“No thanks, I'll take a walk,” I replied to Kise, but a text back from a friend made me change my mind and get into the car.“This woman is a flower girl, but none of us knows where she is now. My friend lives in your city, she is also a flower girl, ask her, ”the message from the sorceress read. There was also an address. And I already knew him. Alyona! I hoped it wasn't too late for a visit... And who were the flower girls?- So where are we going? — asked Kisa, pulling me out of my thoughts. I quickly dictated the address of my recent acquaintance.“Am I learning something new about myself?”— And how did you get into the department? the gunsmith suddenly asked."Korotkov offered the job, and I accepted," I answered laconicly. - And you? I asked more to keep the conversation going than because I was really interested. I was all in my thoughts. But her answer made me look away from them."Korotkov took me away from the bone-breakers," she replied. “I don’t really have anything else
Morning greeted me with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee from the kitchen. Has the Fox already woken up and made us breakfast? But it was not there. Sitting on the bed, I saw Inari sleeping peacefully next to me. Who was in charge of the kitchen then? Hastily put on his trousers and followed the smell.“Good morning,” Pasha greeted me when he saw me. I immediately remembered his sobs at night near Korotkovo.“I thought you were going straight to the department,” I muttered, sitting down at the table. The guy looked rumpled and strange.- Would you like some coffee? he asked, hiding his gaze from me.“No,” I replied with a yawn. - I'm going to sleep, it's too early to get up.“Korotkov and I broke up,” the guy said, stopping me. “What happened yesterday was the last time.” I turned around to face him. You're right, you have to respect yourself.“You understand that this is what he wanted,” I said in a barely audible voice. My guess was not entirely accurate. To understand the differe
The sharp claws of the black wolf dug into my chest, and I lost my balance and fell to the floor, decently kissing my head. Michael's beast was on top of me and only when he saw his own paws in my blood did he transform back. - What are you doing? the man yelled. My ears are stuffed up. Why did you change form? Don't tell the truth? I looked down at the blood on my chest, remembering that I had no regeneration. Damn, this could have left a scar. But better with a scar than under a wolf! It seems that Mikhail himself did not expect that he could seriously injure me. Bars immediately ran up to me, putting his hand to the wound. The cold immediately soothed the pain. “Not fatal,” said the doc, glancing in the direction of my recent opponent. “Our commander is getting old,” I laughed, feeling the adrenaline recede. “He didn’t even break my bones this time.” “Your head should be broken,” he snapped in response, but without that rage. “Who knows, maybe it’s already broken,” I answered
- How are you going to seduce a maniac with such an unattractive face? The youngster chuckled.“I don’t even know,” I supported his cheerful mood.I lost my phone in my trouser pocket. There was a message from Maroun announcing the arrival of a squad car. Well, it was time to get to work. In SMS, the demon also asked about my well-being. It was natural, a dying female would not attract the attention of a maniac. I wrote that there were only scratches that would not interfere with my work. Indeed, only they remained, but to be honest, I myself did not expect. How did Bars treat my wound so that it increased the rate of recovery of my cells?“I have to go to work,” I said, finishing my coffee. — Thank you for breakfast, — kissing his cook on the cheek, he went to put on his shoes in the corridor. “Be good,” he shouted, already leaving the apartment.“Be careful,” Fox smiled, locking the door behind me.And the head of the investigators did a good job. Country cottage on two floors. Alth
“Okay, I still lived in the wrong area and not even close to it. So, it’s unlikely that any of my neighbors visited an expensive restaurant far away from home. ”"So we're going to sit in silence?" I asked Bars when we ordered. I had no idea what to talk to him about.“Our job is to just sit and smile,” he replied in a calm voice. - Communication is not required. In addition, we do not know common topics for conversation. Or am I wrong?“Why, there is one,” I disagreed, quickly thinking about what he could be asked. — For example, I'm curious, how did you get into the department? I came up with at least something in common.“I will not discuss this with a stranger to me,” is the answer I expected to hear. Finally, we got our first meal. Now there was a good reason not to talk to him.What kind of creature he was, after all, clearly not one of the simple ones. I could see manners, good upbringing, in general, everything that I don’t have... If he was from the world of my ancestors, the
“I’ll explain everything to you later! Pasha's excited voice sounded in my head. Don't fall for his provocations!“So after all, you really didn’t tell me something? Again, I trusted people too much! Again they lied to me, but I believed! Only I didn’t expect this from Pasha, it was like getting a knife in the back! - You had a lot of time for a frank conversation, but you decided to remain silent? Now I will listen to others! ”I didn’t know how I did it, but I threw my friend out of my mind. Now I was left alone with Voronov. Almost one on one...In less than a second, I received a text from Maroon on my phone to leave the restaurant, leaving my ideas for a trip to the mentalist in the lair for them. So the demon heard us too, I wonder who else was bugging me?“Naturally, I won’t tell you anything for that,” Voronov said, smiling disgustingly, taking my hand in his hand. Are you willing to pay for the truth? he added, kissing my fingers. Was that a hint that I should sleep with him f
Kostya.Again I woke up in a hospital bed. I wanted to drink and smoke, but the same question was spinning in my head: why did I rush to save Marun? He's a magical creature with regeneration much better than mine. His shoulder still hurt from Voronov's blade, and his body still ached from his blows. So I didn't sleep long. And what is the result? I never found out anything. I felt like a pawn on someone else's chessboard. I tried to contact Pasha, but did not work. And why did I have a bad feeling? It's like I did something wrong.So, I had to get up and find at least someone to figure everything out. But before I had time to get up from the hospital bed, Mikhail came into my ward. Suddenly…“Here are your clothes and documents,” he threw a travel bag with things on my bed. And where is the elementary "hello"? I no longer talked about the simple question “how do you feel?” “Get dressed and go to all four directions,” the chief added, without even turning in my direction.- Seriously?
- You're right! - answered the already familiar voice of my father. I turned in his direction and saw a dear person for me. My heart beat wildly in my chest. I peered into his face to remember every little detail. In order not to pass by, if suddenly I meet him ... Black eyes with a raging flame inside, it seems, have now forever remained in my memory.- Your mother! his father growled in the direction of the approaching chase. - Leave! he growled at Mikhail and turned into a huge black wolf. I have never seen such large animals.- Don't be stupid! Michael shouted. "You're dead if you stay!" - the father's wolf grinned, but it did not frighten him. The man didn't move.“ If we stay, then there will be two dead people!” his father growled. "Get out of here, puppy!" - calling the flame, he insisted on his own. "I'm still the leader of the pack!" The words of the leader are not discussed! Get out! - he shouted, stepping on his "enemy".- The pack is gone! “Michael also summoned fire.- Y
Warm living room. The sound of crackling wood in the fireplace. The smell of a wooden house. Children's laughter. I sit in front of the fireplace, stroking my little belly. I am pregnant, not for the first time. Two boys run into the living room. Twins. Looking at the mischievous kids, a smile automatically appears on my face. The heart is calm and warm. Here it is my personal happiness, children and a quiet life for a reliable man. Here is the man of my dreams. Footsteps were heard outside the window. Children screaming "daddy, daddy" ran to open the front door. Tell me, has it already happened? It was, but only in my dreams, and now it is a reality. Now I already know who will open the door to my house…. But, let's not get ahead of ourselves, do you want to know how our battle with Frida ended? Well, ten years have passed since then, and I didn’t notice ... Ten years ago I awakened the gift of my mother, Tara, the guardian of all forests and their inhabitants. When Korotkov
- Welcome back to our world. Frieda said angrily. - And this world has already become “ours” for you? I chuckled as I walked over to Inari. - And you should not spit poison, otherwise you never know you will bite your tongue, but you will die ahead of time. I have big plans for you, so don't disappoint me, baby. You don't deserve her power! Frida screamed. - Maybe. I spoke calmly. “But like it or not, I am my mother's son. So I will not give up so easily, just as she never gave up. So you have two options. Leave and forget about our existence or die. Honestly, I'm for the first option. Mom appreciates any life, and there are already too few of you left. - Tara is no more! Frida snapped. Just because you can't hear it doesn't mean it's not there! I shouted, somehow holding back my fire so as not to burn the fragile flower in my hand. - Give the flower to Chris and make sure no one interferes with her. - I turned to the Fox and held out the plant. Don't argue, okay.
Kostya. "But that doesn't mean he can take magic from others." Raising my voice a little, I replied. “He may be unique, but not so unique that other beings would sacrifice everything for him. “I don’t know what the demon was guided by when doing such things, but I’m not a judge to accuse him. - Said the dryad. I was again taken away at the same time by a whole kaleidoscope of visions. The pictures changed so quickly that sometimes I didn't even have time to see them. Absolutely all actions were reduced to repeated confrontations between Mikhail and the Amazons for the entire time I was in the department. Almost every task of the black wolf ended in a trap from the dryads. And with each time the dryads became more and more fierce and angrier. That's why Mikhail did not spare me in training. He knew what awaited me when I met them. And I will certainly meet them ... Only occasionally between conflicts with the Amazons flashed our training. And after each of them, the black
Kostya. From the abrupt change of location, I didn’t even immediately guess where I was. There was a smell of bitter cigarette smoke and cheap alcohol all around, and the deafening music from the loudspeakers cut the ear. Looking closer, I finally remembered the place where I am now - the Laguna bar. It was here that Mikhail and Korotkov called me to find out my answer to the offer of a "job" ...*** You don't often see you with alcohol. I heard Korotkov's voice. He and Michael sat at the bar. Mikhail was already pretty drunk, but he ordered more drinks, both for himself and for Korotkov, who had joined him. I don’t remember that the black wolf was so drunk that evening ... I hope the boy doesn't come. Michael muttered indistinctly. - Who is he? - Taking a sip from a glass of vodka, asked Korotkov. "You won't deny that you know him..." - I do not know! Michael snapped back at him. “And I wouldn't want to know. - The wolf continued in a calmer tone, drinking a glass of s
- This does not concern you! Michael yelled at her. “What the hell are you, Taigo, discussing my relationship with her?! - Here, we have nothing else to do, except to discuss someone else's personal life. - The girl chuckled. - Apparently not what! Michael snapped back at her. - Linda, a gifted she-wolf, she could become true, both to me and to him ... - But she made her choice in favor of the leader of the northern wolves, Wulfa. Tara interrupted him. “So that’s what her heart decided. Michael, you'd better admit defeat and move on. You will meet your destiny. You are still so young... - She chose not with her heart, but we wish to save her own skin! Michael did not agree with her. - We decided to leave this world so that we would not lose any of our brothers again. I'm tired of burying young guys who grew up before my eyes. Linda was simply afraid to lose everything, so she went to Wolfe. Decided. It is better to fight here, protecting what is already there, than to r
Kostya. No matter how much I peered into the water surface of the lake, absolutely nothing happened. Not in five minutes, not in fifteen, not in half an hour... Unable to contain my emotions, I hit the water with my fist. Well, how so! So much to pass and again nothing! A cry escaped from his chest, no from helplessness, no from desperation. My cry echoed throughout the cave, reflected in every corner. Even now I won’t say whether it was me screaming or my she-wolf. - Let yourself go. - The seer whispered, running her hand along my back from head to waist. “The lake will not give answers until you accept yourself. She said as I turned to face her. And as soon as she found out that I was looking at her ... - Who are you, Luna? - I'm a wolf. I answered almost in a whisper, closing my eyes. Completely disengaged from what was happening, I finally saw my moon. She, as before, was waiting for me in my mind. A proud, independent, black she-wolf with the gift of fire. Now, the gift
Kostya. - Kostya! - The Fox called me when the dryad took my hand and wanted to take me away. - He can accompany you only if he remains silent. The forest maiden smiled at me, sensing my dismay. Feeling like I needed support from someone I trusted. My insides seemed to shrink from anticipation. I wanted to quickly find out, finally, the truth, but at the same time I was afraid to hear it ... - Thanks. - He spoke with his lips, when I held out my hand to him. Inari, without thinking for a second, closed our hands together. Here it is, the very warmth that I needed right now. Warmth and calmness from the Fox was transferred to me with his every touch. Taking the Fox more tightly by the hand, we followed the dryad into the depths of the forest, moving further and further away from the clearing where the father and brothers were. Mist immediately followed us, obscuring our path. For the first time, I allow myself to be led, not knowing what lies ahead of me. And I am absolutel
So you haven't seen each other before? - I clarified. - Not! Mark shouted. - We, in general, have not met anyone else from “ours” in this world. - So, Mikhail was telling the truth that he did not find his father all this time. Well, at least he wasn't lying. We thought no one else survived. My brother and I were not far apart, so we met fairly quickly. But, the father was found only a year ago. So we only found out about you a year ago. - About a year ago I was in our world, but not for long. - I remembered, and the hand itself reached for the chain around the neck, where the token used to hang to go to our world. – And exactly the same amount I know Mikhail. - Well, the main thing is that we met no matter what. - Friendly hitting me on the shoulder, said Mark. Now the family is together again. - He smiled at me. - Again? Max chuckled. - But I agree on one thing, I'm glad that you were found. - I'm glad to meet you too. – I said a little embarrassed. “I didn't know
- What? - Again, Michael turns to me. - You won’t even scream, throw a tantrum? - Yes, you go to the forest. I snapped back at him. - Nerves to waste on you. Did you even find what you were sent here for? - Not happy again. Michael chuckled. - Well, let's say I would have found them anyway, sooner or later. I pointed towards my father. - But Pasha is dying right now ... - I know, you can not remember. The smirk immediately left his face. - I haven’t found the grass yet, when I find it, I’ll be back. So get back home. - Don't tell me what to do. - I snapped. - It's useless! Michael raised his voice. - You always do everything your own way, and no one orders you! - That's it, so let's not break the tradition. I smiled at him with my most charming smile. “Just tell me where you haven’t searched yet and we’ll save each other the hassle.” - There is someone to climb the forests! - He didn't give up. “And I want to remind you that I am still your commander, so orde
