If he wasn't really pregnant before, he'd definitely have gotten pregnant now. 🤣

Wild that they might have a whelp. But I'm happy for them either way.

Emery is happy again, so I am happy.

Most kids are resilient. They also can think out of the box.

All I can say is poor Emery must be losing his mind about now.

Then, I take it he was always a magnet for lightning?

'We just have to somehow pull off the biggest evasive maneuver we've ever done.' - I like how Owin thinks. 'No, not in this case, Rhy-fry. A white-scaled wyvern in the sky? That'd be a beacon no one would be able to resist.' - He has a point. I'm relieved and happy for Emery that he was able to get to Rhyad in time. My favorite character got the guy-er, the wyvern? I've nothing to complain about.

As I thought, their parents are awful. 'Rutting riots in the Azure!' indeed.

"For once, I don't wish to hear what you have to say." - Uh-oh! Someone's not happy. But I don't blame him. "If you want him, then I suggest that you give it your all and show them both how you would be the better omega for Sepherus," he concluded as he managed to corral me right out the door and closed it. - LMAO! Oh no! I seriously can't blame him, but he should have let Rhyad get a few words out first. Was it alright to hope that he did care for me more than just as a pupil? - He does, obviously. He's just very jealous and upset at the moment. Keep trying, Rhyad. "Omega or not, you're gonna have to deal with the fact that you totally broke the Eld." - Lucio's adorable AND cheeky! While I don't like the idea of them heading back with their manipulative parents, I do like that Rhyad wrote that letter.

I thought the same!

Eld Emery was strong and gorgeous. He smelled so nice that I wanted to wrap him around me, just like the satin blanket I wrapped over my head and shoulders. - It's like he's sniffing catnip. That particular plant increased focus while dulling the effects of omegas in heat. Rutting riots, was I in heat? - I nearly laughed out loud while at work. Yes, Rhyad. You so are. Just stop staring at his nipples, Rhyad. - 🤣 Owin's golden-yellow eyes were as expressive as ever. I didn't even care that he was half glaring at me because he was finally back. - And the prodigal son returns! "I don't want to attend Troth Season."/"Neither do I. Glad that someone finally agrees with me," Owin grumbled. - 🤣 The brothers are a riot when they're together.

Did I like Eld Emery more? How could I have ever allowed myself to? - I could cry, I'm so happy. Favored by Dawn, no less! - Roll the credits? As much as I wanted to ask him what was wrong, the intensity of the change caught up with my body, and I found myself blacking out. - Poor Rhyad's forever passing out.

My stomach gave a strange flip at the contact, but I forced myself to ignore it. - Ah! No, don't ignore it! Give Emery a chance, even if it doesn't work out. He deserves it. My hand curled tighter around his in a return squeeze. Please allow me to help in some way or form. I owed him that and much more. - But at the same time, don't lead him on if you don't feel the same...I am way too invested in Emery's happiness right now. This is why I need to stop focusing so hard on my favorite characters. I bit my lower lip as a tendril of jealousy curled around my chest. He must have loved her dearly to want to step in like that. - Ah-ha! Yes! Hope!

The ebony wyvern was unusually quiet. When I turned my gaze back to him, his lavender eyes were already on me. I found no humor in them. In fact, I couldn't even decipher what I saw in them. - Uh-oh. I had a feeling Emery was trying to convey certain things this whole time. Now I'm anxious for him.

"I gave up the right to be an alpha when I chose to be Favored by Dusk."/Choosing to be Favored by Dusk meant a physical change from male to female or vice versa.- Wait, why is he telling him this? "If you accept this aged Scholar as he is, a Dusk beta, then I would be honored to extend your training until well after the Troth Season." - You sure that's all you're wanting to convey to him, Emery, buddy? 'Do you have any desire to someday fly by your own means?' - Emery always asking the important questions. Still the best character. 'Rhyad, tell me,' Emery coaxed. 'How often have your parents made you feel less in comparison to Owin?' - Emery always asking the important questions! (I say while motioning towards the screen in emphasis) I lowered my head in shame, curling my scarless wing around myself like a cocoon to hide. - That stabbed me in the heart just a bit. Don't listen to her, Rhyad.

"Now, would you please explain to me why it is that the mere thought of flying upsets you to the point of passing out?" - I knew I liked Emery the best! I was wondering the exact same thing. Owin's Scholars said that it's m-mental trauma that keeps me from flying. - Makes sense. Getting hit by lighting sounds traumatic enough.

Sepherus was Owin's mate. Owin's. - Uh-oh. Are the brothers going to be fighting over him? "Just what does Eld Emery have you doing out there, replanting the whole estate?"- Ha! Lucio's adorable. And hopefully we'll soon find out why flying stresses Rhyad to the point of blacking out.

Emery handed me a book bound in thick material with a fountain pen that was so ornate and intricate that my hand trembled as I held it. - Whatever you do, don't break or drop it! 🤣 Looks like Sepherus is also suspicious of their parents. Those alphas are sharp.

Well, I already have a favorite character. Emery's slick. I think he sees right through Rhyad's mother's machinations.

I have a whole list of stories I need to read, but I somehow ended up here, instead this morning. It's well past dawn, but I thought it was fitting. I really like the names thus far.

No rush on this, but you know I'm on board!

Get past the big warnings (which can even be skipped if the descriptions are too graphic or triggering) and you will become thoroughly invested in how Brendan's life turned upside-down in his search for answers. Definitely worth the read.

Forget awards, give him a supportive partner or a brilliant hobby or something substantial! (I say while hiding a 'justice for Nick picket poster')

Exactly! Nick deserves better. Spin-off story for Nick, please.

Now wait just a darn minute...how did Nick end up with the short end of the stick? As the youngest, I imagined him to be the most resilient. Not to mention, it was thanks to Nick they were all saved. Do we need a Nick spin-off story? I'm glad the others were fine, though, and that Jill was able to have kids of her own.
