On the trail of the wolf 26
Having reached the bed that was torn apart in places (yes, I didn’t replace it either, deciding that it would do anyway!), I undressed and fell asleep almost immediately, as soon as my head touched the pillow. But my serenity in the arms of sleep did not last long.***I was almost eighteen again. Long blond hair was loose and, obeying the gusts of wind, it was either thrown behind my back, or tried to cover my face. My bare feet froze to such an extent that I had long ceased to feel them, and I would certainly have fallen, stretched out on a wooden platform, to the delight of the assembled wolf-dogs, if not for a strong rope that securely held me close to the post in the communal square.The leader was saying something to the assembled werewolves, periodically pointing at me, but I did not hear a word because of the fear that seized me. There was only a frantic pounding of my heart in my ears, which, it would seem, would jump out of my chest a little more.Where is Arthur? Where?! Wh

Anya looked at me very strangely, not knowing what to answer. She didn't have to invent anything, as happy, like elephants, alphas entered the kitchen. I absolutely did not want to talk about this topic in front of Stas and Andrey. As with Vitka. Apparently the witch understood something, because by her gaze in my direction, I clearly read that we would talk later. Well, I'm more than satisfied with that.- Oh, Miryonysh! - Vitya patted me on the head, sitting down on a nearby chair. - Andrey told about the support of snakes - it's cool!- Did you doubt me?- What are you, baby, not in life! - making frightened eyes, whispered Vitka to me, smiling dazzlingly.I just laughed, looking at Andrew. Dyusha just waved his hand at me, turning all his attention to food.- How long have you been here? - Kissing his wife on the cheek, Stas asked me.- No, not really, - pushing my plate to Anya, laying out their portions for everyone, I smiled, - I would have come earlier, I would definitely have

- You have dishonored your family, Vladimir. You have dishonored our pack and community. So unworthy as you are not a place among us! And from this day on, you have no right to be here! - every word of Arseny fell into my soul like a stone, making me suffocate, as if from lack of air. “My son is very ashamed that he succumbed to your provocation and took possession of you. But he is a man, with his own needs, and he can be understood! But you are something else! You behaved like a rootless bitch, showing him your charms, provoking him to action! This is not worthy of the woman of our flock! No self-respecting female in our community would ever stoop to that! You are not a couple for Arthur, you never were and never will be! Today, before the inhabitants of our community, you will be cast out in disgrace, you little whore!With these words, he hit me in the face with his palm with such force that, unable to stay on my feet, I fell to the floor. I was shaking from pain, resentment, cold
On the trail of the wolf 29
- Hello, Mitrich! - I greeted the owner of the house and the forest, who habitually swarming in the kitchen, laying out dried herbs in clay pots.- And you do not get sick, Vladi ... - raising his head and looking at me, the goblin stopped short.Even stopped smiling, scowling and intently examining me.- Mitrich, what are you doing?“Sit down,” instead of answering, he pointed to one of the stools with his hand.I did not argue with the serious goblin, dutifully fulfilling the requirement.- So, so, - moving his hands over my head, Mitrich frowned more and more, - so ...I was silent, afraid of unnecessary questions to bring down his magic. After all, this is exactly what he was doing now - with the help of the forces of the forest he looked at me. Well, or looking for something in me. Conjured, in a word."Do you even know what's wrong with you?" - Having finished the manipulations, Mitrich sat down next to me, taking cups and brewed herbal tea out of the air.Once I decided to trea

- I'll jump.Taking a step back, I released Bestia to freedom, and a second later, a she-wolf as black as night itself stood in my place. Akulina obviously did not expect this, and nervously shied to the side, leaning her back against the door.- You should be warned! - she expressed her indignation to me, trying to calm down, and at the same time, examining my second hypostasis with interest.Of course, Bestia and I flattered her admiring emotions, but we didn’t want to waste time in vain. I had to growl a little and point the princess at the door with her paw.- Yes, I went, I went! Lina rolled her eyes as she left the room.Before she had time to close the door behind her, a new ditty spread around the district: “And just touch us - we are burning like wow!We are now boiling in the lake, we don’t want to hug them!”Standing up on my hind legs, I looked sadly at the croaking mermaids. Hmm! Svyatoslav was right, I didn’t think something when I suggested Akulina to sing songs in ord

The wolf is not a shepherd, the goat is not a gardener,or everything is not going according to plan.As I moved to the communal houses, I staggered slightly from exhaustion, trying to control the weakness in my body. It was already dark outside, clearly letting me know that I spent much more time in the underworld than I planned. Obscurantism!Beast sighed sympathetically, because, unlike me, she felt great. I'm just glad that our connection is in order. Anya's warning about severing ties with the she-wolf stuck firmly in my head.- Where have you been? - I didn’t have time to go into the house, when instead of greetings I received a question from Stas.Andrey was also here, lounging on the sofa, flipping through some book. Annie was nowhere to be seen.- First, at Mitrich's, - I decided not to dissemble, saying everything as it is, - then I moved to Akulina.Catching two dissatisfied looks, I had to explain why I went there at all. And brag about what I got as a result of an unplann

While the boys were trying to figure out among themselves which of them fell asleep when he was supposed to be on guard, and because of whom they both almost gave me to be eaten by an entity from the Navi world, I just shrugged.- Could an oath of allegiance give protection similar to that of a family? - Stas asked his wife, appraisingly following the skirmish between his son and Vitya. The latter continued to sort things out, not paying attention to us.“Perhaps,” Anya drawled, “the oath of allegiance itself implies protection and a willingness to give one's life, but it works a little differently. Maybe it also worked that they slept together? Bodily contact could act as a catalyst for a defensive reaction ... - the witch said the last phrases to herself.And two things began to dawn on me. The first is a good one, because we, albeit by accident, found a way for me to survive with the parasite. The second - I have not yet decided how bad it is, but it seems that now I will not sleep
On the trail of the wolf 33
Wolves are caught not by a race, but by a trick,or retribution for recklessness.I quickly found myself next to Akulina, this time the transfer went without surprises. Except for the insane weakness that washed over me in a sharp wave, along with an attack of nausea.- Hi! - Having thrust papers from the king directly into Lina's hands, I lay down on the grass next to her, trying to come to my senses. - No food, read! But fast!- What is it?“I have no idea, they are clean for me, the king specially wrote for you,” closing my eyes, I muttered in response, trying to even out my breathing. - Well, your family drove me today!- Our family? - the princess was surprised and rustled the papers, obviously starting to read the contents of the instructions.While she was silent in concentration, I felt a little better. I was even able to feel a connection with the she-wolf, albeit a little weak. It was as if someone had erected an invisible concrete wall between us. Pleasant little, but I hop

On the trail of the wolf Epilogue
“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
On the trail of the wolf 70
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
