It's the year 2020, so it's been an age. But life, uh, finds a way.

My health went to shit a while back, like closing-in-on-lung-transplant levels of shit, which included a healthy dose of everyone's favorite villain, Depression. Luckily therapy is really great, so I've come out the other side and returned to my old loves, fanfiction included.

So here's the thing: even when I was first working on Alpha Male, I had no actual outline or direction aside from Kiba + Sakura + smooches = ?!

Now many years later, both me and my writing have changed (for the better, ideally). Coming back to this story, I saw lots of room for improvement (big shocker) and changed a bunch of shit. I have a sturdier plot outline this time. My sense of humor is dumb as ever, in case anyone was worried. But also, it's uh… not the same story at all.

I'm going to leave this version up, but the story will continue anew as The Fate of the Alpha Male. Enjoy!

(Please. PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, ENJOY IT.)

(Also I love you kthx)
