Great start to the New Year @Carlos Hazday. I think Mr Fanning (senior - to differentiate from his son whom we have yet to meet) is soing to be in a whole heap of do-do with his wife let alone his son and daughter! Will you be posting future chapters on your usual Friday?

Mmmm, let me think............................................................................... I say you toss her a bone - after all (as per the story) "Revenge Is Sweet" or "Payback is a Bitch" could come back to haunt you!!

Oh, it was great to "see" Terry again - thanks @astone2292for including him. As for Kage - THANKYOU @kbois, this answers at least one of the "loose" ends (i.e. is Kage still "alive" somewhere; is he still looking after Elijah (and Tyler by association); does Kage know some of what is going on in the real world; does Kage know about Ashton & Austin). Wow, Kage is E's Guardian and by winning this bizarre game he gets to carry on in that role (as long as E lives?). Can't wait for the next chapter!!

Great Scot! A collaboration between @kbois& @astone2292- what a superb Christmas present! Though I bet @Mrsgnomieisn't going to be happy!! Unless she gets a star part in the story! I'm looking forward to seeing how you fit us all in.

Whatever I was expecting to have happened to Scoot it certainly wasn't that! Still a great story! Can't believe it's taken me so long to actually get around to finish reading it.

I'm guessing it's Zac!

I know I must have read this story a while ago as I've put reactions on all the chapters, but I don't remember when! What an absolutely fantastic story - heart-rendingly tragic and knowing such things still happen today is appalling! A family ripped apart and almost destroyed before we get the HEA that this story deserved. To know that some nations in this world believe you should be put to death just because of who you love is completely wrong. I've read it end-to-end today and I just couldn't stop reading! @Dodgeryou greatly deserve your promtion to Signature Author!

Not necessarily! Much like the entrance to Narnia is not always through the back of that wardrobe! Or The Room of Requirement (Harry Potter) - appears when it is needed. So the entrance to The Korner will be wherever you need it to be.

@FanLit - single occupancy Korners are 100% available. They're just over there, go through that door and then 2nd star to the right and straight on 'til morning!

@weinerdogwhat goes on in the Korner stays in the Korner!!!!!!

We definitely need to be able to give more than 5 stars, especially to a story such as this - it's definitely worth at least a TEN! If you haven't read the first story (Spirit Wolves) in this (yet to be completed) trilogy then get the hell away from this part and go and read that one first! (Otherwise most of this story will not make any sense!!) I'm not going to give any plot spoilers but suffice it to say that your emotions will be up and down and all over the place and that's just in Chapter 1!! When you read the chapter comments you'll get to meet The Korner Krew (yes, I'm a member) and you'll soon work out why we exist!! @kbois is having a rest before getting to grips with the final part of this trilogy which won't be posted until it's ready, so you will have a couple of months (at least) to read (or re-read) both Spirit Wolves & Shadow Effect. Don't forget to use the reactions, comment, review & use the recommendations button too! P.S. @Mrsgnomie@astone2292and @Danilo Syrtisall deserve praise for their editing & beta-reading - they join in on the comments too.

And there we have it folks, that's the end of book 2 and of course it's on a big cliffie! Well done @kbois for managing to get this posted today despite whatever Madame Nicole threw at you ❤️ @Mrsgnomiemust be over the moon with Caleb delivering the news “We discovered a cure for the hybrids!” - and that really is great news. I've just had an epiphany and I think I know what's going to happen in Book3! So, here's what I think:- ****************** THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN REDACTED BY ORDER OF THE SUPREME ALPHA @kbois******************** Well, I did try folks! Now @kboisyou need to rest and get all your story threads sorted before you start posting Book 3! I'm sure @Mrsgnomie@astone2292 & her lovable geek @Danilo Syrtisare all looking forward to a rest too!

Lucifer’s lips caressed his temple. “I missed you too, mon petit chaud lapin.” My little hot flame. French was sexy to begin with. French dripping off Lucifer’s tongue? More, s'il vous plaît. Thank you very much. mon petit chaud lapin = my little hot bunny My little hot flame = Ma petite flamme chaude That's how far I've got in reading this story, after just having read the first two chapters - C'est tres bon Alpha Suprême @kbois.

@kbois you do what you need to do to keep yourself and everyone else safe and don't worry about us - we'll cope without our Saturday fix if necessary! Congratulations on your promotion to Promising Author - well deserved! I've just been awarded Grand Master Scribe status so it's been a day for awards! Anyway, this story is really hotting up to the denouement with KH but still some loose ends remain to be cleared up, hopefully in the next chapter, but I suspect some will inevitably carry over in to the next story which will feature our currently very melancholic ex-alpha Caleb.

I think you're probably both right - as the definition I've found is:- "Enya, or Eithne, means “kernel of a nut or seed”, but it may also be related to the name Aidan, meaning “little fire”. But it does depend where you look on the internet!

I think @weinerdogmay well have a view on that!!

Saturday will be here all too soon - both myself & Dad have our 4th Covid jab and our seasonal flu jab (both jabs being delivered simultaneously). And then I'll be able to read Chapter 38!

Don't be scared @weinerdog, I'm sure @kbois wouldn't hurt you (too much!).

That's just asking for @Mrsgnomieto come and hunt you down by dissing on Caleb! How could you?

Now then, dear reader, you are about to embark (assuming you've read the first two parts - Boss Nanny & Jay's Loelife) on the best "ending" to a story arc you could imagine! (Note - I put ending in " " due to the fact that while we may not see all of these characters again the story is due to carry on when @Mrsgnomiefinishes it! - due for publication in 2023)! Please be prepared to shed some tears when you read this Epic-logue!!

Probably more like 23 hours from now - 3pm GMT here in the UK!

New Year:- Chinese - sometime between January 21 & February 21 (dependant on lunar cycle) Babylonian - sometime in March Iranian - March 20th/21st or just check here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year There's lots of different religious calendars starting at various points during the "year" (however that is defined, as it's not necessarily 365 days).

All depends which calendar you use! So for some of our fellow readers it will be later this year!

Surely it was in @Mrsgnomie's online picture folder?

I've read it and yes I did cry! Thankyou @Mrsgnomiefor this wonderful epic-logue! I think here is where it's best to leave Loren, Jay, Maeve & Maci (and all the others too many to mention) - I'm sure each of us will be able to continue the story in our own minds. We wouldn't want to make the same mistake as the creators of Dallas did by bringing it back with the original chidren (John Ross & Christopher Ewing) as the main protagonists - it just didn't work! So even if @Mrsgnomiewas to find a way of jumping forward a few more years for the kids at school & college - would that really work? I'm not saying you shouldn't try though (hint, hint)!!!!!!!!
