  1. Soren bolted at the sound of a chime. All around him, werewolves surged forward, jostling for position as they leapt from the starting line. Beside the cinnamon wolf, a red wolf edged ahead, and Soren put on a burst of speed, trying to keep ahead of him. Alice’s words rose in his mind, and the mage slowed slightly, letting the other wolves pull ahead. If he pushed too hard now, he’d tire out far too early. And Soren wanted to do well. Kurt expected him to do well, and despite the sting of her

    Miles isn't a werewolf himself, so it is highly unlikely he'd realise he's Khurtschono's mate. However, if she's not careful, he might think she has a crush on him, and from there, it's not too far to realise the crush is a mate claim. Neko generally refers to cat people. In this universe, their appearance depends on their breed: the Niwo are your typical human with cat ears and a tail, Ythin are fully furred, and Askani are Niwo with a bit more body fur, but less furred than Ythin.
  4. Khurtschono poked at the cereal on the table, wrinkling her nose. Across from her, Soren was already gulping everything down — cereal, omelette, yoghurt all vanished into his maw. “Is the milk bad?” Khurtschono cast a sidelong glance at Skylar, who was elbow deep in dishes. “It smells weird.” “Cow milk,” Skylar explained. “Now eat it. You don’t want to miss the bus.” “Why did we switch to cow milk?” Khurtschono grumbled, scooping a spoonful of cereal into her mouth. Thin cream flooded her
  5. This is a wonderfully written story about a boy and his struggles with growing up. Given a responsibility most adults would struggle with, Billy faces the challenges he's given in an utterly believable teen manner. The writing in this story is top notch. Descriptions are vivid. and characters are portrayed in a manner that draws the reader in. This is a story that will hook you and keep you turning pages (or clicking that next chapter button) until you've read the whole thing in a single sitting.

    The Storm

    I like listening to music while I read. And Ode to Joy started playing when Billy climaxed. Like, full choral and everything. And let me tell you, the cackle I cackled reading his dad walking in with that playing in the background... it was fucking perfect timing.
  7. It's taken me a while to get into this story, and I'm still not sure I'll be able to finish it, but something about the premise just keeps drawing me back. You've written one heck of a first chapter.
  8. Connor scooped a glob of wax from a can. Wiping it across the Riverview Meadows sign, he worked over the freshly dried paint. After a week's worth of work, everything was clean, and he couldn’t see any black paint showing through the fresh white. Even the stencilling naming the community was redone — Connor was not taking any chances with Emma. If she thought there was even the chance he hadn’t broken his back working, she’d make him do it all over again. It was that trait that made him believe

    Ditching

    Yeah. Who would have thought Soren would be that good at hunting?
  10. “I’ve got some good news and some bad news.” Khurtschono slid into the truck, leaving the door open. They sat across the street from the laser tag centre. A bit of solo scouting had everything prepared for their escapades. Now she just needed to get Soren inside. “The bad news is, it’s a weekday. And a school day. No one’s going to be playing anytime soon.” “Oh.” It was almost as though Soren expected the disappointment. He barely even reacted. “The good news is, that means there’s rea
  11. Yeah, things are definitely heating up. In the wrong way.
  12. Raindrops tapped across the river. Resting against a submerged rock, Soren watched the miniscule waves ripple against his arms. Soft warmth enveloped him, only adding to the heat he felt. Soren felt himself falling, and he threw out a hand, trying to steady himself against a boulder. A calico hand supported him, and Soren stared at it blankly before realisation caught up to him. “Kurt?” “Oh good, you’re awake.” Kurt helped — dragged — him from the river. Soren blinked as the world swam aro

    Oh not at all. I understand this story didn't come out well and I appreciate your notes I'm happy you're enjoying the rest of the series.

    Chapter 31

    I agree. I wrote this story during a very chaotic NaNoWriMo (if I remember correctly, our car broke down and I had to hoof it three miles in the desert with a cold) and it definitely shows in the storyline. I'm probably not going to write on such a tight schedule again.

  16. Khurtschono peered through the brush. His truck’s engine provided a comforting chugging, forever stuck at driving thirty kilometres per hour. Dim headlights kept the gathering gloom of evening at bay. The laws of the Ythin Desert gave a car that was perfect for new drivers to explore with. But here, in the dark woods of Astara, Khurtschono found himself wishing for better. These woods didn’t belong to him. He hadn’t even had a chance to explore as a wolf yet. There! Khurtschono turned down a
  17. “Come on Fluffbutt, you got this!” Dylan’s cheeks puffed out as he pushed the bar above his chest. Connor kept his hands clear of the weights, cheering the neko on. The bench was angled more to work on the deltoids, something Connor was almost certain Dylan had neglected. The neko complained about his shoulders after running — well, his whole body actually, but Connor noticed he winced more when his arms moved. Throughout the gym, grunts and clangs echoed as the rest of the class worked on t

    Hopefully the two aren't connected...
  19. Soren stood under the warm shower. Stretching a leg out, he sighed in relief as his ankle popped. He’d already washed the lavender soap off — hopefully he wouldn’t get in trouble for using his own soap in here. It hadn’t clogged up his drains at home, so he doubted it would be bad at school. “You really do act like an aerafael.” Kurt chuckled behind him. “I haven’t seen anyone this comfortable with their body before.” “You’re aerafael,” Soren pointed out. “Why do you use the stalls?” “Oh,

    I hope you enjoy the story
  21. It helps to have insight into the local security 😛
  22. The key to any good crime was preparation. Luckily for Connor, he’d cased the scene of the crime extensively over the years. At least, he’d seen the security footage his mother had as the head of security for Riverview Meadows. And through that, he knew exactly where the cameras were placed. Connor strolled through the gate. He directed his feet toward the bus stop, fighting the urge to wave at a camera. Act natural. He was just going to school, not plotting anything. Ducking behind the bu
  23. Yeah, there are some difficult times ahead.
  24. Khurtschono swallowed his pill, grimacing at the minty aftertaste. Shaking the taste off, he stood up and blew out the candle flickering in front of Tareth’s altar. His obligations to the river god were finished for the morning. Stepping out of the small shrine, Khurtschono stretched. A quick swipe across his phone gave him his next task — the horse stalls needed to be mucked. A side note reminded him to give the horses a scoop of oats and make sure to fill the trough in the field. He trudge
