Alina agreed in the city with the craftsman Sposito on deliveries, he asked to expand the assortment and use more interesting and attractive stones, which the craftsmen had not previously used in jewelry.Master Sposito was a good businessman and felt the real interest of the jaded public in the novelty: beauty, unusualness and rarity, these are the main factors. After all, professionally made jewelry from the best semi-precious and ornamental stones is the key to success. Here, masters did not undertake to make jewelry from such stones before. And they worked very little with metal wire. With alloys of base metals and even less.And Alina worked. In her world, she went through so many suppliers until she found her own, that she could without mistake choose those stones that would look most advantageous when finished. And her level of filigree in many jewelry was simply captivating.The conversation with Master Sposito about his apprentice and transfer of apprenticeship went smoothly.
If someone asked Alina what opinion she had left from the evening to which she was invited, she would answer: “I got into a fairy tale, scrolled back the story and saw how aristocrats live, how they communicate at parties, admired on the estate, which glows with lights from afar, inviting to itself, to the beautiful outfits of ladies and respectable men.And that was her first impression of what she saw. She was a little deafened by what was happening around her, the beautiful estate of the Countess Mancini, the lights and cars that constantly drove up to the front door. The master took care of all the transportation, so Alina only had to look according to the requirements.Having received the advice of the master to hide the shameful lack of smell, she already habitually after playing with baby Angelina hugged her wholeheartedly, after passing the baby to Francesca. And with trepidation she went to the first party in this life to the very cream of Naples society. The evening began ca
Literally a few minutes later, a man in his forties approached her, clearly a werewolf, judging by his sleek appearance, excellent physical shape and imperious look. Here werewolves differed from people, and over time, Alina began to distinguish one from the other. She tried to take a casual look, showing calmness and unwillingness to get acquainted. However, the man was not embarrassed by her slight detachment, he clearly wanted to get acquainted.- Good evening, dear lady. Let me introduce myself, Theon Revel, and what is your name, beautiful fairy?And Alina met the gaze of this man. My heart seemed to stop for a second in fear, and then it beat faster. This Revel looked very prepossessing, only a close, attentive look betrayed him. And in the depths of his eyes, Alina clearly saw who this predator considers her to be - prey! The look was hard, he looked at her carefully, not taking his eyes off, as if he was already trying on a future victim. And with his body, he blocked her from
Having passed several halls, Federico suddenly stopped and headed towards the doors, which Alina did not immediately notice. Entering, he closed the door, calmly looked around the room and offered to sit on a small sofa, which was located not far from the doors. The room was relatively small, like a living room. Federico remained standing, leaning on a chair opposite Alina, who sat down on the sofa, and gloomily looking at her, he explained:- Again you are in history, Alina. You have a direct habit of getting into non-standard situations, and from the outside you look so innocent and quiet. I wonder why you hooked Senorita Florio so much, not only joy and anticipation, but also gloating joy radiated from her in waves. What did you do to annoy her? I wouldn't have felt it if she hadn't been so turned on and standing so close. And she was clearly not happy when she found out about my escort. But Senor Vincenzo is clearly neither a dream nor a spirit, which pleases me. So, it was you pe
Her little girl felt her mother's mood and did not immediately come off Alina for the next two days. Her daughter turned out to be a feast for the eyes: a pretty, white angel, with slightly curly hair framing her head, and was very active, developing faster than those children that Alina knew from her world. Most likely, the double essence of the baby affected.Angelina was born in October, and she was only two months old, but the reflexes were like those of a four-month-old child. Alina had seen enough of the little ones, her younger sister had girls, both healthy, in terms of development they fit well into the standards and pleased her mother. Angelina was more mobile, had excellent reflexes, and ate for two in general, as Alina believed.The master's call brought Alina out of the state of a caring mother, reminding her that life does not stand still, and Florio's family urgently asks for a meeting. Alina remembered that the master had asked during the trip to the countess what day
Alina sighed, closing her eyes. How did she not take this moment into account, and did not forbid the master to talk about her daughter. He did not know that these girls, and indeed anyone in general, should not have been told about the baby once again. She opened her eyes, realizing that all three girls were sitting and looking at the master in surprise, as if they did not believe what he said. Alina immediately realized that she had seconds left until they sat in a stupor and did not take her seriously. She immediately got up and rushed out of the living room, feverishly remembering in which direction the owner of the estate and Senor Maggi had gone half an hour ago.Turning to the right, Alina heard the exclamation of Aurora, the more agile one, yelling at her to stop immediately. Yep, now! She rushed down the corridor, turned and, stopping next to a man who was clearly an employee of the house, asked him where the invited guest, Señor Magi, who she needed immediately. He pointed w
The next day, Alina decided to talk to Veronika, whom she had not seen for almost a year, but she remembered as a wonderful person. Alina was still afraid to trust someone completely, but she could ask for advice. Yes, and Veronica can clarify the issue with a psychologist. Is it really that important, and who better to turn to in her situation. Alina herself thought that it was worth finding a human psychologist. And then these werewolves, as they found out about her alpha daughter, looked at her in a different way.And she also decided to ask that opinion about werewolves, truth, and in general this whole situation with marks. Her mark scared Alina very much at first: she felt marked, belonging to someone she did not yet know. The feeling that you no longer completely belong to yourself and that you can become someone's property, even without a special desire, did not inspire her. Yes, she was told that for the true Alina she would be the most precious creature, who would be loved,
Russia, Belgorod, the office of the head of the Severin clan“Come in, Leroy, make yourself comfortable,” the lord and nephew were gloomy and collected, which clearly indicated new problems, and they did not agree on a meeting in advance, “let’s not beat around the bush, just read it.”From the abrupt movement with which he pushed the text towards him, the head lawyer of the Severin clan and the uncle of the head of the clan, Leroy Falua, realized that the case was urgent, and delved into reading. After skimming through the first paragraph, he stopped in shock, reread the beginning more slowly and thoughtfully, continuing at the same speed until he had read it completely. He closed his eyes, calculating the information, in a minute he was ready for communication, deciding to clarify:- Is it a precise information? Can it not turn out that we are simply being lured out of the country at such a tense moment? Nathan, I don't understand how this could happen. I can't believe it, I just ca
Epiloguethree years laterAlina sat at the table in her office and carefully read the letter. Surprisingly, she did not at all expect that Federico's mother, Anna-Maria Maggi, would write to her. She wanted to show it to her husband right away, but she could not resist and read it. In the letter, she asked not to immediately tell her son that she wanted to improve relations, because she had not been for so many years, and Anna-Maria was afraid that her son would not accept her.It turns out that quite recently Anna-Maria found out that her grandson, the heir to the Madzhi family, was born to her. That is why she could not resist and decided to write to her son's wife, that is, to her, Alina. Yes, Federico could be very stubborn about some things and would obviously be against the communication of his wife and runaway mother.Anna-Maria asked to enter into her position and still establish communication, at least through correspondence, where she could receive at least some information
Alina smelled simply divine, because it was impossible to hide the truth from him, she wanted him just like he wanted her. Federico laid her on the bed, and yet he caught a hint of uncertainty in the smell. What is this? Why does she doubt? And, yes, she is a person, and the world of smells is not as accessible to her as it is to him. After all, Alina cannot be afraid of communication with him, her first husband was a werewolf.Soothingly, he began to cover her fingers with kisses, gradually rising up her arm. The tongue ran along the wrist, then made a path along the forearm, getting to the elbow. Feeling the trembling of his beloved, he leaned over to kiss her, but Alina rested her hand on her chest, stopping him.What are we doing, Federico? What is our connection to you?He laughed.“Have you still not read who is true to us?” I am now finding my soul mate, you, Alina, - he kissed her on the palm, since he could see everything even in the dark. The hand felt an object that was com
Francesca immediately realized that Alina was upset, although she tried to hide her condition from her family. It's good that the daughter was sleeping, she was surprisingly fine-tuned to Alina and her mood. Surprisingly, werewolves really felt the mood of others better. Moreover, although Alina tried, it was difficult to hide such a state. She was too angry, and her nerves had been naughty in recent days.Her assistant quickly organized fragrant tea, seated Alina and kept her company, offering to have tea and chat like a woman. Alina was glad to be distracted, especially since she asked about the trip, and about the conversation with her ex-husband. Francesca was sincerely worried about little Angelina and did not want to lose such a ward at all. Still, the rest of the werewolves had a reverent attitude towards alphas, especially girls. Alina calmly answered her questions, but the latter was clearly agitated:“And why did you come so upset, señora.” You don't have a face. If everythi
Outwardly, Alina was calm, but inside doubts began. They calmly sailed to the island, exchanging rare phrases, enjoying the beautiful weather and the bright sun that flooded everything around with light. It would seem - an idyll, but Alina did not let go of the worm of doubt.“And why did I offer him, that's because the curiosity of a woman. But I really want to understand who they are, these werewolves. And who else will tell me and show himself a werewolf? After all, you can’t ask a stranger, I definitely wouldn’t dare. If you have already got into the world of two-in-ones, you should understand who they are. But it could be him, Federico. He touched me, and more than once. And if I check, remove the smell, and it turns out not to be him? And Nikita has already found his true mate. So, Lord Severin, or what? That will be horror! So, don't think about it for now."Alina squinted at her companion, realizing that she was getting to know Federico more and more, and he no longer seemed s
Italy, Naples, estate of the Florio family“And why did you do it, girls?” Aurora, it was you who knocked out your sister! Nathan was really angry. - I clearly told you that you sit quietly and do not interfere anywhere until my arrival. And what do I learn from Olaf, you ask me? You, Aurora, with the help of your sister, who distracted the rest of the guard, escaped, and, going to the Council of Families, officially filed a complaint from the Severin clan against Alina Astakhova about the theft of blood and about the trial of the theft of the heiress. Did I understand correctly? After all, this was not even a personal complaint, but from our clan?Aurora lowered her eyes, ashamed of having acted so rashly, but after just a few seconds she looked up and, looking angrily, exclaimed:— Yes, she is a brazen and cunning thief. You were always on her side: “girls, help Alina get comfortable, I will be glad if you make friends, Aurora, be more flexible.” Why should I be good and flexible. S
