Wolf’s Bane TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCE
“I think you should be bringing Diwa home, bro. It’s obvious that she’s still not ok, and she would need some assistance to get back.”“Yeah, looks like she ran all the way here a little near the spot where I used to camp at. I didn’t even realize that she could manage that kind of distance while running as if there was a bunch of evil phantasms after her and her life depended on finally getting here.”“Well, she’s the kind of woman who would do anything for the people she cared for and she obviously already cares a lot about you.”The two men, Jack the Lumberyard owner and Eron the former Assassin, were now alone in the former’s spacious executive office, talking over what the young landlady had just told them over a cup of tea. They were now mutually hoping that their beautiful tanned food vendor had now calmed down enough so they could continue talking to her and ask for more details about what Di said that she just heard. A while ago, when the young curvaceous widow was still visi
Wolf’s Bane TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCE AGAIN
“Bro, I can just take your silence as my answer, move on with it and take it from there. But I respect you too much to do that to you. You saved my life from that freak accident no thanks to Max’s tampering. You even defended me a while ago against those three idiots even when you didn’t have to. Heck, you even managed to be a better worker for me than some of the other employees I have that had been working for us for years. And jokes aside, you’ve been a friend to me and have been a wonderful friend to Diwana and the kids, who I adore like my own siblings. Now please, this is the longest speech I’ve ever given to anyone just to convince them to confess their secrets. And even though I know you can just tell me to mind my own business because even though I see you as a pal you might see me as just your boss in this case. So yeah, it’s your choice but I would really like to hear the truth from you.”Eron’s mouth twisted into a half pout and half smirk, while he looked at Jack straight
Wolf’s Bane BETWEEN MICE AND MEN BOOK 1
Jack wasn’t aiming to dethrone the two lady gossips of the village just by getting the juicy admission that he knew Eron was about to make. Oh no, far from it…He just happened to have seen these same scenes and situations before involving Max and his open secret about Diwana Wolf. Yes, unfortunately for all of them, the lumberyard’s number one team leader, who had a penchant for being obsessive, possessive, and even competitive, had done this several times before. And on all occasions, the guys that he bullied would back off, if not at once, then eventually they would, albeit a little reluctantly in most cases. But that was understandable once you consider who their prize was…She was an intelligent and charming woman, who easily adjusted to a foreign land, husband, and lifestyle with grace and her good nature. Most of all, she was a wonderful cook, great with kids, and a very patient and accepting person. Sure, she had a temper and she was quite well known for that due to the fact
Wolf’s Bane BETWEEN MICE AND MEN BOOK 2
During Mason’s long statement, where his eyes would suddenly squint repeatedly and his hands would slightly clench over his chair’s arms, Jack could not help but notice that the man had difficulty keeping his voice steady. He knew then that if he did show any indication that he knew what was going on, he might be taking the brunt of Mr. Wolf’s fury. And despite knowing that he was probably a stronger and better fighter, his reputation would be shot to hell if he Did hurt the other man who was just out to defend his own God-given matrimonial rights regarding his wife.“Sir, believe me, if there was any indication of me knowing that this was actually happening then I can assure you that I’d be the first one to do something about it. This is highly unacceptable…”The older man put up his hand, indicating that the young Schneider should stop and listen a little more. “Jack, I don’t want to make trouble or have you remove him from your company. I’ve asked around and I know that he’s really
Wolf’s Bane UNCOMICAL COMEDY OF ERRORS
Diwana’s face was frozen into this shocked and puzzled expression and it took her a while to actually find her voice to answer the older woman’s question.“What do you mean, Pat? I don’t understand…”“I mean, you and him… are you like… a couple?”“WHAT?! Oh nonononononono… Oh my gosh, we can’t possibly… We’re just landlady and house boarder… Besides, he and I just met and… he knows very little about me… And I know almost nothing about him… Not that THAT matters because I feel he’s very nice… I mean, he’s a nice man… I mean, he’s ok... as a renter… Even as a friend but nooo… He can’t possibly be interested in me… Patricia, just look at him… He probably has so many… women… in the city… or have someone special… already… But not me… definitely… not… me…”More than hearing what Diwana was babbling about - which eventually turned into a whisper near the end - Pat was more interested in watching the young widow’s face and listening to her tone, pitch, and volume as she gave her answer. And
Wolf’s Bane MORE UNCOMICAL COMEDY OF ERRORS
“Yes, and I’m sure whoever your future wife would be will have to learn how to court a man just so she can end up with you,” cut in Pat, as she brought the glass of water to Diwana, who was now sitting up against the bed’s metal headboard and eating the small hard biscuits, one by one. “Otherwise, you might end up being single for the rest of your life.”“I actually find it hard to believe that a good-looking, courteous, and intelligent young man like you would end up being unmarried,” said Diwana with a giggle. “Although, no, just to clarify, I’m not interested in you, no offense intended.”“Oh, such a shame, Miss Diwa. I happen to believe, along with many other people in this company, that whoever will marry you eventually would be a very lucky man.”“What?! You actually talk about me here at the lumberyard?”“Of course, and there is always that little guessing game of ours at who the lucky man might be. And we don’t seem to have any real contenders until lately…”“H-huh? You must b
Wolf’s Bane FOLLOWING THE CHARMER’S PATH
“I knew thet guy had somethin’ to hide. Fer shure, the minute I saw him with that handsome charmin’ smile o’ his, I swear he’s probably one of them fraudsters, swindlers, or con artist types that probably preyed on rich old ladies after givin’ them a good time on their backsides. He’s jus’ too nice and clean to be a legit biker, that’s fer damn shure…”Myron could hear the diner owner/cashier yapping, as he continued to look through the videos on the establishment’s computer which was hidden in the smallest back room of the kitchen area, but he wasn’t really listening. Sure, he did pay complete attention when the guy was talking about what happened when The Left Hand decided to stop over and have a meal in their place. But after finding out that their CCTV system recorded the incident, he had already focused on that instead.Good thing The Detective had gotten the “I look like I’m paying attention even if I’m really not and you won’t even realize it since I’m so good at pretending” fa
Wolf’s Bane FOLLOWING THE CHARMER’S PATH AGAIN
“I’m ok with just soup and a salad, Miss. But thank you very much for letting me know about the specials offered here. That was really nice of you,” the good-looking former assassin said with a very sweet and charming smile. Which, unknown to him, was turning the pretty waitresses’ knees to jelly. “Oh… Are you sure? You look pretty tired and hungry right now so I just think you might need something more than just soup and salad.” “Really now, and what would you like to offer me that you haven’t already told me?” “Well, I can go to the back of the Diner and see what I can give you… That is, if you can wait…” “Hmmm… that’s very tempting. But I hope what you have would be a very… hot meal…” “They say I make a pretty good chicken… or beefcake…” “You don’t say… I think I’m starting to get really hungry now…” The blond girl with the pale pinkish skin and freckles was indeed very nice, and he wasn’t just thinking about her personality. Back then at the packhouse, he was never really th

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 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
