it's ironic, that james used that tracking device to get them, and then now they are using the same thing to get him.  good! soo stupid

i am completely new to the bdsm world, so a lot of the props that were used in this story were a little hard for me to imagine.. like the cock cage and the ball and chain thing on the cock.. but i'm learning alot from this story, so thank you!

yay!!!!! i wonder who it was that knocked james out. i hope it was bella... i want her to be the one to give james the beat down that he so deserves. but it might be one of the boys or jacob and his cop friends.. i mean, where else did the thumping sound come from that caused james to leave the girls to find the source of the sound???

the only way all this can end is by cutting off the snake's head. to kill carlisle and marcus and demetri. these men are too vicious and cruel to ever change their ways.  they are spreading pain  and lies and hurt everywhere they go. the cycle will never end unless these men are dead... or locked up. and have their cruel stories be known to the world.

what???  i have a feeling this is a test.. she's testing to see if he still has any remnants of carlisle's edward in him. if he doesn't, he would do the selfless thing and do whatever she asks of him.

unless she means something like, let me go to college or something....

did she even apply to college?? probably not.. maybe she can still apply for the spring? i hope so...

ahh!!! everyone got a happy ending!!! yay!!!! thank you thank you!!! what a great end to a great story

when i saw that it was aro, i had no idea who that was. i even thought that i had forgotten some important details about this story. phew! i guess he hasn't been introduced to us yet

i can't believe that just because bella and jacob are seen together, and having fun at a club and dancing together, they're accusing her of cheating on edward. arghghg..can't two friends just have fun? it's so ridiculous!

wow. you must really hate james, or the name james, at least. you used his name twice in this story, both as hateful characters. first, as her old misogynistic (sp??) boss and now as this evil henchmen for the aro and caius.

gosh, i felt soo bad for bella and the only thing i could think of was incompetent the nurses were.. i get that we know more about childbirth now but their level of cruelty and insensitivity for the mother in labor is just wrong! being a nurse is about compassion and kindness and most of the nurses there did not possess those traits. it was soo frustrating to read.  but as frustrating as it was for us readers, we have to appreciate the research put into this chapter, so thank you for that. 

that was scary~!!! i'm soo glad it wasn't what we thought it was.. my goodness! he's lucky he didn't give the older people a heart attack.  but i understand why he did it.. he missed the mailman, and he was afraid bella would be afraid for him since the mail is late. still...i can't imagine thinking that about my loved one, even if only for a few minutes. it would kill me!

yay!! edward's coming home!! i can't wait for him to finally get to see cherie and to hold her and bella. loved this chapter! thank you~

i think you made the right decision about not giving us some lemons in this chapter... it really wouldn't be right... edward is exhausted from his trip and he's feeling very emotional and vulnerable right now. he should get some much needed rest before they go there

but i'm sure some good ol fasioned love will make things less awkward for them as a couple. sex can get rid of a lot of shyness and timidness and awkwardness..

this chapter made me cry. i love edward soo much in here! and cherie!! she was too cute! i love how open and happy she was to see her dad...i was scared about the toddler shyness around strangers but she got rid of it so quickly!

thanks for giving us this chapter early!! loved it lotss!

i'm really truly sad that this story is over... every time i see an update for this story, i drop everything i'm doing just to go read it. now, what else am i going to look forward to?? well, at least sovereign fate is still going on. a part of me is a little glad that this story is done because now you can focus more on SF. i'm really loving it and i want to see how princess isabella handles things.

and your next story is about a nascar driver bella!! wow! i really love that in all of your stories, the female lead is strong and confident and smart. though i haven't read your new story yet, i can just see how sexy nascarbella will be behind her fast, powerful and sleek nascar car..

i also love how you take yourself out of your comfort zone to write your stories. each and every one of your settings is unique and different. i love it when authors such as yourself aren't afraid to do the research to produce genuine results. like with this story set in the 40's and with SF set in the olden days...i really admire your writing and the plots that you come up with. keep up the good work!!!!

arghghg...jake is sucha  jerk! he was the one cheating on her yet he dares to call her a whore. what the heck is wrong with hiM?

i really like the way bella talks to edward's parents. she was very mature with the way she handled the situation. and she was very honest with them.

it's too bad that the picture in here with the bitchy pregger shirts is kinda small..we can't read the words.. oh wells...

i think it's funny that both of bella's friends are getting with (or about to get with, in alice's case) with both of edward's friends. wow.. and all three of the girls are about 5 years older than the guys.. really funny, with all the friends being in the same situation as each other (minus the pregnancy)

i hve to say, renee really surprised me. i really expected her to be the one most adamantly against bella being pregnant (not that there's much she can do). but i expected her to be more angry and mad. but nope. she was supportive and caring and kind to her pregnant daughter. i guess it's because she was kind of in the same situation as bella, with an unplanned pregnancy at a young age.

damn that jacob to hell! how there he come in, guns blazing, angry and yelling at bella??? arghghgh...the nerve of that guy!

but i'm soo glad she and the baby are safe. i'm waiting to see what their life at home will be with billie...

i have a feeling that bella will be dealing with quite a few jealous women in her new home... arghghg... i hope edward realizes that his past actions have consequences, and bella will most likely be the one to bear the brunt of it.

and though edward will try to support bella as best he can, we all know that bella will have to be strong and brave in front of these ladies and not show any weakness. but i know she can do it. she is strong and intelligent, much more so than them. she can handle anything they throw at her.

i'm glad carlisle talked to bella about this. bella clearly is very smart and she can be a huge help to edward, especially with political matters. i have to say, i really love the women in your stories. they're all bright and kind and caring and loving and passionate. such strong characters.

oh no... by edward not being there in her bed when she wakes up, she may question his loyalty and will probably think taht he spent the night with tanya, as she claimed he did everytime he came home from extended trips. i hate that she doesn't have faith in edward and his love for her but it is completely understandable. in those days, it wasn't completely frowned upon for the men to be unfaithful, as could be seen from her father's behavior towards her mom. and with a father like hers, it's no wonder that she would question edward because that's all she's ever known, that men aren't monogamous. also, with edward's track record, not to mention her inexperience with sex, i think her fear is completely valid. i hope edward won't be too mad when she questions him about his love for her. he has to understand where she's coming from.

i'm really excited for these two though because it's obvious that she's expecting!!! i just hope that they don't question her loyalty to him if they find out that she's pregnant now since he's been away for a while. i mean, i don't know how much they know about childbirth, but the nausea doesn't usually happen right at conception. it takes weeks before symptoms of pregnancy are shown. also, it sucks that she has to deal with so many of edward's petty ex-girlfriend issues when she is feeling sick already, on top of the war going on. poor bella...

gosh, tanya is such an annoyance!!!  her devious ways never end. even when she's gone, she has to leave evil little bits of herself behind. arghgghg... but i like the way bella went about trying to deal with the situation. whereas edward would probably try to solve the problem head on while bella is definitely more subtle. i really like that about her. no matter the situation, she keeps a level head and a clear mind

aww!!! i'm soo glad that bella can be reunited with her mother and brother for christmas. that's soo wonderful!!!!!!

i'm glad the impending war is over and that bella was such a big part of the process

the tanya story still hasn't ended though.. we haven't caught the killer yet and the one who hired him. i hope he can be caught soon before anymore real damage can be done

i'm glad they finally found out who the mastermind behind everything is...

seems like in the next few chapters, edward will be crowned king. can't wait for that to happen

awww...what a great chapter. i really love that you made edward and bella be such progressive thinkers. they knew the importance of education among their people, especially for the future. i don't think many rulers back then valued education as highly, seeing as most of the poor didn't even know how to read back then.

i don't really understand... she needed money for weed? or for soda??? or is soda some kind of euphemism for weed i've never heard of??? soda is a beverage right?? like coke or pepsi?

but still, this story was cute. thanks for writing it!

i hope bella kicks royce king's a**. seriously. the guy is disgusting and so chauvinistic. i hope he will get what's coming to him soon.  arghghhg...

i'm not really sure i understand why edward can't play... why can he only be there as a caddie and not as a player? do they let anyone just play as long as they qualify and have talent? or do they need to have some support and backing, like bella did with her hometown mayor??

i hvae to say, i'm not liking carlisle very much... sure, his job as a doctor is important, but he really needs to set his priorities straight or he will lose his wife along with his son. luckily for him, esme lvoes him dearly, but something's gotta give. he can't keep forcing his wife to accept his long hours the way she has been.

and i like that his parents approve of bella. i was afraid that carlisle would put up more of a resistance because of her racing career, and her humble background. i was scared they would be these snobby, rich people, but i'm glad they're not

i just read the teaser for chapter 4. i'm worried because bella is worried about edward's reputation. these two really need to sit down and have a talk about their feelings for each other. and maybe even their dating history. they have to if they plan to go anywhere. i hope edward won't shy away and keep his feelings locked up and not let her know of them. please let him man up and just confess his feelings for her

and phew. i'm glad that bella's okay. i was a little worried there. and she seems so cheerful too!!! i thought we might have a case of ptsd.. we still might... i hope bella will be able to continue racing without any problems but it's completely understandable if she gets scared while behind the wheel

i'm soo glad that with edward's help, bella can race again... i was a little fearful that that would be a big issue in this story...i love how these two have become so close so quickly!!! they're sooo adorable together!!! and i love their first date. edward is quite the romantic! i can't wait for her to become neighbors with him and for them to walk through their backyards to get to each other's house. that's kind of really cute

maybe the blonde is just his sister??? i mean, you said that she 'smirked evilly' but maybe in bella's state, she couldn't tell the difference between and 'evil' smark from a mischeivous one... and hte blonde moved toward her with 'a look of concern' so she can't be all bad. i bet it's just his sister...

i'm more worried about the phone call from aro's office tellign edward to come in right away, and ALONE. i have a feeling it has something to do with bella. or maybe it has somethign to do with his career and they are offering him a chance to move forward, but it will mean him separating from her... i dunno... i'm just making wild guesses.

can't wait til the next chapter. keep up the good work!

i wish bella would overcome her fear of racing... i wouldn't want anyone to say that she's dragging him down...

i love that they're beginning to take their relationship to the next level. i understand bella's fears about them not being compatible sexually, especially since he seems more experienced and adventurous than she is. i hope she will just push her inhibitions aside and not hold back with him.

awww...their relationship is soo cute! i love how they are when they're together. i hope that with their houses literally connected, they won't ever sleep alone ever again..

aww...i'm soo happy to see that carlisle has had a change of heart regarding edward's career path. even bette,r that it was due to bella that he had this epiphany. yay!!!!! i can just imagine how happy edward is right now, seeing that he and his dad have reconciled.

no matter the circumstances, what ben did was inexcusable. racing is very important to her and he cannot tamper with her career like that. he should have been punished in some way instead of being offered help out of his difficult situation. but i guess that's what makes bella a much better person than me. i am soo angry on her behalf. he should have just gone up to them and told them about his extenuating circumstances along with the man's bribe. arghghhg... i am still soo angry on her behalf...

i wonder who bella's benefactor is. will they be playing a big part int eh story later?

i'm worried about what james has planned...seeing a crooked guy like him smiling is never a good thing

i didn't understand what it meant to 'make the chase'? is it like, only the top racers with a good ranking can move onto the next round??

i'm glad that aro got what was coming to him.

but i'm a little sad that bella didn't get to race in the chase... i know she probably couldn't concentrate, with edward being hurt the way he was, and all the drama going on with aro, but wasn't it a dream of hers to race in that??? isn't that a dream of all nascar racers??? it seems like she just gave up a wonderful opportunity and i can't help but feel that it's such a waste..

hahah!!! this was such a cute and sweet story!!!  very very sweet! too much sweetness to the point of cavity inducing. but i LOVED IT! thank you!

what are the signs given to show that they bear the curse??? i don't think you specifically said.. unless it's the abilities, like what bella has. but does she have her abilities because of the curse or because she is a descendent?

and what's the time period in here??? is it the 1800s?? or are we in the 1900s?

also, i'm curious about how you came up with all the names for the battles and cities and the way they call themselves. the names are soo unique. is this story a little of a crossover from something else or something that i don't know about? it's a little hard to keep track of all the unique names in the prologue but it was interesting...

i like that bella still had tricks up her sleeve and was able to escape from them.. too bad they got captured again. arghgh!  i was soo mad! OF COURSE the cullens would be watching the convent for them. DUH!!!! they should have been more cautious, like have one of the nuns bring her things to them instead of going to the convent. i guess hindsight is 20/20.

i like the sexual stuff going on between edward and bella. and i don't think she's weak because she couldn't resist... you can't help the way your body reacts to physical stimulation. i am afraid though that when carlisle gives the okay, they may rape her... it doesn't seem as if he has any qualms about forcing her... i hate to read about rape.

your story is definitely getting good. i can't wait for more!

i have no idea what to think of carlisle. truly. he has taken an interest in bella, that's for sure. but it doesn't seem to be a romantic one... but all the hugging and comforting and stuff. and when he drank her blood. i don't know what to make of it. edward for sure has fallen for bella.. and she used him as a support too, falling asleep on him. she wouldn't just sleep on his chest unless she trusted him. but then again, she allowed carlisle, her captor, to hold her while she cried... hmm... i hope she wouldn't rely on carlisle too much. edward is much more sincere in his affections

i don't really understand the difference between being a vampire like carlisle and being what jasper and edward was, the half vampire thing... and what does it mean to be embraced? is that what they call it when they turn something into a true vampire? 

poor jasper... i completely understnad his feelings, his being afraid for her and fearful that she will get hurt. i'm glad that he's going to be there to help fight a battle that doesn't have anything to do with him. he's there only to protect her and it's soo sweet!

is gabrielle an angel or something???

and the talk about sacrifices worry me... i'm scared that someone important will die.. as long as it's not e/b or j/a then i'm okay..

wow. what a great story. but you left us quite a few unanswered questions, namely regarding b and e's relationship, questions you've posed yourself. also, bella has to be ghouled if she wants to live a long life with edward, right? if not, she'll die in a few decades while he continues to go on living. we would love it if you would write a sequel, but no pressure.

this story is off to a great start!!!! i'm really excited to see where you plan on going with this. bella's step father is probably phil...and i'm guessing that he was the one who taught her about baseball. if so, i'm glad that she had formed such a great bond with him. i wonder if she'll be partly responsible for edward being able to play pro baseball by giving him the connections that he needs? obviously, he has talent,b ut maybe she had a hand in helping him get there with her connection to phil????

i didn't really understand what their fight was about at hte beginning of the story... does edward want to have kids but bella is reluctant because she's afraid that he won't be able to devote the time needed to help raise them, with his baseball career? if so, then that's incredibly selfish of him, i think... he can't expect bella to raise the kids on her own, while he's traveling with the team. then again, i don't really know what their fight was about...i'm just guessing

for some reason, i started tearing up when emmett was telling edward about how he bought the bath and body works for edward.. awww....how sweet...

and where are bella's parents?

really great story. i love it when love is found even in the midst of war. i'm excited to read more of it. thanks so much for writing this!

i can't figure out that painting at all. very abstract...

glad that edward and bella are finally together. i just hate that they wasted soo much time, that she wasted so much time with jacob, that jerk. arghhg

i like that they're both very successful people. i kept thinkin that maybe edward would ask bella for help or something with picture books and she would swoop in to save the day...but nope. he's got everything under control

this is so sick and twisted. i love it! hahaha. i like the way you ended things, that no character gets redeemed. they're all pretty bad
