Wolf’s Bane UNWELCOMED GOSSIPY GUESTS
“Dad, I consider walking as my only exercise these days because of how busy I am. That jeep won’t be helping me at all.”“It would help you get home a lot more, so you can be with your parents more,” snapped the former schoolteacher.“I’m sure you mean well, Ma’am, but I do have my reasons,” Jack replied as he took another swig of his drink, then he whispered, “And I’m sure you have yours…”“Did you say something, son?” Ms. Nelia said, trying to catch what she thought she heard.“Nothing, Ma’am...”Jack knew he should stop saying his thoughts aloud. At work, people didn’t mind him doing that since he's the boss, but, even though he knew that this gossip’s hearing was now slowly deteriorating, he knew that was not a free pass to voice all his thoughts.Nope, definitely not for these talkative women’s ears.“I still don’t understand why you had to eat at Diwana’s house instead of here with your parents, son. Of course, we were here with them but I’m sure there you could have easily join
Wolf’s Bane THE DINNER INVITATION
“He did, huh? Well then, if he saved your life, I’m indebted to him. As a matter of fact, I think we should even meet him and thank him personally. What do you think, Carmel?”“Why that’s a great idea, Paul. And you said he’s now living at Diwana’s place, right? I’m sure he can manage to walk over after work and meet us. That is, if that’s ok with you, Jack.”Jack almost choked on the last bit of his beer, but he did manage to take that last swallow without spitting it out.“You want to meet him?” he asked with a rasping voice.“Yes, your mom and I. It would be good to meet the savior of my son and get to know more about him.”“We can make him feel even more welcome since he is a newcomer…”Jack’s thoughts: Me and my big mouth… and my parents happen to be Maximilian's fans. Oh boy…“Uhhh, he’s just fairly new out here, dad. It wouldn’t be good to force him to meet people just because his boss said so.”“Well, tell him that you mother and I are still the owners of the lumberyard, even
Wolf’s Bane HEARTFELT ADVICE
“Hallooo? … Big brother, there’s nobody here…”“Here I am… Good morning, Katya… Hello Macky…”The teenager and the young lass swiftly looked towards him and their eyes grew wide…“WHOA! You’re so biiiiig!”“Uhhh, thank you Katya, just let me finish dressing up, alright…”“Wow Eron… I didn’t realize… your muscles are… big… I mean, really biiiig!”The tall muscled man had his wide back turned towards the kids since he was hiding his blushing face as he was putting on a black sleeveless runner’s shirt. Thankfully, he already had his jeans on and he just let his heart rate calm down and his blushing to abate before turning around to face the children. “Thanks guys, but I don’t think I’m that muscular. You should see my male bestie! Now he’s got really massive biceps and a huge bulging chest and…”“Oh, but I think you’ve got great looking muscles, Eron. Yours are even bigger than Jack’s!”“Ahaha, just don’t let Jack hear that, Katya, or he might get jealous of Eron.”“Hehe, I got to agree
Wolf’s Bane NEW ARRANGEMENTS
Meanwhile, deep in the forest…“What the hell, Jack, you didn’t have to scare me like that!”“Well, I don’t even see why you should be scared…”“Creeping up on me when we’re in the middle of a wolf alert? I know we fought yesterday over me being late and all but you didn’t have to do that to me, sheesh!”“Correction, you fought with me, Max. Besides, what the heck are you doing out here in the woods this early? You live in the lumberyard’s campsite and I don’t even know why you’re here. Of course, you can easily tell me it’s none of my business but in the light of all these weird things happening, I think you better come clean with me.”Max’s eyes narrowed at the nonchalant tone Jack used on him, knowing that the man was actually threatening him underneath all that nice, civil speech of his. The message was, in simple language, “Don’t fuck with me, I know you’re hiding something so ‘fess up!”The team leader sighed and racked his brains in a rush to try and find an explanation that co
Wolf’s Bane SECRET WEAPON
The first, very light vibration of his cellphone that rested at the nightstand had awakened Hiromoto, who stealthily moved out of the bed and sneaked out of the house, taking with him one of the light bed sheets that slipped to the floor during his night ‘activities’ so he could wrap his naked body. He quickly twisted it around his waist, allowing a full view of his muscular upper torso, then he sat up on the porch swing where he thought he wouldn’t be heard. The morning breeze played with his hair, arranging and rearranging it, bringing the smell of soil wet with the night dew to him and deeply relaxing him. For a moment, while he felt the few first rays of sun in his skin, he smiled. A light hope sparkled in him during those mornings where he could be nothing but a loving husband in a farmhouse, far away from the city and its noise. The phone rang for the fifth time, and then he answered to the well-known name that was flashing on the screen. “Good morning, bro, hope you’ve
Wolf’s Bane MORE ON THE SECRET WEAPON
“Nah, not even you believe your own lies. I know you love me. You’re just a mean, cold asshole,” Virgil said with the same joking tone that was considered unusual by everybody around him, with very, very few exceptions.“Whatever you say, bro. At what time do you plan to arrive? I gotta say, you have great timing, I was already planning to go back to the Governor’s house before he misses me too much, you know. Especially now that he’s so desperate to get Eron back, even if it’s back from the grave.”“I know… We’re going past noon, but I believe it would be better if we can take Alicia by surprise.”“I agree with that. Hopefully she doesn’t even suspect so she’s not defensive when the ‘secret weapon’ arrives.”“By secret weapon, you mean…?” “Bro, I guess you don’t remember when the two of them met… do you?”“Oh, I perfectly remember. Two ladies made to perfection to handle two hardheaded guys. Our gifts from the Moon Goddess, bro. How could I ever forget?”“Well then, ‘secret weapon’
Wolf’s Bane TREASURED PAST FRIENDS
“We’re ready to land, sir,” Antoine said as soon as the field was cleared and the tall, muscular, handsome, dark brown-haired, and clean-cut man, who, in another place and circumstances would have passed as a model, confirmed with a sign to the pilot that everybody was safely waiting inside the house.“Then, let’s, my friend. Although this kind of entrance is far from the surprise I would have liked,” Another tall, handsome, muscular male, but this one lightly bearded and with dark blond hair, who was inside the helicopter said to his pilot-slash-bodyguard. “Don’t worry, handsome. She might notice that you’re here, but I’m sure she has no idea about me,” his wife gave him a knowing smirk that immediately let him know she was up for the mission, and not taking a ‘no’ for an answer.He could easily get excited because of his mate’s show of determination, and the way in which whatever she would focus on she would get. It was a mental turn-on for him and somehow, she knew that well.The
Wolf’s Bane MORE FROM TREASURED PAST FRIENDS
In less than five minutes, the door of the office opened and the two broad-shouldered gentlemen walked in.“Hello beautiful, how was your talk?” V kissed and hugged her, as he would every time even if they were separated for more than just two minutes only. They then walked straight to the minibar to serve four glasses of the wine that from a time before had won over his in-laws and was actually produced by their pack. “It was… enlightening. Now I need to hear the other side of the situation and talk to your friend here.”“Me?” Hero said distractedly. “You, of course, who else? I would like to know your reasons for refusing her to shift.”“Well, I’m just not doing it. With all due respect, Luna, I hoped you guys would help me get her to see some sense…”“You wanted us to tell her that your decision is the right one?”“Yes.”“Not try to help you, but make sure she agrees to what you are saying?”“Exactly, because mine is the logical choice and I’m absolutely right.”“Oh, are you real
