@dreemsteem, please put me on the sweet subscriber list as well.
Derek seems like a narcissist and I don't think I could ever like him. But then, we know very little of his past so I won't judge too harshly at this point. Bryd's motives in contrast seem much purer though so for now he stays my favourite. Talia still seems a bit confused and not much in control of what is happening to her. I hope she'll figure out how to be happy and healthy in both worlds. You're building up quite some suspense :)
Hehehehe you are in good company...many more people like Bryd than Derek!
But.... Some do like Derek! Hahahhaa
And you have been entered into the chapter 24 subscriber list!!!!! Now I need to go see your post with the pictures!!! :)
