Jack was huddled on his desk, trying to stop himself from sobbing aloud, lest the other people in the other offices would hear. After all, the walls were just plaster-covered and wallpaper-wrapped plywood that was not even thick enough to stop a burly man’s strong punch.

Not that he ever tried to do that…

After all, he was never one to have a problem with showing emotions. As a matter of fact, his parents had always encouraged it.

What they asked of him was to hide the truth about his sister’s disappearance, but not his feelings about it.

    Meanwhile, back at the Oro Alpha Bed and Breakfast…Right after Orlie had gone back inside the house to show off his brand-new wheelchair to whoever was willing to listen to him, the remaining men on the porch began their serious talk among themselves. Meanwhile, the Left Hand was continuing to drive slowly towards the governor’s residence as he continued his mobile phone call with Ed Kahlagu’s Snitch who was surrounded by his new male friends.“Hello, Hero-san. I never thought I’d find myself calling you at this time.” Myron somberly stated, not really sure of what he was supposed to say.“Neither did I, Detective,” replied the still disbelieving smooth and low voice on the multiple awarded flatfoot’s mobile, which was on speaker phone for the sake of the four elderly men surrounding the large circular porch table.They literally look like King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table, except that the young officer’s mobile represents that moment’s King Arthur. Ironically, Senyor An

    Meanwhile, somewhere inside the Camden Packhouse…“Yes, Helena. Jack said they will be waiting for our arrival two days from now.”“Great work, Alicia. I’ll just finish our final date night for the month to reduce any suspicion of what we’re planning to do. Right after V’s date night with me, I’ll immediately contact you to meet me at the packhouse copter hangar. I’m sure my mate will be asleep after our long and arduous lovemaking, allowing us to go leave, with our sudden departure only to be noticed the next morning.”“And by that time, we would already be there in Mendez, probably enjoying your Twinny and my brother’s friends and company.”“Not, probably, dearest friend but assuredly. Make sure to pack your bags as early as now since you do plan to bring Myrrh and Victor with you, right?”“Yes, I do intend to bring them. But I also need to call my husband just so he does not worry.”“Please tell him that he should avoid telling my mate about our plans before they happen.”“I’m sure

    Speaking of bondslave, Eron pops the question as soon as they arrive home...“When are we gonna bake Twinny’s cake, Diwa”“First of all, we have to decide what we will bake. What’s Helena’s favorite flavor?”“That’s easy. It’s choco fudge with nuts. She also loves those mini lava cakes.”“Oh, so she’s a chocolate lover...”“Actually, we both are but my fave cake is the Black Forest cake and rocky road cupcakes. But, we focus on my Twinny’s fave for now.”“Well, maybe we can bake your favorite another time.”“Ok, I’ve always wanted those cupcakes on a picnic or something like that… even my wedding someday. They can even be perfect giveaways instead of those little baskets with fake flowers and name tags,” the former assassin rambled enthusiastically.“So you want to give food on your wedding as a giveaway? That’s very practical of you, Eron.”Well, if you want to be REALLY practical, I would really want you to be my bride for my wedding, if that is even possible, Diwa. But that can’t e

    While using a mindlink, a certain Luna was speaking to her best female friend somewhere in the packhouse…Alicia, can you hear me?Yes, Luna… Do you want me and my kids over at the hangar immediately?No, not yet anyway. Change of plans… We’ll leave by morning after 24 hours from today. Virgil found out about our trip. He’s amenable to it and I’ve decided to thank him properly. Hence, the 24-hour delay.Oh, I see. At least the Alpha didn’t try to stop us, Helena.Also, V promised to send Antoine to pilot us there.Wonderful! That is preferable since we have two little ones to watch over as we travel. And admittedly, it is not a nearby location.Yes, and for that I offered to personally thank my mate with a special session of his own, friend.May the Goddess then bless you both and let me know when you need us to begin our travels to Mendez, my good friend. I will be eagerly awaiting your mindlink orders…+++Back to the baking project, Eron secretly speed-whipped the icing after his t

    Diwana has never had a journal before, but it seems that she would need one now. Madame Merhi had required her to do so as a means for her to release her doubts, hesitancy and second thoughts about her magical powers and Fae parent.So, she had no choice but to search the attic for one of her deceased husband's large blank, hardbound record books; which he used to write down his list of jobs and payments. He kept a good number of them before he died, without considering his sudden death due to the fatal flu.Happy to have found about half a dozen of these journal-like notebooks, Diwana began to write down her first lesson that morning, when Matakaw had revealed Eron’s hidden secret: his unspoken love, affection and devotion to his clueless landlady, who happens to be her. After that, she began to write a personal letter to her Tikbalang King patriarch…“Dear Itay,Sorry, but I can’t call you Tatang, like I called my adoptive human father because, first of all, you are two completely d

  • Wolf’s Bane    PLEASURABLE PLAYTIME

    The current Alpha of the Camden lineage woke up groggily from the very “active” night his mate had given him and since she promised to give him more “fun activities” today he was excited yet a little hesitant to know what her plans for the day were.“Well, she did promise me a BDSM session, although it's not clear to me how intense she plans it to be,” Virgil murmured sleepily, as he began to yawn and stretch.His arms only went up a few inches from their memory foam mattress before he realized he was bound to the bed with thick, strong cotton rope on all of his wrists and ankles…“What the heck… Princess?”WHAP! A thick vicious-looking bullwhip hits his right wrist’s cords…“You will address me as Mistress Helena or suffer the consequence, slave!” was “his princess’” reply while pulling back her whip and brandishing it in front of his startled but delighted face.Oh boy, when she promised me this kind of session last night she really wasn't kidding! My Princess pulled out all the st

  • Wolf’s Bane    END OF THE BEGINNING

    It was just the same morning as always for Diwana and her champion/ secret admirer/protector. As always, they delivered food items for the lumber mill, and to Jack’s relief and Eron’s surprise, the mad one still have not approached Diwa’s table. According to the HR manager, Pat, the squirrel-headed team leader had asked permission earlier to go deep into the forest again to look for more trees to harvest.Speak of the devil…Max was indeed deep in the forest but it wasn’t for woodcutting. Oh, no way. Jose!He was now at his second secret hiding place, which was the old mine where he ordered his former cohorts to look and dig for gold. During his lengthy interview with the city cop, he was unknowingly informed by the friendly flatfoot that he had asked the female house watcher to help clean and fix up the Oro Vista Luna, and even include anyone who would be willing to help her in the aforementioned task. So with this in mind, he had to prepare a new hidden location to move his secret

    “Oh dear me, what have we here?” Diwa asked out loud as she approached the Luna property’s door. “Well, hello there…” The widow was about to enter the more compact Oro Vista residence when she found a lone feline at the stately mansion’s double doors. Those elegant entryways were one of the unique features of the house that the kids’ parents have invested in and installed when they were still alive. “Hi kitty cat,” she continued to croon while she petted the pure ebony feline with large golden eyes which was now rubbing itself on her lower thighs. “I don’t think I’ve met you before,” No, we have not. I’m Spades, by the way. And I am currently living in the village with Senyor Antonio, who is currently caring for me... The surprised female suddenly took her hand away from the all-black puss. Oh right, I completely forgot that I can ‘talk’ to animals! No need to be afraid of me, Mistress Diwana. After all, I’m actually your Familiar, Spades the feline stated with conviction. Oh rea

    “I just can’t believe how fast things are going for you, Boss!” stated an awed Orlie as he looked at his employer in admiration. “Imagine, you suddenly were asked to be someone’s best-man just yesterday. Suddenly, you’re already the groom today, even if you only had a girlfriend for only few hours. Wow, talk about being instantly promoted!”“Indeed, he is boy,” a slightly unfamiliar middle-aged male voice spoke from the open screen and front door of the Alpha mansion. “And that would mean that he is extremely lucky, right son?”“Mom, Dad, Sis, you’re all here!” exuberantly exclaimed Jack, feeling a little sheepish at the realization that he was so focused on his future wife that he completely forgot to tell his family about his sudden wedding even through text message. “Where are your kids, Sorah?”“They’re just outside playing with the other children of this house,” Sorah informed his younger brother with a honeyed giggle. “Shame on you, Jack, for not telling us about your plans to ma

  • WANTED AND UNWANTED GUESTS

    “Hey you there, time to eat up. Your meal is here now!”Max looked up from the wooden bed that he was sitting on inside the small metal jail cell where he was earlier incarcerated. The two city cops who had arrested him almost a day before had took mug shots, his fingerprints and the whole she-bang, acting like they were in an actual police precinct . He was actually wondering if he will be given something to eat since his grumbling stomach was already telling him how much he needed some food right at that moment. And he was so famished that he was very willing to eat anything that was offered to him.Well, it seems his captors aren’t such a bad lot after all, since here they were providing him more than the usual amount of sustenance. As he glanced at the mounds of grub on the aluminum tray that the spindly male youth was offering him at that moment he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.“Thank God, what took you guys so long? I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday, dude!”

  • MAGICAL EXPOSÈ

    “OK Mama Diwana, we’re finally here now in the kitchen. What were you planning to show us?” the eldest Wolf offspring asked a little eagerly as her younger siblings excitedly surrounded her and echoed her words.“Yes, mommy Di, what is it all about?” the youngest inquired in her cutest voice.“You can tell us, Mom Diwa. We promise that we’ll be able accept it, whatever it may be,” encouraged the sharpest of the three, which happened to be the only male teen in the Alpha villa at that time.Eron’s charming smile stretched slightly wider at what he heard from the young trio. He then lightly nudged his hesitant and still nervous mate forward toward their adopted kids to encourage and strengthen her confidence even further. The wolf-man also nodded to his Twinny, the middle-aged female Merhi spouse and Police Chief Bilal who were all cheerfully grinning back at him.“Go on cherry tart, they are all eagerly waiting for your admission and they promise to accept it all,” Eron stated with an

  • A HOPEFUL REVELATION

    “My children, can I talk to all three of you in private,” the tanned long-haired adoptive mom requested as she slowly entered the still half-filled living room since the first batch of elderly Ärgers had yet to return with their promised catch of rabbits and hares. “This is really important to me and I need to share this special secret of mine with all of you before our city visitors arrive.”“OK, Mama. Where shall we talk about it?” the eldest Wolf offspring asked for herself and her very curious siblings as she stood up from the armchair that was beside her beloved Orlando Kyle’s high-tech motorized wheelchair. “Although, I think I already have a feeling about what you are planning to tell us.”The young surrogate mother looked at her step-daughter with a hesitant look before speaking again, “I would prefer that I tell you in the kitchen since I plan to show you proof of what I will reveal there,” Diwana stated in a determined but still anxious tone.“Go on, kids! You just get to th

  • FACING THE TRUTH

    “Dad, what’s this I hear that you’ll be sending your special troops to help the governor with keeping his people under control?”The Brigadier General could not answer his son Bien’s query at once. He was fully aware of how his sole offspring sees the Kahlagus despite them saving him and his mom from the killer flu that ravaged the country about a couple of years ago. His only boy, who is now a young man, is part of a social awareness group that is on the verge of being called resurgent if not for their connection to the government’s army and their continuous assistance to the public during major natural disasters.But due to their consciousness of the present socio-political situation of their city, which includes the corrupt actions of current political bigwigs of their state, Bien Castaṅeda is very much against any kind of assistance that his military father would give to the Kahlagus. This new decision by his Dad is not going well due to their recent closeness. True, Bien’s parent

  • A LOVING REMINDER

    “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

  • OPENING CLOSED DOORS

    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

  • ASKING PERMISSION

    “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

  • SPECIAL INTRODUCTIONS

    “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
