There was a time outside when it was not yet morning, but it was no longer night either.

Jack still held Amy's arm as he led her out of the house. The four of them - he, Amy, Mike and Nick - walked through the yard, heading for the Gelendvagen, which was parked outside the gates of her house.

Black, powerful, daring - he completely suited his owner - Jack.

“So,” Jack said, turning the girl to face him, “now you calmly get into the car and don’t utter a sound, otherwise you know what awaits you.”

Emily just nodded in response. She did not want to talk at all, and there was no point in it: no one would listen to her anyway.

The girl was put in the back seat, Mike sat next to her, Nick sat in the front passenger seat, and Jack drove. As soon as they were all inside, Jack immediately pulled away, causing Amy to scream. The men just chuckled.

Gelendvagen raced through the still sleeping night city at breakneck speed. Behind the glass of the car, everything blurred, preventing the girl from concentrating on the route. Emily only realized that they would soon be out of town.

Where is she being taken? Jack said they were going back to the lair. But where is it? Ten minutes later, the car had already left the city limits and raced along a deserted road towards the forest. Before him, the girl knew this for sure, they would not meet a single house, because there is no residential area there. Do these strange men live in the forest? Hmm, well, yes, it would not be surprising, because they are animals.

Jack's voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

- Mike, you know what to do. At the same time, she will rest.

Mike just nodded in response.

What Jack was talking about, Amy did not understand, but she felt Mike's fingers on her neck, which pressed somewhere, and turned off.

"Jack," Mike turned to him, "are you 100% sure it's her?"

The man was driving confidently. The speed was simply prohibitive, but no one was afraid that they would break. Everyone was confident in their leader: in reaction (he was very fast), in strength (no one from the clan could compete with him), in intelligence (if he weren’t smart, he wouldn’t be able to hold back the pack for so many years: neither more nor less , over a century). Yes, they believed him and obeyed implicitly.

Jack looked in the rearview mirror and nodded as he said,

- Yes, Mike, I'm absolutely sure. The only negative is that it has not been initiated yet.

- On the one hand, this is bad: she will be hurt during the initiation; but on the other hand, it’s good that she doesn’t know anything. If she had been initiated, we would have had a hard time.

- Yes, if she were already like that, it’s not a fact that we would have coped with her. Well, physically we are stronger, but…” Jack trailed off, staring at the road.

Nobody said another word. They all knew what would happen then.

- Jack! Nick turned to the man.

He just looked inquiringly at the guy and again turned his gaze to the road.

- Jack, sunrise. He...

The guy lost his head and shuddered all over.

The leader looked up at the sky.

It was already beginning to dawn outside, and the sun was coming out from behind the horizon, painting it crimson.

Jake slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a halt, panting heavily. His breathing was uneven and hoarse, it began to burn unbearably in his chest, as if burning through all the insides from the inside. He fell out of the car and fell to the ground. A large trembling shook him, involuntarily transforming his body; A growl of pain erupted from his throat. The joints began to turn inside out, which brought hellish torment, bones crunched in several places, saying that they were breaking. Long claws appeared on the hands, which ripped open the earth's firmament, leaving deep furrows on it. The pain is hellish, excruciating, debilitating, preventing you from taking a breath to relieve the burning sensation in your chest. Bad, very bad!

Mike and Nick understood what was happening to their leader. No, it wasn't the sun that affected him that much, because he's not some kind of vampire that Bram Stoker invented. Vampires are fiction and nothing more. No, it was much more difficult here.

According to their beliefs, legends and past events that took place, the crimson sunrise meant only one thing: wolf blood was shed that night. And, judging by the reaction of their leader, it was the blood of someone who was part of their narrow circle, someone who was close to power and connected with him by blood ties. And it could only be one wolf - Jeremy, Jack's brother. Brother.

And he could only be killed by someone who had not been heard of for over a century.

The men looked at the torments of their leader and could do nothing to help him: neither stop nor alleviate his suffering. And all this was very painful and hard for them to watch. And from the realization that their clan was orphaned by another wolf, it became completely uncomfortable, and from this they both wanted to howl, releasing their inner beast! But you can't! Not now! Later, when they are in the lair. There they will be able to mourn their relative!

Jack was still lying on the ground, moaning softly - the pain was no longer so strong and burning. She started letting go. After about fifteen minutes, the man was already able to breathe in the air with a full chest, and this brought tangible relief. The bones began to fuse together, and his partial transformation into a beast stopped, and he returned to his human form again. Ten minutes later he was able to sit up.

The man looked at the guys who were watching him closely, but did not make any attempt to help him. Yes, they knew that their help is now useless, so they did not interfere. Jack's vision was still a little hazy, but his sanity had returned. And he said:

- Jeremy! - the voice, deaf and hoarse, was filled with indescribable pain. - He is back. After so many years, he's back! And he killed my brother!

The man somehow got up and, climbing into the car, put his head on the steering wheel.

"Jack," Mike turned to him. - How are you?

The leader just chuckled and said:

- You have a strange question, Mike. It was possible not to ask. It sucks for me, it really sucks. I lost a piece of myself! The one about whom all his life he cared and protected. And at that moment, when we had a chance to fix our miserable existence, someone appeared who we did not expect at all! Yes, let him die! Creature! Hate him! And as soon as I meet - I will kill!

Mike and Nick looked at each other knowingly, but said nothing.

- And now both are alive in the car, we are already quite late.

“Maybe I’d better get behind the wheel, and you get some rest?” Mike asked him.

- I! Said! Alive! In the car! - Minting every word, Jack growled, and claws reappeared on his hands, saying that he was on the verge of a breakdown.

The men shuddered and immediately obeyed, because they knew what would happen if their leader lost his temper. No one will be fine!

As soon as everyone was in the car, Gelendvagen pulled off and rushed to their lair. There, where with hope for the future, a flock was waiting for them.

    Houses, only houses around - old, abandoned, many entwined with ivy, overgrown with moss; around the houses everything is overgrown with weeds, so much so that you simply cannot get through it.And John was drawn to one of those houses.Strange, but he had not experienced such sensations for a long time. For a long time he did not want to do something in spite of everything. In his mind, he knew perfectly well that in the house to which he was heading, there would hardly be anything worth his attention. Black is unlikely to find anything: a clue, at least some, to say nothing of the evidence!Five minutes later he was already standing at the building he needed. An old house, abandoned, dilapidated, with broken windows, rickety shutters, a leaky roof and a broken chimney. The dwelling in which people once lived, looked after this structure, was now absolutely unsuitable for life. What could have happened here that made people leave this house? And in general, all the houses in the dist

Come on, partner, come on.John groaned slightly and opened his eyes."Steve," he said softly.“Well, thank God, you woke up,” Cole breathed with relief, helping his partner to rise and seating him so that his back could lean against the wall.What happened here, Black? Steve asked.But instead of answering, John asked:- Give me a cigarette.His voice was hoarse and his breathing heavy.But you don't smoke! - John's partner was surprised at such a request.- And I don't get punched in the ribs every day. And even more so, I don’t remember that at least someone broke them for me."Yeah, that's true too," Cole replied, pulling a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket. - Hold on.John tried to grab the pack to get a cigarette, but one wrong move and his side burned with pain."Steve, maybe..." He nodded at the pack.Yes, it's probably better for

Now to understand more, how it happened to him?Black got out of bed and stretched his whole body, checking if there were traces of that terrible pain that he experienced not so long ago.

    John was enveloped in pitch darkness, not allowing him to see anything around him. But this darkness lasted until, for just a fraction of a second, he closed his eyes and said:- As'sha! - "I see!"And in an instant, everything around acquired shape, color and even smell.A spacious room, in which there was nothing but a very ancient altar that was split into two parts. Not very high ceilings with rotting beams, but stone props.There was no electricity in the room. At all. No light, not even candles! Everything was plunged into darkness.But not for someone who was a Hunter. After all, the Gift that he received at the initiation, and the knowledge of the Alrian language allowed him to see in the darkness.And now Black saw in front of him an elderly man who, by ordinary human standards, could have been eighty years old, but in fact he was already well over a thousand years old!

    Present tense.Dream. Such a welcome, serene, giving rest. Emily slept in Jack's car. How long the journey from her house to the lair of these, so to speak, people, Amy did not know. But when they arrived, Mike must have woken her up.Mike - a handsome and tall blond with incredibly green eyes - was in no way inferior to Jack, his leader, in height, as well as in size.Yes, Mike is very handsome! A high forehead, beautiful, slightly almond-shaped eyes, a nose with a small hump, involuntarily eye-catching lips, clearly defined cheekbones, a strong neck, shoulders in this ashen-colored T-shirt, torso ... Oh-oh-oh, yes! This is the type of man who just wants to admire. Okay, dog!And why did Amy think it was Mike who woke her up? It's unclear, but... The girl woke up not in the car, as she expected, but...It was a room! And she was not that big, she was just huge! High ceilings: at least four meters high, with mirror reflections. Walls with dark green wallpaper and incomprehensible patt

    - Yes, if I knew! The hunter doesn't talk to the wolves, he just attacks and kills. No questions, no pity. And sometimes cruel! Very cruel. And now he's killed my brother Jeremy. And of the true wolves in our clan, I was left alone. I have no one who, after my death, would take the place of the leader. Now there is no. And I need an heir. Highly!And he looked straight at Amy.From his predatory, piercing look, she felt uneasy, and a shiver ran through her body, from which everything inside froze with fear.- Why are you looking at me like that?- As? The man smiled, showing a snow-white smile.- I don't know... Well, like this, carnivorous.“More like anticipation, my girl.- What are you trying to say? - his girlfriend asked warily, making an attempt to move away from him, but Jack did not let her do this, catching her by the wrist and pulling her closer.- I'm waiting for you to be mine!- Yours?

    Jack sat up in his chair, still looking incredulously at Jeremy. How could this happen? Why? Jack couldn't understand."So what's the matter?" Jeremy said with a cheerful smile. - What kind of faces of surprise?- Jer, is that really you? - incredulously looking at his brother, the leader asked.- Ha, well, you give, Jack! You don't seem to be drinking alcohol! Or did something change a lot while I was away?The smile never left Jeremy's face. He walked across the office and sat on the edge of the table, crossing his legs and crossing his arms over his chest.- Or are you blind, Jack? Can't you see that your brother is sitting in front of you?Mike and Nick sat in silence, watching the leader's brother. They, like Jack, could not believe that Jeremy was alive and completely healthy in front of them.- Why are you alive? - Jack asked, raising his voice and point-blank looking at his brother.- So, I don't understand, - the smile slowly faded from Jeremy's handsome face. - What are you

    Twenty years laterGirls, stop arguing! John said sternly, wearily rubbing his face with his hands. - Well, what the hell does it matter which dress you wear? You still look the same! And your dresses are the same.- What-o-o? the twins yelled in unison, looking sternly at their father. - What are you saying? Yes, they are completely different, don't you see?- Well, of course ... - John muttered, looking at absolutely identical dresses.- Dad, - Lily, one of the twins, approached the man, - dad, well, they are completely different.

So, daddy, they're different.- Lord, girls, do you care? - John sat down on one of the chairs in the sisters' room and stared sadly at these unfortunate dresses, because of which his little ones were cursing.“Ha, yes, little ones, how come,” he thought, looking l

    Eight months later.“Well, honey, I want to,” Emily puffed out her lips capriciously, pretending to whine, sitting on a soft sofa in Stephen Cole's living room.- What exactly? Jonathan asked, rubbing his temples wearily.- Fish! Salted... No, smoked... no, fried or... cured? I don't know, but I really want to!- My dear, my dear, the only one, my beloved, well, where can I get it for you now?- I don't know, go to the store! - the girl continued to whine, releasing a mean tear to heighten the effect.- Is it at three o'clock in the morning? But saffron, they are already all closed! Maybe tomorrow? John asked hopefully."I knew you didn't love me!" - Pouting like a hamster on a rump, Amy was offended and defiantly turned away from the man.- I love it, I love it...- What's going on here? a sleepy Steve asked as he stepped out of his bedroom, rubbing his eye with one hand and scratching his stomach with the other. - Why don't you sleep?

    At my last words, he grimaced as if he had sniffed a cork from vinegar: a nasty and pungent smell, by the way.- You are not my bride, but just another slave, like many in the palace, and the hair that betrays your new status is ... - he thought for a while. - Well, this is not a problem, now I will correct this misunderstanding.And I didn’t have time to blurt out something, as it was ... this scarecrow is underdeveloped, waved its arms a couple of times, and ...

    - Who-who? - I did not understand, staring dumbfounded at Tanu.To be honest, it was very difficult for me now to realize that because of my act such a terrible incident could happen as the actual complete destruction of the Reception Hall of the eskh."Zarda, Irina," the varla began to explain. - These are worm-like creatures that live in the western part of the Dark World, which spit paralyzing poison in order to immobilize their victim, and then, while he is still alive, devour him. Vile, I tell you, creatures. So, our unshakable Keira is the most natural zard! Ooh, I can't stand her.Then, giggling again, she said:- Oh, how Oher got her in line this morning! It was a pleasure to watch. (I listened with genuine interest to Tanu without interrupting her) He said that if she caught his eye in the next ten days, he would sell her in the slave market to the Arahsshar Demons, with whom Dakhar had some kind of agreement. I can’t say for sure, but it seems that they have a non-aggression

    Reality slowly tried to break through the gray veil that bound my mind. The eyes are closed, the heart beats evenly, the breathing is quiet and calm... the bed is soft... So, stop! What the hell is a bed? Am I alive?She immediately opened her eyes to close them immediately from the bright light that struck with such force that it hurt. Where did such a bright light come from in my room? Little by little, I began to open my eyes, so that they would at least get used to the bright light.Yes, I actually was in my room, but as it turned out, there was practically no light in it, for example, a dim flickering of a magical light of light blue color right under the ceiling. Then it is not clear why it seemed to me that the room was illuminated with an incredibly bright, blinding light, from which it became so painful? Dont clear.She tried to sit up on the bed, but her body refused to obey: her arms and legs, as if chained to the bed by invisible threads, did not want to move; his throat w

    Without saying a word, I took the mug from the table, but before I had time to take a couple of sips, the one I hated so much, Dakhar, entered the room. Varla immediately disappeared, leaving Oher and me alone."Get up," he commanded forcefully.But I did not budge, continuing to sit on the floor with a mug of tea in my hands. Oher frowned, and I felt how the body, against my will, begins to obey the order of this man, rising up. "Acts again," I thought angrily, noting that the mug, hands that did not obey me, had been placed on the table.Dakhar crossed the room in a couple of steps and came close to me:- I'm starting to get the feeling that you like it when I influence you through the artifact.He swept my figure with a look filled with predatory fire, looked into the neckline of the dress and ran his hand over the bare part of my chest, thereby causing me a nervous tremor and disgust. Walking around me and standing behind me, he bent to my ear and asked in a penetrating whisper:“

    - How do you know?- Yesterday, after Dakhar visited you, I decided to have a serious talk with him and find out what happened. So, Irina, he told me about what happened after all. Entertaining, I tell you, we had a conversation.I silently looked at this woman, trying to understand what she wants to convey to me, meanwhile Daara continued:- Your father, as I understood his son, did not fulfill the contract that he concluded with Dakhar. What their agreement was, he did not tell me, alas, as I did not try to find out from him. So, by violating it, your father thereby aroused the wrath of his Oher, and my son decided to punish the Prince, - I looked at Daara in bewilderment, and she immediately explained: - Irina, your father is the Prince of the Snow Demon clan of the Virse'Diar Empire , which is one of the strongest clans in our world. Your mother is the daughter and, accordingly, the heiress of the Water Demon Prince in the Sii'ess'Sar Empire, which is located in the southern part

    Dakhar got up from my bed and went to the exit, but at the very door he turned around and said:- Tonight you can sleep peacefully, but tomorrow, Irina, you will find yourself in MY bed, from which I am unlikely to let you out soon.And, glancing at me with his eyes full of pleasant anticipation, he left the room."That's it, Irina, now you seem to be stuck in the most do not play around!" I thought, clutching the pillow tighter in my hands, causing it to crack at the seams.I sat staring at one point, not wanting to realize that I might soon have to become a bed warmer for Dakhar. But I dont want! Don't want! Moreover, I have never had a man! And my first, most intimate time was to happen with a person whom I would love, but not with Dakhar, but not with him!I felt a chill creep through me, my fingers and toes froze, but my palms, for some reason sweating, became wet.I felt how fear took possession of my heart, slowly but surely shackling it into an ice crust, which made it even mo

    “Master,” a middle-aged man with fire-red hair and dark brown eyes turned to Victor.Victor was sitting in his office in the leather chair of the director of the "Aikhire" company, looking straight ahead and not reacting at all to extraneous sounds."Mr. Victairion," he turned to the man again."I'm listening to you, Gaiho," Vic said wearily, looking up at his assistant.“Sir, as you ordered, I gathered everyone who still had a bit of magic left in them. Now they, all forty demons of the Dark World, are waiting for you in a large meeting room.- Okay, I'll be right there.Victor sighed wearily and rose from his chair, walking around the T-table he usually worked at, but not today, not now. All his thoughts were occupied by Elena - the one that has always been his second half of the soul, the love of his entire centuries-old life.But their love was always forbidden, because Vic and Elena were too different. Too much. After all, he is the Prince of the Snow Demon, the ruler of the Nort
