Ehem, I'm working on the boring office work chapter but I'm having a problem with a particular reviewer and their bias toward Cynthia. Look, there's nothing wrong with not liking a character in a story, in fact I encourage my readers to dislike at least one or two of the characters I have, but it's also not polite to call the particular character a Mary Sue without giving a reason.
I understand you want to see Hollyleaves, but as I've explained a million times by now, I struggle to write Hollyleaves because of their characters, so when I do it's in small and fluffy doses. However, that doesn't mean you should call Cynthia and her cat counterpart Cinderpaw a Mary Sue over and over.
Especially for the plot line of Boring Office Work where the story's about Cynthia's second chance at love after Ashton abusing her for six years. Can you really call an abused character who's struggling to make ends meet a Mary Sue by a short and extremely vague preview of the entire story?
Plus it's hard to write Hollyleaves without Cynthia when Cynthia is Holly's best friend for crying out loud! What do you want me to do, scrap Cynthia's character and make Holly a complete worry wart? Cynthia gives Holly the confidence and the push she needs to get what she wants. Cynthia's brash, impulsive, and gentle-hearted while Holly's cool, calm, collected, and open-minded. They're friends for a reason.
Please read the newer chapters, chapters 70+ to get a good grasp on the characters and please quit calling Cynthia a Mary Sue in Fighting for Love and Hope moments (When you probably haven't read the actual stories), Cinderpaw in the "A Situation's Consequences," Cynthia in Boring Office Work, etc.
For those of you that have no idea what's going on, check the reviews -_-
And lookie here, I have an entire chapter dedicated to just Cynthia and Leon I was waiting to upload after Boring Office Work. Congratulations I uploaded it today and I'm not uploading again till Boring Office Work is finished. If you hate the chapter live with it.
Signing out til Boring Office Work's Completion, have a good day,

Wildly Famous Ending
My name is Cynthia Casuna Lawson...
"Come on Cynthia! Get in the water and relax a little!" The sound of my sister's voice speaking in English, her rougher Ruxburg accent distinct compared to my own Vandalan accent, entered my ears.
I hummed a faint response, choosing not to speak as I continued sketching in my leather bound drawing pad.
Emerging from the rough soft pencil lead chicken scratch that consisted of my latest sketch, was a simple but goofy drawing. A replica of a picture on my phone of a goofy selfie my sister took with her mate while I was asleep with Leon on the couch behind them.
… I'm a Alpha Viscon Wild mated to a male Alpha Viscon my age named Leonardo Bramble with beautiful amber eyes that differ from my own blue ones and is way too good to me.
I have blue eyes that I've been told show my creativity all the time, midnight black hair with bangs that repeatedly get in my face and lightly tanned skin with freckles from my forehead to my toes due to my cheetah blood. (My mate says that one day he'll have counted them all, but I wish him luck with that. After three years he's only at twenty-five thousand...)
I turned twenty-two last fall in September, and for my career, I'm a YouTuber and professional singer named, SapphireGleam.
I've worked hard since I was four-years-old to reach where I am now, a multimillionaire with a big house and plenty of space to satisfy the territorial Alpha in me. I enjoy my work, connecting with millions of people through my four channels and working with my editing and scheduling team in the studio I own called Zekais Nook Recording where the first word in the name means 'Sapphire' in the Wilx, the everyday articulated part of the wilds language.
I have a younger step-sister Kikoi wild named Ran Hixon who's now nineteen-years-old and has a mate (ironically he's my mate's brotherhood friend) Orion, a Kikoi wild as well. Both of them are in college here in Vyliea now, following Leon's lead in physical college while I had transferred to an online and I received a bachelors in Digital Media and Fine Arts a few weeks ago.
Up until a few months ago, I lived in Vandala, at a specialized school from middle school to college called _ Academy. However, I now live in Vyliea the water union country of Middren in the mansion like the house I had built for me and my mate two years ago with my mate, and now my sister and her mate. My manager, Lila, also lives here, when she's not flying somewhere or something to take care of an upcoming concert, interview, celebrity meet, or anything like that anyway.
I used to be stressed out and unhappy between recording videos for each of my four channels a day, physical college classes, concerts, tours, and spending long and aching months separated from my mate. Now, however?
Now...
I looked up from my drawing, gazing across the large rooftop pool from my spot next to at the edge on a blue bench and at my sister and her mate playing around in the water with pool noodles.
… I can officially say that for once in my life…
"Come on Cia," a husky Vyliean accented voice spoke in my ear, gravelly like a rocky path from having just gotten up later than me from the nap from earlier, his warm breath tickling my skin.
A tanned skinned hand with thicker fingers came around from behind me to offer their hand. "It'll be fun, it always is."
… I'm having fun…
I didn't have to look over to know who it was and who the hand belonged to. The warmth in my heart and the sappy mushing of the romantic in me told me who it was. I tucked my pencil into the drawing book in my hands and closed it before putting it down next to me on the blue padded leather bench.
… Enjoying myself every day without fail…
I looked up and over my shoulder at the strong man I knew was standing behind me, his sleepy mind softly brushing against mine in that comforting fashion that told me he was here with me. I couldn't help the smile that spread softly over my face at the way the sunset caught his already perfect features.
His amber eyes, slightly misty from sleep, looked back at me, glowing softly in the evening light. His blonde hair, as messy as always was sticking up in its usual messy spiked fashion with the tips turning to gold. He was clothed in loose black and white swimming trunks without a shirt, casually showing off his muscular and Alpha and athlete toned body and making my heart jump a beat. He was beautiful, both physically and internally, loved by everyone and told he could do great things.
I grasped his hand, my slender fingers so much thinner and somewhat smaller than his, and let him pull me to my feet with a smile. However, the most important thing to me about him was that he was mine, my life long companion, the one forever at my side.
"I was waiting for you, dork," I told him with a smile and leaned up on my toes to kiss my taller mate gently on the lips. "You slept half the day away."
...With the ones, I love the most…
"Well I'm here now," his strong arms slipped around my waist as I moved back down onto my heels and he gave me a lopsided smile that I knew well and loved. "So let's join them."
"In a minute," I murmured, looking at my mate's smile and sleep misted happy amber eyes for a few moments. I wanted to stand there in his arms for a few moments and just study his features, feeling my chest warmth with the sense of peace, and joy. I want to stand here with you for a few moments… I murmured to him mentally, and feel his response as a soft wave of love and affection.
… These moments with them every day, makes me feel something…
I rested my cheek against his chest for a moment with my eyes closed, the short blonde hair caressing my skin. Even as a moment later I felt his fingers running through my loose black hair.
...Something I haven't felt in a long time…
"Come on you two! It's almost sundown! The lights are going to turn on!"
I reluctantly pulled away of my mate's chest and playfully gave my sister the stink eye before abruptly Leon lifted me up so that my feet were off the ground. "Leon!" I squealed and placed my hands on his shoulders as he lifted me higher so that I was a good foot taller. "What're you doing?!"
Leon just raised his eyebrows and grinned in a cheeky manner before he broke into a run, sprinted around the back of the picnic table and chairs, and toward the drop off where the rooftop pool water fell into the pool surrounding three sides of my house.
My eyes widened, he was going to jump off and land into the other pool, sixteen feet or so down, and he was taking me with him. "Leon! Don't you dare-" I was cut off by him jumping off the edge, letting me go and his cheeky laughter as we both fell straight down, warm water half pouring over our heads.
I giggled too, laughing too when we hit the water and he fell further down than I did, being much heavier than me. I was pulled down too by my arms looped around his neck, but at the moment I couldn't care less. We sank for a few seconds, both of us just looking at each other under the water, my hair being tugged around by the current and the ends were likely floating up above my head.
...I'm finally…
Leon kicked his legs up and looked up, and moments later we broke the surface, our breathing a little rough from beneath the underwater.
I looked at his face for half a second before I started laughing, hugging him around the neck and giggling like a school girl into his shoulder while he chuckled next to me, one of his arms wrapping around my waist while he treaded water to keep us both afloat.
"Oh come on!" Ran's voice was far above us, and I went to look only to get a bunch of water in my face and up my nose as she jumped off and landed next to us. "You do know that I meant for you two to join us up there, not jump down here right?" She asked, in a huffy tone but I could see her blue eyes twinkling with amusement. She swam a little to our left, "come on Orion!"
The Kikoi wild was looking down at us all, looking rather nervous. "I'll just come down the stairs!"
"Just get down here you big baby," Ran teased and shouted at the same time, "or I'll-"
My sister's sentence was cut off by Orion landing inches from her and accidentally pulling her under the water. Causing the water around us to ripple and wave as well.
I traded amused looks with Leon, who was full out grinning, even as he leaned forward and kissed me.
… happy…
I wrapped my arms tighter around his neck and threaded the fingers of one hand into his thick blonde hair as I kissed him back. It was slow and meaningful, feeling his lips slowly move over my own, the love I knew he felt for me oozing from his actions. My mate had never been a verbal kind of guy, he always preferred to show me he loved me through his actions, and you know what? It's okay because that's how I do it too.
… I'm truly happy… no wait, we're happy… All four of us…
Now
I can officially say that that for once in my life
I'm having fun
Enjoying myself every day without fail
With the ones I love the most
These moments with them every day, makes me feel something
Something I haven't felt in a long time
I'm finally
Happy
I'm truly happy… no wait, we're happy… All four of us.
Btw I've been requested to collab with the author of "Hexagon", another human warriors story and I'm fulfilling the request. I'm officially doing a collab with Azrakatz for the Valentines Day chapters for Hollyleaves, Briarfeather, Cinderblaze and possibly more in "Hexagon." As of the date this is uploaded, the Hollyleaves chapter is finished and the rest are in progress.
