Maxim, squatting on his haunches, rolled up the sleeves of his turtleneck, scooped the ashes out of the fireplace into a bucket, and, throwing firewood, began to kindle a fire. And I sat and could not take my eyes off him: a gray turtleneck tightly fitted the torso. Massive chest, broad back. Here he is, straightened up and put his hands on his knees.Strongly, terribly, I wanted to go up to him, sit down and press against this back with my chest, putting my hands on his chest. It seemed another moment and I could not restrain myself - I would come up, but the obsession dissipated as soon as he spoke:- I came in about an hour ago. The house is dark and empty. I thought you were visiting one of the neighbors. No, everyone is at home, who is sitting, who is sleeping. Like a fool, he walked around, saying that I personally want to congratulate everyone. Maxim fanned the flame, got up and pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket. He wiped his hands, looked at me. - To be honest, they look

As soon as I opened my eyes in the morning, my eyes immediately fell on white boxes tied with a blue silk ribbon. Pulling them out to the middle of the room, she chose the largest one, pulled the ribbon with trepidation, removed the lid, and there! ... I stood motionless and looked inside, then carefully pulled out and unfolded - a fur coat! Frozen, she held her outstretched arms, examining her from all sides. I recognized the fur right away - a polar fox.I could not even dream of such a thing, and I did not even think about it. And now she pressed this light gray, fluffy beauty to herself. Carefully spreading the fur coat on the sofa, she opened the second box, from which she took out white boots with flat soles trimmed with fox fur of the same shade as the fur coat. Biting her lip, she placed her boots next to the sofa and opened the last little box, which contained white gloves with gray accents. And then emotions overflowed - I fell to my knees and, clutching my gloves, burst int

After talking for about an hour, she began to get ready, especially since Martha came up.It was time to go to the lake of power, which was about three hours of a good run from our camp. They decided to leave early, and of course I couldn't join them. Werewolves were gathering on the lake, who were currently in a pack, and according to Maxim's idea, I am generally now somewhere in South America.But I didn’t get upset, I decided to use this time to good use - I stroked the dress, did a manicure, and at the end of everything, having bathed, applied masks to my face and hair. They were made by the magical hands of Martha, and the skin of the face will be soft and silky, and the hair will shimmer and please the eye. Despite the fact that I stubbornly drove away one corrosive thought, I still had to admit at least to myself - I tried for Maxim. For some reason, I believed that tomorrow he would definitely come.At night tired Martha and Alina returned and went to bed, but I slept so sound

- Son-in-law Matvey with children. He comes every year, but Matvey never spoke to him. I only talked to my granddaughter. Today I decided to talk about it.We walked slowly along the line. The snow crunched underfoot, someone's conversations and laughter could be heard in the distance. I pulled the hood up.- Martha.- Mmm?- And what happened to grandfather Matthew? I know, of course, that it is not good to get into other people's secrets, but you never know, I will blurt out something superfluous, not knowing the situation.- Oh, Leah, this is not a secret, - she sighed, - It was a long time ago, about four years later, Darena, his wife, died. It was very difficult for Matthew. My son was then already thirty years old, probably, and my daughter, Maryana, was only twenty, in my opinion, turned. He, blackened with grief, overlooked his daughter, and she fell in love with a werewolf from another pack. Although he immediately told her: “You’re not a couple for me, but I won’t refuse you

- What happened to us ? - Lyosha asked me angrily, - Everything is just fine with us, but what are you doing, little sister? She's fine, how about you? - he looked angrily at Maxim, to my surprise, he silently removed my palm from his elbow and, before releasing, squeezed a little, went up to Alexei, from the side it looked like an elephant was approaching a pug, because at that moment my brother turned gray, but did not retreat and the look remained wicked.- Maksim! - shouted Martha, - Don't you dare! I said: find out the relationship in private, - she added more quietly, - I need to talk to you, come in.Maxim looked at Lyoshka for a few moments and abruptly, angrily said:- Take Alina and into the car!- I'm not your puppy to order me! Or will you push again?All this time I stood, as if in a stupor, watching what was happening, as if from the side, but still shaking off my numbness, I went up to my brother and, grabbing his hand, asked:- Lesh, what happened? - he did not turn ar

- Leah, you're talking nonsense now. I just can't understand why you needed a passport in the camp, that's why I'm asking. Well, okay, I'll talk to Maxim and personally come.This generally pissed me off: they don’t want to return my document, and this tone of his, they say, is doing me the greatest favor.Thank you, but I don't need your presence. You shouldn't bother yourself so much, just pass it on with the driver of the duty car and that's it.- I still need to talk to you, therefore, as soon as I find the time I will come, all the more you still need to bring your fur coat.- Alexei, it feels like you don’t hear me, however, as always.- Always what?- Nothing. You need to talk, not me. So be kind, just hand over the passport. If in two days I don’t have it, I’ll go on foot to the flock and then explain to everyone yourself how I got there from South America! As for the fur coat, don't bother - I won't take it. Too expensive a gift for someone like me and not from those who ...

Stretched by a series of gray everyday life. By the end of January, the beginning of February, severe frosts hit, and now I spent the daytime either in the house, sorting herbs, or in Martha and my house. Only a couple of times I managed to run through the forest.Marta often sat at the computer and communicated through the webcam either with the women from the laboratory, thus participating remotely in the process of their work, or communicated with her assistants: talkers Oksana and Marina. Naturally, at such moments of communication, I couldn’t go into the house and sat out in a neighboring house parsing herbs, and Marta, having finished the communication session, said that I could return.One day, she earned a little money and called me very late in the evening. To be honest, I was even a little offended that they forgot about me. After dinner, having listened to a bunch of apologies, she sat on the sofa with a cup of fragrant herbal tea, Marta settled in an armchair with a remote

“It’s the same,” she sighed, “Maybe I’ll never succeed at all, and I’m just trying in vain,” she leaned her back against a tree and closed her eyes in frustration.“And you said you were wearing an artifact.” Show him.I looked at him warily.- Why?- Yes, just show, do not shoot. I have a guess.I hesitated, but nevertheless took out a cross and showed it to him in my palm. He leaned over and examined it carefully.- Come on, turn it over, - he examined it from the other side, and even closing his eyes, leaning slightly towards my palm, he sniffed, - And when was the last time you took it off?frowned:- Mmmm... I don't take it off at all. And what?Here he raised his eyebrows in surprise.- As! And why? Come on, remember: how did you feel before you put it on and after?I, having removed the cross in my bosom, straightened up, slowly wandered to the station.- They put it on me when I was sick. For a long time. Since then, I have not taken it off - this is my protection.- You know,

- Well, why did you jump up at dawn? Martha, stretching, went out onto the porch.- Oh, I can't sleep! The wolf has gone crazy! Let's have a quick breakfast and go to the forest, shall we?Martha laughed.- Well, run after Matvey, we'll have breakfast together. And I'll put myself in order.I ran to the other side of the station. Well, at least Martha warned him yesterday! Running up to Matvey's house, she knocked on the window, listening: what if he was still sleeping? But no, footsteps were heard, he looked out, and I called him to us for breakfast.Forward! My paws push off the ground, and I joyfully rush on, winding through the trees. Behind me I feel a she-wolf and a little further a wolf. I really feel them! On some mental level.Having stopped, she turned and joyfully rushed back, ran around the wolf and jumped out into the clearing. With a joyful snort from a running start, she almost plopped down on her belly, spreading her paws to the sides, buried her nose in the ground, dr

I looked at him warily, looked sideways at the porch. Well, nothing, if suddenly something goes wrong, I will have time to call.- Wow, and now try to direct me as if a wave stream of kindness, calm.I tried. Maybe even puffed out loud. Opening one eye, she asked:- Well, how? Happened?- Mmm, no. I will direct my stream to you now, so that you understand and I will comment. Close your eyes.Bli-i-n. Here's something that didn't feel right to me. I closed my eyes anyway.- You must first imagine the face, the image to whom you want to direct the flow, well, it seems like a good wish to direct, only internally. Feel how it is now.- Leah! What are you doing?- Sitting. I try to feel, - I looked at him in bewilderment.- You yourself have directed an energy flow at me.- Yeees? And I didn't do anything.- Come on again. Try to do, well, or feel the same as the first time.Closing her eyes, she tried to recreate the same feeling. And how to do this if you have not done anything before? I
