Wolf’s Bane TAKE TIME TO REALIZE
“And when they all fell down, she said, ‘Oh, so that’s what it’s for…’ Ahahahaha!”“Oh my gosh, that’s so funny, big sister! Teeheehee!”“Yeah, you should be a comedian, you know, hahahaha!”“Thank you, thank you, you’ve been a wonderful audience…”“Hey guys, good morning. That sure smells great... Uhhh, where’s Diwa?”The three kids, who were preparing a big breakfast in preparation for their new arrivals, turned around all at the same time and reacted joyfully - in their personal and unique ways - to The Charmer’s greeting.Of course, he couldn’t answer all of them at once since they did kind of speak over each other due to their over-eagerness and enthusiasm…“Hey, Eron! Just in time to eat! Did Orlando make it home safe?” asked the eldest as she arranged a huge serving of scrambled eggs on a serving plate.“Good morning, dude! We couldn’t wait for you to come home and we had to go to bed, sorry…” the middle child said, starting with a cheery greeting and then progressing to an apo
Wolf’s Bane TAKE TIME TO REALIZE AGAIN
Meanwhile, Eros was so shocked at how she was reacting, and at the last moment was very regretful of all he had said to her that it took him a while to get to his feet and start to run after her.Don’t fucking wolf speed! he screamed to himself internally as he started to gain on her. You shouldn’t give yourself away. Not now… Or fucking not ever!As Diwa pulled the screen door open that was shielding the still-open front door, she speeded through both doorways letting gravity and inertia close both of the doors behind her. And yes, natural physics did the work, fortunately for her.Unfortunately for Eron though because he collided with the screen door first and broke it in half while small bits of metal wires entered his mouth and nostrils almost blinding his eyes as well. Inertia and gravity also propelled him forward, after destroying the screen door, his forehead hit the Villa’s solid mahogany door, leaving a hairline crack that was about a foot long. “Fucking heck... OWWW!”We
Wolf’s Bane BAD GUY BLUES
“I cannot believe this! You’re telling me that there are more than half a dozen of you who were after the two of them, and they still managed to escape?“Yes, boss… we’re really very sorry…”“You guys are totally inept and worthless! And none of you even tried to get to Orlando’s house so you can talk to him and warn him about what he’s doing?”The men listening to their livid superior’s furious outburst couldn’t help but look down in embarrassment even though the man wasn’t even there with them. Oscar was holding his mobile in front of him, since it was on speaker mode, while everyone stood around the phone in a tight circle in the middle of the woods, about 10 meters away from the lumberyard property. Unfortunately for them, that’s the closest place they could go so that The Three Stooges could hold their little meeting without Jack or Pat going up their asses as to why they were still hanging around company grounds.Well, even if they had avoided their former superiors at the lumb
Wolf’s Bane MORE BAD GUY BLUES
“I get yah, sonny. So sorry I wasn’t able to help you and your sisters back then while I was still working in the city. But now that I’m retired, I’m glad that I’ll be able to help you guys now. Well, at least with bringing in renters to your place who I can assure you will love the cabin as much as you and your family Did. We promise we’ll take good care of her.”Orlando nodded, then suddenly spoke up as he and his uncle passed one of the closed doors inside the orphan’s home, “Speaking of which, Uncle Jerome, we’re still having a hard time… Packing up my parents’ stuff so we could bring them with us…”“I wouldn’t be blaming you. I remember seeing how close you kids were to your parents…” “Yes, so if it’s ok with you, do you think you can help us out by doing it for us? The boxes are already in one of the bedrooms, and we don’t know which of you and your friends are gonna stay there. But it would really mean a lot to us if it was you who could pack their stuff since I did find out f
Wolf’s Bane HIDDEN TALENTS
“Hey bro, can you wait a bit? I just need to finish fixing this screen door. Kinda busted it last night when I got home.”Jack, who had just passed silently through the Oro Villa’s open gate, was taken aback by The Charmer’s statement. He immediately walked up to Eron who had his back turned, since the busy man was carefully painting something on the floor of the porch.“Whoa, how the heck did you…?” started the lumberjack boss as he walked up the porch steps, and then paused as he saw the former porch door split roughly in half - both wood and screen - lying at the other end of the porch. “Oh my God, what did you do to that poor door, bro? Looks like you did a piledriver on it or used a jackhammer.”“Something like that,” replied Eron in a slight monotone since he was concentrating on what he was currently doing, which was sanding the new door that he had just built from scratch. “Sometimes I don’t even know my own strength.”“Or your own skill. I mean you were able to tell that it w
Wolf’s Bane HIDDEN TALENTS AGAIN
“And what if you guys get into bigger trouble because Max makes a big deal out of this?”“If you have all the papers to prove your skill and competence, I don’t think Max will be a problem. Even if he brings his complaints to the Labor Department. Besides, he’s still the primary suspect in the recent accident that almost put Diwana and me in the hospital. If not for your presence of mind and quick save, I wouldn’t even know what would’ve happened then, bro.”“It’s my pleasure and I really don’t want to cause that much trouble for you or your business, bro,” sighed Eron as he put the brush and tray with the other tools that Jack had placed in the corner.“Bro, if there's anyone who has caused so much trouble for me and my family’s business, it isn’t you. Take my word for it. So, are you done?”“Yeah, I think that’s about it. What do you think?”Jack then took out his mobile and took a shot at the new screen door. Its very recent coat of varnish still needed to dry out, but as it was, i
Wolf’s Bane LADIES IN WAITING
“He left with Jack a while ago so they could fetch Orlando and his sisters already.”Diwana breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Erica’s statement. Of course, Leena could not help but hear, considering her enhanced senses. But she was puzzled by the young widow’s reaction.After all, if the only reason she didn’t want Eron to be there and meet her, the friendly but weird neighbor best friend, was because she had a hunch that Diwa had secret feelings for her new renter. If that was the case, then there really was no reason to worry.She’s the ultimate keeper of secrets, and she has proven this to countless people, including two of the latest Alphas of SilverClaw. And the nature of this confidential information was a lot deeper and more intense than the mere attraction of her friend to a werewolf’s son.However, for Diwana, that wasn’t the real reason for her discomfort.He saw and heard what I did last night when I dispelled whatever it was that was trying to connect to him through t
Wolf’s Bane MORE SHOCKING SURPRISES
There were two men in the hospital room where a nurse had just entered. She had a bad day and a no-nonsense attitude which was quite evident to the patient who was lying on the bed. Unfortunately for the other male, who was sitting beside the bed and reading a magazine, he was quite taken by the nurse’s looks and figure that he wasn’t able to tell that she was actually quite pissed and a bit unapproachable.“It’s time for your x-rays, Sir.”“Oh good, I was wondering when that would be.”“Ok, so I’ll be going with him…” cut in the sitting man with a smile.“Oh no, Sir. We aren’t allowed to let anyone be with the patient during this time. It’s hospital regulations.”“But…”“You can just wait for him here. I promise you, he will be back within a few hours.”“A few hours? It’s really going to take that long, nurse?”“Considering the magnitude of the damage done to him, yes, it will take that long, Sir.”“Don’t worry, Nick. I doubt that in the state that I’m currently in I would be able t

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
