Wolf’s Bane SIDE STORIES
“Are you sure you want me to stay here in Mendez tonight, Alpha Virgil?” the extremely uneasy pilot/bodyguard asked his caller and superior repeatedly while he temporarily stepped out of the mansion’s full dining room.It was still crowded in there, despite Jack’s quick arrival and departure with his sister and her two kids. But they did manage to carry back to their childhood house the half-eaten three-layered chocolate fudge cake. It had fluffy mini-mallows and crushed various nuts mixed into the sticky bread portions, which was Jack’s ordered cake. It was quite surprising and impressive that two adult Schneider siblings were able to bring it with them despite having no box that could fit the humongous confection and having two rambunctious and overactive pre-school-aged children happily running and skipping beside them.This is why Antoine needed the change of location to talk to his superior, and he chose to make his call standing alone on the Oro Vista mansion’s porch. “I could e
Wolf’s Bane SIDE STORIES, THE SEQUEL
“Oooohhh…” Helena gushed excitedly. “What I wouldn’t give for me to take a photo of his face when she tells him all about his Travesty wolf and he hears from his new wife why he thinks and believes he can’t hear a different voice whenever his wolf Nox would try to speak with him.”“True!” the more magically knowledgeable of the enchantresses bemusedly agreed with a short and soft chuckle. “And both Nox and his still-unaware human will play a significant role in protecting Mendez, the city, and our unsuspecting Faye princess Diwana from the evil governor, his vile witch of a wife, and his cruel and corrupt underlings.”“And when they do attack, we will be sure to be ready for them,” the Luna stated bravely and with firm certainty ringing in her tone. “Of that, I am positive and confident about. Mrs. Merhi.”“Uhm, excuse me Madames?” a muffled female teen-age voice cried out from behind the bedroom door along with a timid but loud enough set of knocks.Tessie hurriedly stood up from whe
Wolf’s Bane PREPARATIONS
Eron carefully raised his head from the bed where his mate and new wife were now exhaustingly but peacefully slumbering. He could clearly hear a faint buzzing from somewhere in the dark room, since they did turn off the lights after their long and amazing hours of lovemaking. It’s just that he needed to turn it off, whatever it was before it woke up the sleeping naked and tanned woman under one of his muscled and wide upper arms since he did wake up because of the bothersome sound himself.Oh, I forgot she is not a werewolf like me but a magical shifter! So, most likely, she doesn’t have heightened wolf hearing like mine. But I don’t know that for sure since we haven’t talked about her supernatural Faye powers yet, so I better find that irritating humming sound and find a way to stop it.With great care, the man who had just gotten married slowly released Diwana's head from his left arm, then sat on the edge of the bed, silently and intently listening to identify the origin of the unk
Wolf’s Bane HEARTFELT CONFESSIONS
“Oh, so you are both werewolves too, just like the Right Hand, correct?” the award-winning detective asked aloud, hoping for a confirmation from the pair of husband and wife before him. “Are you three the only shifters here in Mendez?”“Well, yesterday our Luna and her best friend arrived via a chopper at the Oro Vista Alpha mansion. Our Alpha and his best friend - the man you know as the Left Hand - told me so a few hours ago,” replied the boyish-looking constable. “So, for now, you have at least five Lycans in the village as of this moment…”“For now?” Raquel interrupted, a little anxiously. “Does that mean you’re expecting more to arrive, Serg?”“I’m afraid it can’t be avoided because of Eleuthera, Miss Marinetti,” the younger officer admitted, his voice firm and confident.“Eleuthera? What is that, dude?”So, within the next hour and a half, the Joseph mates shared their role in the efforts of their packs to minimize the negative effects of the former mayor’s schemes in Mendez. Al
Wolf’s Bane RETURNING TO THE PAST
Jack was presently happily playing tour guide to his older sister and her two noisy and gleeful kids. In his arms was his three-year-old niece with the bright yellow head of hair who still wanted to be the family’s baby hence, her cute insistence to be carried by her heavily muscled Uncle Jack. Meanwhile, her older dark-haired, big brother Victor, who wanted to be treated like one of the grown-ups tried to match his mother’s stride since he was playing the role of his mom’s strong but young bodyguard. And this was because his equally ebony-haired father told him over via a phone call last night to ‘take care of his mama’ while he hadn’t joined them yet.The small group of relatives was now taking an impromptu tour of the village and planned to later take the roundabout way to the Schneider lumberyard so Jack could share the family business and how far it has grown under his management. But that was for later…“Jack, isn’t that Emily coming from the village hospital?”“It is, Sorah!” c
Wolf’s Bane FINDING YOUR FOUNDATIONS
“I’m sorry, Emily. But it seems your family has left Mendez and transferred somewhere else,” the potbellied Police Chief sadly said as he placed one of his fat and wide palms on the petite lass’ slim back. “After all, it has been more than three years since you have disappeared.”“I know Chief Bilal,” dejectedly stated the poor female witness as she wiped her falling tears from her dark brown eyes. “I suddenly remember now that my oldest sister worked in Israel and she was pushing to transfer my whole family there before I was kidnapped.”“So since your home is now locked up tight, it would be safe to say that your elder sibling’s plan worked, and they have migrated to Israel now,” concluded the middle-aged overweight male with a wry smile at Emily, who he noticed with deep concern, was sniffing back tears. “Are you alright, girl?”“Well, since I no longer have to be afraid that they might reject me after I tell them everything that happened all these years after I disappeared,” the p
Wolf’s Bane FINALLY MEETING HIS WOLF
“I just finished doing the inventory for all food items in our two freezers Mama,” proudly announced the oldest among the Wolf children as she continued to go through a compact checklist on her blue springless notepad while writing down the available pastries, dishes and desserts in their kitchen. “We currently have 10 different kinds of fruit pies, seven savory ones, around fifty various fruit tarts, the same number of rice cakes, more than forty-five servings of creamed mushroom soup, a large party container of flat pasta noodles, along with double that volume of macaroni twists. One gallon each of creamy carbonara, cheesy pesto and Filipino sweet marinara sauce with hot dog slices, ground beef and grated cheese. Also, we still have a circular two-layer chocolate fudge cake with nuts and mini marshmallows. Last but not least, three dozen plastic-wrapped lava cakes, forty fudge brownies with various kinds of nuts, seventy butter scones stuffed with raspberry jam, a hundred each of ch
Wolf’s Bane 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
