Wolf’s Bane BITTERSWEET REMEMBERINGS
The lumber camp was not too far away. A walking distance from his parents' house, if he was patient enough to walk through the forest for at least half an hour… But it so happened that it wasn’t a bad thing. Not after falling asleep thinking of werewolves and his beloved sister.Jack woke up early and left the house before his parents noticed.The air at that hour and up high in the mountain was crisp and fresh, not exactly like the rest of the day would be during the hotter season, and that’s why he enjoyed the early hours so much those days.With a bottle of water and a large crisp green apple taken from his mother’s kitchen, he started walking slowly to work, taking in life and what had brought him.“Sorah, how would things have been if you had not left?” he mumbled, letting the images of himself during the time of his youth invade his head.He wasn’t unattractive, not even as a teenager. Actually, since he went more often than not to help in his father’s company, he was tall and
Wolf’s Bane SOMETHING DIFFERENT
“We do love omelettes! Even Katya likes them! What do you add to them?” Erica gushed while smiling widely, and slightly maliciously. “Let me help you find your ingredients, just tell me what you wanna put in.”“Oh wow! Well, I appreciate it. The way I learned them was with some Italian sauce and cold-cut meats, but I think I would like to try colored bell peppers, mushrooms, and melting cheese. I will also use some strips of bacon if you can spare some from Diwana’s cooking.” Eron looked towards his landlady, who was still moving around acting busier than she should.She took the pastries that she was baking out of the oven and put the tray at the far end of her preparation table while they cooled down. The busty widow then tossed her almost ready chicken and beef, while throwing in her freshly cut peppers, onion and some more mushrooms to that mix, doing it all with her face still unrelentingly blushing.The Charmer focused his eyes on her, right when she tried to take the hot pot w
Wolf’s Bane SOMETHING DIFFERENT AGAIN
Diwana, what the hell are you thinking now? Are you hearing him tell you such things? Your imagination is going wilder, girl. And what was that? ‘First time’ as if it was planned? As if there would be more than one? Come on dear, get a hold of yourself… he’s just being nice, right? He’s just helpful… and so strong…. And… caring…She looked at him again, the way his muscles tensed and flexed as he washed, sorted and chopped his vegetables for his omelettes…“Are you using the stove some more? I really don’t want to be in your way, Diwa…”“N-no, I’m done with the cooking part,” she laughed nervously.OF COURSE, HE SAW YOU! Dammit Diwana, what are you doing? He saw you checking him out… Oh God, can this be more embarrassing? Please, let’s try to act normal… Don’t push him away… please… Don’t make him uncomfortable and make him want to go… at least, let’s have him this close… gosh… What is this feeling of yearning? Of… ARGH! I need more self-control… focus Di. FOCUS! she thought, trying n
Wolf’s Bane WHAT THE FIRE CONSUMED (ACT ONE)
“G-good morning boss…” Orlando said from the place where he rested, sitting on the ground after crashing into Jack and falling back.“Morning to you too, Orlando. You’re really early… Are you going to the camp?”“Yes, sir, I am…” he took the hand that Jack offered him to help him get up.“You’re kind of distracted today… is everything okay?”“Oh… Yes, sir. Just too excited to start my new job. I really hope I do well… I really appreciate the opportunity!” he said bowing, and when he stood straight again, he showed Jack a big, bright smile. The young fledgling looks nervous but full of hope.“That time when I found you near my house, you said that you had been looking for a job for a while… right?”Jack started walking and Orlando followed. Now that he knew they were going to the same place, it was, in a way, good for him, and would help him focus his mind. After all, going all the way alone and thinking why he hated werewolves, or if it was the right thing or not, was something he wa
Wolf’s Bane DEAD MEN DO TELL TALES
“Good morning, Signor Adriano… I’m sorry, I always forget your surname. I’m not good with my Italian... Surnames from there are fairly uncommon up here too,” the man behind the counter of the small store said to one of his most frequent customers for the last few years, who happened to just walk in like he did every morning. “You’re right on time as well, we just got the delivery that is always of interest to you.”Even if he saw him every single morning, the man from the store, who everybody called and knew by ‘Tinio’ who he remembered perfectly even the first time that he saw the gentleman who was standing in front of him, he could never remember many details from him…“It’s okay, Signor Tinio. I have not spoken a word of Italian for the longest time. I actually appreciate that you try to use it with me,” he said, taking his groceries out of his basket and over the counter, including a medium-sized cake that looked incredibly appetizing. This admission made the older Tinio lightly c
Wolf’s Bane THE MISSION
Signor Adriano turned his head to look at the branches. The day seemed to eventually become quite a hot one, as he could see the first yellow bright rays filtering between the sea of leaves that were carpeting the ground. A few animals could be seen from the spot where he stood as he leaned against the kitchen counter. Still hearing it all as if it were all far away. And how the coffee machine loudly boiled and simmered with the last few drops of water into the brown powder that was turning slowly into his coffee.The smell of fresh coffee floating around the room... Spades meowed some more and looked at him, before turning to slowly walk back to his hiding place on one of the seat cushions under his dining table. And, with all that, the memory, clear as day, still played inside his head, even if his eyes were open and looking attentively - sort of - at all his surroundings.+++Antonio saw his surrogate son walk towards the front doorway until his figure was blocked from his view b
Wolf’s Bane A SHINING STAR
“Hello? My Star… Oh, it’s so good to hear your voice again. I’ve missed you so very much,” was the first thing that she heard that morning. Her mobile phone vibrating under her pillow had awakened a few minutes before. And she was glad that she wasn’t so deep in her dreams by then, or she might have missed this very important call.“How are you, love? It has been a while, hasn’t it? The kids miss you as well, but we’re all doing fine. The town has been really quiet lately, except for a few renewed rumors that I still haven’t been able to clarify, but I feel I’ll have an answer soon. Alpha V is not really pushy, so I think I can have a few more days before I really have to give my official report to him.” She got up, wrapped her scarcely dressed, slim body in her silky, flowery robe and walked towards the window, actually thanking her beloved one for starting her day early.“I’m very much okay, my Queen, I might be home in a couple of weeks, but that might not be great news… Right now
Wolf’s Bane WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG
“I didn’t know that you sold your food to so many other places. I mean, it’s not surprising, since you’re a great cook, but… How do you find the time to do so much?” Eron asked, carrying a few cardboard boxes with cakes, tarts and assorted pastries that smelled so good that they were making him hungry again.“Well, yesterday night, after I felt watched and all that, I prepared most of them. The baking takes the longest time, the rest is quick and easy,” she said with a shy smile, not used to him praising her work. “Thank you for helping me with the deliveries.”“Oh, it’s my pleasure. Besides, I promised, remember? I told you that you wouldn’t need to carry so many heavy things on your own anymore. That’s also why we go to the lumber camp together… I’m glad you let me help you, especially since I don’t do much at the house…”“Oh, you do plenty… you might just not notice it.” The words escaped her mouth and made her heavily blush once again that morning.As he saw her face all red again

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

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

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.

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

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

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
