I really enjoyed having Miranda’s perspective on Anne’s and Zeph’s relationship. It was nice to have some gaps filled too on how her own relationship works. Of course I loved the last scene where Anne convinces Zeph to go to the Spa

I find it interesting that Anne was so surprised about Teles keeping up sexually with Miranda. It seems to be more common around me in real life for males to be the more sexual of the sexes, often complaining about how their wives don't want sex enough or outright ending a relationship because there isn't enough sex. Maybe Anne has seen a different side of Earth than me, or maybe she's a marathoner like me. But still.
Okay, if Miranda read about this two way contract thing in River City, why aren't ALL Asterian cubi making contracts like this? If not for personal safety as a cubus, then to reassure their leash holders that they would never harm them.

Spa day!

This chapter was so enjoyable. Can't wait for the spa scene.

I'm so glad to see your most recent update! I had stopped checking this story sometime in November of last year because I grew discouraged after the long gap without new chapters, but I'm thrilled that you've started writing and posting again. I can't wait to see what Teles, Zeph, Anne, and Miranda get up to next. I'm hooked on your writing and this story!

Yay update. I guess everyone was satisfied enough with the direction it was going not to comment. But I'm still hooked, just to let you know

I liked that he still had friends in the academy. Good chapter.

I always look forward to these updates. Makes my day lol!

As much as I am enjoying Kristin and the beast, I dread when the super sad ending comes. I mean if zeph remebers his torturous grandfather and we have yet to see even a glimpse of that in the other story...I know it’s gonna be bad

I liked this chapter, though the cut to Zephyr writing an essay threw me off a bit. For a moment I forgot who Gesslyn was! As for Zephyr being hot tempered, I think he does show that through his treatment of those ‘under’ him. But in terms of glaring at people speaking ill of him? I dont think thats particularly hot tempered behaviour. If hes bad mouthed as commonly as we have known him to be, I suppose its a valid response to be annoyed to the point of getting angry. Also, while this behaviour comes up a lot, sometimes I wonder why he accepts the fear and commends them for having a healthy dose of it, when he senses fear. But in this instance when they insult him through whispers or thoughts he gets angry. Shouldnt he have already known that sometimes its empty bravado?

Great chapter. Sounds like we are bound for some action scenes. Can't wait for more.

I love you, Arcangela. I love your writing style, and you make me laugh so often, and I'm assured that you'll never fully leave us hanging, something I am now guilty of. So thank you, and keep writing.

Enticing chapter, I love zephyrs character. It was well worth the wait.

I love how the story weaves in and out.
I know that somethings going to be thrown into the mix eventually.
But I can't wait for the series of one shots or something of their travels on earth, anne working in charity and those two flitting about and seeing all that they wish/ miss. Anne will be 130 by then. I can't imagine being that old!

The bakery shutting down reminds me a bit of Six of Crows, except that Zephyr does things above the board instead of below it - I wonder how much money talks in Lled versus nationalism and other such attributes.

I'm always surprised how jealous Anne can get, especially because she knows Zephyr would literally never do anything to intentionally hurt her in his life. I wonder if seeing a side of Oakthorn brought back bad memories of when he was gone and that intensified how hurt she was.

AND I wonder what the power in that bracelet is going to do! Like, can it read Anne's mind on its own? Is it going to try to do things independent of Zephyr, like a weird pet?
