Ar flung open the doors of an antique wardrobe and took up the top shelf.- I myself, - Lily intercepted a stack of things from the hands of a man."Here," he held out the phone.Did my parents call me? Lily asked excitedly.- No, let it be with you.Not believing what was happening, Lily timidly took the phone, afraid to let it out of her hands. What if Arnar changes his mind?“I need to leave,” he said. “My sister and Elya are staying at home, and security is on duty. If so, call out loud.- Okay. - Lily looked at the man's back in amazement and first of all dialed her mother.The girl paced the room, listening to the beeps. One, two, three calls, no answer. With her mind, she understood that blaming someone for the fact that her parents did not want to pick up the phone was stupid. But resentment clasped her throat with thin tentacles, forcing her to suppress quiet sobs. It would be better if he didn't give away his phone. And Lilya could believe that they are worried about her, wo
“Lilya,” Ar called, catching up with her in the corridor. The girl left the bedroom with notebooks in her hands. Arnar glanced at them briefly and flared his nostrils angrily. I am ready to make concessions about my studies. But with two conditions.Lily smiled. Can she leave the house?“I had no doubt they would,” she said happily.You study for one semester.- And second? she asked, pleading in her voice.- Forget about him. The diploma will be on hand, don't worry about it.- And one more condition?“You'll find out more about him later. It won't affect your life in any way.- I agree! Lily blurted out in joy. — Can I go with Elka tomorrow? No matter how hard she tried, a smile stuck to her lips.“Yes,” the werewolf agreed doomedly.Not a day, but a holiday! Lily would never have thought that such a thing as studying would please. She hurried back to Elka to share her joy, ask for a backpack or a bag, find out the schedule.The girl prepared a set of clothes in the evening, rewrote
Hastily throwing on a light coat, with a thundering heart to the sound of thin heels, Lily went down to the car waiting at the entrance. And she looked through the tinting to see if there was Ar in the car, or if she had to wait until the house to make a scandal. The man got out of the driver's seat, and Lilya was confused, calling in her thoughts "home" not the parent's apartment, but a small house in the garden. The werewolf quickly overcame several steps and wrapped the coat around the girl.— Why wide open?! The weather is windy. — Led to the car. - Another week or two, and the house will have to move.Ara's commanding tone brought Lily back to reality.“Hello, honey,” she said in a gentle tone. She got up on her toes and kissed the man on the cheek.That was her next mistake - the warmth from the male body and the smell of herbs brought down the warlike mood.“I don’t understand…” The werewolf froze, holding the open door with one hand, and the girl with the other."What's wrong,
Ar carefully wrapped the photo in a sheet of recommendations and tucked it into the inside pocket of his coat.- Go.In the mansion, the first thing Lily ran to Vela was to show a photo of the baby. Ar watched his sister and the couple and smiled. The girl enthusiastically talked about how she saw the wolf cub for the first time, and Vela listened attentively, not letting go of the picture. The sister looked the defense in the eyes and smiled warmly, hinting that he was on the right track.Leaving the papers on the table, Ar took one photograph with him and went up to the bedroom. This is where most of his belongings were. Having changed, he glanced once more at the black-and-white silhouette and folded the photograph into the top drawer of the chest of drawers, covering the tattered photo with a thin glossy sheet.Spreading his arms, the werewolf fell back on the bed, content with the events of the past few days. If he knew that the girl - mentally corrected himself: his girl - would
Elya turned first and met the three men's eyes. They imposingly walked out of the laboratory.- Well, beauties, did you know? I see you know.Lily pressed her back against the door and instinctively covered her stomach with her hands. One of the guys they met at the bar was staring at her. The same one that grabbed Elya and wanted to take her upstairs, the same one that hit her in the face. Behemoth stood in the center, slightly ahead of the rest, demonstrating the position of the leader. The man's body was sacked with clothes, as if someone had dressed the skeleton in frayed black jeans and a gray jacket.“We found out, we found out,” he answered Elya. She shook her head negatively. “I remember you well, little one. I would recognize you from a thousand little bitches like you, - he laughed raspily and stared unblinkingly. Behemoth looked at the girl from under his brows, on a thin face with sunken cheeks, dark spots stood out from the eyes. Deep-set, dull and lacking in humanity.-
- I'll take them. The girls have been sitting on Lila for a long time [1] , - Konstantin's voice was heard, - let them continue to serve as donors.- No! Ar burst into the office. “They won't live.“I don’t see the point in such a mediocre use of resources,” the vampire objected.I don't see the point in letting them breathe. Ar took a seat next to Leo, leaning his hip on the desk.“Rage is speaking in you now,” Konstantin interrupted.“Yes,” the werewolf barked back, “today I almost lost my mate and my child again. What would you do in my place?"I wouldn't give you the right to live," the vampire admitted. Arnar nodded in satisfaction. “But our prince will be grateful for such a generous gift."I'm not going to please your prince!"- But in vain. It was not we who wrote out the death sentence for the girls, but those who hooked them on Leela, the vampire objected."We all know who's doing this," Ar interrupted.- This is not what we're talking about now. Give them to me.- I agree,
The men climbed the marble stairs. Oncoming people nodded in greeting or looked away in disbelief. There was an unnatural silence in the estate, which looked more like a medieval castle. Noise and bustle were not welcome here.Climbing up to the fourth, highest floor, they entered a spacious hall, slightly darkened, with many armchairs standing in groups or one at a time, sofas on low legs and coffee tables, absolutely clean. Reception here was expected for hours, and sometimes even days. Regardless of when you arrived, the Dark Vampire Prince himself decided whether he wanted to see the visitor or not. And if so, when.Arnar, Konstantin and Leo took their places at the back of the hall and looked around. This was not the first visit to the head of bloodsuckers, and little has changed in fifty years. Even the arrangement of the furniture remained the same.Ar, snorting softly at the sugary-sweet scent floating in the room, remained as calm as possible in the center of the vampire hive
- See how it is. Mitya grabbed her sister by the waist and threw her up with ease. He put her on his shoulders. - Well, are you reaching out? he asked, standing up on his toes."Just don't drop me." - stretching out her hand and biting the tip of her tongue, Elya caught her balance. - Yes, stop spinning, I will never put on a star. - She hit the heels on the men's sides, calling for calm.Mitya, uttering a horse's neigh, tried to gallop with his sister on his shoulders.- Put her down! - Elin's screech pawned her ears, and Lily tried in vain to shout down. I'm scared to even look! She glanced through her fingers at the race around the decorated Christmas tree.- You are the one to blame. Mitya jumped up and down cheerfully and laughed maliciously, exactly until his sister grabbed his ears. - Get it off, little one. The new ones won't grow back, you'll have to become a donor. - To which the girl's fingers pulled up with force. “Okay, okay, relax your fingers. Small, but clung like a ma
