My evening in that place was coming to its logical conclusion, when the scent of night lilies touched my sense of smell. Involuntarily, he began to look around for the owner of this special fragrance, until he came across a statuesque brunette with wavy hair making her way through the crowd. He did not notice how he ended up next to her. I could not deny myself such a trifle as to inhale the smell of lilies again. Unexpectedly for himself, an impatient growl escaped his throat. The beast inside stirred, and in the mind literally imprinted with a fiery brand: "Mine."

In general, in the world of werewolves, everyone knows that if the wolf made a choice, then you can’t run away from it. But, damn, how everything is not on time, and even so problematic.

And I don’t even remember that werewolves used to recognize people as their only ones.

I am, as always, a lucky asshole!

But if someone asks me if I regret it, I will answer with an unequivocal "no"!

Can you regret something like this?

Many in all the centuries never meet their mate, and I was lucky to find it so early - not even hundreds of years away. And I will not refuse this human girl for anything now. From my one and only. The one that in the blink of an eye became the center of a personal universe.

It remains only to deal with her nedenishkom. This is exactly what I will do, as soon as I solve the case for which I flew to Moscow.

Being the Supreme alpha of all werewolves, I had to visit all the packs under my control once a year. Although it's loud. In fact, I rule nothing at all - some year. And I still have to prove to the heads of all the clans that I am worthy to take my place in the Council. This time I flew to Russia to check on how the clan of gray and white wolves is doing.

Once upon a time, the latter were quite numerous and more developed than the former, but during a fire twenty years ago, almost half of the population died in a flock of whites, including the alpha and his family. It came as a big shock to everyone. No one really could tell anything about what happened, and how it happened. The official version spoke of an accident with fireworks during the holiday, which caused several houses to catch fire at once. The fire was not extinguished in time. The panic began.

I did not believe in it, and it would hardly have been possible to find out the truth after such an amount of time. Most of all, I felt sorry for the newborn child of the head of the white wolf clan. The mother and child died in bed next to each other, but the alpha himself was found burnt in the living room. Those children whose parents died were dismantled by other families. Many fell to the gray wolves. However, Rinat Aidarov, the head of the clan of the latter, united the territories of neighboring packs into one, which was a good decision for everyone. In addition, he coped well with the leadership of both packs. And now I decided to rebuild and develop the white village. That is why I came to Russia - to evaluate the work done myself.

I hope it will be as fun as tomorrow, because the local alpha was not at the last meeting when I was elected Supreme, and still does not know who I am. I just wanted to be a werewolf for a while. To be honest, all these constant problems in all packs got sick of me, and I had to solve them myself at this stage. Yes, and a bunch of other red tape.

“Hmm, it’s hard to be the king of beasts ,” he grinned at his thoughts, stopping the car near the desired mansion in the gray wolf village.

He sucked in the air, smelling the echoes of the scent of night lilies and licked his lips in anticipation.

The game has begun.

Yaroslava

Dawn rays managed to touch the horizon line. Streams of sunlight painted the sky in bright colors. All around is silence. Taking off my high heels, I wandered along the main street of our cottage village. Outsiders are not allowed to be here, so I had to say goodbye to the taxi driver before entering the village near the barrier with security. Yes, and walking alone along the slender rows of monolithic cottages does not hurt. It was worth considering everything that had time to do.

“My Yaroslava,” surfaced in the subconscious over and over again.

The text written on the card that came with the flowers sounded in my head in a hoarse baritone that still gave me the creeps. Although, the latter, most likely, was caused by a more different circumstance.

His hands shook pretty badly, and walking straight was given with great difficulty. His head was splitting into thousands of fragments of pain.

Long live the wastelander!

Well, in addition to everything, I didn’t have time to load myself with alcohol and nicotine. It would definitely be even worse. Although… is what I replaced with trying to cope with the rampage of hormones better? To some extent, yes, of course. I experienced the most incredible emotions and sensations in my life. Only now ... how to confess this to Rinat? And is it worth it at all? Probably not. What if he understands everything himself, even though I made sure that it became difficult to do? Yes, and Jan was set up very seriously, if I correctly assessed everything.

These flowers...

Very beautiful.

Nobody ever gave me flowers before.

I must have found it. Quickly, although she tried to confuse her tracks. It didn't work out. Either he is so insightful, or I am so weak that I am not capable of even the most elementary things.

Again, the fact that the werewolf sent a bouquet, and did not appear, inspired a weak, but still hope. Maybe he changed his mind? But then what is the message?

Teasing me...

Shamelessly!

I should probably feel guilty for everything I've done. And I don't have it. I know that this is wrong, but ... the other has not yet been felt at all.

Indulging in thoughts that I, it turns out, is an unscrupulous bitch, I reached the house. The 460th steel-colored Lexus stood in front of the white fence of the gray wolf clan's alpha dwelling. My fiancé has returned from a long journey. And, judging by the fact that another car was parked nearby, he is not alone. And if you consider how a German sports car in fiery metallic color stood out against the background of an average SUV, the guest is not the last person among our kind.

As soon as she opened the front door, she perfectly heard Rinat's voice coming from outside the kitchen:

- Yaroslav!

Ignoring it would not work in any case, so I had to put on a smile on duty and move towards the alpha and his guest.

The tall, broad-shouldered leader of the local clan managed to change his traveling suit for light sports trousers and a white T-shirt. The clothes tightly fitted the male silhouette, allowing you to look through every muscle on his powerful body. Rinat has always stood out even among the strongest of the werewolves, thanks to two meters in height and an extraordinary breadth in the turn of the shoulders. By the time I got to the kitchen, he was pouring coffee into two china cups. The tart aroma of freshly brewed espresso soundly filled the room, it was for this reason that I did not immediately catch the smell of the second man sitting with his back to me.

"Good morning," she greeted cheerfully.

The guest did not even bother to pretend that he considered it necessary to turn around in my direction. Mentally attached to his head a symbol of comparison with all kinds of large-horned individuals. She had long ago become accustomed to the arrogance of those endowed with power among werewolves, and, accordingly, outwardly continued to portray hospitality.
