“Done, you will be given approval the minute you file for your paid leave online. What else?”“Uhhh… This part of my task would take a bit of travelling and staying in remote places, Sir. I really am in the middle of planning out my wedding within a few months so I can’t use any of my own funds for this. I’m sorry, you did promise me a large amount upon completing this mission, but I really can’t afford…”“Done, and I’ve just finished transferring a substantial amount to your personal bank account which you can use for your travel expenses. It is a separate financial arrangement from your payment upon succeeding with my request. Feel free to contact me at once if you need more funds for your cross-country trip, and I don’t care if he goes out of the country, you go and follow him, Detective, is that clear?”“Wow, Sir Kahlagu, I’m so… overwhelmed. Thank you so much!”“No need to thank me as this is part of our arrangement, Officer. Now, is there anything else that you might need to beg
The mansion was not in any way similar to the Governor’s, not in style, colour scheme or size. Obviously, this residential property was around a third of the size of the place which he had just left behind, due to him being a half-reluctant sacrificial lamb, but that wasn’t what he really minded about this place.It was the fact that he was with someone he wished he never was with...Bren decided to leave Chin’s bedroom as soon as he could hear the woman’s snores. They weren’t loud and he could easily take a sexual partner being loud. What he couldn’t stand was her wheezing inhalation that was a continuous pattern in Different pitches. All of those nasal sounds were high-pitched, and all of them were intensely irritating for him.He would rather be beside a snoring pig, to be honest.“How I got chosen to be her ‘flavor of the month’ I still can’t understand, but beggars can’t be choosers. Besides, my being with her practically solves the problem of finding a spy that can report on he
And just when H put down his phone so he could help out Virgil with cutting the meat for the meal he was planning, he suddenly got another call. Instinctively, he looked at his phone’s flashing screen and decided to take it. “Give me a few more minutes, bro. I just need to get this report…”“No problem, Hero. You can just tell me how to cut these carrots.”“Just peel them. Use that vegetable peeler, and I’ll do the slicing later…” The Ogre instructed as he answered the call. “Hello...”“Hey, just needed you to know that your favorite snitch has a lead on his target, and he’s following it up as we speak.”“Alright, what do you know about it?”“Well, he made me gather information about a certain ‘special ride’ and I gave him my findings. But unknown to him I added a few itineraries that would kinda keep him travelling for a few extra days and that’s the good news.”“And what’s the bad news?”At this point, Virgil finished peeling the carrots and held it up in silence, a questioning exp
“Hey Eron, are you already here at the lumberyard? I really need to talk to you before the workday starts.” He got Jack’s call as soon as he finished helping Diwa layout and display her dishes and desserts on the vacant table of her choice. Even as the staff surrounded the widow and her offers, he would hear his mobile phone ringing and there was his boss’ name flashing on the screen of his smartphone. “Hey, Jack. Sure boss, just wait for me, I’m already walking towards the office building.” Eron answered as he waved a short goodbye to his landlady, as Diwa suddenly looked his way upon hearing him on the phone. ”Just wait a moment, ok? “Sure, I’m not about to go anywhere. I really think we should deal with this now before we begin the day, so I hope you don’t mind..." Eron heard the slightly apologetic tone in Jack’s voice as he entered the large and spacious two-story office building of their workplace. He climbed the metal stairs hurriedly so he could get to his employer right aw
“Look at you, Victor! You’re all grown up! I can’t believe I missed all the years that you were still a baby… I hope you’re taking good care of your little sister, Myrrh...” the Luna exclaimed in delight while holding the older, yet, still very young boy of the couple hosting them, and playing with the shiny, blond curls of the little girl by her side. Virgil looked at his mate with a big smile on his face. Alicia and Helena were the first to walk inside the cozy two-story home, and the second Helena saw the two cute kids playing together on the floor of the living room, she briskly walked towards them to instantly sit on the floor so they could play and talk together. “I believe she likes children,” Hero slightly whispered to Virgil, avoiding at all costs to embarrass his old friend’s mate, but slightly teasing V at the same time. “She does. The kids at the packhouse love her…” V said, in the same almost whispering tone, and still not taking his eyes from his lady. “I hope you do
Who said working in a lumberyard was boring? Not for these three gentlemen, it wasn't.“Jack, I don’t mean to sound like some insubordinate jerk, but why the hell is he here?” the eye candy new hire asked as he approached his superior’s desk.“Well, I can tell you that I’m not exactly happy being here but our beloved boss told me that if we don’t talk to each other and fix this, then we will be having huge pay cuts this week,” replied the dead squirrel as he walked after Eron.“Excuse me, what?” The Charmer snapped at the man behind him. “Correction, Max… it’s supposed to be YOU who needed to talk to him and fix this or YOU will be having a huge pay cut this week,” interrupted Jack as he stood up and put both his hands on his table’s edge.The team leader’s eyes almost popped out of his head, “ME?! I don’t need to explain anything to him!”“YES, YOU DO! I’ve asked around and heard you’ve been giving him a hard time according to some people. He’s practically a newbie and you’re bullyi
"Hey wait a fucking minute..." The Charmer whispered to himself. "Max didn't put up a fuss when Jack said he might have to pay for my motorbike... Why that scumbag son of a bitch, I oughta..."“Eron, what did you find?”“Huh, uh… what? Find? What do you mean?” he stammered as he looked around the basement trying to act busy.“I mean you’ve been staring at that machine for the longest time and not even saying anything. Anything the matter?”“Oh, no, no…” the new boarder answered his landlady, realizing that he was too immersed in his memory a few minutes before. “It’s me just studying the way this works. Too bad there isn’t a manual.”“Of course, there is. Why didn’t you just ask me? I can search the attic for it later after we’ve finished eating lunch, which is about an hour from now.”‘Yeah, that sounds awesome. And thanks for showing me all of this, Miss Diwana. Now, I have more hopes of putting Scorpia together.”“Well, you are free to use all this anytime you want, on one conditio
And now, back in the present, she had finally decided to leave the home that she had with her mate for the longest time. Yet, after so many previous years of hopping from one place to another, to hide from Hero’s past, and sadly, present, just as her friend promised, she and her family would have a future.It’s just that she hated being away from him. or at the very least, hated not knowing what would be happening to him. Especially now, when she knew he would be scarcer since she would be somewhere he’s assured that she and their children will be safe, and he had now decided to pursue his plans. Plans that she knew nothing about…And that’s what’s scaring her so much more than being far away from him.“Sorah, it will be alright. I know it will, ok?”The Ogre’s mate came back to the present as she heard her friend’s comforting tone and the touch of her hand on her arm. Alicia’s smile was sincere, but her voice was a bit shaky as she replied to Helena with a slow nod.“I really, real
“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
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
“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
“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
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
“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.
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
“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
“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
