Wolf’s Bane INTERLUDE
Both the Senior citizen and his young guest were silent for quite a long time as they silently stirred their teacups and took small bites of their respective cake slices. It hardly happened that the village’s elderly head entertained guests, but he admits that this one was special. So special, that he was quite surprised to have met her at the Joseph’s mansion when he was going house-to-house for donations for the De Narra boy yesterday. “Grampa,” the pixie-like lady softly said, breaking the uncomfortable silence between them. “It’s amazing that you have cake as delicious as this up here in the mountains. It’s my favorite pastry now.” The old man grinned in agreement. “May I ask what was your former choice, my child.” “Well, back in the city. Myron would always get me my favorite cake at a 24-hour bakery near the main hospital. My fave is their pistachio sansrival,” the girl instantly replied, while reflecting on her host’s mysterious smile. “Speaking of him, how is your fiancé
Wolf’s Bane SEÑOR ARMANAZ
After her initial trip to her special Fae pond, Helena no longer needed to travel in order to personally commune with her powerful Fae guide. Since she has proudly accepted the role of Señor Almanaz’s avatar and messenger of the region, the shape-shifting Royale has regularly visited her dreams and tonight was no exception… Helena, I believe it’s time for you to know why your twin’s wolf is silent to this day. I would like you to let his father know how special his youngest truly is even in the world of the supernatural. They were standing in front of each other in a wide valley surrounded by tall and majestic mountains filled with jungles and forests. There were a few streams flowing by, which eventually fed a far-off but still visible river. Peppering the countryside were flowers, grass and berry-bearing bushes. I am all ears, your majesty… Helena answered as she slowly walked in time to her Fae King. His werewolf is part of the first group of werewolves that have chosen their h
Wolf’s Bane TROUBLING CONFRONTATIONS
Helena needed to talk to a friend and the closest one she could think of was Alicia. It was quite a wonder that the former human would be her first choice instead of her mate or her twin, simply because the topic of the conversation is about those same two individuals. Specifically, how her mate reacted to her news about her twin’s “silent” wolf, and also about the source of the news. It didn’t matter that much that her father-in-law didn’t believe a word she said, besides the latter being forewarned by an old friend and ally in a dream, similar to hers. The present Luna almost foresaw it, considering the former Alpha’s point of view regarding his youngest son… “Have you gone out of your mind? I know that I summoned you here due to a weird dream telling me I need to speak to you, but I had no idea how ludicrous your message would be! Travesty wolves who turn humans through their magical pelts. Impossibly ridiculous! I have never heard of such preposterous things!” “But Alpha Henkja
Wolf’s Bane ADDITIONAL PLANS
“Hey Nick, I have a proposition for you…The hospital is releasing me today but the doctor told the governor, I still have to rest for about a week when I get back to the mansion. I’m going to need your help so I can continue the Eleutheria then.” The two compatriots were secretly celebrating another successful mission against the Kahlagus’ illegal human slave trade. Now they have to re-assess their situation and the Ogre’s soon return to the governor’s mansion. “OK Left Hand, you can count on me. I can easily find something else for the other bodyguards to do when we’re there, especially since the governor is already panicking over the many flesh houses that you’ve freed, Hero.” “And I’m glad that Makaraig was willing to temporarily hide and keep safe our rescued witnesses against Ed. Also, Chief Bilal keeps finding willing prostitutes to be rescued and to also testify. We are indeed on schedule and even going beyond our timetable’s pace…” “Speaking of which, have you spoken to Aar
Wolf’s Bane DOUBTS AND DELIBERATIONS
Myron didn’t call his client tonight despite the positive results of his interview with Max in the Schneider sawmill. Normally, he wouldn’t wait for the governor’s call after dinner. He’d even call his superior himself if there was even a slight sign of good news, but right now he was too distracted to do so… Not just, but also depressed… Dejected…. Distressed… Right now, he was receiving the results of his newest request from his protégé and was feeling all of those aforementioned negative feelings, along with really painful heartache. “Sorry, Sensei but I double-checked all my info before I spoke to you about her. And even that wasn’t easy because the governor had every available man and contact searching for the people responsible for the secret raids of his slave houses. It kind of makes it difficult to look for the people she worked with before…” Well, it doesn’t really matter if that motherfucking bastard at the roadside eatery was right, after all. What really hurts is I g
Wolf’s Bane THE CHEESY TRUTH
“Hey man, long time no see. People back home are wondering where you are now…”“I know, dude. Nice of you to look me up here in the uplands…”He was tempted to bring the young cop up to his room upon greeting each other in the kitchen, since the hesitant visitor entered through the back door. Just so they can maximize their privacy it would have been good to do so, but the day was too nice and warm to pass up and not enjoy. Besides, bringing the guy upstairs may give the Snitch a false sense of security, especially since he has just arrived at the Oro Vista Alpha…Plus, he was forewarned by Jack and company about the newcomer’s interview with Max…And the warning oi the people back at the lumberyard about The Mad One’s possible connection to Chin. Aw hell no! I better keep him a bit clueless about our setup here at the mansion… for now.So following his very dependable gut feeling, Eron led the youthful detective to the porch aka breakfast nook and visitor’s area.I know for sure, no
Wolf’s Bane UNEXPECTED ADMISSIONS (PART ONE)
Hero was finally back at his corrupt superior’s mansion, but was more than eager to continue with Eleutheria more than ever. However, he knew that the governor would first “request” a meeting with him. If anything, so he could whine and complain about the mysterious raids done on his precious little illegal businesses and whorehouses. But even so, The Ogre was ready for such situations… “I don’t understand who would dare do such a thing to me, my precious Left Hand. After all, I’ve already put to death all my most powerful enemies… Well, not unless you count the recently departed Right Hand; which my Snitch assures me is up in the mountains right now and is currently living in the same village where I was a mayor, before the media got a hold of my ruse there and exposed me…” Blah, blah, blah…I hope Nick does my request soon, before I die of boredom… “Yes, I do agree he’s too far off to do all of that and I took care of Makaraig myself. I even got sent to the hospital for about a we
Wolf’s Bane UNEXPECTED ADMISSIONS (PART TWO)
“Thank you so much, Sir,” replied the invalid tearfully, as he took the offered envelope while he took a seat on one of the rattan porch chairs. “Yes, this will be greatly valued by me and my siblings.”“But that’s not all Lando, my boy. We went shopping this morning at the hospital supply center at the city’s biggest mall and… Well, let us just show you what we bought for you along with our own hospital's list of needed medical items for the month.”The younger spectators all gasped upon seeing what the other two elderly gentlemen were unloading from their large, rugged vehicle…“Oh, Senyor… you shouldn’t have…” sobbed Jackus' nephew as he felt his emotions overwhelming him.It was a large and comfortable-looking wheelchair, complete with a cushioned seat and headboard. It even came with a motor and a basic directional shift stick on its right arm pad.Yup, Prof. Charles X. Xavier would be proud! Eron thought with amusement. It’s ironic though that it’s Diwa who has psychic powers an
