"Ugh, what just happened... Damn, fell asleep when I should have been fixing my stuff..."Eron wasn't at all happy when he woke up and it's not just that he lost precious time because he slept. To his horror, he realized that the mess he made with his "release" has now steeped into the blanket, the bedsheet, and his jeans. It had even dried into hardened patches here and there."Shit, I would need to wash this off myself. No way am I letting Diwana see this in the laundry."He stood up from the bed and started to get naked, deciding that he should take a bath first to clean himself up and clear his head. However, as he slowly moved towards his private bathroom, he suddenly had an idea..."Hell yeah, that could work! Two birds with one stone..."He then picked up his soiled clothes and dumped them in the shower stall. Running back to the bed stark naked, he stripped the bed sheets and blanket off the mattress, rolled them up together and threw it on top of his pants. As a finishing
“So, what do you think, Princess? Maybe our next date night we can do something more intimate... or did you like the surprise I got for you?” Virgil smiled widely, knowing the answer that she was going to give him.His mate was shining like a star. The wide smile that she got when Antoine suggested for them to look down towards the amazing view of the castle, didn’t disappear for the whole night. And now that he had her wrapped in his arms, sitting on the same aircraft, seeing her eyes sparkle, and her body completely relaxed; he couldn’t help but feel amazing himself.Not that he didn’t like the presentations or the art exhibitions, but mostly his eyes were on her reactions, her surprise, her approval and disapproval. He even gave his attention to the way her dress suited her skin color, which allowed him to see the exact amount of skin for him to easily imagine his hands under the soft fabric, touching her even softer, supple, and seductive body.“I think you did great with your ch
“Helena! Come downstairs, you have a visitor!” her mother said right at the bottom of the stairs, as she stood on the first floor of the large house. It was not even a week after her 18th birthday, and she and her wolf, Kira had been spending all the time they could getting to know each other during this time.“Who is it mom?” she asked aloud, completely sure that she was not expecting any visitors. In fact, Helena was the social-but-distant kind of girl. Many people knew her and got along with her, but not a tenth of them talked to her outside of the very impersonal environments that they shared, which was mainly elementary, middle, and high school.And, to make it more interesting, at the time, all of her three friends were already sleeping at that hour, so she knew it wouldn’t be any of them. “There’s a boy at the door, and insists that he’s your friend. He said that he needs to talk to you,” the lady said to her daughter with a very thick accent. “I don’t think I’ve seen him bef
“My… mate?” Comfortably reclined in the bathtub, with some soft instrumental music as a background, Helena was still very much focused on that moment when she saw her man for the first time, so handsome, so sweet, that she couldn’t help but smile and allow herself to relax and continue to remember. +++ “Well… yeah… I know that you're aware you’re a werewolf, of course, because I…” he had to stop himself once again from telling her that the application on SilverClaw Enterprises was reviewed by him, since he was the one who was going to be her boss, and he didn’t think she would be the type to like that sort of approach… “Can you imagine, V? Day one at work, she stays at the office door, looks at you and sniffs, then turns back and leaves. We can’t let that happen,” Kodan had convinced him of that. “I could bet our tail, bro, she won’t like that kind of story… Besides, look at her, I don’t believe she’s looking for a job because she needs the money…” the wolf said, literally making
Meanwhile, Virgil walked, focused and determined, thinking over and over again on ways to tell his father how things really were. Also, in the back of his mind, a thought, encouraged by his beloved mate, was opening a way and was threatening to come out.If it only had the chance to...V, the loving mate, was a very different man from Virgil the friend, the business partner, and even more so, different as Alpha Virgil Camden. He's known by many as a coolly calculating, ruthless man and that’s why many thought his only balance was his mate.This is a reputation he’d have to maintain especially, if not more so, with his father, who long ago had stopped being the loving patriarch of the two boys. His senior has now become a proud man only worried about position, money, lineage, and appearances, and was warmed by very, very few things.Virgil opened the double doors of his office, and walked in tall and proud, almost as if marking his territory.The man he found inside, tall as him, and m
“I’m sorry to say this, father, but your mistakes are not mine.”Virgil listened once again to that story that happened a few years before he took the lead of the pack and the related businesses. Once again, he listened carefully, but again too, was convinced of his motivations to agree with the business proposal that the Governor, the same man that had costed millions to SilverClaw and many others, years before, had discussed with him earlier that same day.“What is that supposed to mean, Virgil?” Henkjan walked a step closer to his son, still looking at him with the same cold stare.“If I tell you that I have not only strong reasons to go through with this business but have more intentions behind it, would you trust me and be calmer?” V said this as an answer, but in his mind, there was not only business, but a few other things that in recent times he’s been holding against his father, whom he once admired blindly.The question hit the older man hard, but there was no response. Aft
“Calm down, V… Calm down, now. She can’t see you like this… not today. You put a lot of effort into making her happy tonight. Don’t make her worry about you now…” Virgil told himself over and over as he walked all the way to their apartment, trying to let go of the conversation that had just happened. The bruise from the slap was pretty much healed - advantages of a werewolf’s fast healing - but there were other internal "bruises" that wouldn’t heal so soon. At least for that night, though, he would make sure that everything was perfect for his beloved mate.He finally stood in front of their door. V took a couple of dip breaths and then went in.“Beautiful? Where are you, princess?”“In the bathtub, love. I’m trying to see if I stay long enough, I’ll grow a mermaid tail,” she giggled. “The water is still warm. You actually didn’t take as long as I thought you would… though I look like a raisin already.”He was received by low mood lighting and the soft romantic music that she herse
It was still dark when the mysterious stranger made his phone call. He tried to keep his voice low as he heard his call being picked up on the fifth ring.“Where the hell did you end up last night, Orlando?!” the caller hissed through his thick weaved mask. “I was looking all over for you for hours but I couldn’t find you anywhere. Where the hell were you?”“Sorry Boss, I didn’t mean to leave you hanging. Something big happened last night and I gotta tell you, things just happened so fast that I didn’t realize what was happening and then I couldn’t do anything about it and…”“Whoa, whoa, whoa… stop right there… I need to get back to work today and I don’t dare be late, not after what happened last time. You should really come over to replace me. There really is something going on with this Eye Candy City Boy and I need someone spying on him as much as possible. You can go ahead and tell me everything when I replace you here after work tonight, but I really need you to shut up right no
“Diwana, I know you’re in there,” Eron soothingly said as he knocked on his new spouse’s bedroom door in the hopes that she would let him in without much fuss or fight. “I just want to talk, honey pie. Would that be OK?”The muscular Charmer waited a moment, but due to his enhanced hearing, he was sure that his troubled wife was already rising from her bed and was about to open her bedroom door. Within half a minute, she had already done so, but it was obvious from her facial expression that she was anything but all right.Eron instantly held her close as his fingers rubbed her long, wavy, ebony tresses before she could say anything.“Why do you look so down, Di? You can tell me, alright? What’s bothering you, pumpkin pie?”“I can’t do it, my love. I feel so weird doing it. It feels as if I’m not even a normal human being,” Diwana sobbed as a warm tear or two fell on her caring man’s shirt. “I’m afraid the kids may see me differently when I use my magical powers… Or even you!”Eron h
Eron speed-walked into the kitchen and was surprised to only find his Twinny with Mr. and Mrs. Merhi looking unsure at each other. In front of them was a large violet bucket of dark green liquid beside the large dining table with all the food items that they planned to feed the Ogre’s men upon their arrival.“Twinny, where is my wife?” the bulked-up former city man asked hesitantly.“She got a little overwhelmed when Tess and I told her all the possible things she could do with her Faye powers,” the dejected Luna stated with a crestfallen sigh. “I think she was overcome knowing everything that she could do, Twinny. But her Tikbalang Father assured us that it is absolutely essential that she learn the majority of her powers because of the upcoming battles that she would need to face.”“I feel that Senyor Armanaz means to pit her against that whore witch Chin Kahlagu when Eleuthera finally goes full force, Eron,” the chubby Police Chief admitted as he lovingly held his wife Tessy to his
“Hello, mom! It’s Emily…”At that point, Jack could hear various muffled but delighted female squeals and male yells in the background of his new fiancé’s phone call’s other line, which was obviously on speaker mode. He could easily tell that Em’s family was truly rejoicing over her return to Mendez.After a few moments of awkwardly answering her parent’s and siblings’ questions about her sudden disappearance from their village, the young light-haired lumberyard owner cleared his throat to make the female abductee aware of his presence along with his willingness to rescue her from telling more about her past traumatic experiences to her very curious family members.“Oh, by the way, I’d like to introduce a longtime friend to everyone there. Everybody, this is Jack. Remember the guy who gifted me the so-called alabaster box as you all called it years before? He would like to talk to you, Dad, if it’s OK?”“Yes, I do remember him, daughter. Put him on the line, please…”At her male paren
“Eron, I’m already done with your request,” Madame Tess declared with a pleased voice as she entered the half-filled living room. “We can now use it to enchant the food items that you plan to feed to your Ärger guests.”The hazel-eyed Charmer immediately stood up from the flowery-patterned armchair where he was lounging and gave a small nod and smile of approval at what he heard. “That’s wonderful news, Mrs. Merhi! Now all we have to do is drizzle your potion on the foodstuff in the dining room table and kitchen counters.”“Leave that to us and your Twinny, son. But I would like to ask Diwana to join us so we can continue to teach her how to use her Faye magic.”“Of course, Madame. All you need to do is ask,” the smiling curvy mate said as she stood from the matching floral sofa, then quickly walked towards her renter slash magic mentor. “We can begin now, no problem.”“While you're doing that, we’ll just take our ride back to our rented shack and get those skinned bunnies so you can
The door of the nearest 2nd-storey bedroom next to the wide staircase resounded with half a dozen loud knocks before Emily could answer the door.“Just a minute, Helena. I needed to take a bath since I couldn’t take one before I had completed the medical examination at the hospital this morning,” the young lady said in a voice loud enough to be heard by the person behind the door. “I hope I didn’t make you wait too long.”Emily quickly opened the door and gasped in surprise at the sight of the tall, good-looking and well-built man behind it. She froze, her mouth wide open in the middle of wiping her dripping hair with the white towel provided by their landlady. “J-Jack, why are you here?” stuttered the rescued female, in shock and extreme nervousness.“Hello, Emmy. Can I talk to you for a bit?” the lumberyard supervisor asked a little hesitantly. “That is, if you have nothing to do right now…”“No… I mean, yes, I am not busy at the moment, so yeah, we can talk. Please come in,” the
“Hey, Hero. Looks like your Eleuthera idea is turning out great!” Nick said from the passenger seat of his friend’s car. “Am I also glad that you’ll now be freeing your men and my buddies from that Chin bitch’s hold! That has always been a problem for me, which is why I keep Brenner’s concoction regularly to counter Chin’s potions in our food that’s being served at the mansion.”“It was one of the first things that Bren mentioned after he realized it. He ate from the governor’s buffet table and found himself sexually pleasuring the governor without even being aware of how it happened, bro,” the Ogre admitted as he continued to drive around 1 mile per hour less than the highway’s speed limit since he was in a hurry to get to Mendez and he knew that the high-powered vans where the Ärgers that were riding behind him were closely following him. He was driving this fast since he truly wanted to liberate his men from the enchantment of the governor’s wife and Ed himself as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, back in the city…Ring, ring, ring… Click!“Hello, wife. Why are you calling me on my landline so early in the morning? This better be really important, Chin!”“It is, Ed. Have your private army already gone to Mendez?”“Yes, they left with my Left Hand a few hours ago…”“I just looked into my scrying crystal and I saw your precious little Left hand will soon manage to break the loyalty spell that I put on the Ärgers somehow!”“What? He would not dare! Didn’t your spell work on the Ogre as well, wife?”“I don’t know how, but he and the Right Hand seem impervious to my lesser-powered enchantments even from day one. I remember telling you that even from the start, husband dear. Don’t you remember?”The governor swallowed the words that he was about to say and just left them to run through his thoughts as he remained silent; I do remember your warning, Chin, but it mattered to me that anyone cannot influence my closest underlings by magic or sorcery. Even by you, wife. I canno
“Okay Macky, please let them know your mama and me will just get dressed then we’ll be meeting them downstairs!” the former Right Hand yelled from inside the locked bathroom. “Just tell them to wait, alright?”“Yep, will do Papa Eron!” the smiling male youth replied, then immediately left to obediently follow his new stepfather’s instructions. “Oh, before I forget Papa, I brought the clothes that you were carrying home with you inside your bedroom.”“Thanks, Macky!” As he answered his new stepson, the muscular tinkerer stood up from the white clawed-foot bathtub and then offered his large, long-fingered hand to his mate. While the fully naked Lycan husband gently pulled his wife to her feet, Diwa suddenly spoke up.“Don’t you lock your door, love? I remember handing you the key for it when you paid your advance before…”“I never do, cupcake, and now that you will let me transfer to your room since we are now married, we can let my Twinny transfer to my bedroom and let Macky go back to
“Is it okay if I use the bathtub while you shower, Eron?” the naked curvy Diwa inquired as she slowly stepped into her filled bubbly bath which she had already prepared to meet her preference. “That way we can take our baths in unison so we can be on time to receive our guests later.”The younger hazel-eyed muscled male smirked as he replied, “Why should we take separate baths, cherry pie when I’m sure we can both fit in the bathtub?” he suggested as his passion heavily reflected from his eyes and tone while he slowly approached his now-soaking and sponging wife.“But how on earth can we fit in here, husband?” asked Diwa in a half-laughing and partially panicked voice as she tried to move her long tanned and smooth legs to accommodate the burly hunk of a man as he stepped into the warm and fragrant waters of the tub. “I don’t think that’s possible, love.”Eron chuckled low, his broad, hairy chest rumbling along to his deep and delicious masculine sound. “Believe me, Diwana there are so
