Wolf’s Bane MIDNIGHT BLUES
No longer in the car, but in Hero’s apartment.“I can’t believe it. What do you need, money? You have money, Eron. If you’re bored, you can get a regular job…” Virgil was now pacing in front of his younger brother, as he had been doing since he got to know that he had joined the Governor’s private army.“You never told that to Hero, you trusted his decisions!”“What the hell are you saying? How can you know what we talked or didn’t talk about?”“Well, he chose the same route, not taking your money or your jobs…”“Because he’s a proud bastard! And he’s old enough to make up his mind regarding whatever he wants. Besides, he had a regular job before… And I repeat the fact that you didn’t hear it doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen!”“V… I don’t want to depend on the pack… I left for a reason, and I was offered an opportunity at this. I passed my test! And I got recognition for it, unlike with Dad. And hell, how is this different from all the rogues we kill every time they come to our terr
Wolf’s Bane THE SPECIAL BREAKFAST
Meanwhile, miles and miles away, Virgil, who was just about to fall asleep, was suddenly startled by the voice of his little brother, screaming out his name."Eron... What happened to you that you finally unblocked your mindlink? Bro, I really hope you will talk to me soon..."+++“Uuugh, I feel like a truck rolled over me,” were Diwana’s words as soon as her alarm clock went off like it was the alarm for the end of the world.Unwilling to get up and start her day, she snoozed the alarm, granting herself at least another ten minutes before she had to go downstairs and prepare the food for the lumber camp.Not only had she had a psychic sexual encounter with the man she had been lusting after for days already, but her sleep was interrupted by the pained screaming of her room neighbor, and, after getting her body covered with his freshly bathed smell, it was almost impossible to sleep again. “Now that I think about it,” she said to herself, softly and barely awake, not even opening her
Wolf’s Bane BITTERSWEET REMEMBERINGS
The lumber camp was not too far away. A walking distance from his parents' house, if he was patient enough to walk through the forest for at least half an hour… But it so happened that it wasn’t a bad thing. Not after falling asleep thinking of werewolves and his beloved sister.Jack woke up early and left the house before his parents noticed.The air at that hour and up high in the mountain was crisp and fresh, not exactly like the rest of the day would be during the hotter season, and that’s why he enjoyed the early hours so much those days.With a bottle of water and a large crisp green apple taken from his mother’s kitchen, he started walking slowly to work, taking in life and what had brought him.“Sorah, how would things have been if you had not left?” he mumbled, letting the images of himself during the time of his youth invade his head.He wasn’t unattractive, not even as a teenager. Actually, since he went more often than not to help in his father’s company, he was tall and
Wolf’s Bane SOMETHING DIFFERENT
“We do love omelettes! Even Katya likes them! What do you add to them?” Erica gushed while smiling widely, and slightly maliciously. “Let me help you find your ingredients, just tell me what you wanna put in.”“Oh wow! Well, I appreciate it. The way I learned them was with some Italian sauce and cold-cut meats, but I think I would like to try colored bell peppers, mushrooms, and melting cheese. I will also use some strips of bacon if you can spare some from Diwana’s cooking.” Eron looked towards his landlady, who was still moving around acting busier than she should.She took the pastries that she was baking out of the oven and put the tray at the far end of her preparation table while they cooled down. The busty widow then tossed her almost ready chicken and beef, while throwing in her freshly cut peppers, onion and some more mushrooms to that mix, doing it all with her face still unrelentingly blushing.The Charmer focused his eyes on her, right when she tried to take the hot pot w
Wolf’s Bane SOMETHING DIFFERENT AGAIN
Diwana, what the hell are you thinking now? Are you hearing him tell you such things? Your imagination is going wilder, girl. And what was that? ‘First time’ as if it was planned? As if there would be more than one? Come on dear, get a hold of yourself… he’s just being nice, right? He’s just helpful… and so strong…. And… caring…She looked at him again, the way his muscles tensed and flexed as he washed, sorted and chopped his vegetables for his omelettes…“Are you using the stove some more? I really don’t want to be in your way, Diwa…”“N-no, I’m done with the cooking part,” she laughed nervously.OF COURSE, HE SAW YOU! Dammit Diwana, what are you doing? He saw you checking him out… Oh God, can this be more embarrassing? Please, let’s try to act normal… Don’t push him away… please… Don’t make him uncomfortable and make him want to go… at least, let’s have him this close… gosh… What is this feeling of yearning? Of… ARGH! I need more self-control… focus Di. FOCUS! she thought, trying n
Wolf’s Bane WHAT THE FIRE CONSUMED (ACT ONE)
“G-good morning boss…” Orlando said from the place where he rested, sitting on the ground after crashing into Jack and falling back.“Morning to you too, Orlando. You’re really early… Are you going to the camp?”“Yes, sir, I am…” he took the hand that Jack offered him to help him get up.“You’re kind of distracted today… is everything okay?”“Oh… Yes, sir. Just too excited to start my new job. I really hope I do well… I really appreciate the opportunity!” he said bowing, and when he stood straight again, he showed Jack a big, bright smile. The young fledgling looks nervous but full of hope.“That time when I found you near my house, you said that you had been looking for a job for a while… right?”Jack started walking and Orlando followed. Now that he knew they were going to the same place, it was, in a way, good for him, and would help him focus his mind. After all, going all the way alone and thinking why he hated werewolves, or if it was the right thing or not, was something he wa
Wolf’s Bane DEAD MEN DO TELL TALES
“Good morning, Signor Adriano… I’m sorry, I always forget your surname. I’m not good with my Italian... Surnames from there are fairly uncommon up here too,” the man behind the counter of the small store said to one of his most frequent customers for the last few years, who happened to just walk in like he did every morning. “You’re right on time as well, we just got the delivery that is always of interest to you.”Even if he saw him every single morning, the man from the store, who everybody called and knew by ‘Tinio’ who he remembered perfectly even the first time that he saw the gentleman who was standing in front of him, he could never remember many details from him…“It’s okay, Signor Tinio. I have not spoken a word of Italian for the longest time. I actually appreciate that you try to use it with me,” he said, taking his groceries out of his basket and over the counter, including a medium-sized cake that looked incredibly appetizing. This admission made the older Tinio lightly c
Wolf’s Bane THE MISSION
Signor Adriano turned his head to look at the branches. The day seemed to eventually become quite a hot one, as he could see the first yellow bright rays filtering between the sea of leaves that were carpeting the ground. A few animals could be seen from the spot where he stood as he leaned against the kitchen counter. Still hearing it all as if it were all far away. And how the coffee machine loudly boiled and simmered with the last few drops of water into the brown powder that was turning slowly into his coffee.The smell of fresh coffee floating around the room... Spades meowed some more and looked at him, before turning to slowly walk back to his hiding place on one of the seat cushions under his dining table. And, with all that, the memory, clear as day, still played inside his head, even if his eyes were open and looking attentively - sort of - at all his surroundings.+++Antonio saw his surrogate son walk towards the front doorway until his figure was blocked from his view b
