Myron was smoking again…

He couldn’t help it since he was currently receiving the most intense ear beating of his life from the governor, which he didn’t really expect since the man was known to always be cool and collected when dealing with people.

Even those who displeased him severely…

“WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF IDIOT ARE YOU TO STEP AWAY FROM YOUR FIND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT?!”

“Sir, I’m sorry. I didn’t think…”

“YES, AND THAT’S THE PROBLEM! YOU DIDN’T THINK! GODDAMIT, I SWEAR MY WIFE’S DECEASED PET CAT WAS BETTER AT FINDING RATS THAN YOU! YOU ARE WASTING MY TIME AND MONEY, DETECTIVE, AND I AM VERY DISPLEASED WITH YOUR LONG STRING OF FAILURES!”

Or so they said…

Come to think of it, Myron didn’t seem to remember anyone who had severely displeased him talking about how he released their anger on them.

Since the majority of them either disappeared to never be heard of again or had succumbed to questionable coincidences and accidents that have claimed their lives. Hence, the storie

    As expected, they said their goodbyes with a lot of endearments and, at the same time, much regret. It was always the case, anyway, and no matter how many times they went through it. They just couldn't get used to the dismay, dejection and disappointment that they felt once they ended their phone calls with each other. Funny, it seemed the same even if they were only talking about business. However, if the “business call” ended as something else, the aftermath was a little more emotional than usual for this husband-and-wife pair, who still were very much in love with each other despite being lovers for years. And it would seem that this would forever be the case with both of them no matter how old they got in the future.They wouldn’t want it any other way, anyway.“Sigh, at least I recorded everything,” murmured Lena as she stretched naked on the bed, her clothes thrown about her in abandon as she and Serg went through one more round after their initial one. “Even that clip that he

    Hello, ladies and gentlemen. This is Eron Camden. You know, your main character in Wolf's Bane 1 (Yeah, there will be Wolf's Bane 2 soon but I won't jinx it just keeping you guys in suspense, hehehe...). Also, I believe I am breaking the fourth wall…If you have no idea what I’m talking about, I am talking to you guys who are reading my book directly from my dimension. Think about Marvel's Deadpool comic and movie franchise and you'll know what I mean.So yes, Orlando and I have left Oro Villa last time you read Wolf’s Bane, right? I mean that’s what my writers said…Well, I know too because I partly write this, too. Haha!Anyway…We’re now walking down the darker parts of the forest, using a path that was hardly used, based on how narrow and partly overgrown it was. It was actually pretty perfect for what I was about to do.Because, even from the time we left the house, I could smell them…Or where they originally were…Because they took such a long time hanging out in those said hid

    “So how much longer before we get to your house, Orlie?”“It’s just about five to ten minutes away. I think my sisters are already asleep by now, and since I do have my own key, you might not be able to meet them tonight, S... Eron.”“You really can’t drop the Sir, can you?”“I… I’ve been trained by my mama to call any teacher or trainer of mine Sir or Madame or Miss. Even when she was my teacher back when I was being homeschooled, she would insist I call her Madame and not Mama during our lessons. It’s kinda… ingrained in me, S…”“OK, fine! Call me, Sir then. Sheesh, I find it more awkward hearing you stop right in the middle of your sentence than hearing you call me Sir.”“Really? Oh, thank you, Sir! Yes, I do prefer calling you that. Are you sure you’re ok with it?”“I’ll be able to live through it, don’t worry, Orlie.”“I mean I do call Max Boss or Sir too, so… Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to bring him up…”Actually, it was the perfect time for him to bring up that damn dead squirrel,

  • Wolf’s Bane    THE RECOVERY ROOM

    “Unggghhh… I feel like I’ve been through a blender…" And it looks like that’s exactly what happened to me…Hero was awakened by a sharp pain in his chest which was pulsing above the low throbbing ache that he could feel throughout his whole back. His initial thought was that he hoped that Alicia wasn’t feeling any of these through their mate link.His secondary thought was trying to remember what happened to him to cause all this.And to do that, he tried to get his eyes to focus first so he could check out where he was…So, I’m inside a marble tile tub that’s buried into the floor… Soaking in some sort of herbal, healing waters… And it seems there are a number of others that are lined up alongside mine… About a foot and a half apart… All white marble tiles all around and lining up this massive room’s floors and walls. The ceiling is also white and with some sort of dim lighting… Also, it smells nice in here… like it’s a sauna but not because it isn’t hot and steamy… I haven’t been he

    Sebal swiftly moved towards the man he had just injured with a worried look. He kneeled beside him as he placed the towel, he had around his neck and started to use it to gently pat the man’s bleeding back.“Sir, I’m sorry… But did I do it properly? Did I manage to break a rib?”“Yes, you certainly did,” Hero affirmed as he felt the broken bones under his torso’s skin while going cold with the extreme pain of the lad’s aerial roundhouse kick. “I think you even broke two.”“WHAT?! Oh, dear lord, I am so sorry, Sir. It seems I don’t even know my own strength, and I have been told that before but… I didn’t intend it to be this way for you…”“No, no, no… it’s fine, really. I do… think… this will work… better, for the plan… Also, I am… well aware… but of course, you will need to do what you must do now… Meanwhile, I’ll just let myself collapse… although I’m not sure if I can lose consciousness…”“Let me take care of that, Sir. After all, it’s my fault that you’re in more pain than is neces

  • Wolf’s Bane    SOLILOQUIES IN SOLITUDE

    Eron ended up sweaty after all that “extra work” trying to save Orlando and his sisters from Maxie’s mooks, and in his mind, this usually meant that he was all stinky now. And though people may think this was pretty vain of him, he didn’t like the way he smelled when he was all wet with sweat. This time was no exception, and he was torn between going to Diwa’s secret pool and washing himself off, or even giving himself a quick bath by going naked and giving himself a quick Dip into those cool waters, or going back to the Oro Villa and taking his bath there.Suddenly the memory of that beautiful widow standing naked chest-high in crystal clear waters invaded his mind.And it was a very pleasant one…“Diwana… that image of you taking your bath in that pool is completely engraved in my mind… YOU are completely engraved in my mind… Even my heart and soul… But I just don’t know what to do with that… I don’t even know if you would accept me… If you find out everything about me… and who I r

  • Wolf’s Bane    PERSONAL CONVERSATIONS

    Eron removed all his clothing, folding each item neatly one on top of the other as he took them off piece by piece. If anyone was there at that time, you’d think he was completing a slow, sensual strip tease.But the truth of the matter was, he was just replaying a memory in his head that he felt was worth remembering. Just because it reminded him of what he used to be…And what he used to believe…About love…Of course, he had thoroughly believed it when his parents were still together. The mate bond was a true-blue experience for many and the evidence of its strength and intensity could be seen in many of his race’s pairs and partners. Heck, even Virgil and Helena’s love couldn’t be questioned and was truly something to look up to.But since he didn’t believe that he couldn’t possibly have a mate, due to his unique situation and the fact that his father put his pride first before his wife. Plus, he did have a falling out with his brother, the way he saw love back then was sketchy a

    “I have confirmed everything, Governor. And I didn’t just ask the doctors but I also made sure that I personally went to them myself. I can assure you that everything you heard on the news is true.”“Ahhh, brilliant! Suddenly, my good vibes are coming back in waves. Now, can you just tell me everything that you heard and saw at the hospital for good measure, Nick?”“Monsieur Makaraig is indeed dead and it’s because of natural causes - a heart attack. Presently, The Monster has already been wheeled into the morgue and is now waiting for his next-of-kin and representatives to sign papers and make the arrangements for his cremation since it seems to be Sir Makaraig’s preference. He has a thing against burials since he wants his ashes to be displayed in his mansion, and not his remains.”“That sounds exactly what the press announced. I am indeed pleased with how this all turned out. Now, what about The Left Hand? How is he now?”“About less than an hour after The Monsieur arrived, The Ogr

    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

    HEARTFELT ADMISSIONS

    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

    CAREFUL CONSIDERATIONS

    “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.

    CALLING IN FAVORS

    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

    SPECIAL CONFERENCES

    “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

    CRAZIEST THINGS

    “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
