Wolf’s Bane DETOURS IN A WIDE STRIKE ZONE
He would talk about his frustration while he and his beloved girlfriend sat in a secluded booth at the resort’s famous restaurant, in the midst of miniature tropical palm trees, rattan woven furniture, and small hanging chandeliers that peppered the wood-lined ceiling. “Oh baby, don’t worry too much about that. Maybe you'll find more info in the other places that we're going to visit,” said the girl in the pink mini-sun dress.“Yeah, but I don’t think my client will be happy to hear that kind of report today,” said the guy in the khaki shorts and sleeveless beach shirt.“But we’re supposed to leave tomorrow, right? I’m sure he will understand. Just tell him that you’ll go to the next place bright and early and will give him an update as soon as you arrive there,” assured Raquel with a smile as she sipped her piňacolada.Myron smiled back and drank from his Cuba libre. “Alright, baby doll, thanks. I just don’t know what I'd do without you. Can you please order for us while I make my p
Wolf’s Bane A LADY IN DISTRESS
Meanwhile, in another apartment a few minutes away from the Alpha’s suites…“Mommy, is daddy gonna come live with us?” asked the little girl as she dressed up in her PJs, then grabbed her stuffed wolf toy.“Soon, baby, but not right now.”“Yeah Myrrh, he’s got a lot of important things to do, to make us safe. That’s what he told us before we went flying in the eli-kop-ter, right, Mama?” the boy asked as their mom tucked them into bed.“Yes, Victor. He promised to keep us safe.”“I hope he also promised to keep himself safe… he will be safe, right Mama?”“I hope so baby girl, I truly, TRULY hope so…” answered Alicia as she kissed her little girl goodnight.+++“Huh? I don’t remember washing this… and what could it be doing here on a no-laundry day?” Diwana looked in dip thought at the items that were hanging on the clothes line beside the house. “And, from here, I could swear that it’s Eron’s blanket and bed sheets, and I don't recognize this pair of jeans as any of the kids’ clothing…
Wolf’s Bane MORE ON THE LADY IN DISTRESS
The two men finally noticed that what she was experiencing was nothing more than a deep fear, and, for a moment, the three adults remained standing, frozen in place.Jack was equally puzzled by Diwana’s distress, and the fact that she, who was hugging Eron like her life depended on it, was well known for keeping her distance from any of the guys in the village and the lumber camp just to make sure that they didn’t get any weird or wrong ideas about her intentions. The Lumberyard boss was now looking at the scene as if there was a giraffe with two heads right in front of him instead of his friends. And it was quite clear that their faces were really close to each other...“Diwa, please, tell me, what happened?” Eron asked, concern in his voice while he continued to feel his heart pounding strongly within his chest…The new renter's thoughts: Weren’t you supposedly living here to protect her?Eron was now reprimanding himself while paying close attention to his enhanced senses, trying
Wolf’s Bane ALL THAT GOES UP
“Would you like to tell me some more about what you felt?” Eron said, getting within inches from Diwana, and whispering in her ear, sending chills all over her body. His intoxicating smell was making it hard for her to focus on anything else but him. She hugged the blankets even tighter and bit her lip, trying to give an answer to him…“You wouldn’t believe me,” she said, her eyes reflecting all the bad memories that, what she thought was her curse, had given her. "If I told you..."“Try me,” he said in the same low tone, their cheeks almost touching, as they pretty much hid so the kids didn’t get to know about what was happening outside the dining area.“Well...” she made another attempt, “At times, I feel like my senses perceive more than usual, and most of those times, I feel like someone is watching me… and I feel really vulnerable and scared when that happens…”Eron’s hands curled into tight fists, but he made a huge effort to keep his tone serene and sweet.“That makes sense to
Wolf’s Bane ALL THAT GOES UP (PART 2)
Virgil wolfsped to get his brother’s hand right on time and pulled him back towards the grass carpet.“What was THAT?!” Eron said in amazement.“It’s… training...” Virgil looked down, avoiding his brother’s eyes. "What else do you mean?"“Don’t lie to me, brother…”Defeated, V sighed and started telling Eron.“Recently, somehow, I’ve started feeling things… or seeing things… mostly, have happened when I’m in danger. I wanted to believe at first that it was part of the training, but they have started talking and now father thinks that I just learn that fast… I don’t think I deserve the praise since I can see from where the hits are coming almost before it happens, or when it’s from behind me, I can sort of… isolate… what I see… I don’t know, it’s really weird…”The older boy looked away, and it was evident that he felt bad for what he was confessing.“The worst is that… it’s not just that… At times I can hear what people think…”“Whoaaaa… but, how can you know that it’s what they’re th
Wolf’s Bane INTERNAL ARRANGEMENTS
The Argerlich Mafia leader was already near his superior’s mansion and though it was still early, he felt the need to call it a day. True, he felt revitalized every time he visited his secret wife and children but it all seemed to be swiftly sapped right out of him the moment he started to travel back to his workplace. Considering who was in that luxurious and massive palatial mansion, the way his mind and body would react to sleeping and living there for days at a time was truly understandable. Especially now that they were about to begin their plan to finally end the governor’s reign.Many would probably wonder why they didn’t just remove their corrupt boss from his position through legal and legitimate ways and then have him arrested. Unfortunately, that was truly hard to do. This damn politician had the money, power, and connections to counter even a full military coup d'etat, which would never happen because he had the police and army in the palm of his hand. Besides, he did no
Wolf’s Bane MORE INTERNAL ARRANGEMENTS
Just then, The Ogre was at the door of the bedroom talking to the bedroom security who was now well enough to return to his post... Well, more like TRYING to talk to Nick, but…“Didn’t I tell you before, that I never wanted to talk to you again, after I did what you asked me to do?" "Nick, just hear me out...""What could you say that I might be interested in hearing? Look, I agreed to be one of the governor’s bodyguards and join you here in his mansion, EVEN after what you did to Father. You're the one who said that in exchange for this favor, I would never have to deal with you... Not ever again. So, what's this all about?”“Brother, I…”“You are NOT my brother, LEFT HAND… Not after what happened back at the Arger’s ORIGINAL headquarters. No, I’ll never see you as family… never again… I'm not even part of your precious group anymore, for heaven's sake...”“Nick, please…”“You go on ahead and talk to that motherfucking maniac inside this room. The door’s unlocked anyway and I need
Wolf’s Bane EVEN MORE INTERNAL ARRANGEMENTS
As if feeling the tension of his friend, The Right Hand then sat down at the Senyor's tea table and smiled at his target. “I would like some, yes, and I hope you don’t mind me being so forward to accept.”“Of course not, since I did ask you first, young man. Hero, please join us here. You are being rude to your childhood friend, my boy,” Antonio called out at the man standing at the door.“I’m sorry, Senyor. Yes, I’ll join you….” The Ogre responded as he turned around and strode towards the two again, realizing that this would be the last time he would be sharing a meal with his beloved father figure. “By the way, are you truly at peace with what you do?”Hero froze in the middle of taking his seat, thinking that the question was aimed at him, but then The Right Hand answered, as the oldest man in the room was looking at him.“I… do what needs to be done. My feelings don’t really matter in the end, Sir,” The Assassin answered above the sound of the tinkling of teaspoons, sugar lids a
