Chapter Twenty-Four – [Memory, March, Sophomore Year] – You Are My Friend Lyn felt like a fish out of the water in the library hall where the spring honors mixer was being held. Although he had met posher and more pretentious fuckers in his life, the mix of envy and forced politeness between the sophomores and the seniors that behaved like they owned the place made him feel like he’d just been dropped into a den of lions. He and Alexander weren’t the only students with a competitive sp

Summary: An alpha without a pack is like a house without a roof. Theodore Pembroke has lived for years with only vengeance in his heart.

We all know there was enough room on that door, Rose! -
Of course, and Lyn's POV is meant to hurt... we are in his head, after all.
-
Oh, he might just do that... (I mean the messing up...)
-
I think you've summed it up well, especially the part about Alexander having more sycophants or envious people around him than someone who truly sees him. Lyn goes head to head with him, not cutting him any slack. Lyn is neither admiring him, nor is he envious of him. That's a winner in Alexander's book.
-
Oh, I think there will be more mirroring moments! That's how I feel now, at least... Lyn never forgets kindness, especially from Alexander. That's why they slip in the familiarity they've always shared almost from the beginning of this vacation. So yes, it's recognition. Alexander is a true miser when it comes to the precious moments when Lyn is his alone... of course he'd ask that And the kiss parallel, yes! Lyn might lie to himself all he wants... the heart just doesn't work that way.
-
I know @LeeSA expresses the same thing you mentioned when we were only severed chapters in. Brad's mask is strong... or Lyn - since it's his point of view - has limited view of him, hence modeling the readers' perception of him. Yet... @Cane23 you do see the duality in him. The 'out' and glimpses of the 'in'. Well, it's my purpose to have your mind blown with the end of the story, so I'll shut up now. A bad habit he can't quit... in a way, I think that's true. That last line... oh
-
Alexander uses the word 'smart' as in intellectual smart. The meaning is there, and Lyn perceives it as such. So Alexander is challenging Lyn to take a moment to 'think' of what is going on. Emotional hang-ups prevent Lyn from doing that, of course.
-
He did see something. He just wasn't there... or ready.
-
Oh, yes, he had to run... I know I would have, lol - albeit at a younger age than Lyn's. Lyn is not only taking from Alexander's friendship; he also gives back. And that's what I wanted to show here. I know you will be struggling with Brad throughout the story... He's not the easiest character to write, trust me. Since I'm a true believer of the 'show, don't tell' advice, I will not tell the readers anything directly. At the end of the story, I'm sure readers will have a wide spread of opinions on Brad
-
Yes, it was intense. I know I have to dig deep into feelings I've only experienced more than three decades ago in my life, but I think that when it's real, and you're new to it (falling in love), you do need space or else your chest feels like it might just burst.
-
Thank you for this comment! I know it's easy to dismiss Lyn for being unfeeling toward Alexander, but the role of the memory chapters is to establish their history together. And Lyn wanted Alexander's friendship back so badly that he put in the work. Also, he did realize he hurt Alexander, so... I hope his apology was well-received
-
It's perfect as it is!
-
Who ever said Lyn is holding himself to the same standard as the rest, lol!
-
Oh, yes, he was His mind might have refused to form a rational thought about it, but the rest of him was in the right place.
-
I can see readers grabbing pitchforks at one point, lol.
-
Come on... he did figure it out a little! that's how he knew he should kiss Alexander to make up. But of course, that was how far he went...
-
Oh, it was sweet for sure

Chapter Twenty-Three – Secrets Between Us Alexander pulled him up and pressed him against the wall, kissing him hard. Lyn moved like it had all been choreographed by a skilled dancer for him to follow along. He hooked his arms around Alexander’s neck and pulled himself up, wrapping his legs around the strong body dominating his. The way his cock was twitching like mad only confirmed the impossible sexual attraction he felt toward his old friend from college. Damn, Alexander could kiss.

Their minds are already full, I'd say!

Oh, lol, I talked about the bracelet being an anchor earlier, without re-reading this comment... Yes, we used the same word!
-
I'm going to repeat myself, but I love this... Lyn does see Alexander, too! Yes, he doesn't believe there are feelings involved - not yet - but he knows how Alexander grew up. Since he was not a stranger to that world - more on that later - he isn't like Brad, in awe of Alexander's status and money. They go head to head as equal when they get involved in their usual banter. That's part of what Alexander appreciates about Lyn. The bracelet is an anchor. So happy you noticed it in this chapter!
