Katerina left the next day. Vladimir was somewhat gloomy when he arrived for his daughter, to Alina's question about his tired appearance, he answered that everything was going well, just a lot of work due to some circumstances in the Council and unrest among the clans of the capital. He did not specify the details, and Alina, frankly, it was not so important.Dasha saw off her new girlfriend, and was seriously upset, because it was impossible to write or call her. Alina suggested that she unwind and invite Olga Saburova for the upcoming weekend.“Exactly,” she replied, “it’s already possible. I'll just show her my new project. Would mom mind? What are your plans, will you be at home?Dasha remembered that Alina was busy collecting things for the trip and asked, embarrassed:- Are you going to meet Nikita? He, probably, will want to bring Olga to us? What should I tell her?- Don't say anything, I'll call Nikita myself.She understood her words in her own way, Alina didn’t know how, a
Alina will surely remember the moment of parting with her family for a long time. Mom sobbed, and Dasha did not lag behind her, after all, they became a real family for her. Alina herself did not lag behind them. If not for Vladimir, the family would not have let her down, since at the last moment her mother simply refused to let her go to another country.But now the farewell is left behind, Alina met Anton Pavlovich, a friend of Vladimir, a traveler and a bachelor in life, as her new acquaintance called himself. It was incredibly comfortable with him, although Alina saw that he treated her so well only due to a good recommendation from Vladimir. Anton Pavlovich looked about fifty years old, but he was in very good physical shape, and, most likely, was older.The trip promised to last a week, so Alina was glad to have a good conversationalist, given that Anton Pavlovich invited her to sit in the passenger seat next to her at any time. The motorhome was very comfortable, it was clear
The letter was short, but it hit the head of the clan in the stomach like a fist. After all, he had already begun to forget about the long-standing tragedy in the family, realizing that the search over the years had yielded nothing, which means that they would not give anything. And then one short letter, and he had hope. Nathan sat in silence for a while, then gathered a small council in the person of his uncle, their clan lawyer, Leroy Falua, and Ulva, his personal assistant.Handing over the letter to Ulva, he added in pursuit:“You’ll still quickly read it, pass it on to Leroy later. He will sit over it for a long time, - and leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes, once again, remembering the lines in his mind, drowning premature hope.Ulf carefully scanned the letter with his eyes and handed it to Mr. Falua, while he himself stared thoughtfully at the wall. He began to ask his lord, but only he hissed, pointing his head at their clan lawyer. Ulva nodded in agreement.When fin
They crossed the border of Italy unnoticed, Alina was sleeping, and Anton Pavlovich decided to stop for the night after the border. Another point that pleased Alina was that the border crossing went smoothly, without queues or a total check. When Alina asked for the first time, her companion answered in surprise that there is always a werewolf on duty and he senses everything, so there is no need to go in and check the car. He understands everything.Anton Pavlovich himself was in a hurry to meet a friend, so he drove the car all the next day, but still made a short stop in Rome. In this world, the city was both similar and not like its counterpart. The old city, covered with a millennium of history, was still smaller than Alina remembered in her world. But they happily dined in a cozy restaurant at the hotel and continued their journey.She made a call to the number that Vladimir left from a local hotel, fortunately in this world foreigners were treated very loyally, and the Italians
Then she scolded herself for a long time, but the letter for Nikita had already been given to Mark, and even taken away with the rest of the mail to the mainland, since a couple of days after his arrival, he was going to the port of Naples, and Laura so by the way asked her about the letter.Alina convinced herself that Nikita was far from the capital, and was definitely not interested in giving any information about her to outsiders. She really needs support right now! And she decided to take a chance. And she simply won’t say anything to Vladimir, he himself promised to call or send the news once a month.The first week was devoted to settling in the house, establishing acquaintances with the locals, Laura immediately invited her to her place, but they were in no hurry to invite her to Villa Tiberium. And who will invite, because she met the cook and the housekeeper at Laura, since she talked with them and invited everyone to drink tea with her. It was there that Alina learned the u
For some time, Alina heard only the indistinct rare exclamations of the master when he turned the pages and saw new drawings. Alina drew a part of her new collection in great detail, both in color according to real sizes, and in individual details, she approached her first collection and presentation so seriously. And it was clear that the master appreciated its result.And what do you want, this is not the twenty-first century in her world, where special programs made it possible to calculate the exact cost of a product based on the type of materials, weight and many other parameters. And what precise sketches could be made in her world. But here everything is done by hand, everything is done by myself, but the head remembers for all the years of experience. Yes, she has not yet worked out a machine gun in her new body, but that is why she drew so much. Just to fill your hand, to combine the knowledge that is in your head and the skill in your hands.And here is the result of her wor
Señor Maggi sat on an armchair opposite Alina and calmly examined her. The thoughts that wandered through his head were unknown to her, but his gaze, as if trying to drill a hole in her, was somewhat unnerving. It cost her a lot of work to sit quietly on the couch without fidgeting, although she felt extremely uncomfortable. Silently examining her all, he clearly made his own conclusions about her and decided to start a conversation, frankly asking:Your smell bothers me. Frankly speaking, I do not know who to consider you, so let's leave small talk for another situation, and now let's talk frankly, do you agree?He spoke Italian, Alina understood almost everything, hoping that her knowledge would be enough for answers, so she continued in the native language for the owner of this land:Yes, I am ready to answer your questions. What do you want to ask me?Señor Maggi leaned back in his chair, raising his chin, and asked thoughtfully:The smell, it immediately confused me. You do not s
Alina gave birth according to plan, without nerves and complications. She calmly reached the entire term, which the doctor warned her about, although she had her first child. But the werewolves had their own characteristics in these moments. A strong child will develop until the end of the term, and the birth itself with such children passes quickly. Werewolf children are strong, tenacious and more adapted to life already at the moment of birth. And her baby literally flew out of her like a cork. It's good that Laura insisted on a planned transfer to the hospital.By the end of her pregnancy, it was difficult for Alina to sit at her desk for a long time, although the order was brought to her even a little ahead of schedule. The woodworker was interested in her sketch of a changing chest and a bed, which she sketched in the workshop when visiting the shop, and he brought the order himself, hoping to talk calmly with an unusual customer.Alina in her past life furnished her apartment an
