Because he is stuck in the past..it doesn't seem to register that they have changed ..that they are not the same people they were 8 years ago !.His mind set is still stuck on that man whore version of Alexander from College .

I agree ..lately @Laura S. Fox is leaning into allegory like crazy...especially with this story!..So one has to re-read a chapter in order to be able to understand 😂

I can imagine you were chuckling all the time!

If I didn't know better would say it's @vanalas's fetish....like Vanalas gets off seeing his main characters subjected to the worst humiliation,cruelty and despair 😂😂

You couldn't have stated it better ..we are damned if we do and damned if we don't ...I remember the first story @vanalas wrote here..the one of Praveen...I wanted to stop reading because the other main lead was being a git....my resolve lasted a few days before went back to read ..and back then Vanalas was updating regularly..even twice in a week😂

Did you miss the part where Alexander was once the main character in Lynton 's fantasies😀😂...

He is dense..lol. Alexander even told him so😂

That's why this story has to rank among the best Laura has written ...it's like a movie..each chapter bringing more clarification.. Alexander genuinely cares and am inclined to believe too that he has loved Lynton from the onset.. @Laura S. Fox is right....Lyn is DENSE...a fact that Alexander calls him out for in this chapter . Twice.. This chapter showed yet another facet of Lyn ..the macho posturing ...him fighting so hard to deny himself the enjoyment he is deriving from Alexander's fellatio. This lad has masked himself so tightly ...chances of illumination happening seem slim..eh.. Thank you @Laura S. Fox...I can always count on your making my week enjoyable with the 3 stories of yours that am currently following. Blessed Weekend to you ....till next week

There is a song in my country...well the plot is about this woman who likes me a man who likes another woman yet that other woman likes another man...reading the chapter was nostalgic since that song was a hit when it aired back in 2012 in my country...It's kind of a cautionary tale about liking someone who might just not be that into you😂

Sometimes being blunt saves times...it helps sift through the bullshit(pardon my language)😂

@vanalas...your 'cruelty' has no limits...you give us a family finally reunited ..only to take it away.. I love your work really...but there is a pattern that have noticed that is kind of a pet peeve for me. I know it's a story...fiction and we are supposed to suspend disbelief but there is only so much we can suspend😂..I do not know if the law system in your universe has rules but this last scene is a bit ...over the top. You prefer to use the class system trope in your works but even you outdid yourself this time with Elijah taking away Rain from his legal father. I do not know from which part of the world you come from, but am inclined to believe something like that does not happen..I come from Uganda,East Africa but even a rich person wouldn't trample on a poor person like you potrayed Elijah at the JaNoah(that's the name am going with in my head😂).. The other pet peeve is sometimes you make your characters become caricatures(Elijah) ..and all the other egomaniacs you have written over the years....Now that am done expressing my frustration with yours truly .. I like the way Jace realized he was wrong and even though it seemed rushed and not earned ..You gave him depth ..someone who is flawed and recognises that they are flawed. I am inclined to believe the coming few weeks are going to take us on a journey with JaNoah and I for one am excited . Thank you for this update and looking forward to next week. Blessed weekend to you!

How apocalyptic!😂

Two chapters updates in the same week!..whoa..my weekend couldn't have started any better..Even though some of us were on the AlaWolf(Alarik+Wolf) and Alajus(Alarik/Justin) ships ...the direction you have taken or are taking is even more satisfactory..I mean them being friends with a Mentor-mentee relationship.. Thank you!...Blessed weekend

It's fiction Sir, so we are supposed to suspend disbelief😂...and you are right ...the protagonists here have a mind set that rivals that of mature people than that of ordinary teens of the same age ..God..at 14..I had not even had my own sexual awakening..leave alone understand the world around me..hihi ..and these boys have already had their self acceptance moments and in the case of Jack, even had a relationship before..eh

My .oh.my..I like me a hero who is both compassionate and ruthless like Andrew Carter..eh

Don't have much to say this time around ...other than saying Jamie is being an asshole ...at least for the last two chapters or so...Granted Hearst omitted telling him about himself but he himself told Hearst to tell him when he was ready..Hearst even warned him against joining the show but what did he do?..He thought his street bravado and charm would pull him through like it had done many times before...and when it blew in his face ..he is being sort of a douchebag about it and projecting his self inflicted failure onto Hearst!.. @Laura S. Fox... am I allowed to transmigrate and give him(Jamie) a piece of my sassy mind .He is being a mighty heel to Hearst....let me go take a cold pitcher of water lest I self combust in anger 😂😂 Thank you!

It's going to be.complicated ..that is one thing for sure

Am glad you are sharing this really...am inclined to believe that you have achieved healing from that.. Bruno is like Sauron from the Lord of the Rings books....he is on the periphery of the main action and yet his malevolence is felt by everyone...That scene between Daniel and Lucian drives this point home like nothing else....they are brothers and you would expect them to try to connect in his absence but what do we have instead....Lucian being prickly ..Daniel being meek...It was so sad!

That's why am sort of giving him a leeway....these are 14 yo after all....at that age there is an antagonist relationship between logic and hormones/emotions..

You know how @vanalas revels in creating such despicable characters....sometimes I think it is a fetish of Vanalas😂😂😂

Eh...you are even more brutal than me when it comes to that particular git😀😀

Eh ..you want us to riot?😂😂..am sure we will savour it more when the romance ball starts rolling ..

Eh...that was brutal... You remember the first chapter ...he was looking forward to making friends..he has bullied in his former school.

Bruno really messed up these lads..the lack of self worth and agency that Daniel has. Lucian has so much self hate that he passes off as confidence... Reading this chapter left me feeling bleak. Like have you ever read a story and there was that one character that rubbed you all sorts of wrong and you wished to do some sort of cleansing after reading ..well for me it's Bruno. I find myself wishing for him to have his just deserts at the end ...and the most fitting end for such a person is to end up alone and utterly stripped of the power he used to control others...see how he has made me so angsty yet he is just a story character 😂😂 I cannot even begin to imagine your headspace when you are writing the chapters both before and after..eh. Thank you for the update!

I understand the autism spectrum..so Asperger's is not new to me ...Plus the medication he is taking ...seems like it alleviates his anxiety......I agree pairing him with Nick is good....they are both sort of broken...notice how Nick has low self esteem...as though he is adrift...so he is eager to please and belong...they will be good for each other indeed
