Firstly I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for reading this story. I cannot express how much your support, the likes and comments mean to me.

I've had major surgery this year and my mental health hasn't been great, so every time someone told me they were loving the story, it gave me a little bit more light in my life and warmth in my heart.

The idea all began as I listened to the song Helium by Sia, I saw a group of people that were bonded so closely that they lifted each other up and meant everything to one another!

That's how a rough plot line formed in my head.
Now I live with Eden, Jace and Blake and the rest of the gang talking to me, directing their own tale and urging me to write another chapter. I know some people make a plan, they plot out their story before they write and always have a basic sense of where they are going with it. But I've tried that and it just doesn't work for me. The ideas will hit me in the middle of the night or the characters will tell me where they want to go, what they want to do next. I often find myself trying to sleep, completely exhausted and my mind cannot wind down because the characters are loud in my head. So that's how I write.

I've started to make a rough idea of the next  few chapters and produce 4/6 chapters that I can upload and publish in sets of two. So if I haven't uploaded it's not because I've given up or something like that, it's because the ideas are flowing and I'm busy writing them and plotting where things go next!

I never expected anyone to read anything I wrote. In fact I have about ten stories that I've written and never intended on sharing, it was just a way to distract myself from the darkness that mental health can drag you into. But a few friends encouraged me to share my work and every single read, each comment or like made my heart swell with happiness!

I made a comment saying that if The Alphas Eden got 100k reads I'd get a wolf tattoo to celebrate. I never thought that would happen so, although I love tattoos and have wanted a wolf tattoo for a long time, I never thought I'd have to honour my word.

Well thanks to you guys we did it!! This story has passed 100k reads and it was only right that Eden's wolf was tattooed on my hand so that I would never forget the joy that I got when people told me that they really enjoyed the story. But also it's a symbol of what you can achieve if you don't give up!

100 reads was an unimaginable goal when I first shared this story. 100k was impossible.

You can do whatever you want if you don't give up on it, keep going, even when you think things are hopeless and out of reach. You can do whatever you set your mind to.

This process has taught me to believe in myself a bit more than I have done in the past. It's helped build my self confidence and shown me that I am not worthless and that means so much to me.

So again, thank you so so much for all of your support, I couldn't have done it without you. 💜

If you have any ideas for the story or if there are any other character's you'd love to know more about, please tell me.

I love it!!!! 💜🤍💜 🐺
