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
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
And for the wolf and for the wolf,or return to the pack.Waking up, I stretched sweetly, opening my eyes and slowly turning over on my side. On a chair, next to the bed on which I was now sitting, Anya was sitting, not taking her eyes off me, expressing nothing. Usually Stas looked at me and Andrei like that when he caught on the next childishness.- How do you feel? The causticity in her question made me tense.And what kind of fly bit my favorite witch early in the morning? It seems that Dyusha and I have not done anything like this for a long time.- Yes, it seems good, - sitting down on the bed, and wrapping myself in a blanket, I looked at the witch in surprise. - Why am I naked? And what in general ... oh! - Having received from her a very tangible slap in the face, I sniffed offendedly. - For what?!And then my memory obligingly decided to remind me of recent events. Obscurantism!!! I was kidnapped by some wolves! Demons! And thrown into the dungeon. To Arthur, also chained th
- Did you hear that? I turned towards the witch, crossing my arms over my chest. - He slept with every skirt running after him, and only I was expelled! Was I really that bad in bed that...- Vladimir! Anya barked at me, not letting me complete the sentence.And how to understand it? Is she on his side? Beastia also widened her eyes in surprise, shrugging her shoulders in a dramatic way. No, I may have gone too far now, but if Arthur and the others didn’t have the intelligence to find out at least something about me from the outcasts, that’s their problem. And what each of those who came to visit me said in this room, I will not forget.- Wow, what a tense situation you have here! - came from the door the voice of a smiling Andrei, who turned his gaze to each person present in the room in turn. - Can you defuse? Have you heard the joke about how the naked Gray Wolf breaks into Little Red Riding Hood's bedroom? She says to him: “Gods! Wolf! Why are you so big…”- Andrew! Anya shouted a
Here the wolves are full, and the sheep are safe,or why people are not visible.Leaving the house, which was allocated to Anya to nurse me, I almost whistled. Each community had houses on its territory always in the same way. On the one hand, there was always an entrance to the territory of the pack, then vegetable gardens, residential buildings, the main square with a pedestal, and everything was closed by the main building in which the leader's family lived. There were both offices for work and meetings, as well as living quarters for the head of the pack himself and his family members. I was surprised by the fact that now the main building was not the last one!As far as I remember, it used to offer a beautiful view of the river. Now the river has somewhat changed its course, making a small detour. On the resulting improvised peninsula, the houses of outcasts are located. Houses of my community! We were heading towards them.- Mitrich helped, - noticing my amazement, Anya commente
“We were just following orders, Vladimira,” Igor added.After this conversation, I never saw my former guards again. But even without them, I had something to do and something to think about.I spent my nights now with Dyusha, now with Vitka. They really made a schedule, which terribly infuriated me, but no one took my objections seriously. The only good news was that from the third day of our stay in the flock, we spent these nights already in a new house, which I almost instantly fell in love with, as soon as I entered and looked around.On the ground floor there was a huge living room, combined with a kitchen and a dining room, visually divided into zones. Thus, several large sofas were combined here, standing opposite the TV and the fireplace; a dining table, at which twelve people could comfortably sit at a gala dinner; and a spacious kitchen, with many cabinets and household utensils, which Anna was very happy about.Three staircases led to the second floor, from each of which o
One wolf drives a regiment of sheep,or strange accidents.The morning was strange. I woke up as if from a shock, but I could not determine the cause of my excitement. Somehow getting out of the arms of Andrey, who, during our overnight stays, has recently gotten into the habit of using me instead of a pillow, and, having examined the bedroom, I did not find anything suspicious. Typical early morning. There were no strangers in the room ... or were there? The Bestia, who woke up inside me, caught someone else, but she couldn’t say who exactly. Someone opened our door! And it was definitely not Stas and Anya. Walking to the exit of the room into the corridor and sniffing, I caught the smell. Weak werewolf, girl. We could not determine more with the she-wolf, since an unknown person came to us about an hour ago. And who came to visit us? And most importantly - why?Having come to the conclusion that, most likely, it was one of the outcasts (after all, the local residents of the communit
