I just came back to this. Kind of reminds me of Johnny Cash singing " When the man comes around" as a young man; cocky and strong, then his remake 40 years later as an old man, reflective and penitent. I read this a year ago and recently had some health issues come up for me and a family member die and the story hit life on all points. It's both an inspiration for the future and a reflection of the past. Well done

Wow, loved it! Idk who I feel worse for. The mindfucked Colin, the Enslaved Jay, or me who just read this while locked for Locktober.

I wondered how long will the next chapter be?

Need one for Daddy Parker having a flash back of his boy school days with his brother. They must have stories to tell, alone and maybe together. Because he was not able to tell Sammy his truth, that we all want to know about. And we want the Taylor’s son to get his fill of Sammy. Pay backs a bitch. And Sammy can Brake him if he really wants to. But I think they will be fuck buddie. Both Love to Top but will let a real Aplha they like top them.

can’t wait for the next installment! SO HOT

One of the best chapters of this story (I like the length and volume of chapters) better than the previous chapter. I hope the story is not finished and we will see more sex between Ian and Collin, where Jay watches and at the same time Collin uses dirty talk and becomes more and more perverted. But I also want to hope that Jay, seeing that the situation is getting worse with his boyfriend, somehow gets out of Ian's control (on his own because of anger or with the help of another person who found out everything by accident). I want to see the confrontation between Jay and Ian to save Collin and their life together. Will Jay succeed in doing this or not, of course, it's up to you, the author, to decide. But it would be nice for us readers to see two endings of the story: Good and Bad for Jay and Collin.

Don’t like this one, the younger did nothing to him. People just get greedy. you got what you wanted, by mind control. But to take his brother too, he needs the tables to turn on him.

Love it! Can't wait to see how much further Caleb can submit.

I think overall, Tom is making a very good point about all of this. He's been where Mullins is now to some extent- having lost the ability to be with his child- and he knows Mullins has literally lost to some extent his family, the stability of his life, is still clearly spiraling, and now just lost Zach due to pack politics. Pete can try to deny this all he wants and spank Tom as much as he wants and hope that somehow it'll all work out, but I really doubt that is going to happen- he might have spanked Tom, but he didn't deny anything he said- I think he knows there's a very real possibility of what could happen. Not to mention that last scene where Mullins seems to be going after somebody else...I really think he's starting to slip into trying to use short term pleasure to cope with everything. It's not going to end well. There's a darker aspect to Mountain Peaks now in that while it is still a means of refuge and livelihood for Yousef- it's literally a grave necessary for their survival in some ways. Nothing to be done about that though- it is what it is. Yousef's fear of what is occurring to his family and his tensions over his wolf self and what was before are well done- I think that Yousef's concerns are very valid in his discussion with Carlos- who is also clearly hurting from a loss. I think there's a somewhat eerie feeling in how Carlos seems to imply human loss and wolf loss are somehow...tiered? That the former is somehow lesser than the latter. Yousef clearly doesn't find that all that great- but I think Carlos is making a point that wolves and their dynamics are different from humans- and the loss in light of that can be more in certain ways. But Yosuef has a point that it shouldn't be a competition of grief between them either. Their discussion about how embracing the wolf doesn't mean abandoning what came before I think is very therapeutic for Yousef- and I think he makes it a point that bringing up past orientation at this point probably isn't going to help much. Larry on the other hand is nice for being angry about Toddson regarding what he said to Yosuef, but his interactions with the law enforcement are chilling in a different kind of way- fact is, Mullins did kill two men in cold blood and potentially ruined a man's life like what happened to him with Zach- self-preservation and wolfish instincts play a mitigating factor here, but there is a darkness here- so the officer has every right to figure out about these vanishings- these rangers and folk had loved ones- and the most insidious thing about the wolves is cutting people off from that. At the same time, Larry has a duty to keep the pack safe- if humans ever got their hands on them it wouldn't end well- so him scouting out this law enforcement agent to bring to their side makes tactical sense- the gun oil clue implies somebody was likely self-pleasuring- likely that agent. But that whole exchange has a very eerie feeling. The fact that the other two were Zach's cousins...there's something horribly tragic about that. Somewhere out there, there's a family who knows their sons are not coming home. Ultimately, the wolves had to do it to keep themselves safe- to keep the pack including those who didn't do this to not wind up being harmed- but it doesn't make the sting any less. The fact that there's amish wolves is fascinating because I honestly wonder how Anabaptist theology figures into that. The canadian wolves seem to likely congregate in remote areas of the country (which suddenly leaves me with a very eerie feeling considering british columbia and the highway of tears- an infamous stretch of highway in Eastern Canada where for years indigenous women mostly (but also men) have disappeared...usually due to the works of serial killers...) As for Yousef's thoughts, I find how he finds prayers to god yourself somewhat innapropriate. Theoloigcally in muslim scripture, there's many times prophets or individuals called upon god to give them things- Zakariah to have a son (John the Baptist) for instance- the wife of the pharaoh for safety from her husband etc. But I think this is in context moreso about not denying god's omnipotence- he already knows. Yet at the same time, an argument could be made that calling out show sincerity and devotion. At the same time, him being taught to pray for others shows a remarkable sense of maturity and kindness. Him invoking Luna in this context is somewhat interesting- though I see it less as him seeing Luna as a god beside god- but more a helpful spirit to ask for assistance for Carlos, in accordance with muslim beliefs. As for Mullins...he's clearly not okay, but he needs to get himself together. If he keeps doing things in the short-term, it's going to hurt everyone. Either that, or he's going to wind up with more blood on his hands. Worst case scenario, he's going to keep being reckless and they will all get found out. And frankly speaking- if that happens- he can kiss ever seeing his family again- they will likely look upon him as a monster who ruined families for his own pleasure, who sought out individuals to sate his own lust not caring of what happened to the other- becoming a figure akin to some of the serial killers of the late twentieth century in a way. There's a very insidious element to how Mullins clearly struggled with what happened to him but is more than happy to sate himself and cause that to others- maybe he believes it'll all work itself out- but he clearly is not okay. At the same time, it seems that the wolves are instinctly driven to find mondjugen to turn- but the outburst about how Mullins didn't vet the person implies there are rules for turning people- they don't just do it willy nilly- that he is clearly disregarding. Larry at least has the excuse that he may need to turn the law enforcement officer to keep everyone safe- but even if that were the case there's no reason to believe that said officer might not have plans of their own to either reform the means of obtaining mondjugen or something else once he becomes one- and Mullins right now needs to stop being so reckless.

Another one knocked out of the park.🎉
