I've never had a martini so I've no idea whether gin or vodka is best - but I know what gin smells like and I don't like that so you can guess which way I'm leaning! Anyway back to the story... The Russian (easier to write than having to remember how to spell his name) sounds like a right fucker - I'm glad Calum dealt with him! I'm pretty sure neither Ozzie or CJ would follow him (Russkie) or anyone else out of a club for a quickie not unless there was some drugging involved! Sounds like Linc & Calum will definitely be hooking up - also sounds like Calum is deffo an agressive top, I wonder how Linc will deal with that? So nice of the guys to think of giving Lupe one of their spare tech items - the fact she didn't know to use one says so much about how little we all know how other nations who don't have the same infrastructure as our own home nation actually deal with things like that. I'm sure Infanta will protest at first but will eventually give in and let Lupe have it - maybe the lack of home broadband should be solved by letting her use it while she's at CJ/Ozzie's place. I'm looking forward to next Friday already @Carlos Hazday!

Mmm - human sacrifice as a story twist, now that would be a leap in the dark for you and your many devoted followers. CJ (or Ozzie) would have to be majorly pissed off to go down that road methinks! Though I can see Simmone and/or Linc organising some sort of mutiny if Northman causes our boys any trouble!

Oh definitely not but he won't be able to do or say anything that will get back to the Ambassador - he will be far more subtle I'm sure.

Yeah having an Orange supporter as your boss must be a bit of a pain in the neck but then CJ has already got Madam Ambassador on side so I can't see Stephens being that much of a problem.

I think we may even be getting one tomorrow as well! But then I suspect we'll be back to only Fridays.

To paraphrase a well known chocolate product advert "Oh Mr Hazday you are spoiling us with all these chapters"! 😄 (I don't even know if you can get those chocolates outside of Europe!)

Great to see the Abello/Liston family back again and that you're obviously feeling in a productive mood @Carlos Hazdaywith chapters promised for consecutive days. I'm glad we're finally getting the story of what happened to them whilst CJ was posted in Mexico. While it's just a normal chilly Thursday here in the UK may I wish all readers from the USA a very happy Thanksgiving. Mark

I'm so glad Eric has finally bitten the proverbial bullet and made contact with Rob though leaving us in the middle of that coversation was very mean @northie! Things are gradually coming together for everyone; Andy & Adam getting married, Eric & Rob reviving an old acquaintance that may lead to something else, Felicity hopefully getting rid of Oliver to name but a few plot strands that are in the works. Great story and I'm glad I've caught up with it over the last week or so. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

If you love reading shifter stories then you definitely need to read this one! We meet Cyn, a Cernunnos - deer shifter, who lives with their version of a pack - constantly on the move, always in fear of being hunted; of being prey. I won't give too much away in this review (I hate spoilers in these sort of things) but suffice to say there is happiness, sadness, peril, love & joy all in some measure. Cyn gets to meet a wide variety of other shifters and some are not as friendly as they first seem to be. Don't forget to comment as you read through the story and @astone2292(the author of this and other excellent stories) usually responds with a comment and/or a click on the "like" button.

Well I wasn't expecting that! What a lovely ending to this story that I can't believe started all the way back in January! I'm so glad that Cyn got to meet his school friends after all this time. @astone2292okay we'll give you some time off to recover from the last 11 months of writing this story but we fully expect either a sequel (or even a prequel)!

Wow @garfwizI wasn't expecting the next chapter so soon! Great chapter - what a tangled web of deceit has been woven just to keep the Red Wolf Pack from existing and claiming their rightful heritage. Tala is going to have a headache when he tries to unravel all the issues! Great chapter - really looking forward to where you take us next.

@garfwizI can't wait for the next chapter to see what Tala does next! Great story - hopefully the chapters will appear a bit more regularly? (Day job & everyday life allowing of course!)

I so want to visit Ravello! Absolutely fantastic series of stories @James Carnarvon. If you do write any more Ravello stories I'll definitely be reading them.

Oh WOW! @Ronyxwhat a superb story. I am so sad it has come to an end but such a great end - just at the right point where we can see a great life ahead for Matt & Troy and Hayden without more chapters. Not that I'm saying we wouldn't love more chapters as we would but it just leaves enough threads left unfinished that we can then finish them in our own imaginations.

Another great chapter @astone2292 A pity there's no lycan version of the Phantom Zone (where Krypton's criminals & political prisoners were sent) - but then there's always the risk of someone escaping........

I've only been to Venice - just a very short visit as the final destination of a 2 week school cruise on the SS Uganda, way back in late October 1979, before we flew home from Marco Polo Airport - so I don't really know Italy at all; but I love your superb descriptions of Ravello and the Amalfi coastal area. I can almost smell the lemons as they grow on the trees. Dani is going to be a great "hero" in whatever way it happens - you've left a couple of future plot lines open in this chapter which I'm sure you'll develop as we go forward with Dani on his adventures. I'm very much looking forward to the next chapter.

What an absolutely fantastic story - I so want to visit Ravello! I can see all of your characters in my mind from Nonna all the way down to Ennio and Alfredo. I'm really looking forward to reading the next story in the Ravello series - keep up the great work @James Carnarvon.

Yeah, me too. Even more concerning he last visited GA on 25th October!

Mike? - I think you mean Larry!

It's just as bad here in the UK though the information I could find was on "young" people - classed as aged 16 to 24 so an older age range than we're dealing with in this story but still far too many! https://centrepoint.org.uk/about-us/blog/how-many-young-people-are-homeless-in-the-uk/#

I'm glad that Eike has now been captured and that Cyn is safe though it may take him a while to recover, physically and mentally - but Shea will be there to help his mate. Hopefully all of the predator lycans who oppose the protection of all those they consider to be prey will now be dealt with! Great story @astone2292.

Awesome story @Altimexis.

I think Dante may become an issue between Jonathan, Lachlan & to some extent Thomas - though I'd love to have a ride on Dante's Ducati (euphemism intended)! I'm pretty sure Craig didn't help his grandfather towards his end, maybe Romel did but it could still be somebody else (Rosemary?). We don't have any assisted suicide legislation in the UK and I don't see it happening any time soon with MPs not supporting it in opposition to opinion polls that say the public do (even with the obvious safeguards in place). Another great chapter @Wombat Bill

It's taken me roughly two weeks to read all 3 completed books and the 3 side salads and now I'm up to date on book 4. It's been a right roller-coaster of emotions with everything that has happened to all the protagonists that @Wombat Billhas introduced to us and I've loved every minute. Of course now that I'm up-to-date I'm just wondering when the next chapter will appear? Will Craig discover how his grandfather died (and by whose hands); what/who will Dante get up to next (there's no-one left at Crystalline that he hasn't had his way with); where will Edward's writing lead him and will all his friends recognise themselves in his "fictional" tales? These questions and many others will be answered in the next exciting instalment of CWB4 (Young & Hungry for Life).

Oh @Grumpy Bear, @Grumpy Bearwherefore art thou oh @Grumpy Bear?
