of course, depression sometimes cannot be explained... my question was more on the relationship or not with Toby... If the reason was not sexual, family might never know what really was inside Josh head.

NO not really the wedding, but make Trick's mom understand that he was also a lost kid and that he stopped the bullying even before Trick left... true story is always the best with moms

Sweet story, happy they are moving forward. Cody might need to explain himself better to the future in-laws though.

I don't know if I agree with you, but I share some of your doubts... Was there anything more to Liam's brother suicide? Was just depression or had a sexual component involved (even if it is unlikely they would both be gay)? What were exactly the feeling Toby had for him? And specially the Mandy deal needs more explanation... Is Toby a Kinsey 6 playing straight, an occasional 5, or a total 3? And did the benefits stop or he his still playing around? He might actually be a great guy, at least he was when Liam was hurting after the suicide, we just need to see more of he.. So many questions... Thanks @Kjamieson

I hear you, I kinda of want them together, but Jake seemed to had it easy in the end... Probably a masochist way of dealing with it, but I would probably wanted to know more if I was in Kaiden shoes.

Wow, This worked like Magic, @Arran asked for chapters and here it is. Hey @Kjamieson does it always work? I want a new chapter! A another One! One more!

I so hope they ignore Bailey's mother comment. They have been to so much, they deserve a little love. Maybe seeing the love Declan had for him would boost his connfidence in ways words can't.

Kohen got a space to call his own, hopefully he Will feel safer there. And it is close to captain

"All the bacon is sacred, la la la" (yes @Valkyrie now it will be in your head the whole day )

Very interesting story. The social rituals and strutures were indeed intriging. Since this story was, in my opinion, the breaking of Seeon as a person, his forced transformation to a complacent creature, a then the cultural shock, a sequel would sure be interesting. I would love to see if he will ever become and independent and proud man. Mika seem a nice guy that enjoy men, but not arrogant, actually caring for Seeon. Will Seeon ever make love to Mika, just because they both enjoy it, or will he always assuming the submissive role of "being his duty" to pleasure Mika? Will he ever feel like a proud Man when in presence of anyone from his old country? Will get ever contradict how brother, learn how to use a sword, really be Prince Seeon Waza, Royal husband of Prince Mika the 3rd in line to the throne? How will he real with his amazing, god-like powers? All this questions make love the characters and want to know more about them.

Cool, so many questions... Agree that Shiba is the embodiment of Water/Ice, and probably the most active faction since we already saw water/ice dragons. But where are the air and earth dragons, and the Spirits? An what is special about Torsten? and Lucy, she resisted mental manipulation from a dragon? Is Celeste also a Dragon, she could do Magic... Will Araziah be free of the Fire craziness, since is outside their control and near Torsten? Can't wait to know more. @Stellar

glad to see Robbie growing and start to look for what really matters to him. They are so cute together

nah, just a present for moggy

What happened to the lonely seed? It grew to be a small and delicate wild flower. Poppies, dandelions and other nature's joys, While called weeds, Ripped and tossed away, Burst in new seeds Spread by the winds. Their beauty fought, But never destroyed. happy you are here @mogwhy

Yup, agree with @droughtquake, a job with children it be great for Charlie. Nice chapter, glad to see Ian is home.

Hey I don't think Jake is only anexo Innocenti victim, I believe he might have a lot of bad things in his past, he did run with his brother gang. It is just the sexual preasure and Klaus aggresiveness that made me think about when people are outed against there will, which is terrible, and when abusers make the victims believe they wanted it because they had a physical reaction.

I will be, not going to do spoilers, but I am already in chapter 8

I will comment, no worries. But I will restrains from calling Klaus a bully bastard sexual predator in all chapters... At least i wil try and find different word to do it

Glad that the sex seems to have opened the confidence door for Jake. Hope he learns now how to play and manipulate Klaus as well

Right now maximum points go to Hans, the regretful lover Bah for Klaus the predator Jake...

Does he? Perhaps, if they both have the same "mental strength". Otherwise there is such thing as psychological war and mental manipulation. Even those who suffer from traumatic events such as kidnapping can develop Stockolm syndrome. We will see. Glad Jake found something that he likes, like urbanism.

Thanks, just to clarify that if I am reading your story is because I am actually liking the way you write, and now really want to know Jake's story. So since it seems that I might be a minority, don't take to personal my flames to Klaus . I only read the next chapter yet, but for me he is less than an average human being, sorry.

Ok I seem to be the only feeling this way but for me Klaus is still a despicable manipulator bastard. "Kevin Spacey and friends' " style. A chastity belt, really? Of course Jake is not a slave or a whore, it is his "choice", between to obey to the humiliating point of loosing control of his body or he can go back to his brother after Klaus f*cked his world on the first place and get rejection and probably a beating. My only comment to Jake would be that he is dealing with it um a childish way by denying it, which gives power to Klaus. He should use some of Klaus direct rudeness against him, like "yeah, I would f*ck you, but you are still a disgusting human being".

Everyone disliked Hans, but up to now, he was the only one been real. Yes maybe direct, rude and jealous, but even is "boy toy" comment to Jake should have shed light to who Klaus is, if Jake wasn't so stuck on looks. I despise people like Klaus, he is a domineering bully, who seems to enjoy playing and breaking people, maybe even with a bit of violence considering Hans bruises comment. Hope Jake can control his mind and doesn't get hurt.

Great story, congratulations
