Wolf’s Bane MORE FAMILY AFFAIRS
"I can't believe how amazing she is, even when it's just giving a simple tour of her own house." Eron couldn't help but say this to himself as he watched her show him around the second floor. They've gone through the girls' rooms, the boy's room, the playroom, the library and the other three remaining empty rooms, and he fervently wished that the tour was longer so he could just hear her talk while they were alone together. “And this is the last of the vacant rooms on this floor. If you still aren’t sure about it, you can always take the other rooms on the ground floor. They are slightly smaller than any of the rooms here, but they are more easily accessible than up here. There are also other rooms upstairs and, in the attic, but then you’d all be on your lonesome. We hardly go up there, you see, since all of us sleep on this floor and have the library and playroom here as well.” The Charmer had not really been paying attention to the quality of the rooms being shown him within the
Wolf’s Bane EXTREME REACTIONS
The patio doubled as the house's breakfast room. For now, it felt more like a party area due to the laughter, giggles, happy tones and the continuous stories that Diwa and Eron were telling the kids... Of course, the one they insisted on hearing first was the accident that happened at the lumberyard that morning. It was interesting that the two adults were both telling the story in sync with each other, even finishing each other's sentences. They weren't aware, but the young ones were. And that added to their surprise and awe as they listened to their surrogate mom and her new boarder. "He picked me and Jack up, and I immediately checked him if he was hurt," the landlady said, as she poured her and Eron a new batch of tea. "Good thing he only had a small wound on his elbow." "Not even a deep one, too. It was just a scratch, see," the man assured his audience as he showed them a small square of gauze and a bit of bandage on the lower part of his forearm. "Good thing Jack and your ma
Wolf’s Bane EXTREME REACTIONS AGAIN
The children’s parents had to be transferred to their uncle’s home while they were sick so that they could be taken care of. Well, Diwa was the only one who took care of them since her husband never seemed to go to the sick room out of fear of the fatal illness that was taking so many lives in their village. Also, she didn’t want the children exposing themselves to their parents’ sickness. However, the kids were so intent on helping out their benefactors that they were helping out with cleaning the house and even preparing the meals. Di also felt that this was their way of letting their parents feel they love them still, despite being sick. After all, the three couldn’t exactly hug and snuggle with their mom and dad during this time. Because of this, Diwa also spent a lot of time with the children, trying her best to comfort and encourage them during these dark times. Unknown to her, her husband was now starting to resent the attention she was giving to his brother’s family. He see
Wolf’s Bane CONFLICTS AND CONSEQUENCES
It was the longest argument they've ever had as husband and wife, but Diwana knew that she wouldn't just give up the fight. Honestly, to her, her moment of silence was just a break since she needed to do something which was equally important... So right after the fight, Diwana went to check on the kids, wondering now what she could tell them, but determined to find a way to keep them together and with her, despite what her husband said... Whatever her husband said! “Erica,” Di called, walking around, knocking on the door of their rooms, without hearing an answer or noises, not their voices, or the normal sound of movement in a kid’s and teenager’s room. “Macky?” she tried again… A feeling of anxiety started to grow in the back of Diwana’s mind, and a knot started forming in the pit of her stomach. Di started walking faster, checking room after room. She then went to the garden, the backyard, and the kitchen. At the end of her search, she ran through the house, yelling their names
Wolf’s Bane MORE CONFLICTS AND CONSEQUENCES
“So, do you want to let the other neighbors know now?” Leena asked Diwa, who was still looking around the house. "I mean, you did say that the house has no electricity and water now because Mason had it cut off to avoid paying for the utilities while his brother and his family were staying with you, right? It's going to be real dark inside and there's only the two of us..." “I think we should try and see for ourselves first. If there are too many people around, they might get scared and run away again. Besides, you did tell Jack to get here as soon as he can, right?” “Okay then, how do we get in?” Leena said decisively as she rolled up her sleeves to get ready. Leena's characteristic strength and willingness to help easily countered those character features that were NOT so common within their neighborhood, AND THAT's why many didn't like her. But Diwana found it refreshing. Her neighbor, who was a mother of twins with enough money to hire a nanny and house helpers, lived in one o
Wolf’s Bane THE UNKNOWN STRANGER
The stranger's smell was masculine. He was sweaty, but not because of him moving around. It seemed more like an… erotic agitation, and Lee could almost swear she could hear the man’s heart banging hard on his chest. She could also smell sex on him, but not female fluids, only masculine, and not all of it fresh. Maybe around a day old, but not older than that either. Yes, they were close to the mystery man; but not that close... Her instincts were also pushing her to action, but not as much as the growing discomfort inside her, that a bit slightly more difficult to control. However, her well-polished abilities that nobody in town knew of; neither did Diwana nor Jack, kept her in calm control. These skills of hers, others would only get to know quite a long while later; when this story was told and retold. “I’ll go ahead through the hall. I believe I can go all the way to the attic and hide there waiting for whoever it is… But, are you sure that person is not Diwana; who for some
Wolf’s Bane STORIES FROM THE PAST
Diwana was still in the middle of the story, with the very attentive Eron intently staring into her dark chocolate brown eyes, when they heard the front door squeak open. They both turned towards it in unison, already knowing who they were going to see. “Hello, we just finished putting all the ingredients of the beef stew inside the Dutch oven and the potatoes are done too. Do you mind if we join you guys so we can listen to the story, too?” Diwa's eyebrows knitted together while Eron couldn't help but smile a bit at what he heard. “Erica, how did you know…” the widow began. “Well… I did kinda hear you…” Macky answered for his older sister, in a sheepish tone. “From the kitchen? I don’t think your ears are that sharp…” “No… I mean, sorta… " the young boy interrupted awkwardly, "I kinda took some wild thyme and marjoram from the side of the house because Erica asked for some and… well…” Di's mouth fell open, “You mean, you eavesdropped on us, Macky? That’s not exactly a nice thin
Wolf’s Bane ATTACK!
Just as the lightning lit up the sky and partially illuminated the master’s bedroom for a second or two, the stranger then started to let his hands roam all over her torso; even while his arms kept her body against his. Diwa immediately felt an automatic repulsion that was even worse when she had to endure her husband’s lovemaking for the first time. At least with Mason, she gave in to his request… With this one, there wasn’t even one. “What are you doing… don’t touch me!” “Huh, still playing hard to get again? Or is this you trying a rape role-play with me? Yeah, I think that’s it…” ”NO! Are you crazy? Why would I even want a rape role-play with you?! LET ME GO!” Diwa’s hair stood on end as she heard the man chuckle behind her, his tone dripping with lust and almost uncontrolled desire. And she didn’t just hear it… She felt it. “Good job with playing the rape victim, Diwana. I am so pleased that you want to make this more believable…” ”NO! I MEAN IT! WHEN I SAY NO, I MEAN… NO
