Thank you Poet Monday will be here before you know it.

Thank you Lenhall. I'm not good at creating cliffhangers most of the time, but once in a while I get lucky

Thank you as always Avid All I will say is it could go either way.

Thanks Kubikra, I never mind when someone points out spelling or grammar errors. I'm my own editor, so one one of the ten or so proofreading passes I made before posting this I'm the one that missed any of it. Typically the errors are down to one or two per 1000 words. While I'd like to have it free of errors, I do the best I can before it all blends together.

Thank you JT Here's hoping

Thanks Centex. It has been fun building Jean-Pierre from the hateful demon of a man when he was introduced into what he is today. He has committed serious crimes and does the protection of his pack justify that in any way? Maybe and maybe not. It the wolf world the lines are a little more grey. Many of the Alphas understand the modern world and can accept change, while some like Dorian live in the past or are just too full of themselves. Anytime Ethan as fought so far, it has been in concert with his gifts. Can he fight another Alpha without the use of those gifts? Regardless of how much preparation Aiden and the others gave Ethan, when a simple twisting of words can lead into a challenge, it becomes more difficult to avoid the school yard bully.

Thank you rbenn Any outcome is possible at the moment.

The private jet landed in Calgary after the long flight. Parker Valley, along with several other packs from Pennsylvania and New York chartered the aircraft to save time reaching the annual Congress of Alphas in Alberta, Canada. It took nearly an hour to get their luggage and go through customs. Yet more waiting was needed to get everything set with the three SUVs Parker Valley had rented, before they were ready to get on the road to their final destination. Before departing, John gathere

Thank you M'Lady

Thanks CG Planning is a good thing, how it turns out remains to be seen. True mates would only be a pair, usually, beyond that they would have known long before now that they were mates, be it by smell, touch or some other way, it would have been a driving force that they would have figured, beyond falling in love with each other. Ethan and Aiden where physically drawn to each other while Cody, Casey and Darius chose one another. That does not mean that on some level there wasn't something working to guide them together. I know the ending of Aiden and Ethan's scene would annoy some, but I also figured them using a play space like Aiden created might as well; especially with Aiden being the first one bound and locked up for Ethan's pleasure (both of them really ), but while that can be considered an act of humiliation to some, it can also be done in an act of love if both parties are into that and Ethan was the one that initiated it by request. For them, it is just one level of their sexual experience that they have taken part in before and probably would in the future.

Thank you Centex It has been a learning process for me as I write this and I try hard to keep improving. I had to kind of keep an eye on how much I put into the planning session. I would get one idea and then another would pop up. I got to the point I was trying to figure what I could push to another chapter The roses, jockstraps and notes were fun for me. Earlier in the book, Ethan had shown his love for Aiden's jocks, so it seemed like the perfect item to use in creating a trail to the playroom. I knew how I was reading it, that it was more than just plain sex, but I wasn't entirely sure how others would read it. I'm happy it came out how I hoped. I knew for sometime that I was going to bring Casey, Darius and Cody together officially, and as a break to Aiden and Ethan's play time felt right. They had been building towards that for a while. Elevating Aiden and with him, Ethan, to become the Alpha Designate couple (I couldn't think of another name for it) the Alpha is just insuring the continuation of the pack and it is two powerful wolves that are being given the responsibility. It doesn't mean it is a sure thing as someone could challenge, but given Aiden's feelings on duty, he is the natural choice.

Thank you Mike

“Alphas.” John greeted his colleagues. “I’d like to thank you all for accepting my invitation to this meeting. It’s nice to see those of you here in person. To the rest only able to meet us on video conference, I understand logistics, scheduling, and distance can be a pain. However, it’s important to have you as part of the discussion. This is why we have the technology after all.” He waved his hand towards a man many of the others did not recognize. “Also joining us is the representativ

Thank you CG. The Alpha has two groups that he wants to bring closer. He knows a lot of the new arrivals will most likely stay long term in the pack and become full members and he wants them to feel it is their home. He also doesn't want to show favoritism to the new people over his existing pack members.

Thank you Centex. Hopefully inquiring minds will find what they want soon and that's all I'm going to say on some of those questions for now Physically, Aiden is more than strong enough to take over as Alpha since no one short of Ethan could potentially best him; though Ethan could only do that with his extra abilities. It would be a lot for Aiden to take on if he were to step into the Alpha position too soon.

Thanks Rbenn... I'm just going to say you will have to wait and see

The drive south on the Trans Canadian Highway had an almost hypnotic effect on the passengers in the SUV. Even Darius had to concentrate to stay alert as an endless row of trees lined the blacktop and concrete path. Snow banks encroached on each side of the highway making the two-lane road feel a little narrower. The three young pups’ eyes closed as they slumbered. Whether it was the excitement wearing off from being picked up by this new group of people or the calming sound of the road under th

Thank you Anton Jackie is a full alpha so like her husband, she can do a full wolf or she can do a hybrid shift or in the case of when she eliminated her son it was only her hand and arm that shifted. Likewise, Ethan is just as much an Alpha as Aiden. Personality and choice on how to serve would be the only difference; so yes, Alpha or male Luna would work.

Thank you Azure. The primary characters are fairly easy with their development. I sometimes find when I'm writing that I look over the chapter and ask myself if I've given secondary characters the time they deserve.

Thank you CG. JP is putting a tremendous amount of in Aiden, but so far Aiden has proven himself to be duty bound in the protection of others. I can see them in my head too. It's all good until they start talking amongst themselves and won't let me into the conversation.

Thank you Gee. I agree with you on the end feeling a little rushed. I didn't really notice it at the time, but you're right. I think I spent too much time looking at the house on Google Maps to consider putting more detail about it into the story or some of the details on Marie and the kids.

Thank you Poet. I wish I was a faster writer so I could post more often

Thank you Avid Everyone expected that code to be for a computer and to be honest, it was one of several possibilities I was toying around with until I started playing around with locations in the way Aiden did.

Thank you Centex. The way I originally laid out the story when I wrote the first seven chapters (which was suppose to be the half way point to being finished) I wanted the pack to be accepting of Ethan. As the story developed, that inclusiveness grew. The friendliness was always there among the different shifters, but Ethan kind of opened their eyes to it becoming a stronger community. Aiden could probably be considered loyal to a fault, not that it's a bad thing. He knows where his loyalties are and he is devoted to that. Duty and service to the pack are more important than power and money. I may not live someplace I can build a playroom yet, but at least I can build one in my imagination and my Lycan world can have one

Reading your poems always make me smile. Thank you for writing
