On the trail of the wolf 23
- 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

- No, - I shrugged my shoulders, for a moment, feeling myself again standing in the leader's office when he scolded me, - after spending the night with him, I never saw him again. Then the head of the clan spoke on his behalf, alpha - his father. That he is ashamed, that he succumbed to the provocation, that I disgraced my family, that I no longer deserve the right to be part of the clan ... Yes, he said a lot of things, it’s still disgusting to remember!- Strange ... - Akulina drawled, biting her lip thoughtfully.- What exactly?- His father spoke on his behalf. Could this be all a hoax? Well, you didn’t suit the leader, like a couple for your son, so you got rid of it, - the girl emotionally waved her hand. “But his son didn’t know about it, they made up a different version for him.“At first I thought so too, when my memory returned,” I smiled at her version, remembering with what blind recklessness I myself believed in it. - But you see, what's the catch - all the exiled werewol

- You are not alone, - remembering that none of the snakes of the underworld could see either the haze on Lina's family or her supper essence, I could hardly contain the chuckle that burst out, - Vasilesk did not understand either, although he checked.Unlike the tsar, Akulina noticed my grunting and gave me a sidelong glance.“Why didn’t you tell me right away?” – not paying attention to my suppressed fun, the king turned to his granddaughter. - If not to me, then at least to your fiancé? Do you understand what your escape turned out to be for him?“I didn’t know,” Akulina lowered her head dejectedly, but the despair that gripped her did not hide from me, “mother never told us about this part of her life. Yes, she never said anything about snakes or the underworld!- Us? - Svyatoslav asked in surprise.- In addition to Akulina, whom I kindly returned to the bosom of the family, - I answered for the princess, - I hasten to please you - you also have a grandson Alexander and another gr

Having reached the bed that was torn apart in places (yes, I didn’t replace it either, deciding that it would do anyway!), I undressed and fell asleep almost immediately, as soon as my head touched the pillow. But my serenity in the arms of sleep did not last long.***I was almost eighteen again. Long blond hair was loose and, obeying the gusts of wind, it was either thrown behind my back, or tried to cover my face. My bare feet froze to such an extent that I had long ceased to feel them, and I would certainly have fallen, stretched out on a wooden platform, to the delight of the assembled wolf-dogs, if not for a strong rope that securely held me close to the post in the communal square.The leader was saying something to the assembled werewolves, periodically pointing at me, but I did not hear a word because of the fear that seized me. There was only a frantic pounding of my heart in my ears, which, it would seem, would jump out of my chest a little more.Where is Arthur? Where?! Wh

Anya looked at me very strangely, not knowing what to answer. She didn't have to invent anything, as happy, like elephants, alphas entered the kitchen. I absolutely did not want to talk about this topic in front of Stas and Andrey. As with Vitka. Apparently the witch understood something, because by her gaze in my direction, I clearly read that we would talk later. Well, I'm more than satisfied with that.- Oh, Miryonysh! - Vitya patted me on the head, sitting down on a nearby chair. - Andrey told about the support of snakes - it's cool!- Did you doubt me?- What are you, baby, not in life! - making frightened eyes, whispered Vitka to me, smiling dazzlingly.I just laughed, looking at Andrew. Dyusha just waved his hand at me, turning all his attention to food.- How long have you been here? - Kissing his wife on the cheek, Stas asked me.- No, not really, - pushing my plate to Anya, laying out their portions for everyone, I smiled, - I would have come earlier, I would definitely have

- You have dishonored your family, Vladimir. You have dishonored our pack and community. So unworthy as you are not a place among us! And from this day on, you have no right to be here! - every word of Arseny fell into my soul like a stone, making me suffocate, as if from lack of air. “My son is very ashamed that he succumbed to your provocation and took possession of you. But he is a man, with his own needs, and he can be understood! But you are something else! You behaved like a rootless bitch, showing him your charms, provoking him to action! This is not worthy of the woman of our flock! No self-respecting female in our community would ever stoop to that! You are not a couple for Arthur, you never were and never will be! Today, before the inhabitants of our community, you will be cast out in disgrace, you little whore!With these words, he hit me in the face with his palm with such force that, unable to stay on my feet, I fell to the floor. I was shaking from pain, resentment, cold
On the trail of the wolf 29
- Hello, Mitrich! - I greeted the owner of the house and the forest, who habitually swarming in the kitchen, laying out dried herbs in clay pots.- And you do not get sick, Vladi ... - raising his head and looking at me, the goblin stopped short.Even stopped smiling, scowling and intently examining me.- Mitrich, what are you doing?“Sit down,” instead of answering, he pointed to one of the stools with his hand.I did not argue with the serious goblin, dutifully fulfilling the requirement.- So, so, - moving his hands over my head, Mitrich frowned more and more, - so ...I was silent, afraid of unnecessary questions to bring down his magic. After all, this is exactly what he was doing now - with the help of the forces of the forest he looked at me. Well, or looking for something in me. Conjured, in a word."Do you even know what's wrong with you?" - Having finished the manipulations, Mitrich sat down next to me, taking cups and brewed herbal tea out of the air.Once I decided to trea
On the trail of the wolf 30
- I'll jump.Taking a step back, I released Bestia to freedom, and a second later, a she-wolf as black as night itself stood in my place. Akulina obviously did not expect this, and nervously shied to the side, leaning her back against the door.- You should be warned! - she expressed her indignation to me, trying to calm down, and at the same time, examining my second hypostasis with interest.Of course, Bestia and I flattered her admiring emotions, but we didn’t want to waste time in vain. I had to growl a little and point the princess at the door with her paw.- Yes, I went, I went! Lina rolled her eyes as she left the room.Before she had time to close the door behind her, a new ditty spread around the district: “And just touch us - we are burning like wow!We are now boiling in the lake, we don’t want to hug them!”Standing up on my hind legs, I looked sadly at the croaking mermaids. Hmm! Svyatoslav was right, I didn’t think something when I suggested Akulina to sing songs in ord
