2024-10-29 19:42:56The leader nervously shifted his gaze from the wall clock to the door of his study, convulsively checking in his memory to see if he had missed anything. His son is not stupid. Not stupid at all! Who is he trying to underestimate?
The man did not hold back a mean smile, mentally flattering himself - Arthur obviously did not inherit his mind from his mother. All in the father went! And if earlier this fact caused only a feeling of pride, then in the current situation it made the head of the wolf community noticeably tense up.
Leaning his head back on the headrest of the massive leather chair, Arseny exhaled tiredly, glancing briefly at the papers on the desktop, once again concentrating all his attention on the door. Arthur is already here, on the territory, the man, as befits the leader of the pack, immediately felt it, as soon as his son crossed the invisible border. So he'll be here in half an hour at the most. During this time, it would be nice to take on a slightly mournful look, after all, not too good news will have to be voiced by the son. Remembering that due to the reckless decision of his offspring to declare himself a couple with this stupid girl, Arseny had to kill one of the best guards of the pack, the man could not restrain the roar of his beast.
No, well, it had to be thought of! To declare myself a couple with this ... yes, even mentally calling her a she-wolf did not turn her tongue! Weak, and as useless as her whole family! Everyone knows that the strongest children in couples are born first. The second offspring inherit less strength, but the first ones are more or less equal. And she is fifth! Fifth! She and so the whole family - weaklings. Neither parents nor older brothers are wolves, but simply a laughing stock. There is no speed, no strength, instincts ... yes, too, not very developed. You can’t put such wolves on guard, hunters among them are also not very good, to settle conflicts with other packs - and even more so you won’t take it! Ordinary artisans. Repair, patch up, keep a garden - everything. Like wolves, in the truest sense of the word, they do not bring any benefit to the pack. And the girl is the fifth! It's scary to even think about what could have happened. if the leader did not do anything, and Arthur declared the girl his mate. And it was necessary for his son to drag this particular girl into bed! Are there few others? How many times was he offered the daughter of an alpha from the Yaroslavl region? He just turns up his nose! Well, nothing, now he will not have a choice.
The crazy idea that Arthur was so attracted to this girl due to the fact that it could be the Veles Pair - the leader swept aside. No, stupidity creeps into your head! Rare couples God blesses them, but the madness of thought is not in this. In such pairs, the she-wolf is herself an alpha, and can be thrown at will, without being tied to a dagger. The last time this happened was about 500 years ago. More precisely, the man did not remember, but to specifically go and raise the archives would be a waste of time. Well, which of this girl is the alpha?! In her family, all wolves are gray, small - ordinary, in a word. And it's even good that he banished her before the initiation, so Arthur will definitely never find her. Unless, of course, he decides to search, after the leader gives him a slightly corrected version of events.
The man grimaced in disgust, catching himself in a lie. Yes, well ... The version has been completely redone. And it's good that the orders of the alpha are not discussed and are executed unquestioningly, otherwise problems could arise. And so...
Even if Arthur has doubts, he will be able to find out the truth only when he becomes the leader himself. And by that time he will forget about this girl!
- Hello, father! - Lost in his thoughts, the leader missed the approach of his son to the door, and shuddered as soon as he entered the office.
- Artur, - nodding to his son, Arseny pointed to one of the two chairs standing on the other side of the table, - how was the meeting?
Four days ago, having heard from his only son the decision to declare himself a couple with a girl, the leader decided openly against all this, not to speak out. Youth is stupid. And given the character of Arthur, the son would have been smart enough to run away with this girl to spite his father. Therefore, the leader approved his choice, but asked to wait for the initiation of the girl. And he himself was sent to a neighboring pack, with a hastily invented reason - to check the boundaries.
- As I thought - well, - the son answered, making it clear that initially he did not believe his father's doubts about the violation of the boundaries of their community by the Vologda werewolves. - Anton did not resist the check, and in two days we went around the border. As expected, there are no violations.
- Well, - the leader nodded, wondering how best to move on to the topic concerning the girl chosen by Arthur and her "insidious betrayal". Do you remember the story of how I became the leader?
Having considered all the pros and cons, Arseny first decided to refresh his son's memory a little, so that the cover of the expulsion of his pitiful she-wolf would make a proper impression on Arthur. It's a pity that werewolves are not allowed to kill uninitiated wolves - it would be much easier to cut a girl's throat. It would not have been necessary to cover up her expulsion with murder, to force the flock to be silent ... But Veles punished him cruelly and instantly for such a thing - the wolf that killed an uninitiated werewolf died with him. And the leader wanted to live. Highly.
- Of course, - without attaching importance to the question, Arthur, his thoughts were already with his little she-wolf, imagining how she would be delighted with the gift brought to her, but answered his father automatically, hearing this story more than once. - When the previous leader died, leaving no heirs, two claimed the role of head of the community in the pack. You and Stanislav. As a result of the duel for the role of leader, you won, and he went into exile.

Arthur now had absolutely no desire to listen to his father's nostalgia, but he had to show respect for the leader, even though he did his best to leave Arseny's office as quickly as possible. The man knew that his little wolf missed him as much as he missed her.The future leader of the pack barely suppressed a smile. Little green-eyed ... I wonder what kind of wolf she will have? It is clear that it is small, there are no strong wolves in their family. The man was more interested in color. Ash gray, as she herself wanted it, or will there be darker tones in her color? Arthur's beast itself was coal-black, but this privilege of the alphas, he did not count on such a coloring of his pair.It would be faster to pass the time before its initiation! Just a month and a half, and he will declare her his mate! It will be possible to run together through the night forest, releasing their wolves into the wild ...At this thought, the leader's heir's beast growled approvingly. It doesn’t matte

“Anastasia Andreevna, please,” I pleaded, looking at the inflexible boss, “I swear it was the last time!”“I already said everything,” looking from me to the screen of her laptop, a middle-aged woman with a tight bun of black hair on her head adjusted her glasses and waved her hand towards the door. - You can take the calculation and the work book from the personnel department.- But I…- I said everything! - Interrupting my next attempt to justify myself, the boss, apparently already a former one, cast an expectant glance at me from under her brows. - You can go!Mentally swearing, I turned around and left the office, not forgetting to slam the door heartily. It was a shame to lose my job, to the point of tears, but I perfectly understood that it was my own fault. Five late arrivals in two weeks - who needs such an employee? And it's on probation! But I can’t help myself - waking up in the morning to get ready and arrive at work on time has become an impossible task for me. As soon a

The pleading of the unknown martyr drove me crazy, making me cry and scream, it is not clear from what more - from pity for an invisible interlocutor or from a headache.“Sapphire, sapphire, sapphire! Sapphire!"The emotional groan was replaced by a weak growl, and then completely turned into a quiet whine. I began to look around to see if he was imagining me, or somewhere near me I could actually see a whining dog. Although, more like a wolf. It's the wolf! Sapphire wolf...My head was spinning, making it difficult for me to focus on one thing. I only distantly noted that it was already completely dark outside, and the full moon was clearly visible in the sky. Its light, mixed with the light of lanterns, illuminated a small park in front of my house. There was a strange desire to run in it now, quickly moving its paws, pushing off the trunks, while leaving torn claw marks on the bark ... what a strange desire ...His body convulsed, forcing him to arch on the floor and whine plaintiv

“My son is ashamed that he gave in to his beast in primitive instincts and spent the night with you,” our leader told me after being locked up for almost a day. But he is a man, he is allowed to do it. Unlike you. You dishonored your family with your depraved behavior, Vladimir. If by such actions you decided to force Arthur, as a worthy man, to declare you his couple, then you were mistaken. Arthur is not interested in the one-time cheap things that creep under him for a place in the sun. You are not the first, you are not the last. But, unlike the others, you have jeopardized the honor of the entire community, and you have no right to be part of it anymore!The words of the former leader clearly lined up in my memory, as if he had told me all this just a couple of minutes ago. My heart sank painfully at the thought that this might be true. That Arthur really...The roar of the she-wolf that broke into the subconscious brought me back to my senses. She is right! Arthur couldn't do th

We lay like this for a long time, enjoying our unity and the newfound inner harmony. Thoughts flowed lazily in my head, preventing the burden of reality from falling into our small and cozy little world, ruining everything. Now all the stories about the disagreements between the werewolf and his inner beast seemed like empty tales. How can this be? Doesn't fit in the head. Everything is so simple - trust the beast, and he will trust you in return. Or is it just me?Apparently, I am a very specific werewolf. And yes, I have an unusual wolf. Previously, dreaming of going through initiation and finding my beast, I thought that my she-wolf would be the same as everyone else's - small and gray. The only thing I could hope for was that the color of her color would be dominated by lighter ash tones. And that's it! In fact, here's how it turned out. Healthy black wolf. Alpha!Slowly opening my eyes, I emerged from the habitat of the beast, again finding myself sitting on the bed. Well, now yo

Glancing over my shoulder, I bit my lower lip in annoyance. The view of my security guard was just beautiful! The floor covered in long ragged claw marks. The same marks on the walls, accompanied by hanging pieces of wallpaper. A wardrobe smashed to pieces ... Hmm ... And, unlike me, his instincts and scent have long been developed, and it will not be difficult for Oleg to understand that I was a weirdo in the second incarnation.Lowering my head, I silently waited for my verdict. I'm sure he has clear instructions from the leader, just in case I suddenly remember everything. I doubt about the change of hypostasis - after all, I have not heard about alpha girls, nor about the passage of initiation with such a long delay. But what exactly they will do with me - they do not know. Maybe they will kill, or maybe they will erase the memory again.I grimaced at the thought of waking up in the hospital again, remembering nothing. No, it's better to die than to go through this again. The wolf

Contrary to all my reasoning, I went out into the street without incident. Except for the yard cat that slipped through the door of the entrance I opened, which scared me out of my wits and made me squeal. Nerves to hell! Since I still got out of the apartment, I need to go to the pharmacy, buy myself something sedative. Otherwise, it’s not the leader who will kill me, but I myself will bring myself to a heart attack, being afraid of everything around. I wonder if nineteen-year-olds have heart attacks at all? However, I'm a werewolf! Initiated, moreover. My regeneration should be at the level, so you don’t have to worry. Yeah, I can shy away from everything until the end of my life and not worry about the state of the cardiovascular system. What a charm!It didn't take long for me to shop, so about an hour later I was back at my house, loaded down with two heavy packages. Usually I buy products at a minimum, but now the situation is a little different. I wanted to treat myself to deli

Yielding to the persuasion of the she-wolf, I decided to go for a walk in the forest. The risk, I do not argue, is huge, but if you do not go far from some small town or village in the region, then everything can end well. I hope. There were several reasons for panic. Despite the fact that the cities were mostly inhabited by ordinary people, the chance to stumble upon someone from my former community was great. Especially if I'm "lucky" to choose a town for a walk near the habitat of my flock. And I'm afraid, if this happens, my acting skills, so as not to give myself away by recognizing anyone, will not be enough for me.Well, do not forget about Igor and Oleg. Guards are assigned for a reason. And even if they sometimes go about their own business, instead of spying on me, they are still the main problem. Even if I manage to catch a moment when they are not around, I strongly doubt that they will ignore the fact of my long absence.If, before the return of my memory, I wandered arou

“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.

- 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
