Wolf’s Bane UNNATURAL
From afar, it looked like a large caterpillar or a green cocoon that was living and crawling; except it was not. The three who discovered it on their way home were carefully and slowly approaching it when the unknown thing stated to burst from its leafy and branch-y prison.“Over there, Mrs. Joseph. Looks like those leaves and vines are moving… Are there such kinds of vegetation here in your mountains?” Myron curiously announced as he looked at the subject of his observation with a little bit of fear and wonder.“I don’t think that is normal, Lieutenant. But you are indeed seeing what you think you are describing, and inside it seems like a human being, if I’m not mistaken…”“Honey kins, I think it IS a guy… And he’s currently breaking free from the vines that holds him.”“Hey you there, help me out a bit, will you?” said the struggling man as he tore through his leafy and vine-y shell. “I’ve been in here all night.”It took the three onlookers and single ‘victim’ about five minutes t
Wolf’s Bane BIG FAMILY DECISIONS
“Wifey, this is a big decision we just made.”“Yes, hubby wubby, it really is. Imagine this afternoon, Mrs. Wolf will come by to get your deposit check and give us the keys to that Luna house; then tomorrow the realty agency will have you sign papers and we will be real house owners. Isn’t this amazing?”“I know my honey bunny, so is it ok if I ask something from you… or more like something of you.”“But of course my cute lovey dovey… go ahead and ask me anything.”Myron pauses to mentally set his sentences straight about something that was continually bothering him. He really needs to clarify his suspicions of Raquel but in the best way he can without causing any friction between them.“Baby, will you be honest with me? Have you ever kept any secrets from me? I promise that I won’t get mad, just tell me the truth and I’ll accept anything, and I mean ANYTHING you tell me.”Raquel pauses a bit, as she tried to figure out what her husband-to-be is REALLY telling her. It’s a good thing,
Wolf’s Bane TWO SPECIAL JOURNALS
Erica may not have been introduced to books at an early age but was acquainted with diaries and journals during her teenage years by her very own mom. She now keeps leather hardbound ones in memory of her dearly departed mother who kept similar-looking volumes of her own.Today, she took her time recording what happened today in her diary Luna, due to several surprising events that were even more remarkable than yesterday’s happeningsLet us peek at her entry for now, shall we reader?Dear Luna,A lot has happened again currently but they are not all cheerful things. But they still ended quite happily. Remember, that cute guy I told you about yesterday? Yeah, Orlando…Something happened at his workplace today and it’s the only upsetting part of the day, at the moment. They got him home in a stretcher and a cement-casted leg; but he’s ok, he assured us. I’m not so sure about that though. He said he got into an accident but I’m not so sure about that. It was because he was climbing a w
Wolf’s Bane INTERLUDE
Both the Senior citizen and his young guest were silent for quite a long time as they silently stirred their teacups and took small bites of their respective cake slices. It hardly happened that the village’s elderly head entertained guests, but he admits that this one was special. So special, that he was quite surprised to have met her at the Joseph’s mansion when he was going house-to-house for donations for the De Narra boy yesterday. “Grampa,” the pixie-like lady softly said, breaking the uncomfortable silence between them. “It’s amazing that you have cake as delicious as this up here in the mountains. It’s my favorite pastry now.” The old man grinned in agreement. “May I ask what was your former choice, my child.” “Well, back in the city. Myron would always get me my favorite cake at a 24-hour bakery near the main hospital. My fave is their pistachio sansrival,” the girl instantly replied, while reflecting on her host’s mysterious smile. “Speaking of him, how is your fiancé
Wolf’s Bane SEÑOR ARMANAZ
After her initial trip to her special Fae pond, Helena no longer needed to travel in order to personally commune with her powerful Fae guide. Since she has proudly accepted the role of Señor Almanaz’s avatar and messenger of the region, the shape-shifting Royale has regularly visited her dreams and tonight was no exception… Helena, I believe it’s time for you to know why your twin’s wolf is silent to this day. I would like you to let his father know how special his youngest truly is even in the world of the supernatural. They were standing in front of each other in a wide valley surrounded by tall and majestic mountains filled with jungles and forests. There were a few streams flowing by, which eventually fed a far-off but still visible river. Peppering the countryside were flowers, grass and berry-bearing bushes. I am all ears, your majesty… Helena answered as she slowly walked in time to her Fae King. His werewolf is part of the first group of werewolves that have chosen their h
Wolf’s Bane TROUBLING CONFRONTATIONS
Helena needed to talk to a friend and the closest one she could think of was Alicia. It was quite a wonder that the former human would be her first choice instead of her mate or her twin, simply because the topic of the conversation is about those same two individuals. Specifically, how her mate reacted to her news about her twin’s “silent” wolf, and also about the source of the news. It didn’t matter that much that her father-in-law didn’t believe a word she said, besides the latter being forewarned by an old friend and ally in a dream, similar to hers. The present Luna almost foresaw it, considering the former Alpha’s point of view regarding his youngest son… “Have you gone out of your mind? I know that I summoned you here due to a weird dream telling me I need to speak to you, but I had no idea how ludicrous your message would be! Travesty wolves who turn humans through their magical pelts. Impossibly ridiculous! I have never heard of such preposterous things!” “But Alpha Henkja
Wolf’s Bane ADDITIONAL PLANS
“Hey Nick, I have a proposition for you…The hospital is releasing me today but the doctor told the governor, I still have to rest for about a week when I get back to the mansion. I’m going to need your help so I can continue the Eleutheria then.” The two compatriots were secretly celebrating another successful mission against the Kahlagus’ illegal human slave trade. Now they have to re-assess their situation and the Ogre’s soon return to the governor’s mansion. “OK Left Hand, you can count on me. I can easily find something else for the other bodyguards to do when we’re there, especially since the governor is already panicking over the many flesh houses that you’ve freed, Hero.” “And I’m glad that Makaraig was willing to temporarily hide and keep safe our rescued witnesses against Ed. Also, Chief Bilal keeps finding willing prostitutes to be rescued and to also testify. We are indeed on schedule and even going beyond our timetable’s pace…” “Speaking of which, have you spoken to Aar
Wolf’s Bane DOUBTS AND DELIBERATIONS
Myron didn’t call his client tonight despite the positive results of his interview with Max in the Schneider sawmill. Normally, he wouldn’t wait for the governor’s call after dinner. He’d even call his superior himself if there was even a slight sign of good news, but right now he was too distracted to do so… Not just, but also depressed… Dejected…. Distressed… Right now, he was receiving the results of his newest request from his protégé and was feeling all of those aforementioned negative feelings, along with really painful heartache. “Sorry, Sensei but I double-checked all my info before I spoke to you about her. And even that wasn’t easy because the governor had every available man and contact searching for the people responsible for the secret raids of his slave houses. It kind of makes it difficult to look for the people she worked with before…” Well, it doesn’t really matter if that motherfucking bastard at the roadside eatery was right, after all. What really hurts is I g

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
