- 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
The day began as before. Fees for classes and a quick light breakfast. The only and most prominent change, two friends are bodyguards. The week passed quietly, for a moment it even seemed that life was returning to its usual course. The weather allows friends to share responsibilities. One, like a silent shadow, without attracting attention, follows me on the heels. Brandon manages to go unnoticed among hundreds of people, only super vision helps to notice the red hair nearby. Even being at a lecture, I know that he is near. If all vampires are capable of this, it's no surprise that creatures so ancient were able to remain in the shadows for centuries. It's scary to think what the war with them will lead to. Elian is more involved with the pack. Rarely change places. As I understand it, the Slayer pack respects the vampire and, in the absence of a leader, obey his orders. They have no division by type, everyone is equal. The longer I am around, the more I am convinced of their uniqu
- Yes, we are connected not only by friendship. We have been together for over seventy years. She didn't ask about Hannah. But Brandon himself told. He began with the conversion of his own grandfather and ended with the death of his girlfriend. An unpleasant feeling rose from somewhere deep inside, gnawed like a worm. I did not like this feeling, but it overcame me against my will. Is it jealousy? There was no need to tell further, the rest is known from Elyan. Both lost a lot, went through a lot and experienced a lot. Nothing can break their bond. In the conversation, they did not notice how a couple of hours flew by. True, the anxiety did not let go. I feel helpless. Daughter of the elect, and I sit idly by. I won't be able to do this for long. Not the type to hide in corners. In the City of Wolves it was simpler, everything is familiar, monotonous, there are no enemies and the borders guarded by werewolves are closed from what is happening in the world. The planet is huge,
- Come in! Elian sat on the bed with his feet on the floor. Elbows rested on knees. Heavy breathing is an indicator of how difficult it is for him.- I brought you food. He grimaced.- It is unlikely that a piece will climb into the throat.- It's broth and baked meat. Light food. The Slayer did not turn his head towards me, his painful state began to frighten, more than before. From the blood on the bandages, it is easy to understand that the wounds have not healed. It will probably take longer than we thought.- You eat for now, and I will bring a first-aid kit, change the dressings. He looked down at his stomach and smiled bitterly. She did not return immediately, gave Elyan the opportunity to eat, but she wasted time, he did not touch the food.- You haven't eaten.- Don't want.Don't act like a petulant little child. - began to swear. Lugaru narrowed his beautiful gray eyes, but still reached for the spoon. I didn’t notice much pleasure on my face, though what is more i
- An unscrupulous girl. Did you see what time it is?- Uncle Neville.- OK OK. What do you want?We've got a little problem here. began cautiously.- Wow little. Poison is no joke to you.- So you know everything?- There was a vision yesterday. Hunters don't waste time. - the shaman is surprisingly calm.What do you think the poison is? What can harm wolves so much?- There are assumptions, but I'm not sure exactly. Only a few plants can affect you this way. It's just that every impact is different. What are the symptoms?- Blackness on the edges of the wound, weakness and complete lack of healing, if the cut is not thoroughly washed. One wound had to be treated twice, it was very festering.The silence on the phone was a little unnerving, but she patiently waited, a lot depends on the answer.- I need time. I'll look in the books. If I can't find it, I'll use Danna.- Better not. I don't want my mom to know.- Don't worry, I'll figure it out.- Thank you!- Take care. Someone is wal
(Brandon)Where is the lecturer taking Melissa? I hear what counts for passes. But why do it outside the university?Unable to cross the threshold of the educational institution, he froze at the door. The weather does not allow us to follow them. The perfect predator is absolutely helpless in front of the sun.The only way out is through the back door. But I have to make a circle, and I'm afraid to lose time, which in our supernatural world is an unaffordable luxury. It's just that there is more shadow on the other side, it's worth a try. My intuition is inferior to that of a wolf, but this does not prevent me from feeling something was wrong. The strange behavior of the lecturer is visible to the naked eye.Still got out on the street. In quick jerks, he covered a considerable distance from the main campus. It remains to trace the smell. But how to do it while sitting in the car? Based on my sense of smell, they must have passed on the sunny side. It seems that the lecturer knows how
- Never do that again. I am not worthy of sacrifice.- With you a tidy sum. He nodded. The sorcerer left the room, leaving us alone. He squeezed her hand, trying to warm the pale cold fingers. But then the realization came, I can’t, a block of ice is not able to give heat. He took the blanket from the chair and covered Melissa. After some time, a blush began to appear on the face. The blood has completely stopped and the heartbeat is clearly audible. Why did she do this? Giving up your life for a vampire is wrong. Looking at beautiful features. I know them by heart, drawn in memory, and maybe in my heart. What do I feel for her? I will give my life without hesitation, there was not a shadow of doubt in my head. Melissa's life is more precious and not because she is the daughter of the elect, the girl is valuable to me. And I almost lost her, almost witnessed her death. For the first time in years, I felt truly alive. With the advent of the she-wolf, I began to feel how sadness
Wandering in pitch darkness is useless. You can’t feel anything by touch, because there is emptiness around. Frightening and bottomless. How to escape from captivity? Get out into the world? All of a sudden, my light went out. But I'm still wandering in the dark, looking for a way out, which means I'm alive. You just need to try, invest the remaining forces and go free. The only way is to turn to the radiance within yourself. Is she the only one who can deal with it? It is stronger and more dangerous than me. I am obliged, a lot depends on my decisions. Flickering specks of light appeared in the impenetrable darkness, small but bright. And gradually the darkness began to recede. She continued to struggle with her tenacious paws outstretched, but in spite of this, I followed the flicker. There was a feeling of true freedom, fear disappeared. My steps have gained confidence. She touched every speck of light with her hands and felt the warmth gently spread through her fingers througho
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
