Wolf’s Bane

Years later, Helena would be the one who would travel to their house to make sure that Hero’s vow would still remain, and that nothing would ever happen to his lady again.

This means that she should succeed in her mission…

And she intended to do so.

“Oh, hello there kids, I’m so glad to meet you both…”

Meanwhile the two young lovers were talking with each other inside their powerful and classy vehicle…

“Baby, I can’t believe we’re really going on a cross-country vacation right in the middle of you wanting to work double time to earn enough for our wedding. What happened to change your mind?”

“Well, I still need to use my paid leave and the higher-ups demanded it since I’ve been putting it on hold for years now. Besides, got myself a sweet assignment my dear baby girl, and it’s going to pay me extra moolah, too. It’s so big, we can have a really cool vacay without worrying about spending our savings, aaaand even add to our bank account, too.”

The city’s multi-awarded blond and boyish Detective was smiling widely throughout his explanation, as he hugged his darling light brown-haired fiancé around her narrow waist and brought her towards him for a quick but loving kiss. He was in such a good mood today that he felt like having a Different kind of “meal” but since Raquel had just served him breakfast in bed, he knew had no choice but to eat the bacon, eggs, buttery French toast, and baked apples with cream and cinnamon instead of what he was actually craving for.

Past experiences had shown him that bypassing any of the meals his sweet girlfriend had served him would not end well, even if the food items in front of him were not cooked by his lover and she just ordered it from room service.

Oh no, not even if the alternative included him satisfying their rabid sexual appetites in bed.

Maybe she would be intensely pleasured at first, but wait until you’ve both already climaxed and realized her dishes had grown cold as it waited for the couple’s attention. Oh, Myron had learned never to let it happen again.

So now, he was just getting himself pepped up as Raquel placed the tray table in front of him and was extremely thankful that she was close enough to grab and hug her while his breakfast feast was right in front of him waiting to be devoured BEFORE he devoured anything else.

Or someone, in particular…

“Oh, that sounds amazing, my handsome hubby! Does this have anything to do with the work you’ve been doing at home for the past few days?” Raquel asked as she scooped sugar and cream into Myron’s empty coffee mug that sat on the tray, and then proceeded to pour their French press’ contents into it. “I hope you like the new coffee mix I’ve made you, by the way, my love.”

Myron inhaled the very hot brew that was now in his cup and felt instant satisfaction for his other senses. He smiled up at her in thanks and kissed her small fingers as she placed them on his lips just to show his affection, then took a sip.

Oh, how he loved his coffee and this beautiful lady…

“Love, you forgot about my question. I realize you’re not yourself in the morning if you haven’t had your coffee yet but…”

“Oh… OH yes, THAT question… Yes, the work I’ve done these past few days has been really fruitful and my client has been so happy with my reports to him. That’s why I need to go on the road to check out some of the leads that I found. Of course, he’s very willing to cover all my expenses, and what better way to maximize this opportunity but to bring you along with me?”

“You are such a genius, boyfie. I’m so proud of you, and yes, I would love to spend more time with you. I am really missing you a lot since you’ve been in and out of the house so much and then you keep looking at your files and laptop instead of me. So sad…”

“Awww, baby, you do know that this is for you too, right? Not just for the wedding but so I can take care of you, sweetheart. See, I’ve managed to close this nice deal that both of us are now enjoying, right? So now, I can make everything up to you and I promise that I will, while working on my case, too.”

“Alright, I won’t make a fuss but just be thankful that you still remember me even if you’re so busy, my darling love.”

“Hehe, of course, I can never ever forget you. You’re my sunshine, remember. And that’s going to be forever.”

The buxom but girly woman beside him smiled up at her man with a slightly shy expression, and he couldn’t help but feel more ‘hungry’ for her. He loved it whenever she played coy with him since he knew there was a rabid tigress underneath that supposed demure look.

Besides, weren’t they now checked into one of the most famous and luxurious resorts this part of the country had to offer? There really was nothing to complain about at this point, especially since he had rented one of the more elegant and expensive beach houses in the area.

All they needed to do now was to enjoy themselves and the passionate and loving couple intended to do that this morning before the detective started his special assignment. As he continued to enjoy breakfast and the attention of his lady love, he couldn’t help but congratulate himself as he remembered the incident that gave them this very special treat.

He couldn’t believe it happened just yesterday…

Myron’s good mood had begun when he woke up to his phone vibrating on his bed stand back at their condo apartment in the city. Seeing that he was already alone on the bed, and he could hear and smell Raquel’s cooking coming from the kitchen, he didn’t even bother looking at the screen to find out who it was.

Besides, he hadn’t had his coffee yet and he was still half-alive, practically in a zombified phase…

“Hello?” the detective slurred.

“Good morning, Myron. Based on your voice, I’d say you’re still half-asleep.”

“Oh, Governor Kahlagu…” he immediately responded, his voice and energy immediately spiking as if he suddenly got an adrenaline shot through the chest. “I’m sorry… yes, I was about to send you an email to report on something I recently found out…”

“Well, you have my attention now. I do prefer a verbal report over a boring document, which I can’t even ask on-the-spot questions when I want to. So yes, go ahead, Detective.”

“I hope you don’t mind me asking you some questions first, Sir. Do you have any idea where the Right Hand’s motorcycle is?”

“Hmmm… I don’t believe I do. Why do you ask?”

“Because I saw it parked very near his car in a picture, and that was after his automobile exploded. Now my next question is, why was it there if he already had a ride available? And, most importantly, where did the motorbike go because I’ve checked the mall and it’s nowhere to be found. I’m suddenly starting to believe your theory, sir, that he really is still alive.”

“Inspector, no offense intended, but I didn’t hire you to tell me that I’m right. What I told you to do is to find proof that I am right in my opinion about my Right Hand’s present state and conduct a search so you can tell me where he is.”

“Of course, Gov, sorry about my lack of… trust in you. And yes, I’ve been checking roadway cameras and I have been able to identify places where his bike was. I mean, it’s not that difficult to filter my search using his bike’s personalized novelty license plate and I’ve already found a few video clips and images to begin my travels but yes, I still need to go through authorization, due process…”

“Officer, I realize that you will need a ton of paperwork and go through quite a pile of red tape before you can leave and follow The Charmer to wherever part of the country he may be. However, can you please, for the love of God, get straight to the point.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Well, I am supposed to start my search as soon as I can process my paid leave at the precinct. I don’t want anyone suspecting I’m doing something that isn’t part of my cases, and I don’t want them to find out that you gave me this assignment if I don’t do it under the guise of a vacation so I…”
