Wolf’s Bane LOVE AND PAIN (BOOK 2)
Lyon being so sure of himself was, nevertheless, not enough reassurance for an almost panicky Hero who was now trying his best to hold his emotions under control as he had done so many years before. However, he was now noticing, to his absolute chagrin, that his coldness would go out the window every time the situation was about his mate. “So… finally alone, huh?” Alicia said, nervous and blushing as she sat on the bed. “Mm-hmm,” was the sole response that she got from the tall, broad-shouldered man in front of her. Alicia couldn't help but smile then, for him looking so vulnerable. She looked up at her worried mate, standing almost unmoving and yet, glancing at the door as if he was planning to run away, and smiled at him. For a moment, she remembered when he saved her and she saw him for the first time, his wide shoulders and marked muscular back that she had loved to sink her nails into. The few days in which the only thing they did was to make love were still so recent and fre
Wolf’s Bane GAMES WE PLAY (VOL. 1)
“Baby, I can’t believe we’re really going on a cross-country vacation right in the middle of you wanting to work double time to earn enough for our wedding. What happened to change your mind?” “Well, I still need to use my paid leave and the higher-ups demanded it since I’ve been putting it on hold for years now. Besides, got myself a sweet assignment my dear baby girl, and it’s going to pay me extra moolah, too. It’s so big, we can have a really cool vacay without worrying about spending our savings, aaaand even add to our bank account, too.” The city’s multi-awarded blond and boyish Detective was smiling widely throughout his explanation, as he hugged his darling light brown-haired fiancé around her narrow waist and brought her towards him for a quick but loving kiss. He was in such a good mood today that he felt like having a Different kind of “meal” but since Raquel had just served him breakfast in bed, he knew had no choice but to eat the bacon, eggs, buttery French toast, and b
Wolf’s Bane GAMES WE PLAY (VOL. 2)
“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
Wolf’s Bane UNTIL NEXT TIME
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
Wolf’s Bane UNTIL NEXT TIME AGAIN
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
Wolf’s Bane UNTIL NEXT TIME ONCE AGAIN
“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
Wolf’s Bane LADIES’ CHOICE
“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
Wolf’s Bane AGREE TO DISAREE
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

GETTING READY TO GET MARRIED
“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 didn’t even have a girlfriend then you suddenly were asked to be someone’s best-man just yesterday. Suddenly, you’re already the groom today. 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 marriage and his future wife that he completely forgot to tell his family about his sudden wedding even through text message. “Aren’t your kids with you, Sorah?”“They’re just outside playing with the other kids of the house,” Sorah informed his younger brother with a honeyed giggle. “Shame on you little bro for not telling us about your pla
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
