Thanks JayT. That lets me know things came across how I wanted them to. Thank you Mike No idea what you're talking about

Journal entry 23: I made it to Thanksgiving break at school and now have the week off. I’ve completed the three term projects ahead of schedule for the classes that require them. I’m holding off turning them in until after the break, so I can polish them a little more. I hope to have each one as good as possible since they are a major portion of my grade in those classes, and I want to do well. What is it with the trees around here that is so different from back east? Just today

Thank you Bft As my own editor, I know some mistakes made it into what got posted. Regardless how many times I proofread something, an error will make it through.

Constructive criticism is how I learn

Thank you Centex I think he is starting to find closure. He knows with Michael dead that he doesn't need to fear him anymore. He won't have to look over his shoulder, just in case. Thank you Mike Thank you so much, Lux

Thank you Avid Thanks Jeff Thanks as always JayT He was Michael's bitch but I'm really glad that I gave him that first chance at change as he departed RWTP.

Thank you for suggesting it Thank you Thank you Thank you

You're a very good and patient instructor, so thank you

Thank you both for your kind words

Journal entry 21: My emotions are running a little high today. No, that doesn’t quite cover it. They’re a complete and total mess. As a result, Kyle and Corey won’t let me out of their sight; not that I’m complaining. Alpha Jennings called me in and let me know Michael had been captured. The rogue gang that attacked Parker Valley and its neighbors had been found. An alliance of packs assaulted and eliminated the gang. While that’s good news on its own, it was doubly good because ever

I'm going to agree with you both. Michael was an actor worthy of an Oscar in how he played people. Even his own parents didn't see what he had become until it was too late.. Chris' mom did push him towards what she thought was the nice, respectful boy and she also received the benefits of being closer to the Alpha pair as a result.

In Michael's case, he was born that way. Thank you LadyDe. Perfect analysis of things. Years and years of conditioning

Of course he did. Aiden is a stud I kind of look at is as he was hoping to push Aiden to the point where he would forcefully take Michael and completely dominate him. Something that would never happen, but maybe the desire of a crazy guy. Michael is just one of those people that was wired wrong from the start. There is no reason for it, it just is, but that is a question that everyone including his parents would ask.

Thanks. Fixed it.

Journal entry 20: I started spending the night at Michael’s house when we were young pups. I think we were in first grade at the time. It was always the same even from my earliest memories of it. When his parents were around or if they checked on us, he was the model son. Always polite, respectful, and friendly. When they were out of ear shot, he turned into an ass. Whatever game we played, he always reminded me his dad was the Alpha. If it was a video game and I started winning, he

Thanks Jeffrey. LOL. Kyle was showing his concern... Or at least that's what I'm sticking with... Thanks JayT Thank you Centex Thanks Chris

Thanks Mike. Thanks Lux. Doing my final edits I decided I couldn't stand the original chapter I'd written and wrote this to replace it. Your comment shows me I made the right choice. Thank you Tazzle

Journal entry 18: With everything that’s been going on at Parker Valley, and my admission about how I was the first one Michael tied up and used, all of it’s been building up and I feel like if something doesn’t give soon I might explode. I felt some relief at first getting it out, but since then I’ve been filled with a kind of nervous energy for lack of any better description. It didn’t really help when the doctor put me on a forty-eight hour suicide watch after our last session. I

Michael's parents were loving and caring parents. Like many other monsters that have existed all over, is there really a reason for it? Violently hid it and used it as a tool of power over others. Just a thought to add to what you said, Michael was obsessed with his own power and power itself, the first one to take him in the rogue gang was the leader, a man of extreme power outside the confines of the Lycan Council. Years of conditioning by someone very adept at manipulation and yes, he was molded into a monster puppet for Michael to control. I think he does understand the role his mother played in his friendship with Michael. She didn't see what was happening and if she had, would she have done something to defend her son is the big question.

He's been hinting over several entries that there was something, his darkest demons that he was hiding from and couldn't get out. It definitely could mess with his head since its one of his biggest admissions. Yep. Very well said Thanks Mike. Is he in the closet? His attraction tends to be for women and he's acted on that many times in the past. He's had an attraction towards one of his friends, but so far everything with guys has been forced upon him by conditioning.

Thank you Jay Thanks Normischell To quote from one of Fantasyboy69's books, "stab him in the head with a silver spoon" Thank you for your continuing support, Centex I had written Michael to sort of like it and begin to submit quickly, more so than most would even though the rogues were using drugs on him. Chris seems to be in this process for the long haul.

Journal entry 17: It’s almost time for another session with Doc. I’ve given a lot of thought to things since Parker Valley was attacked. When I meet with her, I want to make sure I talk more about the bridge incident. That was my final downfall or my saving grace as I’m starting to think of it. There are also aspects of what happened that day that are indirectly tied to other things I have a hard time talking about. If I lead with the bridge, I think I can get through the rest. I’ll

Thank you Sussins

All I can do is happily nod my head at all your observations Corey wants to make up for the things he did in his past and help change someone else that was a bully. He may not know just how bad Chris was in his old life, though he's determined to make a difference.

Chris is also getting to where his feelings for the people back in Parker Valley is changing from how he knew them as the hostile teen he was to the thinking of them as the person he's becoming. With how close he was to Michael, to him it is the natural conclusion to come to regarding the attack even if he has no evidence to support it. The escorts may have started this as a job that has turned more into being mentors as well as friends I like the way you put it since the person who was sentenced does not exist anymore. He finally see's what friendship really is.
