I agree with you that Wen is far from being the biblical type, but he thinks that because his parents were wronged, he's in the right to wrong others, too. I've seen this sort of logic before - it's weird, and it's not logical, but it exists. Hearst will have a game to play. He's a smart kid. Have faith in him

I don't fear spoilers when I say that Hearst will play an important role in solving the situation. And Jamie will have to see his Cottontail in his true light

Chapter Forty-Eight – Ill-Timed Confessions The nerve of that guy. Jamie couldn’t stop the muscle tic in his jaw as he walked backstage after their little get-together with fans of the show. While Will, Anna, and the rest of the gang were busy coming up with a plan, he had been charged with keeping the crowd entertained. Although Jamie had plenty of experience with talking to strangers and entertaining them, he had been barely able to wait to be out of there. The bitter taste in his mouth w

That could be the incantation of a curse... may a gorgeous opera singer land on you and smother your face, lol. Oh, what could that special sauce be

The epic-ness is just starting! There will be plenty of more action!

Very nice comparison! And Vince as Artemis, that's nice! Thank you for following and commenting on my story! I've noticed for a while that my stories fail to follow a mold... maybe I just have too many wild ideas in my head, lol! But I'd never write a story that bores me, because I think it would bore the readers, too! Hence all the quirkiness that's sometimes overflowing... A lot of people loved Otis. I'm so glad

He's getting that rematch in today's chapter! How that ends, however... I'll let it be a surprise

Yep, yep, and yep! And this is all I'm going to say!

Happy 4th of July (late, but still). Playing possum... lol. Theo would get so mad to hear such a thing...

I believe that most of the questions you asked are readily answered in today's chapter. They all need to learn things about themselves, but Danny is the one who's going to learn the most about himself

Danny has hidden superpowers! He'll learn about them in due time.

Very well observed! He had trained to resist the weapon, so it wouldn't have been credible to have him die from only getting hit with it by a human and from quite the distance. Also, he's relevant to the plot!

Chapter Twenty – Good Value for the Money “So, you’re telling me that he should be dead, but he isn’t?” Danny asked, only to understand what sort of new predicament fate was preparing for them. Ever since the news told them that Theodore Pembroke was still breathing, he’d been in a state that felt powerful enough to make him lose his mind. “Vince did his best. But it’s not easy to take down an alpha. You need more than just the right weapon.” “Okay.” Danny ran his hands through h

Okay, and now to the resident analyst of Misaligned... please allow me to give you a nice badge that says that. I find it so interesting that you focused on that line from Alexander - keeping things to myself is wiser - that's a lesson learned. In the 'memory' chapters, Alexander will definitely come across as harsher than he is now. Alexander is the one character that shows the most numerous signs of growth. After all, Brad presents himself as the usual bro without a care in the world, while Lyn continues to have the same hang-ups that kept him - in some ways - in the same place for years. Lyn notices the changes, too. He sees Alexander now and his image of him from the past will suffer amends, without a doubt. We'll see where that leads. Ha-ha, and what an impression Bella made on the readers! The one who controls everything, down to the smallest details. She's good at keeping masks, at organizing her surroundings so that nothing goes to chance... does she sound a bit familiar? I'll let you ponder on this one (evil laughter in the background).

Yet Bradley submitted himself to her... could it be he's into it? (This is just me, throwing shrimps and red herrings everywhere)

So it might seem... but that's also something to be discovered.

Ahem, ahem... there might be something here... you will all meet Luke, guaranteed. I bet you'll be as surprised as Lyn.

Thank you, Chris!

Older siblings might feel responsible for the younger ones - but that also tells something about Bella's character. Alexander has his pet peeves, what can I say?

Hmm... interesting theory. @akascrubber described Bella as sharp, and they're right on the money on that one. So maybe Brad didn't exactly say that...

I have learned to commit to finishing stories So no worries! I will definitely finish it and have a resolution that - I like to think - will surprise everyone, and it will come across as satisfying. That's my pledge!

Oh gawd, I'm terrible... when I read the last line of your otherwise very serious and to the point comment, all I could think of was: yes, they do want to... get off... yeah, I know, bad joke, but I had to say it Alexander has learned from Lyn to keep quiet - that's the silent reproach here. Also, a realization on his part that he doesn't have to go in 'like a wrecking ball' because it might not get him what he wants. For now, Alexander is patient, Lyn is mostly oblivious, and Brad keeps secrets.

You're more than welcome But be ready to make a list of such chapters! This is really going to be filled with drama... Lyn senses something, but it's more like he sometimes just chooses to ignore the signs of the sake of a so-called 'peace'.

Chapter Ten – [Memory, Freshman Year, December] – The Bitter Taste of Humiliation The overcrowded burger joint buzzed with conversation as the last men and women standing – after their finals – were taking over the place to claim it as their own. The heat from the kitchen reached where they were sitting, making Lyn feel like his bones were melting. He had no plans for Christmas and New Year’s yet, but he’d figure something out for sure. Maybe he’d sell the belt his mom had given him after a

They will get there... but they will have a few more bridges to cross!
