Hello!

  Umm... yeah, I'm pretty sure I promised someone that I wasn't going to disappear and then I did (I'm sorry JMCA... if you're still following the story). But I just... sort fell out of love with the story.

  I wanted to make a career out of it, but after some point I genuinely didn't see any point in continuing. At some points, I tried to force our storylines and I feel like it resulted in something sub-par. So I stopped and focused on the other parts of my life. But unfinished storylines and different ideas for other series started popping into me head, so I slowly starting to write, falling into a style that isn't as verbose but still got the point across.

  So yeah, I'm back. For how long and to what degree of reliability, time will tell. In terms of changes, I'm dropping Vanessa and Emilia's storylines. If that disappoints you, let me know, and if it doesn't, great. If there is interest in it, I might have Book 3 or some future volume written completely from their point of view, but as of now, they're gone. If you're wondering why, its because it was over ambitious of me in the first place to try and juggle 4 storylines and make them all unique and interesting. For example, Vanessa's storyline has too much overlap with Liam's and Rohan's (the two of which already share many similarities). So moving forward, it's going to focus exclusively on Liam and Rohan's point of view.

  If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  The scheduling of chapters is going to be a bit strange. I'm slow (well not mentally but I suppose that too) so I can't sustain a M-F release schedule. I'll probably release on a Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday schedule, and potentially release an extra chapter everytime we hit another hundred followers, and this will likely start May 24, 2025 at 12:05 pm E.S.T.

  To those who decide to continue the story, I hope it evolves into something you anticipate reading. For those who decide to leave the series, thank you for staying on this long in the first place. I'm sorry for disappearing.

  Cheers,
