You could not have wrapped this story up in a bigger, better bow….to show the contrast and triumph over Loren and his biological progenitors, I’m still looking up “death by mob harassment”….I can only surmise that they killed themselves under the negative pressure of public opinion(?) If so, it’s an interesting C.O.D…..they had no problem living in the swill of their deeds in the shadows. Hoisted by their own petard….it works for me. Thank you for this last glimpse into their world for the foreseeable future, it is incredibly satisfying.

Haven’t read it yet, just sad to see Complete I know all good things must come to an end; okay, going to read now….

Of course you can, lol. I have faith in you.

Thanks for the new word (camphoraceous). 😁

I know maple, holly & spruce have very pleasant scents, I like the name agathis, lol. The woodsy fragrance will have to be something to blend well or complement a sweet scent.

See my later comment….guess great minds think alike, lol.

I was going to take time & figure a scent combo but I like this base-the snickerdoodle connection & if not cedar, some other type of pleasantly fragrant wood, as Tyler is a musician and all instruments outside of brass are made of wood.

I knew I forgot to mention something! (probably several somethings, lol) Do we ever outgrow wanting a lollipop at the end of a doctor’s visit? Lol!!

Caleb’s situation was heartbreaking and devastating….aside from the consequence he faced from the pack, he as his own judge and jury has sentenced himself far worse….if a mate connection cannot serve as goad and goal, perhaps the thought that Vann may want to seek him out one day should inspire….I truly wish something turns him around and soon because as Zev said, he has to want the help. 🙏 “Ashton grunted and tapped his tablet to wake it up. He typed out a message. Stay with me? Elijah’s eyes widened comically. He tapped the keyboard again. Just sleep? “ 😳 Nothing spoke more to the strength of the mate bond than Elijah agreeing to Ashton‘s request-while progress has been made, I don’t know that I could have agreed were I Elijah…. Kage’s still around and I don’t think he’s going to go until he knows that all obstacles to Elijah & Ashton’s path to togetherness are gone. As I may not get the chance to say so again, aside from reading material, Corbin is badass!! 😊; I hope the day comes he’s reunited with the whole family and Mom & Pop Larabee get to personally convey their gratitude, I’m sure he’s a member of the family as far as they’re concerned.

Wow. 😍 How often have we wished a dream stayed with us when we woke? Ashton had to know his real life nightmare was truly over when he woke to scent and vision of his Mom, just as Austin must have upon seeing their Dad…..(is this an indication of whom each was closer to when they were younger?) That their first coherent communication was “I missed you” to their parents? You delivered a first class, ugly cry reunion, @kbois , lol; Thank you. 🎁 Do the Larabees care that their sons’ mates were same sex? Was there any indication Ashton and/or Austin were gay before they were kidnapped? “Weren’t they going to get poked and prodded? He was confused. Someone always gave them a thorough exam whenever he and Austin were sold. One of which always required them to strip down to be pinched and poked all over.” ☹️ For me, this passage brought home the fact it’s been eight years Ashton and Austin were trafficked….there are horrors to overcome, the only consolation is that A&A are alive and in the best possible surroundings to recover….as much as their mates and parents are the foundation for that, speaking to other survivors will help to heal as well. I forget if Ashton was the mischievous one or extrovert, he seems to be the lens both boys reaction are viewed from, maybe he was born first? I still have more to say, lol but I also have more to do so part II on the way….

What do Ashton and Austin’s wolves want to do to their mates in their partial ferality? Would they dominate them? Destroy them?

Great song, great artist 🪦

More violent and painful than Trevor? Aye ✋

“An American Werewolf in London”? Oh wait, you did say “wolf-human friendly story”, never mind, lol. And it’s a film, oops. 😬

When I got to the story and saw there were already three pages: LOL!!

As painful as his demise was, he still didn’t suffer enough. I thought that was so mean too, lol!! I give Corbin the benefit of the doubt, he’s been trying so hard in a situation he’s clearly out of his depth to handle-even with that, it is he who basically saved whatever humanity Ashton and Austin still have.

Holy Moly. What fresh hell is this?!?! There is light at the end of the tunnel but there’s a lot to do to get there. In spite of the challenges, a bond has already been forged between the mates that is strengthening….I look forward to double A’s reunion with their parents.

You’ll laugh too (and should pat yourself on the back); it’s good stuff.

This chapter contains some of the funniest scenes you’ve ever written: The “gangbang” in Shane’s bed, anytime Kurt says “gross” and DAKS’ reaction to AARP coming to the pool party: I watched the old men take off their shirts, followed by their pants, only to find each and every one of them had worn bikini bottoms! “Nooooo,” Aaron moaned. Drew and Kurt took one look at the situation and swam to the ladder as fast as they could; joining Aaron and I by the French doors. Kurt rubbed his face, “What the fuck is happening? I’m so confused.” I laugh hard every time I’ve reread this chapter.

Never hurts to clear things up.

So was I. I didn’t add an “lol” or smiley face so forgive me if you took me seriously.

Well….considering @kbois mentioned Jay several times herself in her story, Ima say no.

My fellow readers are blowing me away with their comments for this chapter. “The whole thing had a prodigal son feel. “ Such a profoundly true statement.

“The guys and I want to go into the stands and see what’s happening. Can you watch the girls?” I blanch. “There are seven minutes left in a tied game!” Loren rolls his eyes. “Maeve is sleeping and Maci is so fucking tired. I can’t take them with me.” I glare at him for having the audacity to ask such a thing during the most insane game I’ve watched in years. I don’t have time to go toe-to-toe with him. He’s too stubborn and I don’t want to miss any more than I already have. I lean back and look past dad. “Mom,” I whine.

I loooooove baby bitches (in the best way, LOL!!) It shouldn’t be a given that every child will take to everyone and like you, I agree they shouldn’t be forced….when a baby bitch grants you acceptance (if you ever make the grade), HUUUUNNNNAAAAYYYY.
