Tristan, stop. Just stop. Your little plan, it's not gonna work... Scotty is so pure, so innocent, so adorable, it honestly breaks my heart to see Tristan lead him on like that and being so oblivious about it. Like, he knows Scotty is crushing on him, and the best thing he can come up with is to make the boy think he's moved up to 'cool enough to hang out with my friends,' which kinda sounds like the next best thing to an actual date, and bring him to see your actual boyfriend and his friend who ALSO wants you. 🙄 It's almost as if he tried too hard and ruined everything, and now Scotty is getting jealous of Jesse, and Tristan is practically rubbing it in his face without even realising it. Tristan really needs to come clean and let him down as gently as he can. It's probably gonna get ugly, but at least then Scotty will be able to move on and let Artie work his charm. I'm really loving this story Com, but if Scotty doesn't get his 'happily ever after' too, well, I know where I keep my pitchfork. 😉

I hope Maddox knows what he's doing, because he could end up in a world of hurt once the month is over. Jonathan remembers things and might look for some payback if Maddox takes things too far. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Sooo...where are the adults in this school, and what the fuck are they doing? Ethan needs to take pictures of this and report it, and he also needs to talk to his parents, because he's going to need someone in his corner when things get worse. It sounds like the school won't do a damn thing about the bullying (just like with Drew) until Ethan fights back, then they'll try to punish him because of some bullshit 'zero tolerance' policy. I'm so angry this had to happen right after Ethan and Drew both made breakthroughs about being more open in their relationship. I'm betting this is gonna be really hard on Drew. Ethan should also talk to his friends to see where he stands with them. Great chapter as always.

Okay, this guy definitely feels like someone who wants to rule from behind the scenes. I hope Vincent surprises him by not being so easily manipulated. I can't imagine Ciprian would take it very well if Vincent ends up trusting Dani's advice over his, as I somewhat suspect he will. Dani is still stuck in this endless loop, unfortunately. It seems that every answer he gets comes with two more questions. You have to wonder how much of what he's heard about the monarchy was true and how much was propaganda from the current regime. I have no doubt in my mind that Dani will end up on Vincent's side, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Carandini family split into pro-Vincent and pro-Ciprian factions because Vincent is being too 'soft' or something like that. I think Dani's problem right now is a lack of confidence. He obviously trusted Vinicius a lot, but at the same time he failed to learn to trust his own judgment and decisions. It's like he found his answer but won't commit to it until someone else confirms it for him. It's kind of hard to watch him be so confident and yet so lost at the same time. I'm hoping he can get out of that house soon and speak with Graham, and hopefully get more answers. I'm also hoping Ciprian doesn't find out Dani's been asking about Dahlia, that could cause problems later. Glad to see a new chapter, as always.

I think Jake is trying to help, in the worst possible way. I think he knows that the increase in views didn't come from Sammy's cooking, and he figures that he might as well use their flirting and fun times to get more views. And Sammy's too busy enjoying what they're doing to stop him.

LOL, what is Jake thinking? That was pretty funny and hot, but maybe they need to tone it down a little. Or maybe make a 'clean' version for the channel and keep the 'spicy' edit for themselves. As long as we still get a behind-the-scenes look, it's all good. About the mom situation: the one thing that stood out to me is that Sammy doesn't mention grabbing his phone. Is it possible that he left it on the counter in his rush and mom saw some of the footage? If so, she doesn't look too concerned about it, that's a good sign. Loving this and I can't wait to see how the brothers deal with this setback.

With how Jonathan reacted at the end, Ray would have to be completely oblivious to not figure out what's going on. Hopefully he can be the voice of reason who finally gets these two to have a long overdue conversation to clear this all up. Or, well, people tend to talk too much when they're angry, as Jonathan seems to be right now, so maybe while he's shouting at Maddox he'll let something slip and clue the bad boy in on what's keeping them apart. Either way, I don't see this being over any time soon. Even if the misunderstanding is out in the open, I still think it'll take time to build up enough trust to give this relationship a chance. Even if Maddox knows what's up, he's going to have to carefully navigate this and do all the right things to show Jonathan that he's serious and this isn't all some kind of game to him, or part of a bet or something. At this rate it'll take Ray, Hannah, and Maddox's friends joining forces to push these two together. Plus, we don't really know what that guy Drew did to Jonathan, and for all we know, all of Maddox's sincere efforts to get closer could be raising red flags all over the place. Looking forward to more!

Started to read this a few days ago, and I'm hooked! I just had a crazy idea. I'm starting to think Deadnus is a relative of Dahlia who got herself turned into a vampire to get revenge on the ones who turned Romero against her. That's if she's not Dahlia herself. I don't know, she seems to have turned this into a very personal vendetta against the Carandini family, and I can't think of any other reason at the moment (why that revenge is aimed at Ciprian and not Romero is another mystery). It also plays into that conversation Vinicius had with young Vincent about not letting revenge consume you. Deadnus is so hell-bent on destroying the Carandinis that she probably just pushed her most powerful 'weapon' right into Vincent's hands. I don't think Dani will die that easily. I'm guessing his gifts could activate out of self-preservation and render the bullets harmless. Vincent should also take Edward Graham's advice and trust no one, especially not Ciprian. I'm getting bad vibes from him, like he orchestrated all this to get rid of his brother and install Vincent as a puppet king while he holds power behind the scene. Dani will probably see right through him, he seems to have a good intuition on who the threats are (even if he doesn't always listen to it). I think Vinicius knew that leaving Deadnus in charge of anything would end up in a disaster, and his plan was to use himself and the Specials as a moderating influence on Vincent to make him a more just ruler when he retook power. That's possibly why he avoided discussing the subject with Dani, so he didn't poison his mind against either side.

I'm assuming they didn't set an alarm off because Austin was home and his parents didn't feel the need to have the alarms on. It's also likely that they'd have some surveillance cameras around the property and the mother saw Kyle and Matias breaking in. The lawyer might have spotted the boys staking out the place too and made sure to take the USB drive with him. I think this might've been part of a sting that also went wrong for the lawyer when he found out they'd only get a pair of expendable kids and didn't think Kyle and Matias would still go through with the robbery. I hope I'm wrong, but I have a sinking feeling Matias won't make it out of this. He's in too deep, and he realised it too late.

My goodness, is Drew finally starting to get it? I'm glad things are starting to look up, but I wonder if it would help if Ethan drove the point home that it's too late for Drew to keep his distance now anyway. I get where Drew's coming from, but he needs to stop with these delusions that walking away from Ethan will magically put everything back the way it was and make it so that Ethan isn't in the middle of being outed. Plus, they have Patrick on their side, and possibly some of Ethan's friends as well. Now I've never really been bullied, but I have to think it gets a little easier when you have a support network. Another great one, can't wait to see what happens next!

I must confess that I got impatient and went to read this on another site after a few chapters. I enjoyed it immensely and will revisit this extended version after the dust settles. That being said, I was hoping for an extended ending, epilogue, or perhaps even a sequel, because I would really like to know more about Adam, Sage, Brandon, and their lives on Purity. One can still dream!

Another great one, Com. I wonder if/how Sarah is going to try to get between then when she figures it out. As others have said, it's pretty obvious that mom knows or at least suspects, teens in love aren't as sneaky and discreet as they think they are .

Another great chapter! I really hope Wesley can find a way to break free from this brainwashing, but I'm not sure how. Maybe that other pack could help, but I fear they would simply RE-program him instead. But at the very least, he's now aware of how deep the brainwashing goes, that gives him a small chance to fight back against it. At least I hope it does, because it's going to get ugly when his father starts talking bad about Cyrus.

Finally! I hope Ethan is getting through. It's not going to be all sunshine and rainbows, but they're not alone anymore. They have each other now, and Patrick, and unless I'm getting the wrong signals, Jermaine and Ethan's parents will be supportive as well, and let's not forget Drew's mom. So they have people in their corner. And the people Drew is worried about? Well, sounds like they've already made up their minds about Ethan, so I don't think it matters if he distances himself from Drew, he's already a target. Can't wait to see where our two lovebirds go from here!

LOL, I didn't get that vibe at all. You must be reading too much into things.

My thoughts exactly. Artie and Scotty are real sweethearts, and they both seem to like each other, But Scotty won't make a move as long as he thinks he has a chance with Tristan. Scotty is going to get hurt either way, so Tristan might as well let him down gently and soften the blow as much as he can. What if Artie decides to go for it and tells Scotty about Tristan and Jesse so he can move on? Or what if Scotty wanders around and finds them kissing (or worse )? Come on, Tristan, don't be stupid! If you don't tell him everything at once, at least let Scotty know you're not available, so he can take a chance on Artie, who IS available and very interested. Loved it, Com, I can't wait to see where this goes.

Another amazing one, loved it! Super cool that Scotty and Artie are hitting it off, they look adorable together. I hope things work out for them. I thought the end of the chapter was slightly bittersweet. Looks like Scotty figured out what's going on between Jesse and Tristan, and he's probably hurt, but at the same time he found Artie who appears to be very interested in him. I think Scotty is going to be sad, and probably angry at Tristan for not saying anything, but in the end he'll see that Artie is a better match for him. I can't wait for more and hope that everyone gets a happy ending (except for Jason Fixx).

Another great chapter, Com, I just HAVE to know what happens next! I have a feeling the old man is the guy Cyrus said they needed to 'take care of' a while back. If Cyrus considers him a threat, then maybe Wesley and Isaac are safe for now. As long as the old man doesn't consider them to be too dangerous. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Poor Isaac, he just wanted to have a bit of fun and now he has to choose between being killed by a pack of werewolves and moving far away from everything he knows, he's obviously not safe anywhere Cyrus can reach him. Who's the old man? Is he friend or foe? Where does he live? Could the boys end up living with him? So many questions.

That's why I'm frustrated with Drew. Ethan is basically being dragged out of the closet, and Drew just runs away and leaves him to deal with it on his own, when he knows how hard and painful that can be. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that Drew panicked and thinks Ethan blames him for the whole thing, and that this is just a big misunderstanding that will be cleared up once Ethan manages to get a hold of him.

My oh my, Drew is royally fucking this up. It's a bit late for keeping some distance, that ship has sailed. He of all people should know that they won't leave Ethan alone now that it's started. I just hope Patrick can talk some sense into him before it's too late. C'mon, Drew, your boy needs you! Ethan seems very determined to not let this get in their way, so maybe I'll get my Ethan + Drew PDA after all. I'm guessing most people probably won't care anyway, and they might even get some cool new friends out of the deal. Great chapter, as always! Can't wait to see how this gets resolved!

Wait, you can get strikes for making a playlist? Good to know that guilt by association is a thing on Youtube now. But don't worry, I'm sure it's just a glitch in their algorithm, and they'll get that fixed right away and Youtube will be more careful to make sure this doesn't happen again until this happens again less than a year from now. 🙄

Go Jake! Show that bastard why he shouldn't make a move on someone else's man! Two things I see as likely to happen next: 1) Dylan will be confused at the extra attention he'll be getting at school, which I expect to be more positive as his quick action may have saved that girl's life as far as they're concerned. I feel like they were looking at him in surprise and a bit of awe more than the usual contempt. 2) Dylan will witness the fight between Jake and Liam, and the fight will reveal an ugly side of Jake that Dylan won't like one bit. Not sure if it's something he says or does, or a new bit of information that's revealed, but I think Dylan will love Jake a lot less when this fight is over. I'm a bit disappointed in Dylan for letting this happen and not resisting the kiss as much as he should have, but then again it's not like Liam didn't know about and tried to take advantage of Liam's drunkenness. What a scumbag, but I'm really starting to wonder if he did change or if this is who he was all along and Dylan was just on his good side. Great artwork, I thought Dylan's was a real pic when I first saw it on my phone.

Yeah, but he feels really bad about it now and said he was sorry, so you totally owe it to him to let bygones be bygones and give him another chance, you know? /sarcasm I can't stand selfish and entitled people like that, and it really bothers me when they end up "getting their man" in the end. Should they end up alone and miserable? Not necessarily, but redemption shouldn't mean you get everything you want in the end, some damage just can't be undone. As for Jacob, I'm going to hazard a guess that Liam and Jacob's fathers are business rivals or something. We'll probably find out soon enough.

Just when I thought Liam couldn't get any more oblivious and disgusting, he goes and pulls the "You're mine" card. I really hope Dylan picks up the 8 ball and hits him in the nuts with it, what an entitled creep. As for Jake, I don't think he's what he seems either, but at least he hasn't hurt Dylan. Yet. And if he does turn out to be bad news, it just means Dylan needs to go out and date a third guy who isn't one of those two toxic losers. Liam looks like one of those people who peaked in high school, I hope Dylan can move on to bigger and better things without letting that dead weight hold him back.

Now that I think about it, it could be the title. I can just imagine some random mother going on Amazon, seeing your book and thinking "What a lovely collection of stories and songs for my little baby", and then complaining to Amazon when she ends up with hot gay sex instead. And then you get flagged and become a target for the 'content police'. This just sucks. I'd rather cut them out and buy the books directly from you instead. Then I wouldn't have any reason to go on Amazon at all.
