This chapter went through some pretty intense rewriting before being sent off to editing. The last chapters are in the process of going from super-rough draft to something I can send over for editing.
The hardest part of writing this story for me was the fact that I wrote it so quickly, a lot of major issues were missed or skimmed over. Especially the last 10 chapters. I may have to add a chapter or two to properly resolve the things that have to be addressed. I'm trying to figure it out now. The bones are there, I just gotta add the meat. Lol
Navigating their relationships is going to be like walking a tightrope with no safety net. Right now we have no idea what the twins have gone through and what they're thinking as far as having mates is concerned.
They need to break through the communication barrier and figure it out so Ashton and Austin can get the help they need. Sebastian was spot on in having the foresight to bring in therapists. All four of them are going to need it.
Stuart was reacting to the overall situation. He saw it as an injustice. In real life there will always be a Stuart somewhere in the mix. I try to bring some believability to my secondary characters when I can. People (and shifters) often jump to conclusions and are reactive rather than proactive. I see it everyday.
The only ones who would really know if Kage was a descendant of the Guardian's would be Cassiel or the king.
SO, I imagine you might be on the right track with E and T's future plans.
The twins aren't feral, but they have been isolated from other shifters for a long time. Considering they lost their entire teenage years, I'd be worried if I was Elijah and Tyler. They missed an important social development stage of their lives. It's going to take patience from E and T to help them reintegrate back into pack life, which they know only the basics. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
Elijah’s brain refused to process the information bomb. He stared as Tyler wobbled before collapsing to the floor. It was like watching one of those inflatable wavy-tube-man things deflate in a horrifyingly satisfying way.
Mates? What the hell was Giles talking about? How could he be mates with one of the twins? How could Tyler be mates with the other? Wait, which one was his and which one was Tyler’s? Elijah shook his head to clear it, with no success.
Giles reached Tyler first, gentl

If y'all just mosey on back into the corner where you belong, I can get the chapter posted.
But no.... you comment, I squirrel.
Get back in your corner and
Mrs. Doubtfire? Totally on-board with pretty much anything Robin Williams.
10k+ words? WTF were you smoking? Gnomieweed?
For the sake of a certain top secret project, and considering this was your first story, I will refrain from tracking you down and beating some grammatical sense into you, especially knowing that he-who-shall-not-be-named has already sunk his red pen into you. 🤣🤣
Great chapter, I rather like these two characters.
Homecoming is football related. It's a designated game, usually against a well-known rival where college (or high school) alumni show up in droves. Most colleges have sanctioned events scheduled for the weekend. High schools typically have a dance similar to prom, just a little less formal.
College towns tend to get rather busy and chaotic. I don't blame @Fae Briona for wanting to hide.
