"Hey wait a fucking minute..." The Charmer whispered to himself. "Max didn't put up a fuss when Jack said he might have to pay for my motorbike... Why that scumbag son of a bitch, I oughta..."“Eron, what did you find?”“Huh, uh… what? Find? What do you mean?” he stammered as he looked around the basement trying to act busy.“I mean you’ve been staring at that machine for the longest time and not even saying anything. Anything the matter?”“Oh, no, no…” the new boarder answered his landlady, realizing that he was too immersed in his memory a few minutes before. “It’s me just studying the way this works. Too bad there isn’t a manual.”“Of course, there is. Why didn’t you just ask me? I can search the attic for it later after we’ve finished eating lunch, which is about an hour from now.”‘Yeah, that sounds awesome. And thanks for showing me all of this, Miss Diwana. Now, I have more hopes of putting Scorpia together.”“Well, you are free to use all this anytime you want, on one conditio
And now, back in the present, she had finally decided to leave the home that she had with her mate for the longest time. Yet, after so many previous years of hopping from one place to another, to hide from Hero’s past, and sadly, present, just as her friend promised, she and her family would have a future.It’s just that she hated being away from him. or at the very least, hated not knowing what would be happening to him. Especially now, when she knew he would be scarcer since she would be somewhere he’s assured that she and their children will be safe, and he had now decided to pursue his plans. Plans that she knew nothing about…And that’s what’s scaring her so much more than being far away from him.“Sorah, it will be alright. I know it will, ok?”The Ogre’s mate came back to the present as she heard her friend’s comforting tone and the touch of her hand on her arm. Alicia’s smile was sincere, but her voice was a bit shaky as she replied to Helena with a slow nod.“I really, real
“ALL RIGHT! Alright, sir, don’t hurt me! I’LL TELL YOU… I’ll tell you why I’m here!” said the stranger that Jack found hiding behind the bushes of his parent’s house.“YOU’D BETTER OR YOU’LL BE HAULED TO JAIL FOR TRESPASSING! NOW SPEAK!” ordered the muscled foreman as he stayed sitting down on the man’s abdomen with one hand holding his collar and the other aiming a fist at the man he just captured. “What on earth is happening out here? JACK? Who the heck is that?!” asked an elderly man who had rushed out of the front door and into the patio. “What is he doing here in the middle of the night?”“That’s what I’m trying to find out, Dad.”“Sir, I’m just someone who happened to be around here looking for a job. Please, let me stand up and explain myself.”“Jack, son, please… let him speak with a little dignity… But do check if he’s armed…”“I’m not! I swear, I don’t have any weapons,” whined the frightened guy with bright yellow hair as he was dragged from the ground to his feet in one s
Katya gave him an impish smile and whispered her explanation as if she was sharing a secret. “Wuf Wuf said that you’re a nice big bad wolf, not like in the stories, because you will protect the three little pigs instead of eating them.”“Hey, tell your stuffed wolf I’m not a pig, ok? Ahahaha!” the slightly chubby Erica retorted while she put the loaded plates on the table.“Yeah, besides Eron isn’t eating anybody, right, Eron?” Macky interrupted while serving himself some steak.“Uhhhh, yeah… I’m not… that bad…” The Charmer replied awkwardly as he also started to serve himself. “Ummm… you want to join me later in fixing Scorpia, Macky?”“OH WOW, DO I? I definitely will!” cried the young lad, his eyes shining with excitement.“As long as you finish the dishes first, Mack. We already did the cooking…” Erica reminded him before taking a big bite of her steak.“Awww, but I cleaned our rooms a while ago already…”“And we cleaned Mama and Eron’s room so that doesn’t excuse you from washing
“The way you say that, bro, makes it sound like something else happened between him and me... Damn, the hair on my arms is standing on end with the thought. Ugh…” groaned Eron as he grabbed a bigger screwdriver from one of the toolboxes around him.“Ahaha bro, you said that, I didn’t. Your green mind is making you think up thoughts that I never even said.”“Bro, that is NOT helping me and you said you were gonna help. Come on, you can start with you taking out these tires from the wheel rims. These I will definitely have to order because they can’t be salvaged anymore. Damn, whoever did this…”“Speaking of which, the axe we found with your stuff? I originally thought it was Max’s but it’s not his, apparently," Jack said as he started using a long metal tool to remove the tires from the rims.“I kinda thought it was him when I saw that axe. It’s one of the things I saw around the campsite when I went there. He even had one hanging from his hip on the day he told me Diwana was HIS… Fuck
He would talk about his frustration while he and his beloved girlfriend sat in a secluded booth at the resort’s famous restaurant, in the midst of miniature tropical palm trees, rattan woven furniture, and small hanging chandeliers that peppered the wood-lined ceiling. “Oh baby, don’t worry too much about that. Maybe you'll find more info in the other places that we're going to visit,” said the girl in the pink mini-sun dress.“Yeah, but I don’t think my client will be happy to hear that kind of report today,” said the guy in the khaki shorts and sleeveless beach shirt.“But we’re supposed to leave tomorrow, right? I’m sure he will understand. Just tell him that you’ll go to the next place bright and early and will give him an update as soon as you arrive there,” assured Raquel with a smile as she sipped her piňacolada.Myron smiled back and drank from his Cuba libre. “Alright, baby doll, thanks. I just don’t know what I'd do without you. Can you please order for us while I make my p
Meanwhile, in another apartment a few minutes away from the Alpha’s suites…“Mommy, is daddy gonna come live with us?” asked the little girl as she dressed up in her PJs, then grabbed her stuffed wolf toy.“Soon, baby, but not right now.”“Yeah Myrrh, he’s got a lot of important things to do, to make us safe. That’s what he told us before we went flying in the eli-kop-ter, right, Mama?” the boy asked as their mom tucked them into bed.“Yes, Victor. He promised to keep us safe.”“I hope he also promised to keep himself safe… he will be safe, right Mama?”“I hope so baby girl, I truly, TRULY hope so…” answered Alicia as she kissed her little girl goodnight.+++“Huh? I don’t remember washing this… and what could it be doing here on a no-laundry day?” Diwana looked in dip thought at the items that were hanging on the clothes line beside the house. “And, from here, I could swear that it’s Eron’s blanket and bed sheets, and I don't recognize this pair of jeans as any of the kids’ clothing…
The two men finally noticed that what she was experiencing was nothing more than a deep fear, and, for a moment, the three adults remained standing, frozen in place.Jack was equally puzzled by Diwana’s distress, and the fact that she, who was hugging Eron like her life depended on it, was well known for keeping her distance from any of the guys in the village and the lumber camp just to make sure that they didn’t get any weird or wrong ideas about her intentions. The Lumberyard boss was now looking at the scene as if there was a giraffe with two heads right in front of him instead of his friends. And it was quite clear that their faces were really close to each other...“Diwa, please, tell me, what happened?” Eron asked, concern in his voice while he continued to feel his heart pounding strongly within his chest…The new renter's thoughts: Weren’t you supposedly living here to protect her?Eron was now reprimanding himself while paying close attention to his enhanced senses, trying
