Having gone out into the clearing and having found Andrey nearby, I turned to the she-wolf. The beast seemed to be just waiting for this, sending the thought that she was ready to try to spread again.Well, come on, dear! This time we will succeed!Looks like a sheep, but smells like a wolf,or everything comes with experience.Five years later...Will you pay by card or cash? - A pretty girl at the checkout with a smile glued to her lips turned to me, watching out of the corner of her eye as her assistant puts purchases in the store's branded bag.- With a card, - handing her a credit card, I turned slightly to the left, pretending to straighten my hair, looking into one of the mirrors hung everywhere.I was actually checking to see if my guards were missing. No, the boys are here! Funny. For the sixth hour I walk under their strict control around the shopping center.- Thank you for shopping! - the girl returned the card to me, holding out three weighty packages. We will be glad to
Without wasting time on unnecessary reasoning, I scratched my finger with my fingernail and activated one of Anya's amulets that imitated my presence in the apartment, sprinkling it a little with my blood. Now you don't have to worry about the guards - for three days they will be completely sure that I am here. We can only hope that Mitrich just decided to use the phone, and nothing out of the ordinary happened. Hope was fragile, but at least something! I didn't mean to panic. Whatever it is, I have plenty of time to deal with the problem. Beast growled in agreement, habitually listening to her surroundings.It was already dark outside the windows and there were no people walking on the street. Putting on new stiletto boots, and taking a leather jacket and a clutch with documents and a phone just in case, I gently jumped out of the window, landing on the sidewalk near the house. Still, jeans are not suitable for such somersaults, otherwise how to explain the protesting crackle of the
Live with wolves, howl like a wolf,or a little about useful acquaintances.I was sitting on a couch, at the feet of the newly-minted princess, waiting for the moment when she wakes up. Mitrich was bustling about at the stove, preparing us his signature pies, the mere aroma of which made my stomach rumble loudly. The girl's name was Akulina, as the goblin enlightened me, and, judging by her revived emotions, she should just wake up.- Good morning, Akulina, - I greeted the girl, as soon as she opened her eyes. She, in response, was frightened and jumped up on the bed, miraculously not throwing me from her familiar place. - I see you are better now, since you are jumping like that!Goblin was not mistaken - the girl really is. And although at the moment she didn’t smell of anything inhuman, her eyes betrayed her with her head. Like all nagas who are in power and related to the royal family, Akulina's pupil changed color from black to sparkling gold and constantly changed in size, pulsa
“Don’t worry about this,” the goblin waved his hand, “they are people, even though one of them is a former princess.” They weren't worried about you.- And what, that they are people? – sincerely surprised girl. Do you think people don't care about their children?- He meant that the trouble was on them, - I answered for Mitrich, and, seeing her complete misunderstanding, once again I began to explain in more detail. - As soon as an ordinary mortal girl enters the possession of the Nagas in the status of a bride, all her relatives and friends live in a happy delusion that she is somewhere in another city or country, absolutely happy and with a groom, from whom they are usually under the influence trouble, just absolutely delighted!And also this same hassle could be used to hide something from prying eyes. For example, a small community of exiled werewolves. But I didn't say it out loud to her. On it, and so new knowledge is poured in a continuous stream, it does not have time to lear
There will be a wolf at the withers,or a princess at home.Despite all my internal fears, Akulina was almost not nervous. No, the jitters, of course, were present, but nothing more. My companion even seems to have forgotten about her completely unpresentable appearance, looking forward to a conversation with her parents. She was so focused on the questions that interested her that even her hands stopped trembling, which I noticed when Akulina rang the doorbell.- Lina? - The door was opened to us by a spectacular blue-eyed blonde, very frightened, barely looking at the newly-minted princess. “God, what happened?” You should be in England now...Akulina barely spared the girl a look, having experienced such strong contempt that I unconsciously let some of her emotions pass through me. And only thanks to Bestia, and the simultaneous monitoring of the feelings and emotions of the second girl, she was able to emerge from this state.- What's happening?! - The blonde watched in fright as
“I’ll probably leave you,” standing up and listening to the she-wolf’s clues about the blonde’s movements, I smiled at Akulina, “Lina, I’ll be back in the morning, tell me what you decided and where you are staying. Today you don't need my sweet ears and sensitive hearing. Oddly enough, it's safe here. Here, - I took it out of the clutch and put a business card with my phone number on the table, - if anything, call!Without waiting for an answer from them, I quickly left the apartment, and, running out into the street, I managed to intercept Vasilisa, who was really heading home.“You can’t,” I smiled at her, slightly increasing my fangs and clattering my teeth, “mommy and sister haven’t finished yet!”- Crazy! - the blonde snapped at me, but, apparently being impressed by my grin, she did not make any attempts to pass me by.So we stood for several hours, while Bestia listened to what was happening at Akulina's house. I released Vasilisa only when I received information from the she-
My fears that the night outing with Andrey and the corral of Vitka with his passion would drag on until the morning were completely justified! Only with the first rays of the sun we returned home, laughing and exchanging impressions of tricks.He will kill us! - Without hiding a smile, Dyusha delivered a verdict to us, yawning heartily.- Not us, but you! I chuckled, patting him on the shoulder. - It's time for me to move to Akulina.- This is unfair! Peace…I didn’t listen to my brother, moving away from him towards the trees, quickly activating Mitrich’s ring and leaving in the park, almost at the very house of the newly-minted princess.- And life in general is an unfair thing, - she giggled under her breath, heading towards the front door I needed.Andrey could be understood - we teased Vitka so much that he chased us for half the night not with the aim of offering to run a race! And he found something to be angry about! Just think, the she-wolf, secluded with him, was very fright
- What do you think? I answered her just as quietly.The transition to the lower world itself was not marked by anything. Just literally a few meters away from us, the forest from autumn daytime and sunny turned into summer and night.- Fuck off! Akulina exhaled, getting up from the ground, and turning her head, looking either at the Moon, visible beyond the transition line in the underworld, or at our bright sun. Do we just have to go there?I only nodded in response, turning to Vasilisa to ask her to come closer to us. I did not really want to take risks, and according to the plan, it would be better for us to make the transition all together, at the same time. But the girl's emotions puzzled me a lot. She looked at us absently, feeling only incomprehension. Even the feeling of guilt that was always with her receded into the background, becoming almost imperceptible. As well as a sense of shame in front of his sister.- Where to go? Vasilisa puzzled me. - What are you about?- What
