“Dad, I consider walking as my only exercise these days because of how busy I am. That jeep won’t be helping me at all.”

“It would help you get home a lot more, so you can be with your parents more,” snapped the former schoolteacher.

“I’m sure you mean well, Ma’am, but I do have my reasons,” Jack replied as he took another swig of his drink, then he whispered, “And I’m sure you have yours…”

“Did you say something, son?” Ms. Nelia said, trying to catch what she thought she heard.

“Nothing, Ma’am...”

Jack knew he should stop saying his thoughts aloud. At work, people didn’t mind him doing that since he's the boss, but, even though he knew that this gossip’s hearing was now slowly deteriorating, he knew that was not a free pass to voice all his thoughts.

Nope, definitely not for these talkative women’s ears.

“I still don’t understand why you had to eat at Diwana’s house instead of here with your parents, son. Of course, we were here with them but I’m sure there you could have easily join

    “He did, huh? Well then, if he saved your life, I’m indebted to him. As a matter of fact, I think we should even meet him and thank him personally. What do you think, Carmel?”“Why that’s a great idea, Paul. And you said he’s now living at Diwana’s place, right? I’m sure he can manage to walk over after work and meet us. That is, if that’s ok with you, Jack.”Jack almost choked on the last bit of his beer, but he did manage to take that last swallow without spitting it out.“You want to meet him?” he asked with a rasping voice.“Yes, your mom and I. It would be good to meet the savior of my son and get to know more about him.”“We can make him feel even more welcome since he is a newcomer…”Jack’s thoughts: Me and my big mouth… and my parents happen to be Maximilian's fans. Oh boy…“Uhhh, he’s just fairly new out here, dad. It wouldn’t be good to force him to meet people just because his boss said so.”“Well, tell him that you mother and I are still the owners of the lumberyard, even

    “Hallooo? … Big brother, there’s nobody here…”“Here I am… Good morning, Katya… Hello Macky…”The teenager and the young lass swiftly looked towards him and their eyes grew wide…“WHOA! You’re so biiiiig!”“Uhhh, thank you Katya, just let me finish dressing up, alright…”“Wow Eron… I didn’t realize… your muscles are… big… I mean, really biiiig!”The tall muscled man had his wide back turned towards the kids since he was hiding his blushing face as he was putting on a black sleeveless runner’s shirt. Thankfully, he already had his jeans on and he just let his heart rate calm down and his blushing to abate before turning around to face the children. “Thanks guys, but I don’t think I’m that muscular. You should see my male bestie! Now he’s got really massive biceps and a huge bulging chest and…”“Oh, but I think you’ve got great looking muscles, Eron. Yours are even bigger than Jack’s!”“Ahaha, just don’t let Jack hear that, Katya, or he might get jealous of Eron.”“Hehe, I got to agree

    Meanwhile, deep in the forest…“What the hell, Jack, you didn’t have to scare me like that!”“Well, I don’t even see why you should be scared…”“Creeping up on me when we’re in the middle of a wolf alert? I know we fought yesterday over me being late and all but you didn’t have to do that to me, sheesh!”“Correction, you fought with me, Max. Besides, what the heck are you doing out here in the woods this early? You live in the lumberyard’s campsite and I don’t even know why you’re here. Of course, you can easily tell me it’s none of my business but in the light of all these weird things happening, I think you better come clean with me.”Max’s eyes narrowed at the nonchalant tone Jack used on him, knowing that the man was actually threatening him underneath all that nice, civil speech of his. The message was, in simple language, “Don’t fuck with me, I know you’re hiding something so ‘fess up!”The team leader sighed and racked his brains in a rush to try and find an explanation that co

  • Wolf’s Bane    SECRET WEAPON

    The first, very light vibration of his cellphone that rested at the nightstand had awakened Hiromoto, who stealthily moved out of the bed and sneaked out of the house, taking with him one of the light bed sheets that slipped to the floor during his night ‘activities’ so he could wrap his naked body. He quickly twisted it around his waist, allowing a full view of his muscular upper torso, then he sat up on the porch swing where he thought he wouldn’t be heard. The morning breeze played with his hair, arranging and rearranging it, bringing the smell of soil wet with the night dew to him and deeply relaxing him. For a moment, while he felt the few first rays of sun in his skin, he smiled. A light hope sparkled in him during those mornings where he could be nothing but a loving husband in a farmhouse, far away from the city and its noise. The phone rang for the fifth time, and then he answered to the well-known name that was flashing on the screen. “Good morning, bro, hope you’ve

    “Nah, not even you believe your own lies. I know you love me. You’re just a mean, cold asshole,” Virgil said with the same joking tone that was considered unusual by everybody around him, with very, very few exceptions.“Whatever you say, bro. At what time do you plan to arrive? I gotta say, you have great timing, I was already planning to go back to the Governor’s house before he misses me too much, you know. Especially now that he’s so desperate to get Eron back, even if it’s back from the grave.”“I know… We’re going past noon, but I believe it would be better if we can take Alicia by surprise.”“I agree with that. Hopefully she doesn’t even suspect so she’s not defensive when the ‘secret weapon’ arrives.”“By secret weapon, you mean…?” “Bro, I guess you don’t remember when the two of them met… do you?”“Oh, I perfectly remember. Two ladies made to perfection to handle two hardheaded guys. Our gifts from the Moon Goddess, bro. How could I ever forget?”“Well then, ‘secret weapon’

  • Wolf’s Bane    TREASURED PAST FRIENDS

    “We’re ready to land, sir,” Antoine said as soon as the field was cleared and the tall, muscular, handsome, dark brown-haired, and clean-cut man, who, in another place and circumstances would have passed as a model, confirmed with a sign to the pilot that everybody was safely waiting inside the house.“Then, let’s, my friend. Although this kind of entrance is far from the surprise I would have liked,” Another tall, handsome, muscular male, but this one lightly bearded and with dark blond hair, who was inside the helicopter said to his pilot-slash-bodyguard. “Don’t worry, handsome. She might notice that you’re here, but I’m sure she has no idea about me,” his wife gave him a knowing smirk that immediately let him know she was up for the mission, and not taking a ‘no’ for an answer.He could easily get excited because of his mate’s show of determination, and the way in which whatever she would focus on she would get. It was a mental turn-on for him and somehow, she knew that well.The

    In less than five minutes, the door of the office opened and the two broad-shouldered gentlemen walked in.“Hello beautiful, how was your talk?” V kissed and hugged her, as he would every time even if they were separated for more than just two minutes only. They then walked straight to the minibar to serve four glasses of the wine that from a time before had won over his in-laws and was actually produced by their pack. “It was… enlightening. Now I need to hear the other side of the situation and talk to your friend here.”“Me?” Hero said distractedly. “You, of course, who else? I would like to know your reasons for refusing her to shift.”“Well, I’m just not doing it. With all due respect, Luna, I hoped you guys would help me get her to see some sense…”“You wanted us to tell her that your decision is the right one?”“Yes.”“Not try to help you, but make sure she agrees to what you are saying?”“Exactly, because mine is the logical choice and I’m absolutely right.”“Oh, are you real

    Please, follow me. I’m so glad to see you. The kids will love to meet their godmother,” Alicia said, letting her old friend out of her embrace and excitedly pulling her by her wrist so they could enter inside the house where the young mom lived her peaceful life. The memory, however, still sparked in the mind of all present as if it all had happened just the previous day. +++ “What do we have to do?” Hero got up from Helena’s office sofa and stood right behind Sorah, hugging her protectively. “Make love to her and bite her,” Helena said, sounding as if it was the most obvious and easy thing to do. “Huh? In… front of you…?” Alicia asked, immediately blushing. “You mean the marks ceremony, Luna?” Hero asked. “No, you’ll have that when and how you choose to. You could just bite her, deep and hard, even out of bed, but I believe that you both would have a nicer experience if you do that while making love. You’ll do that in one of the rooms on our medical wing, and immediately after

    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
