LOGINSasha remained silent for a moment, then pointed at Umbra.“And that’s his name?”“Umbra.”The creature slowly turned its head toward Sasha, and he remained still.“He heard that.” Sasha whispered.“He hears everything.” Alexei said, smiling.Sasha pointed at Umbra again.“And you just decided to hide this?”“I was busy trying to understand what the hell had happened to me.” He answered, and Sasha nodded.“Okay… that’s an acceptable explanation.”Sasha took a step closer, and Umbra remained still. He tilted his head, analyzing the creature.“He’s huge as hell. Same size as your Lycan.”“That’s the form he takes now.” Alexei explained. “Only less corporeal.”Dmitry narrowed his eyes.“Before, he was the silver-gray Lycan you used to see.” Alexei continued. “That was how he appeared when I felt that presence, when I heard the voice in my head. I believed I was seeing my own Lycan.”Sasha looked at the creature again.“So when you transformed, that form was his?”“Yes.”“But it was also
The Rurik war room looked more like an arsenal than a room that late afternoon.Maps occupied the central table, access routes to the Western Port were marked in red, photographs were scattered among the communication equipment, and there were enough weapons on the workbench to make any sensible human reconsider the idea of entering that property.Sasha was analyzing one of the routes while Dmitry remained in front of the main map, and Alexei was on the other side of the table, in silence, his eyes scanning the markings without really seeing them.“The main entrance is discarded.” Dmitry pointed to one of the markings, his voice firm. “Too much security. If we enter through here, they’ll notice before we even reach the warehouses.”Sasha ran his finger over another route, leaning over the map.“We can enter through the secondary road. The cargo movement is intense; no one will find another vehicle strange.”“Too exposed.” Dmitry shook his head. “Not enough cover.”“From the west side?
Carla found Susan in the living room shortly after breakfast. Demyan was sitting on the rug, completely focused on a small toy that definitely should not exist in a house where someone still intended to maintain some appearance of normality.It was a kind of small fluffy dragon made of fabric, with tiny wings and eyes made of shining stones. Every time Demyan squeezed its belly, the toy released a small cloud of golden sparks and changed color.Carla remained observing for a few seconds, her eyes following the movement of the sparks.“Is that safe?”Susan raised her eyes from the book she was holding, a discreet smile on her lips.“It was a gift from Lyra.”“That wasn’t my question.” Carla answered, still looking at the dragon.“Technically, yes.” Susan shrugged.Demyan squeezed the toy again, and a small explosion of light came from the wings, illuminating the boy’s face.“Technically?” Carla repeated, raising an eyebrow.“She’s a fairy. You know how fairy gifts are.”“Exactly why I
Alexei pulled Carla’s hips up, leaving her on all fours. With the front of her body still lying on the bed, her ass was raised for him, and the sight made the air catch in his lungs for a moment.She was completely soaked — the pink, swollen pussy, and his cum slowly running down, sliding over her cheeks, mixing with her own honey that dripped down her thighs. Alexei spread her with both hands, his thumbs separating the soft lips, and Carla moaned, her entire body trembling at the touch.“So beautiful.” He murmured, his hands squeezing her ass possessively. “So perfect for me. Every centimeter of you seems made to measure.”“Alexei…” Her voice came out muffled against the sheets, loaded with impatience and desire.“Shh.” He leaned in, and without warning brought his mouth to her pussy, thrusting his tongue inside, licking the soaked folds with reverent hunger.Carla let out a sharp moan, her fingers gripping the pillow. Alexei licked everything — every fold, every crease, the pulsing
The kiss still burned on Alexei’s lips when he pulled away just enough to look at Carla. The light from the fireplace in the anteroom danced over her face, drawing golden shadows on her warm skin, and he felt — not noticed, felt — that she wanted more. It was not urgency, nor despair; it was a slow, patient hunger that was beginning to spread through her body like a gentle fire.“You know what I want now.” Carla murmured, her eyes fixed on his, her voice loaded with an intimate certainty.“I do.” Alexei answered, and there was no arrogance in the reply — only the calm certainty of someone who knew every nuance of that emotion.“This is getting scary.” She smiled, her fingers rising to the back of his neck, tangling in the blond strands.“Only with you.” He answered, his voice low, eyes locked on hers.“That doesn’t reassure me.” Carla laughed, but the laugh dissolved when he pulled her onto his lap.“It wasn’t meant to.” Alexei smiled, and there was something dangerous in his smile.I
Carla woke up a little after nine the following morning. This time, there was no longer that sensation of being trapped inside her own body. She was still tired, and the sedative seemed to have left a strange weight in her muscles, but her head was clearer.She opened her eyes slowly and found Alexei sitting near the window, a notebook open on his legs, some documents beside him and the phone on the table.Working, but not completely. Because the moment Carla woke, he raised his eyes.“Better?” The voice came out low, attentive.She nodded, and he immediately closed the notebook.“How’s your head?”“Heavy.” Carla answered, her voice still hoarse.“Nausea?”“No.”“Dizziness?”“A little.”He stood up from the chair and approached the bed.“Then don’t get up. Stay lying down.”Carla let out a soft laugh.“I wasn’t even trying to get up.”“Good.” He sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes scanning her face. “You slept for several hours.”“Did you stay here the whole time?”“I did.”She obser
As soon as the elevator doors closed behind her, Susan let out a shaky sigh. The seconds until she reached the apartment felt eternal.When she finally entered, she locked the door with more force than she intended, dropping her bag on the narrow cabinet beside the entrance and kicking off her heel
The drive to the Rurik Motors headquarters was made in absolute silence. The city pulsed outside, indifferent to the storm swirling inside him.Dmitry kept one hand firmly on the wheel and the other supporting his chin, his eyes fixed on the road, but his mind far away. He needed to focus. He had m
Dmitry opened his eyes and knew he was no longer in the waking world.It wasn’t the first time.That luxurious hall, with its ancient architecture and silent opulence, had welcomed him before. A distorted reflection of reality, perhaps. Or an ethereal plane that only existed in the intersections be
“This is going to be a problem, Alpha.”The Lycan murmured in his mind, its voice low and drawn out, like a warning whispered through clenched teeth.Dmitry didn’t respond. He moved his wrist discreetly, checking his watch as if trying to remind himself that time still followed rules. It was an exc
