Reed's look was saying, just broadcasting to the whole neighborhood, that I was going to be in trouble. We took Cathy, or whatever it was, to the camp, where the rest of our guys, led by Reed, returned very soon. Unfortunate rescuers, I wanted to say, but stopped when I ran into the leader.

Reid stood with his arms folded across his chest and stared at me.

“Good luck,” Alex said as he passed.

I shot my friend with a lightning glare, and went to give up with the most innocent expression on my face. When the leader is dissatisfied, this is bad. When the leader is your cousin ... This promises big problems.

"We'll talk at home," Reid said.

And the day started out so well...

The girl was placed on a stretcher, and Alex and Travis carefully carried her to the beginning of the hiking trail, where they left the cars. One guy from the girl's company went with us, the rest began to collect the camp. The holidays are over.

This time I chose to trail at the end so as not to loom in front of Reed

    Red Cottage, the ancestral home of the Cooper family, greeted me with silence. I closed the front door, blocking out the sounds from outside. She sighed and made her way to the kitchen.“Oh, I should have agreed to lunch,” I dejectedly assessed the remnants of food in the refrigerator.She always said so, but invariably returned to the house, where only the memory of the once large Cooper family remained. I put the last portion of lasagna on to bask and with some even pleasure began to wash the empty baking sheet. The food is out, which means it will be back soon.“Now I’ll go and eat in the living room.” What do you say to that? After all, you’re never home anyway,” I grumbled under my breath as I set the table.She didn’t go into the living room either, although she always threatened to. As well as rearranging all the dishes in the cabinets, as well as moving all the furniture in the house. Bluffed. Because it's really scary, to be honest. Grandma Cooper evoked supernatural fear and

    Eh, the day of Initiation would come sooner. The soul requires a holiday and rest, - she stretched, and a smile returned to her face again. She infected me too, it was impossible to look at this round, radiant face and not pick up her mood. “And Grandma Cooper will be back, right?”- Of course.I could not even imagine the rite of the pack without her presence.***The holiday of the family and the rite of initiation is the day when we accepted newly converted wolf cubs into the pack. They were present for the first time at the rite of the flock and secret paths were opened to them.Usually, the first revolutions happened about six years. The crisis of five years was familiar not only to human children. Most often it happened out of control under the power of strong emotions. The first turn is exhausting and difficult to repeat after. Today, children will be helped to apply a special infusion that suppresses the human essence.Two wolf cubs will join the pack this year. It was a whole

    “Keep up, T-Rex,” I whispered to my nephew and tugged at his T-shirt sleeve.Morgan could not stand it and giggled, but immediately covered his mouth with his palm. But it was too late. Rita turned to face us.It was afternoon, and while the elders were clearing the table, the younger ones were enjoying themselves. And me, of course. I love bugs!And wolves' blind man's buff is not just child's play. This is a real test. Now ten-year-old Rita, blindfolded, had to not only find the players, but also not grab Lemon. Therefore, we often called this game "Lemon"."Shall we play Lemon?""Who will be Lemon this time?"“Maybe this time we will have three Lemons?”And all because one or several players were splashed with lemon juice before the start of the game. And with the help of two senses - hearing and smell - the leader had to catch everyone except Lemon. But the difficulty was that if the players were in contact, then the smell was transferred. And it was quite difficult to recognize w

    The heat from the fire touched the skin from afar. It scorched, made it burn, but as soon as you turned away, you again plunged into the cool of the night.On the edge of the forest behind our houses, we built a huge fire, its flame seemed to reach to the very heavens. Sparks rose, and they could no longer be distinguished from the stars.Everyone was here, even the children who were supposed to sleep. The elders sang old mournful songs until Rock began to dance to shake off the sleepy spirit.“Stop howling,” Ba interrupted and clapped her hands. - Turn on your hurdy-gurdy.Rock, as if waiting for a signal, immediately connected the speaker. The sound of incendiary music resounded throughout the district. Alien to the silent forest, but so suitable for dancing.Martha and I spun happily and started dancing around the fire. Soon only the old people were left sitting, and all the rest were rushing around the fire in a frantic dance. We danced, changed in pairs, moving towards each other

    Now we were both breathing heavily and staring into each other's eyes.“So don’t piss me off, Kira. And I can control myself.They didn't look away. They couldn't get enough oxygen. And my hand was still pressed to his chest, and I felt the pulsation of his heart. So often, so loudly.And then the attraction was gone. And we rushed to each other. Alex pressed me to him, eagerly pressing his lips. Capturing, crushing. I pulled him by the neck, forcing him to be closer, erasing the slightest boundaries. We choked on feelings. It wasn't a kiss, it was a thirst we were trying to quench.His hands moved lower, down to my hips, pressing me closer, tighter. And I didn't need any more clues - I grabbed his shoulders, Alex lifted me up, and I wrapped my legs around him. We were indivisible, reveling in each other.But then I let out a muffled growl, and closed my eyes against the unbearable burning inside. I loosened my legs and Alex lowered me to the ground. He still pressed me to him, touchi

    Because Alex came out of Reed's office with a bag in his hands. Derek stopped him and began to search for something in the numerous pockets of the bag. And Alex waited patiently, leaning on the railing with one arm.I waited for the moment when he would turn his head and see me. Ten, nine, eight, seven… Alex looked at me. I managed to see a moment of confusion on his face. Just a second. And then, as if the old expression had been blown away by the wind, he smiled. So childish and carefree. But not with the eyes.And everything is like the first time. Like those sixteen years of mine. When, putting the pegs for the tent, we first bumped our foreheads, then laughed, and then Alex pulled my face with his hand and kissed it. The kiss lasted for about a minute, until my she-wolf came, challenging his wolf. And then that look.And at my eighteen. Right after the birthday, when we were alone.Nothing has changed. We were pulled and thrown back. And the gap between us grew.And at the next m

    “Mr. Wilson, how far do your walks go?” I nodded and returned to my work.“Commendable as an exemplary younger sister. Only Alex said that your heart is not very much in it.Alex obviously did not speak in such terms, I grinned. The old man was not going to leave, went ahead and sat down on a fallen tree. Now he was in front of my eyes - it would be more difficult to turn away.“He doesn’t lie down, he doesn’t stand, he doesn’t sit,” I muttered under my breath.“Then it is doubly commendable. Your heart is very generous. You have been through so much, but still you are open to them and have not turned away.I frowned as I looked at the old man. Almost colorless eyes narrowed, the gaze pierced to the bone. There was always a half-smile on Mr. Wilson's lips, which made one doubt whether he meant everything he said in earnest.The day when he and part of his pack came to us surfaced in my memories. Alex was excited and overjoyed to meet the grandfather he had only heard about. And I real

    They did not accompany me beyond the threshold of the house. I went out alone through the back door, wearing only a long poncho. I stepped on the cold ground with my bare feet and looked up at the sky. The moon has claimed its rights. Bright and round. Reed picked a great time to start the race. Oddly enough, the wolf in me was calm. Either the rut didn't work on her, or I drank too much wine. Throwing off my only robe in the shed and placing my mother's bracelet next to me, I took a deep breath and said softly before turning around: “Just not this year. And then she gave herself up to the she-wolf. I felt the thirst and desires of others. They seemed to be on fire, but their heat did not touch me. I was drawn to the forest, and I was calm. She circled the closest of her flock and rushed deep into the depths. I, as if stepped on the threshold of my native home, confident and peaceful. But there was something else. Something was waiting for me up there. Beckoning, but not demandin

    — Kira! Kira, wake up!Martha's voice and an unpleasant thump on my shoulder pulled me out of a dream where I wandered through the woods in search of ... something. Listened to all my feelings, but could not find. What was I looking for? I didn’t have time to understand, because they unceremoniously woke me up in my own house, where, I can swear, I fell asleep alone.“Leave me alone,” she grumbled and hid from the intruder under a pillow.But she did not lag behind, moreover, she climbed on top of me and shook me well.No, no, you can't sleep now. I have such news!“Get off me, you annoying elephant!” She turned around and pushed her off.Then Martha crawled under the covers, looked under the pillow and put her head beside her.Pfft, so childish. Let me sleep. I don’t know what time it is, but I’m sure it’s God’s shit,” I muttered, barely moving my tongue, drifting off to sleep again.Reed approved. Mating season starts tomorrow.My eyes flew open. And it is unlikely that they had the

    "No, I didn't," I grew more and more gloomy.And then, when Roca's mom treated us all to baked mutton pies in the courtyard of his house. The four of us sat at a round table - Me, Martha, Rock and Alex. Alex and I fought over the crunchiest pies, and Martha kept dreaming.“Just imagine, this year we might have a new member of the pack join us.- In terms of? Rock asked in surprise, barely chewing a huge piece of pie, which he hastily stuffed into his mouth, saving him from two gluttonous alphas.“Someone can find their mate from another pack."That's unlikely," Rock waved his hand.Why not? For example, you can get so far away from our territory by smelling your mate. So is she,” Martha smiled.“No, definitely not me.Of course not you. You're looking forward to your Beast choosing Molly, aren't you, Rock?“Maybe it will be me. Just like my Uncle Trent.I suddenly spoke up. I don't know why she said it. Yes, and remembered the father of Reed. But the expression on Alex's face explaine

    I was waiting for the trial, threats. Grandma was gone, so I took her place in the rocking chair from where she usually watched the meetings, in the shade of her house. She swayed rhythmically and watched the others gather around the oak table. And she scrolled everything so that I would tell the pack if I were the leader. Probably, anger still spoke in me, but I would demand blood. I found Alex with my eyes, he also did not join the others at the table, he froze in the distance, leaning on the carved posts in the fence of my old house. And my eyes were ignored. Therefore, Ba liked to repeat - my character is not suitable for a leader. Too impulsive. Too easily emotions take over the mind. Reed appeared on the porch of the office, looked around the pack, and stopped at Lark and his son, who were sitting at the table. They took everyone, even the children. Lark looked worried, stroking her son's head, twiddling her fingers through the curls, but as soon as she caught her husband's ga

    Surprisingly, the news about the new gene in the pack was perceived calmer than the close attention to us from the people from the hotel and the ban on solo outings. Let the lesser danger, but it is closer, and that makes it more frightening.I had to go to Reid, give him reports, but I continued to sit on the porch at Martha's house. We didn’t even really talk, we just worried together. There were so many things I wanted to discuss with her, but for some reason, what Ba told me, she could not pronounce. The tongue could not put together the necessary words, and in my thoughts, as if there was a taboo.“You know, I thought… If our blood can heal many people, then that’s good. We will save so many lives. They can come up with cures. Or they will develop something based on our gene, - Martha propped up her cheek with her hand and turned so that she could see me.“You will think differently when you lie on the operating table, and your blood will be pumped to the last drop. To heal a few

    Dinner did take place that evening, thanks in part to Sarah's food. But much later, so Morgan pecked at the table.Although with the same success it was possible to bring that burnt meat pie to the table - no one had an appetite. Lark took Morgan to sleep in Rod's empty room, Ba moved to a chair closer to the fire in the fireplace. The others sat at the table and talked quietly, as if speaking a little louder would bring the disturbing thoughts to life.“How serious is it, Rod said?” Reed asked.- News, as always, and do not reflect half. There are several laboratories, and there are far from such peaceful purposes as they show us. And not in such peaceful ways,” said grandfather.He became even gloomier after they returned with their grandmother. And I was sure that my uncle did not tell even half, so as not to disturb the old people.He said he had suspicions. But then people failed to get on the trail of the werewolves, - Reed remained calm. - And now?He's not sure anymore. But he

    “Mr. Wilson, five years ago, when I was fourteen, we found out that I do not understand half hints. Be direct about what you're getting at.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the old man wince. If the alpha points directly, even without the intent of an order, it is difficult to cross this barrier. I knew that the old man would never admit it, and therefore would not complain to his brother.“I didn't want to remind you. But my heart always remembers and regrets your loss: you lost your father, then your mother and maternal uncle ... If you think about it, then your brother and his wife are behind all these events.“If you think about it, my Uncle Trent is behind all this,” I said through gritted teeth. Every family has its own black sheep.Are you still wearing it? He suddenly changed the subject.My gaze dropped to my hand. I myself did not notice how unconsciously I began to twist the strap on my arm. Mr. Wilson knew it well, having seen me put it on. And he knew the reason.I lowe

    And at my eighteen. Right after the birthday, when we were alone.Nothing has changed. We were pulled and thrown back. And the gap between us grew.And at the next meeting, we put on hopelessly cheerful smiles and did not discuss anything. As if it wasn't.But this look. Every time this look. I tried to understand him, but I couldn't.- Grandma, go. I'll be back in a minute,” I told Grandma, never taking my eyes off Alex. Her fingers reached for the bracelet on her arm, seeking reassurance.Well, Alex Wilson, I know the rules of the game very well. I smiled, nodded in the direction the stranger had gone, and rolled my eyes. Alex nodded in understanding.I waved my hand and turned away. There was no point in discussing anything. Not when I was so afraid of losing my best friend.Not when we both knew full well that two alphas couldn't be together. In this duel, only one will survive. It doesn't matter what stupid human hearts felt.***In the evening, Reed gathered us around an oak tab

    Toward morning, I found myself naked in the forest. The she-wolf left, left me, as if punishing me. This was not her first meanness, and in this case, I kept caches of clothes and shoes all over the forest. In the nearest one, I found a long shirt and sneakers that were almost trashed. Too many hiding places, too few unnecessary clothes.But such a walk through the gloomy forest, when the sun was just preparing to assert its rights, on the grass wet with dew, cleared my head. I, like a ghost, went through the fog to the community houses. Tourists should see me! My feet were covered in mud and grass, my head was a complete mess. Maybe not a ghost? Maybe a bride from the grave? Thinking like that, a smile appeared on my face, and I smoothed out the fabric of my white shirt, which reached down to my knees.I went into the house through the back door, threw off my dirty sneakers, made a note in my head that I needed to return things to the hiding place in case of new wolf kicks, and went
