Vladimir
After the physical training, I go to eat lunch. The lady who serves the lunch in the Delta House is Asian, but she reminds me of Mrs. Radu.
“You must be Vladimir. You poor thing. Look how thin you are. I have your food right here, honey. Eat well so you can be strong soon and kick the ass of all those that harmed you,” she says with a Korean accent. “I am Mrs. Ae-Ri. If you want more food or are hungry at any time of the day, come to the kitchen. I will always have food for you.”“Th-Thank y-you,” I say and take the trait of food. I look at the food, but I am not sure what I have received. I recognize sausages and rice and some green veggies.I take a look at the cafeteria, but most tables are occupied. Suddenly I see a hand in the air, pointing at me and then at a table.“Vladimir, here,” I hear the voice of WillVladimirTen days have passed since I started my life as a cadet. I am already starting to gain weight, and muscles begin to form. I don’t get as tired as at the beginning when I am in the gym with Faby.“Excellent, Vladimir! Today you did your routine without needing to take a break. You are much stronger than in the beginning. Look how those muscles are forming. I think that tomorrow we can start with more complex exercises. What do you think?”“S-Sounds g-good,” I say.It feels good to see Faby being proud of me. He is a good male. Strict, but good. I respect him and his opinion.After the gym, I go to the training grounds. Old Tom is showing us how to do arm wrestling.“Vladimir, pair up with William.”Old Tom always pairs me with William because he knows I don’t stand a chance against the big guy.Five
ElenaI have been tracking my enemy, Mihnea, for over a month now. The snow is crunching under my paws while I run in the Siberian taiga.My informer told me that Mihnea is hiding in a remote village in Siberia. I just hope I won’t get there too late.I have been running for the last two days and one night nonstop, and it is almost nightfall when I reach the village. As I approach the houses, I shiver, but not from the cold. I can feel something is wrong. No lights in the windows, and no smoke is coming from the chimneys. The smell of death is heavy in the air.As I step into the village, I instantly become sick. The snow is tainted with blood, and the corpses of villagers are out on the street. Humans and werewolves alike fought and died together. As I walk further, I see that not even the children are spared. I start to feel sick because I have seen nothing like this
VladimirI have been following the aura for about fifteen minutes when we get to a lake. Here I lose track of the aura, but I can tell the rouge is here. I can hear his heartbeats and feel his breath on my skin. My instinct tells me he is above us, in the trees. I tug William by his sleeve and point up at the three. He studies the canopy for a moment and nods. We try to move as silently as we can on the snow. We keep checking the canopy, but we can’t see anything.A minute later, from above, drops the rogue. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to react because he drops behind Williams and gets a hold of him, putting a hunter’s knife at his neck. The rogue is not as tall as William, but he looks strong.“Think you can beat me, pups? I will kill you before anyone else can get here.”But a strange thing happens as I feel my wolf reaching the wolf of t
MarkI go to look for Vladimir. Everything that I have heard so far was not good. And Elena did say I have to take care of him.I look to the training grounds, but I don’t see him. I think where he could be when I see his female friend and the doctor going inside the Delta House. My mouth went dry and an icy shiver run down my spine. I walk towards the Delta House. I have a bad about this. The doctor inside the Delta House?I rush as fast as I can to Vladimir’s dormitory. The female and the doctor are already here, in front of Vladimir’s bed.They are talking in a low voice, and she looks very distressed. Neither of them seems to notice me.“This is not the first time it had happened,” she says to the doctor, “but it has never been this bad.”“I will take a look at him to be sure he is fine,” the doctor says.
VladimirWe follow the pup, Răzvan, in the forest. The thick snow crunches under our feet, and every time I breathe, I can see my respiration in the cold December weather. We make small talk while we walk. I ask the pup how old he is, and I tell him my name. He is intelligent and friendly.The Baciu Forest is mostly quiet, and I can understand why humans think it is cursed.“How much further?” Rose asks after we walk a while.“We are close,” the young pup says.Close to the lake, where William and I faced the rogue, Răzvan, stops.“I left the wolf pup in that tree hollow,” he says and points to an old tree that has a hollow at the bottom.And he goes to the hollow and retrieves a small wolf pup with grey and white fur. The tiny wold pup shivers with cold and looks to snuggle in the arms of Răzvan.“May I see it?&r
**Elena**“In my office! Now!” I say when no one answers.
MarkI never thought that someone would stop Elena once she is in her “kill now, ask later” mood, but Vladimir might have achieved the impossible.I make sure everyone is out of the office before I close the door.“You three,” I say to the cadets, “I want you available at any hour. Don't you even think about running. She will track you down and torture you to death.”I see them getting white as ghosts, but they nod.I pinch the bridge of my nose and close my eyes. I am so fucking dead.“Do you need anything?” I hear Rose asking. “You look kinda sick. Some sugar might help.”And she takes me by the hand and leads me to the cafeteria. Once there, she orders two Cokes and a hamburger, and we sit at a table.“Eat and drink,” she says.“Are you going to eat?” I ask.&
Vladimir“I name him Winter,” Răzvan says.I look at the wolf pup. Winter, huh?“I think it is a great name,” Rose says.“Winter it is,” I say and ruffle Răzvan's hair.After that, Răzvan leaves.“We should take the pup to the infirmary. Maybe the doctor can help us,” I suggest to Rose.We take Winter to the doctor, and with his help, we put the pup's leg in a cast.“I think he will make a full recovery with the proper care,” the doctor says.We get out of the infirmary, and I look at Rose.“If you still want to talk, we should go to my dormitory. This way, Winter will get to know where he will be living from now on,” I suggest to Rose.“Aren’t your roommates going to be inside? I want to have a private conversation with you,” she says.“It
