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
Wolf’s Bane NEW BEGINNINGS
Where would you say is the best place to hide when you’re starting a new life? Some people say it’s in plain sight, right in front of the people who might look for you. Some others dream of a peaceful, quiet hideaway, that’s located a good distance from everything familiar. Like a remote lumberjack camp up in the mountains, so far, far away. “I can hardly believe that you were just a security guard back in your city, or how they let go of a guy that looks so menacing as you. Are you sure you were just that?” a smiling man with brown hair and blue eyes said. He was walking and talking with another man, with a similar description as his, having the same height of six feet, broader shoulders though, and a slightly more muscular body. Also, the second one happened to have brown-reddish hair, hazel eyes closer to green than brown, and a more obvious tan. It had been less than an hour since the job interview, and the employer decided to make sure his newly hired employee would be ok with
Wolf’s Bane THE PAST MEETS THE PRESENT
More than a decade ago… “Sorah, what are you doing out of the house at this time? You know we shouldn’t be outside at this hour!” A teenager Jack hissed/yelled to his sister, who was just a year older than him. “What? Nothing’s gonna happen! Besides, I’m technically not even outside the house, I’m just sitting on the roof, Jack, what could go wrong?” “I don’t know, but you know they tell us those stories for a reason, Sorah…” “The legends? Just fairy tales to keep us kids inside the house at night. Do you really believe that it is possible that something like a werewolf exists? I’m no longer a child and I can’t really believe those tales, brother, sorry.” “Just because you’re eighteen now, doesn’t mean that you just can do whatever, sis… Please, come back in or I’ll tell Mom and Dad.” “Ugh, fine, fine… you’re a traitor, Jack, you know that? And you talk like an old grandma.” “No, I’m your brother and I’m supposed to watch over you.” The young lady tried to go back inside the ho
Wolf’s Bane SECRET MEETINGS
The barn showed signs of being abandoned, while the farmhouse that was about fifty feet away looked uninhabited as well. Technically both were, since the family who owned this farm had obviously gone abroad, died out, or was killed off by an angry mob. Considering how off-grid the place was, even the last option was possible. So, when two expensive cars arrived to park near the barn, thirty minutes apart from each other, and then two men in suits and long coats went out of the said vehicles to meet under the shade of a nearby tree, it’s obvious that this was a meeting that’s out of the ordinary. “It took a while to scrape off enough tissue and blood just to get a proper sample, Hero. Other than the initial evidence that I ran off with before, I really can’t promise you more of that any time soon, I’m sorry,” Myron the Insider said as he passed over two vials to the other man. Hiromoto raised the two glass tubes to look at them carefully before replying, “We appreciate what you’ve a
Wolf’s Bane THE GOVERNOR
Hours later back in the city, inside a classy but modern conference room, a number of distinguished men were seated at a luxurious long glass table with matching chairs… “So, gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that I have found more samples taken from the site. However, our contact can no longer give us any additional ones in the future since there are no more.” “Well, unfortunately, the ones that we received before are already quite tainted by the chemicals and heat of the explosions, Left Hand. It was quite impossible to be sure if the source of the samples is indeed Aaron Keiser.” “I don’t think you understand what I’m trying to complete here, Doctor. It’s very simple: I want absolute proof that the body - or body parts - of the burnt corpse found in the destroyed vehicle of Aaron Keiser is indeed him.” “Don’t you mean was, Governor?” “I don’t like repeating myself, Doctor Hauptman, but I believe that Aaron Keiser IS still out there, alive and kicking. I also believe he set up
