Without wasting time on unnecessary reasoning, I scratched my finger with my fingernail and activated one of Anya's amulets that imitated my presence in the apartment, sprinkling it a little with my blood. Now you don't have to worry about the guards - for three days they will be completely sure that I am here. We can only hope that Mitrich just decided to use the phone, and nothing out of the ordinary happened. Hope was fragile, but at least something! I didn't mean to panic. Whatever it is, I have plenty of time to deal with the problem. Beast growled in agreement, habitually listening to her surroundings.It was already dark outside the windows and there were no people walking on the street. Putting on new stiletto boots, and taking a leather jacket and a clutch with documents and a phone just in case, I gently jumped out of the window, landing on the sidewalk near the house. Still, jeans are not suitable for such somersaults, otherwise how to explain the protesting crackle of the
Live with wolves, howl like a wolf,or a little about useful acquaintances.I was sitting on a couch, at the feet of the newly-minted princess, waiting for the moment when she wakes up. Mitrich was bustling about at the stove, preparing us his signature pies, the mere aroma of which made my stomach rumble loudly. The girl's name was Akulina, as the goblin enlightened me, and, judging by her revived emotions, she should just wake up.- Good morning, Akulina, - I greeted the girl, as soon as she opened her eyes. She, in response, was frightened and jumped up on the bed, miraculously not throwing me from her familiar place. - I see you are better now, since you are jumping like that!Goblin was not mistaken - the girl really is. And although at the moment she didn’t smell of anything inhuman, her eyes betrayed her with her head. Like all nagas who are in power and related to the royal family, Akulina's pupil changed color from black to sparkling gold and constantly changed in size, pulsa
“Don’t worry about this,” the goblin waved his hand, “they are people, even though one of them is a former princess.” They weren't worried about you.- And what, that they are people? – sincerely surprised girl. Do you think people don't care about their children?- He meant that the trouble was on them, - I answered for Mitrich, and, seeing her complete misunderstanding, once again I began to explain in more detail. - As soon as an ordinary mortal girl enters the possession of the Nagas in the status of a bride, all her relatives and friends live in a happy delusion that she is somewhere in another city or country, absolutely happy and with a groom, from whom they are usually under the influence trouble, just absolutely delighted!And also this same hassle could be used to hide something from prying eyes. For example, a small community of exiled werewolves. But I didn't say it out loud to her. On it, and so new knowledge is poured in a continuous stream, it does not have time to lear
There will be a wolf at the withers,or a princess at home.Despite all my internal fears, Akulina was almost not nervous. No, the jitters, of course, were present, but nothing more. My companion even seems to have forgotten about her completely unpresentable appearance, looking forward to a conversation with her parents. She was so focused on the questions that interested her that even her hands stopped trembling, which I noticed when Akulina rang the doorbell.- Lina? - The door was opened to us by a spectacular blue-eyed blonde, very frightened, barely looking at the newly-minted princess. “God, what happened?” You should be in England now...Akulina barely spared the girl a look, having experienced such strong contempt that I unconsciously let some of her emotions pass through me. And only thanks to Bestia, and the simultaneous monitoring of the feelings and emotions of the second girl, she was able to emerge from this state.- What's happening?! - The blonde watched in fright as
“I’ll probably leave you,” standing up and listening to the she-wolf’s clues about the blonde’s movements, I smiled at Akulina, “Lina, I’ll be back in the morning, tell me what you decided and where you are staying. Today you don't need my sweet ears and sensitive hearing. Oddly enough, it's safe here. Here, - I took it out of the clutch and put a business card with my phone number on the table, - if anything, call!Without waiting for an answer from them, I quickly left the apartment, and, running out into the street, I managed to intercept Vasilisa, who was really heading home.“You can’t,” I smiled at her, slightly increasing my fangs and clattering my teeth, “mommy and sister haven’t finished yet!”- Crazy! - the blonde snapped at me, but, apparently being impressed by my grin, she did not make any attempts to pass me by.So we stood for several hours, while Bestia listened to what was happening at Akulina's house. I released Vasilisa only when I received information from the she-
My fears that the night outing with Andrey and the corral of Vitka with his passion would drag on until the morning were completely justified! Only with the first rays of the sun we returned home, laughing and exchanging impressions of tricks.He will kill us! - Without hiding a smile, Dyusha delivered a verdict to us, yawning heartily.- Not us, but you! I chuckled, patting him on the shoulder. - It's time for me to move to Akulina.- This is unfair! Peace…I didn’t listen to my brother, moving away from him towards the trees, quickly activating Mitrich’s ring and leaving in the park, almost at the very house of the newly-minted princess.- And life in general is an unfair thing, - she giggled under her breath, heading towards the front door I needed.Andrey could be understood - we teased Vitka so much that he chased us for half the night not with the aim of offering to run a race! And he found something to be angry about! Just think, the she-wolf, secluded with him, was very fright
- What do you think? I answered her just as quietly.The transition to the lower world itself was not marked by anything. Just literally a few meters away from us, the forest from autumn daytime and sunny turned into summer and night.- Fuck off! Akulina exhaled, getting up from the ground, and turning her head, looking either at the Moon, visible beyond the transition line in the underworld, or at our bright sun. Do we just have to go there?I only nodded in response, turning to Vasilisa to ask her to come closer to us. I did not really want to take risks, and according to the plan, it would be better for us to make the transition all together, at the same time. But the girl's emotions puzzled me a lot. She looked at us absently, feeling only incomprehension. Even the feeling of guilt that was always with her receded into the background, becoming almost imperceptible. As well as a sense of shame in front of his sister.- Where to go? Vasilisa puzzled me. - What are you about?- What
- No, - I shrugged my shoulders, for a moment, feeling myself again standing in the leader's office when he scolded me, - after spending the night with him, I never saw him again. Then the head of the clan spoke on his behalf, alpha - his father. That he is ashamed, that he succumbed to the provocation, that I disgraced my family, that I no longer deserve the right to be part of the clan ... Yes, he said a lot of things, it’s still disgusting to remember!- Strange ... - Akulina drawled, biting her lip thoughtfully.- What exactly?- His father spoke on his behalf. Could this be all a hoax? Well, you didn’t suit the leader, like a couple for your son, so you got rid of it, - the girl emotionally waved her hand. “But his son didn’t know about it, they made up a different version for him.“At first I thought so too, when my memory returned,” I smiled at her version, remembering with what blind recklessness I myself believed in it. - But you see, what's the catch - all the exiled werewol
“Hi, my personal wolfdog!I am sincerely happy for you, and for your Arthur! Although, still a little shocked by everything his father did. The main thing is that everything was resolved for you in the best possible way! Yes, and your sister is good, you won’t say anything, she didn’t go far from mine. By the way, Vasilisa, like your Barbara, apologized to me. I didn’t personally approach, like yours, but wrote a very strange letter, but we’ll talk about this sometime when we meet! If they let me out of here...Basilesk keeps shaking over me, like over a crystal vase, despite all my objections! And you know what? It seems like I'm starting to like it! Especially when he does not go too far. His last bzik is called: "Protect your wife from bad news!". And given that he now considers everything bad from a creaking door (which will suddenly disturb my sleep!) To too hot tea (I can get burned!), Now I live as if in a sugary vanilla world ... I’m wondering, but if I will ask for sunlight,
- Now! Varvara grinned at me in the face and went to the exit.Right now, right now, I don't really care when I beat her. But he won’t dare to climb into our pair anymore. I was about to follow when I was intercepted by Arthur.- Why? he whispered, and looking into his eyes full of despair and fear, I felt a little uneasy. He does not know that I have Bestia, and that nothing threatens me.“Everything will be fine,” I whispered, cupping his face in my hands, “trust me.”His fear did not go away, and I felt ashamed that I had dragged out the confession for so long. On the other hand, he had ten minutes left to worry, no more, then there would be a fight, and he himself would see everything. The main thing is not to rush to defend me, spitting on all the rules of the wolfs.“Follow him,” I asked Stas as I passed by, shaking my head at Arthur.- He does not know?- Not.After waiting for a nod from Stas, and seeing how he equals Arthur and reminds him not to interfere, I calmed down.Why
A wolf was born, a sheep cannot be,or each in his place.I woke up from the sound of a loudly slamming door, and at first I was confused, diligently trying to get out from under the blanket covering me with my head. The room was dim, from which I detachedly concluded that it was still early morning. The question, why the hell did someone decide to slam the door to my room so early, got stuck in my throat, as I saw Arthur lying next to me, and the events of the past night quickly surfaced in my memory, driving away all my drowsiness.- Good morning, - noticing that I woke up, my beloved smiled at me, hugging and pulling me to him.- Something happened? - I did not hide the bewildered look of the leader, with which he bored the door, before looking at me.- Stas came, - kissing my nose, Arthur reluctantly continued, - you know, he seems to be angry.I was silent, waiting to hear the continuation, but my leader was clearly not going to continue the conversation, thoughtfully fingering t
- At the expense of the forest, - lifting my chin with his hand, he forced me to look into his eyes. - In my opinion, it was wrong to take advantage of the situation. There, you were the Mira who loved me with all her heart. And here - hating, as I thought, Vladimira. I was afraid that if I give vent to feelings, then waking up, you will hate me even more. That's what I meant then.- And Barbara? - I felt that he was not lying to me, but I did not understand why at that moment he did not think about my sister.We are alphas. And we can’t trade because the inner beast simply won’t allow us to do this. And since Arthur was with her, it could not have meant nothing to him. The stupid thought that, why, if Varya is so important to him, he easily spent the night with me, I pushed aside, referring to the echoes of the former affection.- Of course, I am extremely pleased that you are jealous of me ...“I’m not jealous,” I interrupted the man, but he only smiled back.This means that all is
To be afraid of a wolf - and to run away from a squirrel,or fears and misunderstandings.Three long days have passed since my dream with Arthur. The parasite was indeed destroyed, which I confirmed with the help of Mitrich by visiting him the next morning. It was wonderful! Just great! After all, now I could sleep alone again without fear of not waking up in the morning. I could have, but I didn't sleep. Now I'm starting to suffer from insomnia.Anya, seeing my torment, did not ambiguously hint at the need to talk to Arthur and stop torturing myself. For her, everything was simple and obvious. I just thought differently. The beast rolled her eyes and pretended to faint as she listened to my thoughts. It is easy for them to reason: go and talk! What should I tell him? Or rather, what will happen to me if he answers not what I want to hear?! My doubts about the words he said in a dream were very justified. In my opinion.It's good that Stas and Dyusha did not notice my mental throwing
His lips covered mine, furiously crushing them in a passionate kiss. I tried to answer him with all possible dedication, to show how much I love him, and that I did not doubt him for a second!- Vladimira, - the kiss ended as suddenly as it began, and the cold, squeamish tone of his voice caused me a new wave of panic, - a naive girl! Did you really think that I came to save you?His words made me break out in a cold sweat, but I didn’t have time to react at least somehow. As if out of nowhere, a huge black wolf swooped down on Arthur, knocking him to the ground! What happened next left me frozen in place in horror. Arthur's features sharpened and began to change rapidly until they turned into a completely healthy black creature with huge claws and red eye sockets on his face. The creature consisted, as if from patches of black fog, which were furious, torn by the wolf that came to my aid. A few minutes later, the monster was defeated, and in place of the wolf, Arthur, breathing heavi
The wolf will not crush the tail of the wolf,or return to the past for an hour.I sat like this until the evening, ignoring persistent knocks on the door. I felt Anya and Andrey's return home, but I didn't want to go out. After all, Arthur and Alice were also below. Bestia and I couldn't help noticing them either. Even though I really wanted to. But I couldn’t help but go out for dinner - the leader’s direct order cannot be ignored. Namely, Stas was for me. I didn't swear an oath to anyone else.- Obscurantism! I swore through my teeth, realizing that it was time to go downstairs, despite my desperate desire to stay in the room. One. Perhaps forever.But there was a plus in this situation! Beastia did not like to carry out the order, although it did not go against her desires. Therefore, today she promised me not to provoke me for her part into actions against Arthur. And thanks for that!Leaving the room, I almost cursed out loud again, as Arthur was standing opposite my door, propp
- Yes, we are not together! Unable to stand it, I raised my voice.Everything that was happening was starting to frankly strain! Alice's stubbornness got on my nerves no worse than Beast, in those moments when she tried to provoke me into unacceptable acts. But, praise the Gods, the she-wolf was now completely absorbed in our conversation with Dyushina's chosen one, and so far left her plans for rapprochement with Arthur. I hope that for good!- You sleep with him! the girl blurted out, also raising her voice. Or are you going to deny that too?Well, now it’s clear who Bestia and I smelled in our bedroom in the morning! Alice came, apparently decided to talk to me about Andrei, but she saw us sleeping in an embrace! That's just interpreted everything is fundamentally wrong!- I won't! I dismissed her argument. “It doesn't mean anything at all. Yes, and I sleep not only with him! Seeing her astonishment, and thinking about the words she had just spoken aloud, and how she could understa
One wolf drives a regiment of sheep,or strange accidents.The morning was strange. I woke up as if from a shock, but I could not determine the cause of my excitement. Somehow getting out of the arms of Andrey, who, during our overnight stays, has recently gotten into the habit of using me instead of a pillow, and, having examined the bedroom, I did not find anything suspicious. Typical early morning. There were no strangers in the room ... or were there? The Bestia, who woke up inside me, caught someone else, but she couldn’t say who exactly. Someone opened our door! And it was definitely not Stas and Anya. Walking to the exit of the room into the corridor and sniffing, I caught the smell. Weak werewolf, girl. We could not determine more with the she-wolf, since an unknown person came to us about an hour ago. And who came to visit us? And most importantly - why?Having come to the conclusion that, most likely, it was one of the outcasts (after all, the local residents of the communit
