Wolf’s Bane FATHER AND SONS ONCE AGAIN
Meanwhile, Virgil walked, focused and determined, thinking over and over again on ways to tell his father how things really were. Also, in the back of his mind, a thought, encouraged by his beloved mate, was opening a way and was threatening to come out.If it only had the chance to...V, the loving mate, was a very different man from Virgil the friend, the business partner, and even more so, different as Alpha Virgil Camden. He's known by many as a coolly calculating, ruthless man and that’s why many thought his only balance was his mate.This is a reputation he’d have to maintain especially, if not more so, with his father, who long ago had stopped being the loving patriarch of the two boys. His senior has now become a proud man only worried about position, money, lineage, and appearances, and was warmed by very, very few things.Virgil opened the double doors of his office, and walked in tall and proud, almost as if marking his territory.The man he found inside, tall as him, and m
Wolf’s Bane WHAT REALLY MATTERS
“I’m sorry to say this, father, but your mistakes are not mine.”Virgil listened once again to that story that happened a few years before he took the lead of the pack and the related businesses. Once again, he listened carefully, but again too, was convinced of his motivations to agree with the business proposal that the Governor, the same man that had costed millions to SilverClaw and many others, years before, had discussed with him earlier that same day.“What is that supposed to mean, Virgil?” Henkjan walked a step closer to his son, still looking at him with the same cold stare.“If I tell you that I have not only strong reasons to go through with this business but have more intentions behind it, would you trust me and be calmer?” V said this as an answer, but in his mind, there was not only business, but a few other things that in recent times he’s been holding against his father, whom he once admired blindly.The question hit the older man hard, but there was no response. Aft
Wolf’s Bane WHAT REALLY MATTERS (LEVEL 2)
“Calm down, V… Calm down, now. She can’t see you like this… not today. You put a lot of effort into making her happy tonight. Don’t make her worry about you now…” Virgil told himself over and over as he walked all the way to their apartment, trying to let go of the conversation that had just happened. The bruise from the slap was pretty much healed - advantages of a werewolf’s fast healing - but there were other internal "bruises" that wouldn’t heal so soon. At least for that night, though, he would make sure that everything was perfect for his beloved mate.He finally stood in front of their door. V took a couple of dip breaths and then went in.“Beautiful? Where are you, princess?”“In the bathtub, love. I’m trying to see if I stay long enough, I’ll grow a mermaid tail,” she giggled. “The water is still warm. You actually didn’t take as long as I thought you would… though I look like a raisin already.”He was received by low mood lighting and the soft romantic music that she herse
Wolf’s Bane OLD AND NEW FAMILY
It was still dark when the mysterious stranger made his phone call. He tried to keep his voice low as he heard his call being picked up on the fifth ring.“Where the hell did you end up last night, Orlando?!” the caller hissed through his thick weaved mask. “I was looking all over for you for hours but I couldn’t find you anywhere. Where the hell were you?”“Sorry Boss, I didn’t mean to leave you hanging. Something big happened last night and I gotta tell you, things just happened so fast that I didn’t realize what was happening and then I couldn’t do anything about it and…”“Whoa, whoa, whoa… stop right there… I need to get back to work today and I don’t dare be late, not after what happened last time. You should really come over to replace me. There really is something going on with this Eye Candy City Boy and I need someone spying on him as much as possible. You can go ahead and tell me everything when I replace you here after work tonight, but I really need you to shut up right no
Wolf’s Bane OLD AND NEW FAMILY (PART 2)
“Ah yes… I still remember this one. Dad was planning to give it to me before but we completely forgot about it. It’s quite remarkable that you found it. Didn’t even think it was still around, since Mom was the one who named it when they were still dating.”“Oh wow, really? So that’s why we would give names to our stuff. I didn’t know that it was her idea.”“Well, she believed that machines also are aware of their masters. If the owners would name them, that would strengthen the bonds between them and even energize the machine to perform better and live longer. Since Dad hadn’t named his motorcycle yet after Grandad bought it for him, Mom did it for him.”“Bro, I suddenly have an idea…”He went to his father’s office that day because of a discovery he made in one of the deepest parts of their basement garage. Since he was a teenager, he was totally excited with his find and he really intended to bring it back to life.Especially when his older brother told him the story behind the forg
Wolf’s Bane OLD AND NEW FAMILY (PART 3)
His trip down memory lane was not so pleasant but it did give Eron enough strength to push aside his sleepiness and get up from the bed. He tossed aside the blanket and tried to look around for the towel that he wore last night to temporarily cover his nakedness.It was nowhere to be found…“That’s odd, I could have sworn I was wearing it last night when I went back to the room…” he whispered to himself, still searching around the bed just in case it fell off the mattress as he slept. “Or was I? Wait a tick...”Just then he heard fast but not-so-heavy footsteps rushing from one room and going through the corridor. It was followed by another set of firmer footsteps and it sounded like it was running after the lighter runner.And they were both headed towards his door!Eron’s thoughts: “Shit, did I even lock that thing? Damn, too late to find out…”As he wolf-sped towards the farthest corner of his room where his clothes were still piled messily, one on top of the other, his hands swift
Wolf’s Bane UNWELCOMED GOSSIPY GUESTS
“Dad, I consider walking as my only exercise these days because of how busy I am. That jeep won’t be helping me at all.”“It would help you get home a lot more, so you can be with your parents more,” snapped the former schoolteacher.“I’m sure you mean well, Ma’am, but I do have my reasons,” Jack replied as he took another swig of his drink, then he whispered, “And I’m sure you have yours…”“Did you say something, son?” Ms. Nelia said, trying to catch what she thought she heard.“Nothing, Ma’am...”Jack knew he should stop saying his thoughts aloud. At work, people didn’t mind him doing that since he's the boss, but, even though he knew that this gossip’s hearing was now slowly deteriorating, he knew that was not a free pass to voice all his thoughts.Nope, definitely not for these talkative women’s ears.“I still don’t understand why you had to eat at Diwana’s house instead of here with your parents, son. Of course, we were here with them but I’m sure there you could have easily join
Wolf’s Bane THE DINNER INVITATION
“He did, huh? Well then, if he saved your life, I’m indebted to him. As a matter of fact, I think we should even meet him and thank him personally. What do you think, Carmel?”“Why that’s a great idea, Paul. And you said he’s now living at Diwana’s place, right? I’m sure he can manage to walk over after work and meet us. That is, if that’s ok with you, Jack.”Jack almost choked on the last bit of his beer, but he did manage to take that last swallow without spitting it out.“You want to meet him?” he asked with a rasping voice.“Yes, your mom and I. It would be good to meet the savior of my son and get to know more about him.”“We can make him feel even more welcome since he is a newcomer…”Jack’s thoughts: Me and my big mouth… and my parents happen to be Maximilian's fans. Oh boy…“Uhhh, he’s just fairly new out here, dad. It wouldn’t be good to force him to meet people just because his boss said so.”“Well, tell him that you mother and I are still the owners of the lumberyard, even
