Wolf’s Bane CONFRONTATIONS THE SEQUEL
“What did you decide to do then, Sir?”“My Karma did come and the more I felt I did not deserve her and that she must even hate me for what happened to her. She was gang-raped by a rival gang and when I rescued her with my first team, we killed every one of her rapists but I could not face her. I was dying inside, blaming myself for what my enemies had done to her. I felt so guilty that I left for Italy when she woke up in the hospital, but before that, I wouldn’t leave her bedside even to eat or sleep.”“Why do I have a feeling that things worked out for the better Senyor? After all, you did say she was your wife way back at the start of your touching story.”“One of our mutual friends decided to take matters into his own hands. He took a non-stop flight from the US to Italy and demanded that we talk, even if I didn’t want to. He entered my childhood mansion by force and finally got my attention. He convinced me that what happened to Nerissa wasn’t my fault and admitted to me a secre
Wolf’s Bane VISITORS
“Whoa, I never thought Serg had such a big house! I could not believe a constable’s salary could pay for a massive property like this.”“That’s because he has a relative who died and left him an old home in the city. He and I decided to sell that instead of fixing it up and using the money we got from the sale to buy a bigger abode up here in the mountains,” blatantly lied Serg’s wife. “And because of the distance and the past pandemic that killed half the village’s population, there were many cheap mansions for sale around these parts. So, we took advantage of that, especially since I was pregnant with my twin boys then.”“Do you mind if we can look up some houses around here that I could probably consider purchasing one of them once I would have my own kids too?”“We’re probably going to get married at the end of the year, and since my lovie hubby wants children ASAP, we’re considering of selling our city condo for a bigger but more affordable property.” Raquel girlishly piped up.
Wolf’s Bane THE SPECIAL DINNER
“Sorry about the wait folks. We had a sudden visit from Senyor Antonio and I was the lucky guy to offer him company going back to his home.” “Looks like your circle of friends is growing, Eron,” stated Paul as he prepped three cans of beers for himself, Eron, and Jack which he then passed to the younger guys as soon as had wiped the cold cans of beverage dry. “It’s a good thing we got the chance to get ahold and know you now before we would need to fight off a mob of endearing fans just to get your attention, hehehe…” “I doubt if that will ever happen, Sir. I don’t think I’ll ever be that popular.” “Don’t sell yourself short, son. After all, even Jack can’t seem to stop singing praises about you. And you’re barely a month from your first hatchet demo. From what I heard he’s using you and your work as an example to other workers in the lumberyard” piped in Jack’s mom in a printed apron, as she placed a large dish of roast and potatoes on the table. “I just do my best in everything I
Wolf’s Bane THE RETURN
“Damn it, I overslept! No thanks to that doctor for not waking me up ‘coz that Chin’s blasted spell made me so dizzy, I had to nap again. Plus, the traffic going out of the city was horrible today. It was already nighttime when I got back to Pat, and she’d already closed the office and gone home. No biggie, I can take a short detour to my Diwana and enjoy the view for a while before I head home to my camp in the lumberyard tonight!”Meanwhile, Eron had said his farewell to his new trusted friends, the Schneiders, and was suddenly aware of a familiar stink when he entered the gated area of the Oro Vista Alpha.“Damn it, he’s at it again. Good thing, it looks like everyone at home is already asleep including Diwana, so he won’t be stalking her again. But then again, if I wasn’t too tired because of my very full day today, from helping Orlando and his sisters move here this morning, to the walk with the village head leader this afternoon, to the special Dinner invite and talk with Jack a
Wolf’s Bane CONNECTIONS
Morning came too soon for new and old friends for them to begin connecting...“Hey, Hero. Good morning, Did I wake you?”“No, I admit I barely slept waiting for your call, bro. Was there a problem with your talk about Alicia with Jack and their parents?”“Aw, sorry man. Got home so late that I thought I’d be bothering you if I called you then.”“Alright, are you calling with good news or bad news?”“It’s all good, bro. They said if she is happy with you, they are willing to forgive you for taking their daughter away.”“You don’t say. Sorah will be relieved and delighted when she hears that!”“Why? You can’t tell her now? She isn’t with you, bro? ““Unfortunately not, A-bomb. I had to send her away to your brother’s packhouse to keep her and our children safe while we complete the plan of bringing Ed and Chin down.”“Speaking of your children, they also said that if you and Sorah did have kids, they would even be inviting you and her over with your brood. They really sound excited abou
Wolf’s Bane PERSONAL INTERESTS
“Hi girl, this is quite an early phone call that you're making. Must be really important for you to call me at this hour.” “Well, I just wanted to make sure you haven’t already gone to sell food to Jack’s employees. This is important, Diwana.” “If it’s you, I’m sure that it is Leena. So, go ahead and tell me…” “Is the Oro Vista Luna still for sale? We have a couple who’s interested because they plan to be married soon, but they find their condo unit to be too small to raise a family properly.” “So far, I know they have several interested buyers but none have given us a deposit yet. Therefore, it is still on the market but I’m not sure for how long.” ‘Do you mind if you confirm if it’s still up for sale? They are so eager to see it this morning. I’m sure they’ll be heartbroken if we view it and they are told it’s sold already.” “Alright sister. I’ll do that immediately after I end this call. Like you said, it’s a good thing you caught me before I’ve already gone to the sawmill.”
Wolf’s Bane UNNATURAL
From afar, it looked like a large caterpillar or a green cocoon that was living and crawling; except it was not. The three who discovered it on their way home were carefully and slowly approaching it when the unknown thing stated to burst from its leafy and branch-y prison.“Over there, Mrs. Joseph. Looks like those leaves and vines are moving… Are there such kinds of vegetation here in your mountains?” Myron curiously announced as he looked at the subject of his observation with a little bit of fear and wonder.“I don’t think that is normal, Lieutenant. But you are indeed seeing what you think you are describing, and inside it seems like a human being, if I’m not mistaken…”“Honey kins, I think it IS a guy… And he’s currently breaking free from the vines that holds him.”“Hey you there, help me out a bit, will you?” said the struggling man as he tore through his leafy and vine-y shell. “I’ve been in here all night.”It took the three onlookers and single ‘victim’ about five minutes t
Wolf’s Bane BIG FAMILY DECISIONS
“Wifey, this is a big decision we just made.”“Yes, hubby wubby, it really is. Imagine this afternoon, Mrs. Wolf will come by to get your deposit check and give us the keys to that Luna house; then tomorrow the realty agency will have you sign papers and we will be real house owners. Isn’t this amazing?”“I know my honey bunny, so is it ok if I ask something from you… or more like something of you.”“But of course my cute lovey dovey… go ahead and ask me anything.”Myron pauses to mentally set his sentences straight about something that was continually bothering him. He really needs to clarify his suspicions of Raquel but in the best way he can without causing any friction between them.“Baby, will you be honest with me? Have you ever kept any secrets from me? I promise that I won’t get mad, just tell me the truth and I’ll accept anything, and I mean ANYTHING you tell me.”Raquel pauses a bit, as she tried to figure out what her husband-to-be is REALLY telling her. It’s a good thing,

GETTING READY TO GET MARRIED
“I just can’t believe how fast things are going for you, Boss!” stated an awed Orlie as he looked at his employer in admiration. “Imagine, you suddenly were asked to be someone’s best-man just yesterday. Suddenly, you’re already the groom today, even if you only had a girlfriend for only few hours. Wow, talk about being instantly promoted!”“Indeed, he is boy,” a slightly unfamiliar middle-aged male voice spoke from the open screen and front door of the Alpha mansion. “And that would mean that he is extremely lucky, right son?”“Mom, Dad, Sis, you’re all here!” exuberantly exclaimed Jack, feeling a little sheepish at the realization that he was so focused on his future wife that he completely forgot to tell his family about his sudden wedding even through text message. “Where are your kids, Sorah?”“They’re just outside playing with the other children of this house,” Sorah informed his younger brother with a honeyed giggle. “Shame on you, Jack, for not telling us about your plans to ma
WANTED AND UNWANTED GUESTS
“Hey you there, time to eat up. Your meal is here now!”Max looked up from the wooden bed that he was sitting on inside the small metal jail cell where he was earlier incarcerated. The two city cops who had arrested him almost a day before had took mug shots, his fingerprints and the whole she-bang, acting like they were in an actual police precinct . He was actually wondering if he will be given something to eat since his grumbling stomach was already telling him how much he needed some food right at that moment. And he was so famished that he was very willing to eat anything that was offered to him.Well, it seems his captors aren’t such a bad lot after all, since here they were providing him more than the usual amount of sustenance. As he glanced at the mounds of grub on the aluminum tray that the spindly male youth was offering him at that moment he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.“Thank God, what took you guys so long? I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday, dude!”
MAGICAL EXPOSÈ
“OK Mama Diwana, we’re finally here now in the kitchen. What were you planning to show us?” the eldest Wolf offspring asked a little eagerly as her younger siblings excitedly surrounded her and echoed her words.“Yes, mommy Di, what is it all about?” the youngest inquired in her cutest voice.“You can tell us, Mom Diwa. We promise that we’ll be able accept it, whatever it may be,” encouraged the sharpest of the three, which happened to be the only male teen in the Alpha villa at that time.Eron’s charming smile stretched slightly wider at what he heard from the young trio. He then lightly nudged his hesitant and still nervous mate forward toward their adopted kids to encourage and strengthen her confidence even further. The wolf-man also nodded to his Twinny, the middle-aged female Merhi spouse and Police Chief Bilal who were all cheerfully grinning back at him.“Go on cherry tart, they are all eagerly waiting for your admission and they promise to accept it all,” Eron stated with an
A HOPEFUL REVELATION
“My children, can I talk to all three of you in private,” the tanned long-haired adoptive mom requested as she slowly entered the still half-filled living room since the first batch of elderly Ärgers had yet to return with their promised catch of rabbits and hares. “This is really important to me and I need to share this special secret of mine with all of you before our city visitors arrive.”“OK, Mama. Where shall we talk about it?” the eldest Wolf offspring asked for herself and her very curious siblings as she stood up from the armchair that was beside her beloved Orlando Kyle’s high-tech motorized wheelchair. “Although, I think I already have a feeling about what you are planning to tell us.”The young surrogate mother looked at her step-daughter with a hesitant look before speaking again, “I would prefer that I tell you in the kitchen since I plan to show you proof of what I will reveal there,” Diwana stated in a determined but still anxious tone.“Go on, kids! You just get to th
FACING THE TRUTH
“Dad, what’s this I hear that you’ll be sending your special troops to help the governor with keeping his people under control?”The Brigadier General could not answer his son Bien’s query at once. He was fully aware of how his sole offspring sees the Kahlagus despite them saving him and his mom from the killer flu that ravaged the country about a couple of years ago. His only boy, who is now a young man, is part of a social awareness group that is on the verge of being called resurgent if not for their connection to the government’s army and their continuous assistance to the public during major natural disasters.But due to their consciousness of the present socio-political situation of their city, which includes the corrupt actions of current political bigwigs of their state, Bien Castaṅeda is very much against any kind of assistance that his military father would give to the Kahlagus. This new decision by his Dad is not going well due to their recent closeness. True, Bien’s parent
A LOVING REMINDER
“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
OPENING CLOSED DOORS
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
ASKING PERMISSION
“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
SPECIAL INTRODUCTIONS
“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
