Wolf’s Bane CALLING IN FAVORS
Meanwhile, back in the city…Ring, ring, ring… Click!“Hello, wife. Why are you calling me on my landline so early in the morning? This better be really important, Chin!”“It is, Ed. Have your private army already gone to Mendez?”“Yes, they left with my Left Hand a few hours ago…”“I just looked into my scrying crystal and I saw your precious little Left hand will soon manage to break the loyalty spell that I put on the Ärgers somehow!”“What? He would not dare! Didn’t your spell work on the Ogre as well, wife?”“I don’t know how, but he and the Right Hand seem impervious to my lesser-powered enchantments even from day one. I remember telling you that even from the start, husband dear. Don’t you remember?”The governor swallowed the words that he was about to say and just left them to run through his thoughts as he remained silent; I do remember your warning, Chin, but it mattered to me that anyone cannot influence my closest underlings by magic or sorcery. Even by you, wife. I canno
Wolf’s Bane CAREFUL CONSIDERATIONS
“Hey, Hero. Looks like your Eleuthera idea is turning out great!” Nick said from the passenger seat of his friend’s car. “Am I also glad that you’ll now be freeing your men and my buddies from that Chin bitch’s hold! That has always been a problem for me, which is why I keep Brenner’s concoction regularly to counter Chin’s potions in our food that’s being served at the mansion.”“It was one of the first things that Bren mentioned after he realized it. He ate from the governor’s buffet table and found himself sexually pleasuring the governor without even being aware of how it happened, bro,” the Ogre admitted as he continued to drive around 1 mile per hour less than the highway’s speed limit since he was in a hurry to get to Mendez and he knew that the high-powered vans where the Ärgers that were riding behind him were closely following him. He was driving this fast since he truly wanted to liberate his men from the enchantment of the governor’s wife and Ed himself as soon as possible.
Wolf’s Bane HEARTFELT ADMISSIONS
The door of the nearest 2nd-storey bedroom next to the wide staircase resounded with half a dozen loud knocks before Emily could answer the door.“Just a minute, Helena. I needed to take a bath since I couldn’t take one before I had completed the medical examination at the hospital this morning,” the young lady said in a voice loud enough to be heard by the person behind the door. “I hope I didn’t make you wait too long.”Emily quickly opened the door and gasped in surprise at the sight of the tall, good-looking and well-built man behind it. She froze, her mouth wide open in the middle of wiping her dripping hair with the white towel provided by their landlady. “J-Jack, why are you here?” stuttered the rescued female, in shock and extreme nervousness.“Hello, Emmy. Can I talk to you for a bit?” the lumberyard supervisor asked a little hesitantly. “That is, if you have nothing to do right now…”“No… I mean, yes, I am not busy at the moment, so yeah, we can talk. Please come in,” the
Wolf’s Bane 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
Wolf’s Bane 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
Wolf’s Bane 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
Wolf’s Bane 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
Wolf’s Bane PROLOGUE: FIGHT OR FLIGHT
“Surrender now, Right Hand! We’ll make it short and sweet if you do that!” “Holy crap, Ogre, you really going to do this now? Yap yap yap instead of just shooting at me? Are we in a fucking B action movie or what?” “We mean it, A-Bomb, stop joking around! Better that you just give up the fight and spare yourself the torture once we gun you down!” “Surrender now, Right Hand! We’ll make it short and sweet if you do that!” “Holy crap, Ogre, you really going to do this now? Yap yap yap instead of just shooting at me? Are we in a fucking B action movie or what?” “We mean it, A-Bomb, stop joking around! Better that you just give up the fight and spare yourself the torture once we gun you down!” “Bro! That’s a classic bad-guy move, OK? Once you start monologuing, it’s over! You’re gonna lose for sure!” “Damn it, A! It’s fight or flight! What do you really want to do? But whatever you choose, be prepared for the consequences!” “Whatever I choose, I’m never going back! NEVER, you hear m
