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
On the trail of the wolf 31
The wolf is not a shepherd, the goat is not a gardener,or everything is not going according to plan.As I moved to the communal houses, I staggered slightly from exhaustion, trying to control the weakness in my body. It was already dark outside, clearly letting me know that I spent much more time in the underworld than I planned. Obscurantism!Beast sighed sympathetically, because, unlike me, she felt great. I'm just glad that our connection is in order. Anya's warning about severing ties with the she-wolf stuck firmly in my head.- Where have you been? - I didn’t have time to go into the house, when instead of greetings I received a question from Stas.Andrey was also here, lounging on the sofa, flipping through some book. Annie was nowhere to be seen.- First, at Mitrich's, - I decided not to dissemble, saying everything as it is, - then I moved to Akulina.Catching two dissatisfied looks, I had to explain why I went there at all. And brag about what I got as a result of an unplann

While the boys were trying to figure out among themselves which of them fell asleep when he was supposed to be on guard, and because of whom they both almost gave me to be eaten by an entity from the Navi world, I just shrugged.- Could an oath of allegiance give protection similar to that of a family? - Stas asked his wife, appraisingly following the skirmish between his son and Vitya. The latter continued to sort things out, not paying attention to us.“Perhaps,” Anya drawled, “the oath of allegiance itself implies protection and a willingness to give one's life, but it works a little differently. Maybe it also worked that they slept together? Bodily contact could act as a catalyst for a defensive reaction ... - the witch said the last phrases to herself.And two things began to dawn on me. The first is a good one, because we, albeit by accident, found a way for me to survive with the parasite. The second - I have not yet decided how bad it is, but it seems that now I will not sleep
On the trail of the wolf 33
Wolves are caught not by a race, but by a trick,or retribution for recklessness.I quickly found myself next to Akulina, this time the transfer went without surprises. Except for the insane weakness that washed over me in a sharp wave, along with an attack of nausea.- Hi! - Having thrust papers from the king directly into Lina's hands, I lay down on the grass next to her, trying to come to my senses. - No food, read! But fast!- What is it?“I have no idea, they are clean for me, the king specially wrote for you,” closing my eyes, I muttered in response, trying to even out my breathing. - Well, your family drove me today!- Our family? - the princess was surprised and rustled the papers, obviously starting to read the contents of the instructions.While she was silent in concentration, I felt a little better. I was even able to feel a connection with the she-wolf, albeit a little weak. It was as if someone had erected an invisible concrete wall between us. Pleasant little, but I hop

- Yes, - after overeating and blissfully leaning back in her chair, Lina said decisively. - He doesn't have it. Threw it away, can you imagine?- Not reading! - I added to her story, destroying the cakes brought to us.Svyatoslav tiredly covered his eyes with his hand, uttering to himself, it seems to me, a few selective curses.- Tsar Svyatoslav, - interrupting the silence that reigned in the hall, a stately man in dark red robes entered us with a bow. - Tsar Belogor has come to you and asks for an immediate audience.“Vasilesk, take Akulina away immediately,” the king ordered in a whisper, getting up, showing Sasha to follow him with his hand.Akulina was unable to orientate herself in what was happening, as she was taken by the hand by her husband and quickly led out of the hall. As soon as they got out, the snake completely grabbed the princess in his arms, despite her protesting cries.Putting aside the last cake, I quickly caught up with them. The snake's brother and his wife al
On the trail of the wolf 35
I fell like a wolf into a sheepfold,or reckless actions and their consequences.The territory of the former community of Stanislav and Vladimir.Arthur stood with his back to the bed, where with each new hoarse breath life left his father's body. Father? The man smiled bitterly. Rather, a leader, because as a real father, Arseny never showed himself. Maybe that's why his heir did not feel any emotions suitable for such a situation right now. No pain, no suffering, no desire to prevent the light tread of Mara, the Goddess of death, who is about to come to take the soul of a man. Nothing. When my mother died, everything was different. She and her sister did not leave her bed, praying to all existing Gods and spirits, asking them to delay the inevitable. Now it wasn't like that.Arthur was tormented only by the expectation. After all, as soon as Arseniy dies, he will need to go out to the wolfdogs of the community and declare his rights as the leader of the pack.- Arthur? - Quietly ope
On the trail of the wolf 36
Nightmares from the world of Navi did not torment me. Where can they come from? All instincts are extinguished, I drank the tincture regularly, according to the instructions, although this did not give me optimism. All in all, it was one of the most boring months of my life.On the thirty-first day of detention, Bestia and I decided to shake off the dust and visit Lina. Still, a month without a change in hypostasis and the life of an almost ordinary person should have completely restored all my internal reserves. In any case, I didn’t have the strength to sit at home anymore! Therefore, having charged the amulet and making sure that it works, I skipped off to change clothes.Quickly getting ready, I pulled on my favorite black jeans, a turtleneck and a leather jacket. Strangely, my heart was a little restless, but I could not find objective reasons for excitement. I haven't had this in a long time. Has the paranoia kicked in?Having moved to the underworld, I first of all went to Svya

“If it consoles you,” Yulka turned to Akulina, watching out of the corner of her eye as her son purposefully crawled along the carpet in my direction, “Misha had exactly twenty of them.Lina rolled her eyes in pain, giving me another bout of amusement. She's weird, though. Like a man, but like a purebred too, however, not fully included in the force. But it's not that. Her emotions, intentions, actions ... Everything is so pure, or what? Despite her sarcasm and thorns in her character, Lina became my friend. Real girlfriend.There is a connection between us that cannot be explained in words. Not the same as they have with the snake, of course, but something very similar to this. Maybe it's a matter of similar fates? Yet we were both betrayed and trampled on, but we both managed to get back on our feet. And even though our stories are very different from each other, there are common links in them.After sitting a little more and talking about nothing, I noticed that Lina no longer retu
