Wolf’s Bane SIDE STORIES, THE SEQUEL
“Oooohhh…” Helena gushed excitedly. “What I wouldn’t give for me to take a photo of his face when she tells him all about his Travesty wolf and he hears from his new wife why he thinks and believes he can’t hear a different voice whenever his wolf Nox would try to speak with him.”“True!” the more magically knowledgeable of the enchantresses bemusedly agreed with a short and soft chuckle. “And both Nox and his still-unaware human will play a significant role in protecting Mendez, the city, and our unsuspecting Faye princess Diwana from the evil governor, his vile witch of a wife, and his cruel and corrupt underlings.”“And when they do attack, we will be sure to be ready for them,” the Luna stated bravely and with firm certainty ringing in her tone. “Of that, I am positive and confident about. Mrs. Merhi.”“Uhm, excuse me Madames?” a muffled female teen-age voice cried out from behind the bedroom door along with a timid but loud enough set of knocks.Tessie hurriedly stood up from whe
Wolf’s Bane PREPARATIONS
Eron carefully raised his head from the bed where his mate and new wife were now exhaustingly but peacefully slumbering. He could clearly hear a faint buzzing from somewhere in the dark room, since they did turn off the lights after their long and amazing hours of lovemaking. It’s just that he needed to turn it off, whatever it was before it woke up the sleeping naked and tanned woman under one of his muscled and wide upper arms since he did wake up because of the bothersome sound himself.Oh, I forgot she is not a werewolf like me but a magical shifter! So, most likely, she doesn’t have heightened wolf hearing like mine. But I don’t know that for sure since we haven’t talked about her supernatural Faye powers yet, so I better find that irritating humming sound and find a way to stop it.With great care, the man who had just gotten married slowly released Diwana's head from his left arm, then sat on the edge of the bed, silently and intently listening to identify the origin of the unk
Wolf’s Bane HEARTFELT CONFESSIONS
“Oh, so you are both werewolves too, just like the Right Hand, correct?” the award-winning detective asked aloud, hoping for a confirmation from the pair of husband and wife before him. “Are you three the only shifters here in Mendez?”“Well, yesterday our Luna and her best friend arrived via a chopper at the Oro Vista Alpha mansion. Our Alpha and his best friend - the man you know as the Left Hand - told me so a few hours ago,” replied the boyish-looking constable. “So, for now, you have at least five Lycans in the village as of this moment…”“For now?” Raquel interrupted, a little anxiously. “Does that mean you’re expecting more to arrive, Serg?”“I’m afraid it can’t be avoided because of Eleuthera, Miss Marinetti,” the younger officer admitted, his voice firm and confident.“Eleuthera? What is that, dude?”So, within the next hour and a half, the Joseph mates shared their role in the efforts of their packs to minimize the negative effects of the former mayor’s schemes in Mendez. Al
Wolf’s Bane RETURNING TO THE PAST
Jack was presently happily playing tour guide to his older sister and her two noisy and gleeful kids. In his arms was his three-year-old niece with the bright yellow head of hair who still wanted to be the family’s baby hence, her cute insistence to be carried by her heavily muscled Uncle Jack. Meanwhile, her older dark-haired, big brother Victor, who wanted to be treated like one of the grown-ups tried to match his mother’s stride since he was playing the role of his mom’s strong but young bodyguard. And this was because his equally ebony-haired father told him over via a phone call last night to ‘take care of his mama’ while he hadn’t joined them yet.The small group of relatives was now taking an impromptu tour of the village and planned to later take the roundabout way to the Schneider lumberyard so Jack could share the family business and how far it has grown under his management. But that was for later…“Jack, isn’t that Emily coming from the village hospital?”“It is, Sorah!” c
Wolf’s Bane FINDING YOUR FOUNDATIONS
“I’m sorry, Emily. But it seems your family has left Mendez and transferred somewhere else,” the potbellied Police Chief sadly said as he placed one of his fat and wide palms on the petite lass’ slim back. “After all, it has been more than three years since you have disappeared.”“I know Chief Bilal,” dejectedly stated the poor female witness as she wiped her falling tears from her dark brown eyes. “I suddenly remember now that my oldest sister worked in Israel and she was pushing to transfer my whole family there before I was kidnapped.”“So since your home is now locked up tight, it would be safe to say that your elder sibling’s plan worked, and they have migrated to Israel now,” concluded the middle-aged overweight male with a wry smile at Emily, who he noticed with deep concern, was sniffing back tears. “Are you alright, girl?”“Well, since I no longer have to be afraid that they might reject me after I tell them everything that happened all these years after I disappeared,” the p
Wolf’s Bane FINALLY MEETING HIS WOLF
“I just finished doing the inventory for all food items in our two freezers Mama,” proudly announced the oldest among the Wolf children as she continued to go through a compact checklist on her blue springless notepad while writing down the available pastries, dishes and desserts in their kitchen. “We currently have 10 different kinds of fruit pies, seven savory ones, around fifty various fruit tarts, the same number of rice cakes, more than forty-five servings of creamed mushroom soup, a large party container of flat pasta noodles, along with double that volume of macaroni twists. One gallon each of creamy carbonara, cheesy pesto and Filipino sweet marinara sauce with hot dog slices, ground beef and grated cheese. Also, we still have a circular two-layer chocolate fudge cake with nuts and mini marshmallows. Last but not least, three dozen plastic-wrapped lava cakes, forty fudge brownies with various kinds of nuts, seventy butter scones stuffed with raspberry jam, a hundred each of ch
Wolf’s Bane CRAZIEST THINGS
“Is it okay if I use the bathtub while you shower, Eron?” the naked curvy Diwa inquired as she slowly stepped into her filled bubbly bath which she had already prepared to meet her preference. “That way we can take our baths in unison so we can be on time to receive our guests later.”The younger hazel-eyed muscled male smirked as he replied, “Why should we take separate baths, cherry pie when I’m sure we can both fit in the bathtub?” he suggested as his passion heavily reflected from his eyes and tone while he slowly approached his now-soaking and sponging wife.“But how on earth can we fit in here, husband?” asked Diwa in a half-laughing and partially panicked voice as she tried to move her long tanned and smooth legs to accommodate the burly hunk of a man as he stepped into the warm and fragrant waters of the tub. “I don’t think that’s possible, love.”Eron chuckled low, his broad, hairy chest rumbling along to his deep and delicious masculine sound. “Believe me, Diwana there are so
Wolf’s Bane SPECIAL CONFERENCES
“Okay Macky, please let them know your mama and me will just get dressed then we’ll be meeting them downstairs!” the former Right Hand yelled from inside the locked bathroom. “Just tell them to wait, alright?”“Yep, will do Papa Eron!” the smiling male youth replied, then immediately left to obediently follow his new stepfather’s instructions. “Oh, before I forget Papa, I brought the clothes that you were carrying home with you inside your bedroom.”“Thanks, Macky!” As he answered his new stepson, the muscular tinkerer stood up from the white clawed-foot bathtub and then offered his large, long-fingered hand to his mate. While the fully naked Lycan husband gently pulled his wife to her feet, Diwa suddenly spoke up.“Don’t you lock your door, love? I remember handing you the key for it when you paid your advance before…”“I never do, cupcake, and now that you will let me transfer to your room since we are now married, we can let my Twinny transfer to my bedroom and let Macky go back to

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 didn’t even have a girlfriend then you suddenly were asked to be someone’s best-man just yesterday. Suddenly, you’re already the groom today. 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 marriage and his future wife that he completely forgot to tell his family about his sudden wedding even through text message. “Aren’t your kids with you, Sorah?”“They’re just outside playing with the other kids of the house,” Sorah informed his younger brother with a honeyed giggle. “Shame on you little bro for not telling us about your pla
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
