Wolf’s Bane ADDITIONAL DECISIONS
“Oh dear, I may have arrived at an improper time. I’m so sorry… I’ll just come back another time, forgive me...’The Oro Vista Alpha owner gasped in surprise at the elderly visitor who made a sudden visitation at her home, then immediately rushed to him with arms wide open in welcome. “What are you talking about Senyor Antonio? I don’t dare deny the town’s council head the chance to enjoy a piece of his favorite Earl Grey cake and a cup of tea in my home, even for a few minutes. Please don’t go.”“But what about your guests? I can see quite a number of new faces, my dear.”“They are all our new boarders Senyor, not unless you see Leena and Jack as new arrivals.”“I see, but who are your new boarders?”“Let me introduce them to you while the children prepare us some tea and also, some of your beloved cake.”The first group of people among the mayhem of individuals to enter the room were the playing Wolf kids. Macky was trying to create a semblance of order among the riotous youngsters
Wolf’s Bane RECOVERY
Hey Chin, you there? Just taking a chance here but if you can hear me, it’s Max… I’m hoping you can perceive me, so we can continue our plan to make Diwana and the city guy, Eron, all mine.Chin’s eyes opened wide upon hearing the dead squirrel’s statements in her head. I know that voice, I’m sure of it. But can it be that he has gotten strong enough to reach me here in the city?Slowly, the now conscious witch sat up to check on her surroundings. Hmmm, this does not look like my bedroom or my mansion’s medical center. I might be at the downtown hospital. But for how many days have I been here?Chin, can you hear me?Yes, I can! you don’t need to scream at me, MAX! I’m awake now!GOOD! I knew somehow that would work! What happened to you the past few days? It’s almost a week since you last connected with me, woman!”ALMOST A WEEK?! WHO COULD BE POWERFUL ENOUGH TO DO THAT TO ME?!How the hell should I know? All I know is you suddenly stopped talking to me back at the village’s mountain
Wolf’s Bane PLANS IN MOTION
It took a while for Chin to finish up her pentagram with Brenner’s help, but complete it she did. Within a few minutes, she had lit and placed the black candles on each major point of the pentagram and had placed the missing former assassin’s platinum necklace in the middle of the inverted star.“Couno Confundantur Ut Omnes Ad Unum” she chanted ominously over and over, starting as a mere whisper but increasing in volume as she continued to speak. Suddenly a puff of smoke appeared around and above the necklace, then disappeared with a sudden flash of light. At the same second, Aaron’s jewelry reappeared in Chin’s hand, which she immediately clasped around her neck.Bren watched intently, not out of fascination but in order to give a detailed report to Hiro later. He memorized the unfamiliar words he heard from the damned witch-woman in the hopes to tell The Ogre as much as he can about this spell, which he felt is quite effective and potent… whatever it is.After finally wearing the ne
Wolf’s Bane CONFRONTATIONS
“Did you hear that, J?” asked one of the old-timers from inside the De Narra’s roomy but rustic cottage bedrooms. “Sounds like we caught sumpthin’ big and angry.”“Yer right, Ernesto. Might even be a grizzly!”“Yee-haw. If it is, I want its pelt for my Meemaw.”“Hey, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s arm ourselves to the teeth then take a look at them critters before we start a plannin’.”Each man, put on their favorite fur jacket and then loaded his fave ‘wife’ to bring with him out into the dark woods.After about ten minutes of walking, they manage to find their ’catch’, complete with a small upset audience who were trying their best to free their companion from the retirees’ trap.“Hey! What in tarnation are you critters up to?”“This your trap, man?!”“What the hell are you hoping to catch? A fucking hellhound?”“You planning to kill someone, or what?!”The ten or so mini-crowd of strangers all spoke up in unison as soon as the three older men walked up to their trap, and i
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
