"Lisa, my dear, thank you for showing me this eye candy. I will use it to the maximum."
"That's great, mommy!"
"Let's go downstairs to fetch something to fill our bellies."
Vanessa carried Lisa at her back and placed her hands under the little one's butt to support her.
******
Dining hall.
It was very large, spacious and tastefully furnished. Vanessa was in awe but quickly hid it. Jack scoffed and asked Lisa to sit close to him but she shook her head in refusal.
"I said... come here!" he said in a slightly mad tone.
"Dear," Vanessa whispered to Lisa while petting her hair gently. "Don't anger your dad. It's bad for his health. Go and give him a hug and then say sorry to him. Alright? When you come back, you'll get a big fat reward."
"Ok, mommy." Lisa nodded and left her seat.
She ran to her dad and hugged his stomach. He frowned and tried to remove her small hands but she refused.
He sighed and carried her so she sat on his laps.
"Okay, what are you up to now, little one?" he asked while taking a spoon to scoop the rice porridge. He blew on it tenderly and brought it to her mouth.
"Say Ah!" he said and she obeyed.
He then fed her the porridge and she licked her lips after consuming it.
"You like it?" he asked.
"Hmm Hmm!" she nodded vigorously and kissed her dad's chin.
"Daddy, you're the best!" she said and flew from her dad's hold to a shocked Vanessa.
The moment she landed on her seat, she gasped.
"Oh my! I forgot to keep my secret. Oops!" she said and stared at Vanessa.
"You... can fly? You are a super kid!"
"Eh... I only do that when it's necessary."
"I'll keep it a secret." Vanessa swore but Lisa rolled her eyes.
Who was it that sent Jack's '5 star' picture to her bestie?
"I'm serious. This is top notch secret. I can't bear to put you in danger. I'd rather be beaten..."
"Monk fish, just focus on eating. It could be your last meal." Jack said with a frown.
"Last meal? Lisa's father, what do you mean by that?" Vanessa asked unhappily.
"I think you are done eating. Come with me to the study. I have something important to discuss with you." Jack rose up and walked out of the dining room. Lisa stared at her mommy.
"Calm down, mommy. He doesn't mean any harm. Whenever he does this to me, it's at most spanking and receiving a an earful of lethal lectures." said Lisa.
"Oh. Lethal eh? I can do that. I'm done eating. Wait for my goodnews, dear." Vanessa kissed Lisa's cheeks tenderly and rubbed her hair causing Lisa to laugh.
She then followed Jack to his study.
Some minutes later, Vanessa pounced at Jack in ire and irritation. He told her that she had uneven hips, who knows she might transfer it to Lisa, causing her to have an uneven brain?
These words broke her last wall of sanity and she held his t-shirt.
"It's worth $5000. Quite cheap. Will you pay?" he asked indifferently.
"You... I don't care..."
"Currently, my heart is beating 5000 times per minute due to fear. Te emotional damages you are causing me could mean my taking a week off work to receive treatment and rehabilitation therapy, head massages. And if I ended up running like a mad on the streets after all that, even if it's just for a minute, you can't even imagine the punishment that you'll get from..."
"I'm done with your damn excuses. Take this." she tried to punch him but he held her hand.
Her strength was no match for him. She looked like a small cat trying to punch a tiger.
"Monk fish, you still won't learn your lesson and wish to fight me. A new born calf indeed isn't afraid of the lion." he stated and she scoffed.
"I'm not a newborn calf." she lowered her head to bite the hand that held hers from punching his damn face.
"You..." he quickly threw her to the ground and put his hand close to his mouth. He licked the blood. Normally, once he got injured, it healed very quickly but this wound refused to heal.
He stared at her and his eyes turned amber red shocking Vanessa.
"You... red eyes! Red eyes!" she started to shift away, looking horrified.
"What are you, Vanessa? Why can't I heal? Look!" he showed her his hand that had started bleeding profusely. His blood decorated the ground and turned black.
He walked to her and she kept shifting away.
"Tell me, what are you?" he barked as his eyes changed color to cyan blue shocking her even more.
"You don't wanna speak?" he then pointed his hand at her and immediately, Vanessa's body rose up in mid air.
She was shocked. What the hell was this turn out of things? She only bit him. It wasn't even that hard. How did it trigger this kind of demon in human form? Was Jack a vampire? It can't be since they hate sunlight. Then what was he?
She saw her body flying towards Jack. She wanted to free herself but couldn't. The moment the distance between them shortened by a lot, he grabbed her neck. This time, his eyes had become shiny gold. Even the whites of his eyes could no longer be seen.
He then spoke in a very deep voice: "Tell me,Vanessa, who are you?"
"I..." she was choking and couldn't speak well. After a time, she managed to reply.
"Please, let me go. I'm just an ordinary, poor human. I'm Lisa's babysitter. Please don't kill me. I beg you...." she wanted to cry from all the choking.
"Still won't speak, eh?" he said and they both vanished.

Meanwhile, in the dining room, Lisa who was eating happily suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest.
The spoon fell from her hand and she got down the chair. She went into a crouching position, almost about to cry.
"It hurts. It's too painful." she complained.
Upon recalling something, she gasped.
"Mommy is in danger? Who would try to hurt her?" she became enraged and tried to transform to her healer look but failed woefully.
"Eh? Why is it like this? Why? How can I save mommy now?" she looked confused.
An idea came and she hurried to the study that was locked from the inside.
She could still summon her wand but it seemed to be just decoration at this moment. She couldn't use it's power.
"Damn it!" she cursed in anger and frustration.
She used her healer magic sense to search the study area since she couldn't enter. She was shocked that no one was there.
She headed to the hidden underground room that only a few people could access.
Reaching there, she was very tired. Her small body couldn't take it anymore. She decided to crawl into the room and saw a shocking sight.
"Ah!" she screamed in fright.
Her dad looked like hulk in human form (i.e a giant) and was holding her mommy by her neck. She was close to death.
"Daddy stop!" she yelled.
Strength from nowhere came and she ran towards them.
"No... No... baby..." Vanessa tried to warn the little bun but it was too late.
Jack turned around and used his telekinesis on her. Lisa was very scared as she couldn't use her powers.
"Pl...ease... stop. I'll talk..." Vanessa struggled to speak.
He immediately let Lisa down in a rough way.
She fell to the ground and hit her head on a pillar.
Her forehead began to bleed and she fainted from dizziness and pain.
At that moment, Vanessa felt a very strong pain. It was stronger than any she ever felt whenever the little bun was in danger.
She stared at the little one bleeding and tears slid down her cheeks.
Why was it like this? She should be the one in such condition and not Lisa. That innocent kid...
At this moment, her eyes turned red and as her transformation was soon to start, the force broke her away from Jack's grip. Her hair fluttered and gold light covered her from head to toe.
She began to transform to an upgraded temporary fairy self. Her wings were now made of real flames. Her hair was braided and gold color. Her clothes had become a black long lace gown that covered her feet and hands.
On her head appeared a black tiara with a red ruby in the middle. Her feet was bare of shoes and beads. Her skin became bronze and lips purple. She stretched her hands sideways and two swords with fiery blade appeared.
"Divya is mad!" she yelled.
The swords flew from her hands towards Jack to attack him. He started trying to elude them but would an incensed Vanessa let him go so easily?
"I can accept you choking me. But not hurting Lisa!"
"I see, you are a damn flame fairy. My bane!" Jack said as he dodged.
Unfortunately, he underestimated the swords that she was controlling and got injured in several places.
This caused his eyes to return to red.
He crouched and his bones started cracking at a fast rate.
"Ahhhhhh!" he screamed. His eyes returned to his normal human eyes. He looked at Vanessa in shock at her fairy form.
"You are a fairy? You shouldn't have bit me, Vanessa. Ahhh, it hurts!"
Crack! Crack! Crack!
His bones continued to snap, crack and lengthen.
"Please... get her out of here, Vanessa. My wolf will hurt her. You too... leave." he managed to say before his eyes returned to amber red.
He growled and it shook the basement.
Vanessa stared at him for one moment and flew quickly to carry Lisa bridal style.
She then flew out of the basement and locked the door with flame chains.
"Lisa, I'm so sorry you got involved in this. Forgive me!" she whispered in tears.
Her tears fell onto Lisa's forehead and a blue light appeared.
In no time, she opened her eyes.
"Mommy?" she called.
"MY dear. Mommy is sorry. Very sorry!" Vanessa kept apologizing.
"It's fine! And you are a flame fairy? That's cool!" she exclaimed and admired Vanessa's fluttering flame wings.
"This is temporary. It will take me a long time to become a true flame fairy guardian."
"Still, it's awesome!" the little one praised.
"BTW, how's my dad? Did some evil possess him?"
"Eh... speaking of that... I think... it's better we get you to a safe place. I'll go check on him later. Make sure you go to bed and have sweet dreams. By tomorrow, you handsome daddy will be before you." she promised.
"Fine, I'll try. mommy."
"That's my girl!" Vanessa pecked Lisa's forehead.
After putting the litle one to sleep, Vanessa returned to the basement and removed the fire chains.
She then used her flames to blow the door open. After a minute of waiting, she flew in and saw a white wolf crouched and whimpering. The moment the wolf spotted her, it stood on guard though it was like a paper tiger at this moment.
"Um... You must be his wolf. Look, I'm not here to hurt you even though you did earliuer to me. I need to taLK to you about something." she said as she flew closer to him but he kept retreating.
"Oh, I get it. You said I'm your bane. Why is that? What's the dislike for Lisa?" she asked and sat on the floor some feet away from him.
Her wings disappeared but not her fairy clothing and accessories.
The white wolf relaxed and crouched again.
"You can't talk in wolf form right?" she asked and it nodded.
"K! I guess it's gonna be me doing the talking eh?"
The wolf looked away causing her to chuckle.
"Ok! Now. question 1. Are you the true father of Lisa? I'm asking this both of you and the other guy."
The wolf shook its head.
"2. Is her mother a magical being?"
The wolf nodded.
"3. Was she a healer too like Lisa?"
The wolf nodded.
"4. Where is she now? I mean I heard rumors that she's dead..."
The wolf nodded.
"Oh, she really is. Poor Lisa. So what about you being werewolf thingy. Was the other guy born with you?"
The wolf shook it head.
"You found a way to attach yourself to him?"
There was no reply.
Before she could ask another question, she heard the wolf's bone crack.
"Oh my!" she exclaimed.
The wolf struggled to move to another place to no avail.
"If you want me to turn around, just signal."
Vanessa turned around and her flame wings appeared again.
The bone cracking became louder and she heard the whimpers and struggles of the wolf.
After a while, she heard nothing and decided to turn around.
When she had come in earlier, she didn't see any stripped clothes so she thought this type of werewolf shifts with clothes intact. How incorrect she was!
The moment she laid her eyes at the spot where the wolf once rested, she saw a human figure. The hair on his whole body had just finished receding except for the ones on his head.
Now what she could behold, was a certain somebody wearing his birthday suit.
"Ahhhhh!" she screamed without covering her eyes nor did she make effort to turn around. The shout was a cover up for the fact that she was sizing his side profile up.
"Wow! Look at your red, lean butt. But you have a nice figure though." she thought while still screaming.
"Ahhhh!"
"You... turn around you pervert. What are you looking at? Turn around. Gosh!" he hugged himself as he sat on the floor.
"Well, it's just your side profile." she said after deciding to drop her act.
"Look! I know you are mad at me. I know that! But I'm human now and deserve some dignity too. Please, turn around Vanessa." he begged with a red face.
"You won't call me monk fish anymore? You won't say my hips are uneven again? You will speak gently to me and Lisa? Do you agree?" she asked in amusement.
"Yup! I agree." he said in a tired voice.
"Your face is red as a monkey's butt, do you agree?"
"Yes!"
"You will go to work in a sexy maid's uniform tomorrow to fulfill Lisa's wish, do you agree?"
"Y...Yes!"
"Will you apologize to Evelyn in such outfit tomorrow?"
"Yes! Now can you turn around?" he asked impatiently.
"If I do, does it solve your wardrobe problem? And would you want your workers to see you bare? Huh?"
"I..."
Vanessa stretched her hands and a red sexy lace pantie appeared. She threw it at him and turned around with amusement.
"The choice is yours. Wear it or not? Besides, it's brand new."
She then flew out of the basement with a nosebleed.
"Gosh! That was tough. Sorry Mr. Jack,, but I had to get my revenge on you." she cleaned the blood with a white hanky.

Jack on the other hand looked conflicted. He absolutely couldn't wear that.
"Damn you, Vanessa!" he swore under his breath.
"Albert, just... do your thing. I'll bear it." he said with resignation.

Vanessa flew to her room and picked up the blanket. She then returned to the basement entrance only to hear painful groans.
"Oh my... she threw the blanket inside the basement without entering.
"I'm sorry, Mr Jack!" she immediately fled.
Jack who was halfway done with his transformation collapsed with tiredness.
This Vanessa was indeed his bane!
He managed to make the blanket fly to him and he wrapped his bare body in it. Then he struggled to rise.
"This damn fairy couldn't even wait to render assistance."
"Mr Jack, can I come in? You should be clothed by now if I'm right." he heard her yell from outside the basement.
"You... just come in without your fairy form." he said with gritted teeth.
"Okay!" she entered in human form cautiously.
"Hurry, come help me up." he commanded.
She walked slowly to him and helped him stand up but his feet suddenly lacked strength and the blanket loosened.
His instinct was to pull her with him as he fell to the floor.
"Mommy? Daddy?" a soft voice was heard and both stared at her in shock.
"Lisa, we're playing a game for adults." Vanessa gave a lame excuse with a dry laugh.
"Oh, can I join too?" Lisa still looked sleepy.
"Er... no go back to sleep." Jack stammered.
"Ok. See you tomorrow." the little one flew back to her room and lay sprawled on the bed.
Seeing that she'd left, Vanessa tried to get up but Jack held her arms.
"Don't get up yet. I have some questions to ask you."
"In this position? Your thing... down south, is poking me. I'm uncomfortable here. Let me get up." she complained.
"Me too, but first, you have to promise me one thing."
"What is it?"
"All the things I said 'Yes' to earlier, are now null and void. Do you agree?"
"You... I agree!"
"Now close your eyes and get up. Then turn around."
After she'd followed his instructions, he wrapped himself tightly in the blanket.
"Turn around and help me." he commanded.
********
An hour later, both sat in Jack's study discussing and answering each other's questions.
Vanessa had found out how Lisa came to be under his care even though he wasn't her true father.
Four years ago, a woman with red hair came and alleged that he had impregnated her. She was 7 months due and made a big fuss.
He accepted her to stay in the home till the baby is born. Then tests would be done to prove if he was the father or not.
When the child was born, it was a beautiful female who looked like him which confused him as he could swear he was still a virgin.
When Lisa was a month old, he conducted a paternity test and found to his shock that he wasn't the father.
He got further confused at how it was possible for a non-blood to carry his face.
He argued with the lady who finally confessed that she was the queen of a faraway kingdom in another planet. She had few days left to live and wanted to hand her princess to someone with power to protect her.
He was angry at being deceived and wanted to kick them out but she begged him immensely.
She gave him her locket saying that it should always be with the little one.
Then she placed a red orb in his hand and told him to look at the full moon in five days. Then she passed away in his arms.
Although he was mad, he had to take careof Lisa who as the days passed came to look more and more like him.
She wouldn't let anyone except him feed or bathe her. He had to babysit her while doing his Ceo duties and cried a lot, often disturbing him.
Then on the fifth day, he took the orb and looked at the full moon only for him to transform into a wolf that night. When he transformed back the next day in front of his most loyal shadow bodyguards, he was nude.
He had to deal with Lisa's annoying cries for a long time after that.
Only when she was two before she let go of him and clung to the nannies.
Every full moon he transforms and has to eat agonizing pain. His hatred for Lisa kept increasing as she was the child of that woman and another man.
It was 7 months ago that he discovered she was a healer after placing the locket around her neck.

"So you both hate and love Lisa?" Vanessa asked.
"Yeah, kind of! She's a cute little one but she pisses me off a lot and thinking of the pain I have to eat every full moon, I just wanna whack her to death but I can't. Vanessa, you are a flame fairy. My wolf type is scared of your flames of Nirvana. A bite from you is what triggered everything. But, I'm sorry for trying to kill you. It won't ever happen again, I promise." Jack said with palms pressed together.
"It's fine. I admit that I wanted to take revenge on you earlier."
"Me too, Vanessa though I think I kinda went overboard with him. You know what I mean."
"You know if you didn't release me in time, I would return back to my fairy self." she said with a 'Hmph!'
"So, is your bestie also a fairy like you?" he asked.
"She is a twin element fairy-ice and wind lotus fairy."
"Oh! She isn't my opponent at all. You are. But don't tell her my secret. I'll tell you one to be even. You ever heard of Nelson Woodley?"
"Yup! I wanna beat him up for his disrespect to ladies."
"He is a wolf too but his is a fiery blood wolf that is as twisted as his personality." Jack confessed.
"Oh! Now we are indeed even. Let's pinky swear not to tell our secrets to another soul." she suggested.
"Nope! I'm a man of my word." he said and she rolled his eyes.
"That was earlier... I felt it was unfair so I didn't keep my word but this is a serious matter. We can't let our secrets make news okay?"
"I'm not dumb. So... can we be friends?" she asked.
"I... it's fine to be business friends." he replied after a while.
'It's late! Gonna catch some sleep after wiping the memories of any servant who saw our episode." she yawned and left.
"Thanks!' he muttered and sighed.
He checked the date on his phone. In a weeks time, he'd be transforming again on the full moon night. Sigh! What an unlucky month.

The next morning, Lisa came downstairs to see her dad waiting for her in the living room. He was reading a book about business politics.
"Daddy!" she ran to hug him.
He picked her up and kissed her forehead.
"Daddy is sorry for the past. I promise that fro now on Daddy will be good to you." h swore.
"And mummy?" Lisa asked.
"Yup! I won't fight with her anymore. In fact, we are now friends." he said.
"Father and daughter, come get your food. It's set." Vanessa called from the dining room.
"Yay!" Lisa left her dad's embrace and headed to the dining room excitedly, causing Jack to sigh and rise to his feet.
That day, the three went to the city's zoo to admire animals and then relax in the national garden.
Jack felt satisfied for the first time!

Four days later, Vanessa was able to persuade the little bun to go to school and mingle with others; make new friends.
Evelyn came to visit and spent time chatting with her bestie.
Vanessa told her about Lisa's origin but not about Jack being a moon werewolf. Evelyn then decided to travel to the next country for a business tour.
2 days later, Vanessa watched in distress as she saw Jack uneasy in daytime. His temperature was abnormal.
When the moon came out in full, Vanessa flew him to the forest to transform.
His cries of agony pained her. He shredded his clothes to pieces and endured his bones cracking every second.
At a point, he wanted to kill himself as this pain was three times more than whenhe did so in the basement.
"Vanessa, I can't do this anymore. It hurts too much!"
Crack! Crack!
"Ahhhh!" he screamed.
She wanted to go close to him but he forbade her from doing so.
"I'm naked and... I'm currently hideous. I could even hurt you since you are my bane."
"I think it's because I bit you that day." she said in guilt.
"N...No, it isn't! My power increases every full moon. The more the power, the more pain I have to eat. I just wasn't prepared for this kind of pain. Ahhhh!"
"I wish I could help you, Jack." she said from behind the large tree she hid at.
"You being here to comfort me is enough. Ahh!"
"I... should just let you finish." she concluded.
"Okay!"
After four long hours, his white wolf completely materialized and it crouched to rest and recover.
Vanessa flew to it and sat beside it.
"Sorry!" she said while touching his fur.
The wolf nodded and rested on her laps. It was very tired as it immediately fell asleep.
She created a flame barrier around them and rested her back on a tree.
The next morning, birds chirping happily woke her up.
She groaned and looked at the still sleeping wolf on her laps.
She placed her hands on his head and patted it gently.
It opened it's amber red eyes and stared at her.
"Good morning! She greeted and it nodded.
Then left her laps looking embarrassed.
She laughed and flew around to search for fruits that were delicious and edible.
She also caught some game and returned to the spot where they'd passed the night.
She didn't find Jack there and flew to the river to see him neck deep in the water.
"You..." she couldn't scold him. His skin was still red.
"Yu transformed in the water?"
"Yup! And I have a fever from yesterday. I wanted to reduce the stress and pain in here. Can you give me my stuff?" he asked.
'Oh! Here it is," she placed new set of clothes on a rock and flew back to the spot.
When Jack returned, she offered him fruits and continued roasting the game she caught.
"Vanessa, thank you. Normally, when I shift on the full moon, no one accompanies me. You helped a lot. Thanks."
"Finish those fruits fast, Mr Jack."
"Pissed that I didn't let you see me while shifting? I told you I ws hideous. Nothing to admire on my body at that moment."
"You... I'm not a pervert!" she said, annoyed.
"Then at the basement that day..." he got silenced as she threw a meat leg at him.
"Hahahaha!" he laughed at her angry face.
"Eat up, wolf!"
"Thanks, dear!"
They returned to Jack's home after devouring the game.
When they saw Lisa eating alone in the dining room, they apologized.
"No, mummy, daddy. I understand what daddy has to go through on the full moon. I've known for some time now. Sorry daddy!" she hugged Jack.
A tear slid down his cheek and he pecked her forehead.
"I love you, Lisa." he whispered and hugged her back.
"I love you too, daddy."
Vanessa watched their bonding with a smile.
It made her think of her late father.
