#misae asks

My own mind: was Bill breeding the werewolves in captivity?

And if so, how did he justify that?

I’m praying he, Anaya and Eden will be safe even though I’m sure they won’t be🤞🏻

I hope so, Anon! Things have been kind of chaotic over here, which often doesn't bode well for my writing. But I do have the opening to the next chapter written, I just need to keep working on it.

A couple lines to tide you over:

Anaya's first coherent thought upon waking was that someone was breathing, warm and damp, against the back of her neck. Her second was that she was nearly hanging off the side of the bed, precariously balanced, pushed to the edge by a weight behind her.

"Eden?" She mumbled.

The nose that touched her nape did not feel right. It was damp, and cold.

And enormous.

A low, canine rumble felt like an earthquake moving from one body to another. A wolf's deep growl, right against her ear.

Consciousness came back all at once, and with it sheer mindless panic.

Anaya's eyes flew open.

Almost ;_;

I’m very interested to see where you take Koko, though! Poor guy, I wonder what his real name is.

As far as Austin and Bill go, well… I have a feeling Austin isn’t gonna be going to the city as he knows too much

It just posted yesterday, no biggie! I do like to dip into a villain POV, although Austin might be my most sympathetic villain yet.

Anon, I've been sitting on this since you sent it! Since the hurricane, my brain has struggled with doing ANYTHING further on any of my stories. Just stress things, I guess. But just about every day I've been coming back to look at this ask and just like... feel a little bit warmed by it.

So thank you for sending it.

9 for Anaya and Misae

4 for Jameson and Allyn

It was so hard choosing just a few of your awesome characters but I'm going with these six!!

Do they view their relationship as temporary or permanent?

That depends on when in the relationship and which one you ask. Jake always saw it as permanent. Once Kauri was willing and able to be with him, he never hesitated to believe that, because Kauri was always the Love of His Life, someone he had been pining after and in love with for years before they were ever able to really be together.

Kauri, on the other hand, wasn't as certain. He was sure it was temporary at first, because he was sure Jake would realize all the ways Owen had damaged him and not want him any longer. Kauri has never been wanted for KAURI, he was always meant to try and be someone else, a stand-in with Vince's face but with a sweeter obedience and neediness. So it took him a while to believe, even after they got together, that Jake could keep loving him for long after he moved in.

Now, he would believe it's permanent, but less strongly than Jake does. some part of him is still waiting for - and worried about - when Jake realizes Kauri isn't good enough for him.

What is one quality they have in common?

Misae and Anaya both have a kind of whimsicality and wonder in the world at heart. Anaya is a sweet, sardonic, and bright-eyed woman who can find beauty in just about anything, largely because she is determined to do so. Misae is a sweet kid who finds wonder in no small part because he just hasn't seen most things before.

Both of them are deeply kind in their natures, and compassionate. And both of them think Eden is the best man on earth. For very, very different reasons.

How would they describe each other if asked? Physically? In personality?

Allyn would tell you that Jameson is stubborn and strong, two things they deeply envy. They could never stand up against the misfortunes he has faced, they would have collapsed or cracked apart. They adore his wry, sarcastic dark humor and how wonderfully he takes commands in bed, letting them learn all about how good it feels to be the one giving the orders and enjoying just about anything they do. They find him wildly handsome, and love his dark hair that seems to be growing in softer now that it's all coming back.

Jameson would tell you that Allyn is incredible, and struggle to describe them to you because his awe doesn't really have words. When he says they are beautiful, he doesn't only mean on the outside, but he isn't sure how to elaborate. They're beautiful because they are soft, despite everything that has happened to them. He could never have survived with softness - he would have been drowned or lost hope. He loves that they are gentle and quiet and sweet but then turn wicked and pull his hair until it hurts. That they are a little indecisive everywhere but the bedroom, where they turn into a new person, someone he thinks is far closer to who they once were.
