"A guy with a scar is standing in front of me, the lugars listen to his every word. They resemble hunted dogs who are afraid to argue with their owner, or rather, a merciless trainer. Just a glance and the wolf demons cowardly lower their heads and back away. Kasius looked at me, the wild expression on his face giving him an intimidating look. But the eyes look somehow different. Something has changed. Step by step he comes closer. The bloodthirsty monster has chosen a target, and that target is me. Here it is death and killing the demon will definitely be slow, forcing you to experience as much pain as possible. She jumped up on the bed. Lost the first moment. Where I am? What's happening? Eyes were blinded by bright light from the window. The sun's rays do not give orientation. In addition, the head is splitting. Not to inspect the premises. She leaned back against the pillows. Memories of what happened yesterday flashed before my eyes. I tried to drive away this horror. The
His heart fluttered painfully in his chest. I don't know what upset you more? That he only cares about his mother, or that he doesn't care if I'm alive or not?- I won't forgive you. It really wasn't your fault that time. But the death of the she-wolf will be on your conscience. Elyan's pulse slowed sharply.- She has a right to know. Brandon didn't calm down. She stood as if rooted to the spot. Grown to the stairs, as if taking root.- No less than you worry about the girl. - a rude tone in relation to a friend, proved the veracity of what was said. When she wakes up, I'll talk to her.- That's fine!- Don't get attached to the girl. Soon she will return to her hometown. The vampire was silent. And if I can determine by heartbeat and breathing what Elian is experiencing, then this number will not work with the marble guy.- The main thing is that Melissa returned safe and sound. You can't even understand anything from your voice. The same, even tone.- Will be back. What d
Despite the coolness of the season, the day turned out to be warm. The debutante balls are in full swing. Therefore, my parents decided to arrange it for my younger sister. At the same time introducing me to the London high society, after many years of absence. My training took place in America. Having graduated from Harvard, I am considered an excellent match for many noble persons. Father has long prepared a dowry for Evelyn's future wedding. Her companion will be carefully selected. Proposals were received without a ball, but all were rejected. The head of our family, considers love a useless feeling. Marriage is a way for him to make a deal and sell his own children at a higher price. After returning, I was introduced to the family business. Thanks to education and intelligence, he was able to increase his income several times, but he could not avoid marriage. My parents believe that without a wife in society I will not have the proper status. It's a disgusting feeling when y
He ran away, the speed was amazing. The terrain was changing rapidly, the cemetery, the deserted night streets, the outskirts and the forest. So much has run, but there is no fatigue at all. He deliberately looked for animals, their smell is not as attractive as that of a person, but he is ready to try to refrain from attacks on the townspeople with the help of their blood. Comparable to diet in the treatment of diseases. Tasteless, but still useful. A red fox with a copper color, like my hair color, caught a hare and carried the prey to his hole, but when he saw me, he rushed to run, while making whining squealing sounds. The predatory instincts kicked in. Caught up with the animal without much effort. Fresh and sweet blood poured into his mouth. If a person smells tastier than a wild animal, then the taste is better. He pushed the bad thoughts away. He sucked the poor fox without a trace, but did not feel full saturation. You need to oversaturate yourself so as not to be danger
Not knowing what to do within the four walls, sitting under the tutelage of two friends, she spent time reading books. The library is large and caters for every taste, from historical novels to mysticism, 20th century literature and Sherlock Holmes antiquarian collections, the first as far back as 1902. But no matter how much I liked to dive into the worlds of the authors, I was haunted by a thick layer of dust on the shelves and books. I decided to do something useful and clean these treasures from years of dirt. Elian went first to inspect the territory of the forest. His fear is entirely justified. He lost his sister. And I don’t perceive Brandon’s attitude towards me as a concern, but rather as a way to protect not only from danger, but also from feelings. His conscience torments him if something happens to me. For a soulless creature, as people call them, he is too noble. It is easier to communicate with him than with Elyan. It is open and warm, while the fighter is secretive
Don't take my words literally. No, I don't mind tasting you at all, but not with your teeth. Taste receptors combined with touch receptors give a special pleasure. She continued to be silent. The underlying subtext in the words frightened even more than death.- Yes, I do not deny our species is omnivorous. These are modern Lugars who have not passed through the centuries, who have not seen wars and famine, prefer to eat exclusively human flesh. The legend is true in part, or rather does not reveal the whole truth.- Truth?- Looks like you're interested. I love the sparkle in your eyes. Kasius smiled, showing even white teeth. We are scarier creatures than we are told. Therefore, the first-born are singled out, we are terrible with all our guts and consciousness. Velius tried to raise his faithful dogs as such, deliberately fed the werewolves with flesh, but they were still different, just pets, tame trained animals, albeit more bloodthirsty than ordinary lugars. And we are manic b
The forest is the only place where I feel free. Nature gives peace that city life cannot give. Constant noise and fuss create chaos in thoughts, as well as a whirlpool of different emotions, and by no means most often bad ones. There are many of them, from irritation and constant tension, to anger and hatred. There is no peace that any animal feels in its natural habitat. Maybe we are half people, but the wolf essence has a clear superiority, as for the human, it only restrains the animal, preventing it from completely breaking the chain. Many members of my pack prefer to live in the forest. They go to the city only when absolutely necessary. If I called or it was their turn to patrol and clean the streets from our bloodthirsty relatives. I think it's time to call everyone. Revenge, although personal, but the daughter of the chosen ones must be protected, extra fangs and claws will not interfere. True, he scattered the guys all over Europe, so as not to let the wolf demons unbelt.
- Good. The more of us, the more real the chance to stay alive.- Okay, we'll talk about that later. Wait for Brandon.- I'm still unpacking things. Melissa didn't even look at me as she walked into the room. He looked at the girl's back. Beautiful feminine curves, graceful unhurried movements. The gait is similar to the model. She is taller than Katherine. The legs are long, as if from the ears and the skin color is bronze. It gives emerald eyes a special appeal. And the character, I grinned, is a real fire. Burning, burning and unstoppable. The complete opposite of my mother. Can I contain this fire? Or will he kill me? Evening has fallen, the sun has long disappeared over the horizon, and the friend still does not return. I started to get nervous and it looks like I'm not the only one. Melissa tossed around the room, not finding a place for herself. The footsteps did not stop, only increasing my anxiety. The sound from them was given by a knock in the head. If something happen
She went to the phone on the bedside table. Several beeps, but no one answered. Picked up again and again. I was about to turn it off when I heard my favorite voice.- Hello!- Eliane. - the name I uttered caused warmth in my soul.- Melissa? Where are you? We are looking for you all over the city. Are you whole? - the concern in his voice caused tears, but not sadness, but joy.- Get me out of here.- Where are you? I'll be right there.- At the Corinthia Hotel. There was silence on the other end. She heard breathing, but he was silent.- I am good. I'm in the penthouse, on the top floor.- Wait, don't go anywhere. Elian hung up. I so want to see him. It is my salvation. I didn't dare to step out onto the balcony. That place is forbidden. Why does conscience hurt? Because Casius loved me. There was noise in the hallway. Elian neutralized the guards. Knock on the door. True, he did not wait, but simply broke the obstacle. The fighter flew in like a hurricane, no wonder it sm
- Ready baby? My nerves twitched like guitar strings.- Ready! - a lie, a blatant lie, you can’t be ready for this. The voice on the other end of the wire only evokes anger. Maybe I'll find a way to defeat Casius and not be his prisoner for life. Thoughts of vengeance for Oliver swirl in my head, but who am I kidding, death is a beta choice. It's just that the ancient brought too much evil for its existence, it's time to put an end to its cruel games.- Five kilometers north of your house, there is a road, behind the road there is a large field, a helicopter is waiting there. Smart move. Air transport won't allow traceability.- Okay, I'll be soon.- Clever! I'm waiting. She kept silent about the fact that we know who our guests really are. Let the relatives calmly deal with Demid, and Kasii my problems. A short conversation, but knocked out of strength. I know that our fate will be decided today, who will survive and who will disappear forever. Living with the enemy is wors
*Elian* Not having time to cross the threshold, I felt the presence of that student in the house. His scent called for him, the call resounded in the heart. The blood boiled, rushing through the veins and arteries, suppressing my will and pointing to a place next to this guy. The appearance of the student is innocent and unremarkable, but I perceive it differently. I see someone strong and influential. When Peter's gaze moved to me, his body froze uncontrollably. I am sure that if he gives a command, I will certainly execute it, with any. A voice arose in my head, he whispered that he was obliged to protect the guest. The obvious hostility of the whole family and Brandon is visible to the naked eye. He looked at Melissa, she is carefully watching the guy, on the face of the girl is undisguised hatred. What happened with me? Why is everyone besides me worried? Peter's heartbeat echoes three times in his ears. The faster his pulse, the more nervous I am.- Swear. We will exp
Casius began to search for the hated creature. Only he wasn't very good at it. The smell has changed, only echoes from the vampire half remained.- Are you looking for us Casius? We parted, Brandon walked among us, the rays touched the guy's skin. The lack of burns caused many to withdraw. The semi-vampire carried broken bows in his hands. He approached the originals and threw the tools at their feet.- The ambush in our territory is disarmed and eliminated. Number with poison did not pass. The Lugarus no longer snarled or snarled, the half-vampire effect knocking them off balance. They stare at him as if they were living childhood nightmares. Evelyn pushed back her blond locks and stretched out in a smile, while licking her fangs, that the enemy had no doubt that they were still the same supernatural beings. Demid was dumbfounded. I didn't feel like something was right.- You thought we were so stupid that we did not foresee such a dishonest move on your part? Brendon is bl
The decisive day has come. The day that ends the confrontation between the two wolf species. The centuries-old enmity will either stop completely, or in the event of our defeat, on the contrary, it will give the monsters the opportunity to stop hiding. Losing can have serious consequences that will not allow people to live in peace, everything will get out of control. The victory of the monsters will exalt them in their own eyes, and they will turn the life of absolutely every creature into a nightmare. A great responsibility rests on our shoulders. We realize that we have no right to make a mistake or weakness. Fear is worth hiding deep inside, discarding anxiety and rushing into the attack without unnecessary thoughts in your head, clearing your mind. The blood runs cold at the memory of that dream. Someone will say that there is no war without victims, this is the reality, but I do not agree. For me, every member of the pack, every ally is valuable. And one sacrifice made in
The weather is pretty hot today. The sun doesn't just shine, it burns. Summer is in full swing. If I were in the City of Wolves, I would have put on a bathing suit, I would have settled down on the river bank to sunbathe. But ordinary human needs became alien to me. Remained in the past. As I approached the house, I noticed a familiar figure. Red hair stood out in the open area.- Stop! I screamed. Kyle immediately slowed down. Jumped out of the car. She ran as fast as she could. Why is Brandon in the sun? It will also kill him. When she didn't make it, she stopped in disbelief. The vampire twirls his palms, examining the skin. Not a single burn. Touches his own face. Shock is easy to read in the eyes.- Brandon!- It doesn't hurt me. I only feel warm. She stepped closer and took his hands in hers. Skin color has changed a lot. White, the predominant shade has disappeared. He did not sweat from the heat, the sweat did not come out on his forehead, but a faint blush is visibl
I never woke up in the night in a sweat. The contract concluded with the original is my next loss. Voluntarily surrendered to the clutches of the beast. A toy that has not yet become a toy prefers death. Leaving relatives, you can not turn back. The desire to stay can overpower and then loved ones will suffer. Casius, as I understand it, is indifferent to the upcoming battle, which means he does not intend to climb into the thick of it. He has a plan, because he is sure that he will leave alive. What did you think? She is obliged to help the family win, and then leave with peace of mind. Brandon's confession was a little unsettling. Yes, she chose Eliana, but her heart fluttered at his words. It is hard to refuse the love that he gives. Why are we sometimes so selfish that we can't let go and at the same time reciprocate? She laughed at herself. Regardless of the choice, I do not stay with any of them. Casius deprived me of such a right. The monster will be my life companio
***Brandon*** The meeting with the werewolves went smoothly and without any incidents. Seeing the White Wolf and Alpha with us, no one dared to oppose the decision taken by the chosen ones. And I did not see those who would not want peace. Participating in such a significant event as the unification of species, I feel strange. It seems happy, a friend has achieved what he so desired, but for some reason I feel superfluous and lonely. Unfortunately, vampires will never make peace with wolves. They will not go on about the lower, in their opinion, creatures. From time immemorial, bloodsuckers consider themselves higher beings. These nocturnal predators keep the beast like a pet. They arrange fights for fun or hunting. They are kept like watchdogs. Katherine and Jason until they realize that sooner or later they will have to confront the vampires. The chosen ones are not of those who will allow their own to be mocked. That's when I'll be really useful. And now I'm just support on t
The day started off with a bang. Parents went to talk with werewolves who arrived from different cities of Europe. Elian and Brandon went with them, so that acquaintance with the Slayer pack would be without consequences. In addition, Danna and Anikiy will arrive in the evening. Must be met at the airport. Kyle went hunting. Time to replenish Evelyn's blood supply. He does not yet allow her to hunt herself. She is afraid that suddenly people will appear in the forest, the girl will not be able to overcome the temptation and will commit a murder, which she will later regret. Evelyn, not accustomed to such noise and the presence of so many people in the house, overworked herself and fell asleep again. Here brother and took advantage of the moment. I stand in the middle of my room, staring at my hands, as if hope could awaken a glow. Perhaps fear for Elyan had locked the light deep inside. I don’t feel anything, it’s as if it doesn’t exist in me. The eerie silence is disturbing. I
