. Everyone else, like the choir is a bonus.

Thank you Buz. Seeing what you wrote about being tired and then feeling happy around remembering it was new chapter day made my day I've actually been working on portions of this chapter since I wrote about Ethan's first shift. At the time, the different types of Were's visiting didn't work, but it was something that I had wanted to include as a portion of his "coming out" process.

Thank you Centex It's fun letting Ethan play around with the earth portion of his elements.

Thank you Mike

Thank you JT

Thank you Lux. Actually, no. I thought it was amusing that last week many of the reviews asked about Trevor since I've had this chapter finished for about a month now just waiting to post (and while I continually tried to proof read it). For some other parts, it seemed like the natural spot in the process to address them.

Following the upheaval with the Lycan Council, John and his allies were busy assisting the new administration settle in. He tasked Aiden with managing several projects for the Council to assess his abilities and was pleased with the results. The young alpha sought the counsel of the pack’s elders to better understand the job. Only then did he search for the people he needed to undertake each assignment. He delegated well and insured each project was properly completed. All this while attending t

Thanks Rbenn. Most likely if it was mentioned to John it would just be in an "oh, by the way" thing. That would be more of a problem for Dorian to handle. Besides, Dorian didn't have too many friends in the Alpha community due to his attitude.

Thanks Centex John would have made a very good council president, but that would have moved Aiden and Ethan up to running the pack much sooner than they need. Even though they are capable, they still need some time to grow together. Karissa taking such an obvious lead role with swearing in the new leader of the council is due to the fact that she has more balls than a lot of her counterparts. She may be a woman in a typically male wolf's role, but she isn't going to back down from anything she believes in.

Thank you for this Molly, It has been a fun journey for me, taking these characters from a spark in my imagination into what they are now.

Thank you Gee. This was originally was supposed to be a 15 or so chapter story, but my slower way of story telling kind of killed that. I've thought several times that I should have broken this into multiple books before now but could wasn't sure along the current line of where an appropriate break would have been. I always had a start and end point in mind and getting from the original point A to point B went a little longer than I thought it would. A break to start a new book is definitely a possibility.

Thanks CG. The possibilities with Dorian on who, why and how are many. Is it a possible plot line or just something in passing? It could go either way
