Hello to everyone who read and enjoyed Thrown to the Wolves!

I know this note and the epilogue have been a long time in the making, and because of that it will be a little harder for me to explain my thought process and ideas for the story, but I'll try my best anyway.

This story was, of course, a sequel to Mate of a Vampire, and features Kyran's brother, Quentin, and his mate, Markus. This story is a little special to me, since I loved writing the characters  for this and Mate of a Vampire, but also because it was one of the first stories I have with a puppy dog boyfriend. I don't know why, though, since I love that type of character. Most of my other main characters have had to put up with rude, "bad-boy", jerky counterparts, so writing a character that was so adorable, kind, and possessive all at the same time was nice. 

Now, Quentin was originally supposed to be just an obstacle to the main couple of Kyran and Felan to face in their story. I was actually going to make him an ex-lover to Kyran, but I felt it didn't really work. After reading your guesses as to who he was, and while considering Kyran's hate of others (especially Vampires) I decided to change his relationship to Kyran and made them brothers. I thought twins would be fun, since it would give Kyran an added headache and make Quentin quirky and interesting, becoming the very opposite of Kyran, with whom he shares a face. 

Of course, with all the characters in this story, I grew to love him and felt he just had to have his own story, and with Felan's tragic backstory I thought, why not kill two birds with one stone?

So I did!

Anyway, sorry this took so long to get to this point, but I feel like this was a very satisfying ending for all the couples and I'm quite happy with how it turned out. 

Fun fact, since this was written alongside Secrets of my mate, I cursed myself for making both of the Betas of the two stories have names with similar lengths that both start with S. I actually found myself getting confused because I would write Scott instead of Sean and vice-versa, so if you see any of that in the story (though I tried to catch all the mistakes) now you know why.

Well, this was such a fun story to write, and I hope you enjoyed reading it. 

Thanks a bunch,
