We're getting close to the end! There will be THREE chapters tonight. Enjoy!
If you like music while you read, try "Game of Survival" by Ruelle. It's what I was listening to while writing this!

GAR
With a roar of confusion, Gar was thrown off his feet, stumbling backward towards Rika as the earth trembled, then shifted and, to his disbelieving eyes, rippling in waves like water displaced and splashed on a lakeshore.
Screams of terror rose as the dirt under them rolled and rocked, throwing human and Anima alike off their feet. The Alpha of the humans bellowed a command, and more than one gun went off, but Gar felt nothing as he came to life, shifting, his beast snapping the bonds on his arms even as they cut into his flesh. He landed on all fours, his paws on the male's chest. Like a snake, he buried his fangs in the man's neck, then tore it free before the male had taken a single breath.
"When can we read the rest of the chapters if we don't buy privilege?"
The TL,DR version is: No later than 1 June, but I'm trying to get it to you sooner.
The ACTUAL answer is....
I have an "After the End" catch-up I wanted to write and post in June, but the system on WN has changed and become really restrictive for completed books. Basically, if I mark the book complete at the end of this week when the event ends (So those chapters will start feeding out of privilege day by day), that one catch-up chunk of chapters is all I will be allowed to post on the book EVER.
Whereas, if I wait until June (when I have time to write it properly) I can remove all the privilege tiers (except the 1 coin tier that is only in WN's control), mass release the remaining chapters, and post the extra material WITHOUT using up that last chance to publish on it, that I had hoped to leave for a special occasion later.
None of this is in your hands, and I know that's frustrating. I'm sorry that you have to wait. I am trying to see if I can find time to write in May instead of June so I can post those chapters in May so they push the ending chapters through privilege for you. But it's not looking good, honestly. My schedule was already pushed out three days because Dark Alpha took longer to complete than I expected, and with the two new books, my commitment calendar is full.
So, please forgive me, I have been so busy in the lead up to this I actually forgot about privilege and didn't think all of this through before I published the ending, so I'm scrambling to try and figure it out now. I will keep you posted!
