Chapter 322

Hey all!!

Sorry for the disjointed updates. As a teacher, we just wrapped our end of year, and the last month of school is insane.

As I jumped back into Ben and Elara's story, I realized some timeline crossover and some continuity errors on my part as far as all of the connected stories are concerned.

I have spent the last three days reviewing Ryker and Kennedy's story and timeline, as well as Finn and Greta's story and timeline, to make it all make sense. As I get into the heart of Ben and Elara's story and plan for the rest of our friends at Crescent Moon, Dark Moon, and Black Claw, I wanted to make sure all of the details line up.

I have never written a female Alpha before and Elara has been so much fun, but also challenging to develop. My worlds run on a specific hierarchy, but gender norms have always been blurred. Ideas of love and relationships and what each one looks like. I love the concept of a female ruling naturally, because it is her birthright, not something she has to do to save anyone. But what that looks like to 'traditionalists' and more forward thinkers and how it affects the roles and ranks that each character has, with the specific instincts that go with those roles and ranks has been a fun process.

Thank you so much for sticking around on this crazy journey with me. New chapters will be up soon!
