Thank you Avid The first couple chapters, I was nervous this format would not go over well. Thanks Centex Thank you Mike Thanks Chris Thanks Booklove

Thanks Jay Guess this means I hit the mark I was trying for. Thanks you Blind It's fun to me seeing my readers pick up something I tried to be subtle about. Rory is the more self assured of the two while Chris is still coming into his own. Chris's submissiveness to Rory just seems natural, at least for now but maybe always As far as romantic, at least I can write romantic LOL. Thank you Gee This had me smiling big time. Yeah, the big tough enforcer is the biggest softie of them all. As far as their sexy times and the first mating, I'd thought about that. I couldn't decide if it would be as humans in bed, wolves in the forest or a combination, but no matter where and which form, I'm sure it would be hot.

Thanks Jeffrey Thanks Jay

Journal entry 27: The last couple of days have been enjoyable. More so than I ever thought possible. On Tuesday, Rory and I did a date night with dinner and a movie. We went to Glacier Haus for dinner. I started to growl when he stole something off my plate, but his mischievous grin melted my heart. It reminded me I was out with my boyfriend and not just a friend. When I did the same thing, he beamed with happiness. It only got better as we shared our food. Over desert, he jokingly s

Thank you LadyDe Thank you Centex

Thanks as always JayT I had thought about putting Kyle and Corey together and hadn't gotten around to it, at least not until Saturday. After you looked disappointed that Chris didn't end up with Kyle I went back and added him with Corey. It fixed something that seemed to be missing to me and made it even more fun for me to write.

Thank you Tazzle Thank you for the wonderful compliments as always Centex It as fun shifting Chris' interest from Becca to Rory, but being a twin, she would factor in and be close to her brother (I know not always). Since they already knew his past as you put it, they had time to digest it as well as hear the other opinions of their father. While Rory could have rejected Chris and decide he wanted nothing to do with someone that has a past like Chris, he's the type of person willing to get to know the person, not just the reputation. Thank you Mike Thank you CG I did try to write one version of this chapter with Rory rejecting Chris just to see how it worked, but it didn't feel right to do it. I really enjoyed writing this version and the one I opted not to use wasn't fun at all. Thanks Peter

Thank you Defiance Thanks Avid Thanks Acid Thank you Jeffrey

Thanks mogwhy I was unsure of it when I first started this too. Thank you Lux Thanks Blind Thank you Gee

Journal entry 26: It felt like 11:30 would never arrive. I nervously checked the time on my phone for the tenth time. Or was it the twentieth time? I left my apartment a few minutes early so I’d get to the coffee shop on time. Rory showed up shortly after, and his sister was with him. Why was she there? I thought he wanted to talk to me and kind of figured it would just be the two of us. I had to admit she was smokin’ hot and given the chance I’d try to get her into bed in a heartbea

This had me in tears by the end and that's something that isn't easy to do. To say it is powerfully written is an understatement. I can understand the strong emotions that come around for you every year. A particular day in September has a similar effect on me still. I'm just going to say "Strong wolf Hugz to you" and leave it at that.

I haven't been called a tease for a while. I like that, Thank you So, I shouldn't go on vacation without posting the next chapter on Monday? Thanks Lux

Thank you Jeffrey Thanks Mike Chris is kind of worried about doing anything that is similar to his old life. Asking for favors or special treatment is something he can't bring him self to do Thanks Avid. It's probably like with parents anywhere who have a child that committed a serious crime, everyone will always know even if they are still supported by the pack. Thanks Chris

Thank you AC Thanks to your guidance so far, I find myself looking at every line now when I'm writing to try and make sure I'm not creating hard stops. This is something that no matter how I explain, my friends don't understand why I do it.

Journal entry 25: I didn’t text Rory yesterday evening right after we met. It felt like I needed to give my mind time to wrap itself around what had happened. But I did text him this morning. It was short. After hitting send I felt like a dork for how plain it was. <This is Chris Williams. We met yesterday with our families.> Part of me never expected to hear back from him. I am sure his father filled him in on me and all my problems. On all my crimes. Mr. Hanson has been

He was so short lived in the first book that I never gave him a description. I kind of picture him as about 6'2", sandy brown hair, around 190# and with a trim but muscular build. He was a football player in high school. Not as bulky as a linebacker. Thanks Lux. Well see what tomorrow's chapter hold His parent want to rebuild a relationship with him. They know they screwed up and that Chris screwed up. Seeing the way he's changed, they really want to get to know the son they could have had. Thank you LadyDe. I considered writing a joke chapter especially for you with the squirrel shifting into someone and them having the entire mate discussion Or Chris shifting into a wolf and biting the squirrel/mate for all the pine cones it threw at him.

It's been fun seeing everyone pretty much expect that he'd end up with Kyle. I had given that some thought. Thank you Mike

I'm sorry JayT. Kyle lost the coin toss. Rory's sister did as well. The world is filled with ups and down. Question is, which one is this. Thank you Centex. Chris should have really paid more attention in Lycan Sex Ed classes

The bull rider settles in And with a synch of the rope As the chute opens up And the longest short ride begins We fly out the shoot And crowd starts to cheer As he kicks and he bucks To try and make me catch air As the seconds count down I can finally let go From the brutal bull ride A glorious eight seconds of hell

As I work to expand the work of Running with the Pack, I'm amazed to see that the original story has surpassed 100,000 views.

Thank you Lux Thank you Jeffey Thank you tim Thanks Molly

Journal entry 24: I was out with Mom and Dad showing them around town when I picked up that same scent of fresh pine needles again. I mentioned to my parents I wished I could figure out which tree it came from. They couldn’t smell anything out of the ordinary. They admitted the trees smelled much different from back east but were all nice. I walked us in the direction my nose indicated the scent was coming from. As it grew stronger, I could see the pack enforcer and his family up ahe

The stunning red The fragrant smell A gift of life The heart does swell Its splendor is short lived And will soon fade away The beauty of a rose Always brightens my day

Thank you Gee I like your plot idea. Thank you LadyDe Finally, someone brought up my little squirrel that likes to throw pine cones at Chris No to squirrel shifters, but that thought had me laughing. Since I'm not familiar with trees in the South I can't speak to that. I'm only saying that trees in the Northeast are different from the Northwest, honest Thank you Avid

Thank you Jeffery. The visit should be good for everyone. Thank you Chris Thank you Lux If you promise not to tell anyone, I'll let you in on the mystery... I spilled a bottle of pine cleaner while I was writing. Thank you Centex. Maybe one of the guys he's been around bathed in something pine scented? Beyond that I'm saying nothing. lol
