Thank you for replying. I've read this story many times I should have realized that. I must have been brain dead last time through. I read this on ff and then followed when I found it here. I'm really glad you decided to continue this. This story is awesome. I read it over and over. Thanks again!

I have been reading this story even before you adopted it from the original creator of the drackens. I have followed it on both fansites and look forward to each and every chapter you create for us. It is my most favorite story to follow and if I could ever explain how I feel when I see it up for another chapter. This story is the reason I still read from fanfiction or even this site. I love this world you have brought to us and thank you for doing so. Please keep the new chapters coming for all of us loyal readers of yours. Thank you again for taking up the challenge and creating the world of the drackens for us.

I'm so glad you kept writing this story after that happened to you, it's so amazing! And you update so regularly, too! It's so refreshing to see an author so passionate about their story. It's always depressing seeing a great story die away... so much wasted potential. I just finished rereading it again to make sure I didn't miss any details the first time- I was absolutely devouring it.

*Spoilers! To those folks who are reading the comments before reading the newest chapter~*
I was getting so nervous as I was reaching the end of the chapter and Blaise had lost the game. I was worried he would be the one to betray them somehow. Even though it would be out of character... especially after he left the first time! I should have had faith, because right when you had me all worried you pulled the rug out from under me! How could Remus do that to Harry? Harry is the only thing Remus has left of his past, how could he just write him off like that? He knows he's the closest thing Harry's ever had to a father, right? I fully understand he deserves a chance to have his own family, but Harry has every right to be a part of that! I think I think I'm almost just as shocked and hurt as Harry is. But then I thought about it... didn't Harry kind of do something similar? Remus had to learn about Harry being mated to four strangers (two of which about his age) and had a baby on the way, way after the fact. Even though it was different for him because he was a Draken... Surely Remus must have thought about how this made him feel when it happened to him? Then he just throws it right back at Harry? Truly a plot twist I wasn't expecting...

I had thought for sure it would be Ashleigh that betrays them when you teased this chapter's name. Are we meant to like her character at all? Because honestly I'm right beside Harry on this one. You don't just forget someone is a victim of abuse. Her own longing for children (which seems to come from both her Draken and herself) is manifesting in a seriously disturbed way. I'm surprised she hasn't tried to kidnap Farren already, with the downward spiral she's on. I'm not sure how I feel about Max reaching out to her again. I feel like she's too close to doing something that's utterly unforgivable and irreversible to let her back into their lives now... But as much as I dislike her, it's very hard not to love Richard and Myron (who make an amazing couple on their own) so I can't want her to go away forever without those two going too. Actually, I'm not sure how her mates would respond if she actually tried something. Would they take Harry's side? If she did something terrible? I'm honestly not sure... The whole relationship has me so conflicted!

And I'm bursting with curiously about Nasta's plan... I was rooting for Harry to kill that women, if not only to establish to others that his family was not to be messed with, but also because she seemed like a terrible person, leaving her kids like that and calling her deceased mate weak. Anyone else would have been a better choice to raise her kids properly then her. These last two chapters have had me on an emotional roller coaster... :)

Sorry for the long review. The world you created is so interesting it's hard not to get sucked in. ^_^

This was a very intense chapter with a lot going on in it. I'm glad that Harry and Braiden are all right and that his mates responded to him quickly. Harry has a very big, very forgiving heart (which is what makes him Harry), but I can't help but agree with him later in the chapter--I worry that letting "Mossy" off the hook may encourage her to strike again. I hope not because poor Harry has quite enough stress at the moment, but she appears unstable and that makes her an unknown variable.

Remus, Remus, Remus. :sigh: You know, I wonder sometimes what JKR was thinking when she wrote him. He's obviously a very complex, conflicted character and the werewolf issue is at the center of his life, influencing many of his decisions. Maybe he thought he was protecting Harry? I don't know. I'm probably the wrong person to ask. I get upset if a family member has a simple out-patient surgery procedure without telling me--let alone something life changing like getting married and having children.

Finally, I wish people would just stop whining about Draco fathering children. Harry has six beautiful, special children. Whether they mean to or not, by constantly talking about Draco getting a chance to "be a father" they are implying that he isn't the father of Harry's six children. I know these are fictional characters, but that's insulting and rude. He is just as much Braiden's father as Blaise is (or Max or Nasta). I would hope to the hundred little gods that if, heaven forfend, Calix (just for instance) *died* that Draco would grieve just as much as his biological parents. To say that he wouldn't or that he couldn't belittles his role in their mateship.

Right. Carry on, Star. Excellent work.

I totally understand Harry's feelings of betrayal, My dad did the exact same thing to me and my sister. Got married and had a kid without telling us. He was coming for Christmas and he's all I'm bring my Wife, and our 5 month old son with me, that OK? I was only 7 and my parents had only been apart like a year and a half. I was heartbroken just like Harry.
