WOLF MARK 27
“Well, that’s enough,” I said. My voice sounded rather harsh, and I froze in anticipation of the consequences. Here is my neck, and here is a huge mouth - one movement and they will prove to me that it is very rude to raise your voice. But the beast also froze. Either he considered my impudence, or he decided to heed my request. Thank God, second. One movement, and now I can breathe freely. It's amazing how nimble he is for such power. And now he sits and looks at me with the eyes of a cat from Shrek. Well, what to do with it - this is a forbidden trick!"Wait here," I pointed out. And she herself went to the bathroom to wash off the manifestations of puppy tenderness. The first thing that caught my eye was neatly stacked things on the floor. There was nowhere to put them, so Reed left them right on his boots.I washed up and returned to the room. My Hachiko felt at home. Already lay down on the bed, put his face on his paws and followed me with his eyes. There is nothing to do, the

How unlucky for you to contact me, - put an end to our dispute and turned to the window, offended. All our conversations come down to one thing - they come to a standstill.When we stopped at a roadside diner, I called David and Michael. They seem to have stopped a little early. We bought ourselves a burger and hot coffee. More specifically, I bought it. Reed did not give me the opportunity to pay myself, and ignored the money extended. Yes please. And almost simultaneously went to a high table without chairs. At least stretch your legs. “Sonya has already taken the bus to Laramie,” I told Reed as I scanned the messages. Yesterday she sent only one short message "at home", and today at ten o'clock her hungover selfie. If only she knew what a hungover morning I had! "She liked me," Reid said confidently. Suddenly.- I have no doubt - although I was taken aback by his words, but I did not take my eyes off the phone. I know it pisses people off, but now, I admit, I deliberately pissed

I was not the first to start this conversation, that the beast saw a couple in me. A beast, not a man - we almost went over to screaming. From overflowing emotions and because of the noise of the wind.- So it doesn't bother you? So, if I started courting you from the beginning, as a person, would you be satisfied? But it's not my fault you've been away from the pack for four years. I didn't need anything from you. Especially from you, given the reason I left the pack.- Oooh, back to childhood insults, - Reed rolled his eyes, - We were children, Lark.- It's good for you to say this - we were children. You had a good childhood, didn't you? I don't have much. And it’s certainly not for you and your friends to tell me to forget old grievances, - I almost pointed my index finger at him in anger, - Only recently I thought that you were repenting. But I was mistaken - I went around Reed and went back to the shore.“I apologize for acting like a freak then. And for not stopping others. Bu

After paying, I locked myself in the toilet. What happened with me? Have we changed places? Now I'm always looking for his attention, and he ignores me? I washed my face with cold water to bring myself to my senses. Still slapped in the face, so that she would not suffer from stupidity.Coffee was waiting for me next to the car. But Michael held it on a stand. He put the burden on the roof of the car while he pushed David. My gaze automatically began to search for Reed - he was standing at the entrance of the store, drinking coffee and watching the passengers of the tour bus. Those were noisily unloaded outside.- Yours - I looked around - Michael handed me a glass."Thank you," I smiled languidly and looked at David. He looked sleepy, still hooded up to his eyes, and sipped his hot drink.- There is a hunt, - the dormouse gave a voice.- I already ate a hot dog - this is Michael. When did you have time?- Lark? - David crawled out of the car, buttoned his jacket tightly and waited fo

We undressed at the entrance and went to a table at the back of the room. It was against the wall, so we were closed on three sides, and a trellised rack for bottles of wine separated us from the other table opposite us. Decorative, I think.The prices here were above average, but since I share a room with strangers, I can afford to eat at least decently. Things were still tense between Reed and me, but he sat down next to me, ahead of David. He noticed this and, chuckling, landed opposite.The order was brought to us quickly, apparently, there were few visitors. In our half of the bar, voices were heard only at two tables. We made plans for the next day, trying to figure out how to get more sightseeing in Chicago - at our next stop. Suddenly Reed tensed up next to me. I squinted in his direction, he looked tensely into the farthest half of the hall from us. I looked closely - there were no people visible behind the backs of the sofas, and it was too dark to see anything.- What are y

"That's it," Trent drawled. He looked at me for a bit, and then his interest disappeared just as quickly. Slowly, as if at a tea ceremony, he took a sip of his coffee, gesturing with his hand for Reid to follow suit. But Reed ignored this gesture as well. - And for how long did you leave the reservation?"How will it work," Reid replied colorlessly.- How did Morgan and your mother let you go for such an indefinite period?“They support my thirst for learning,” Reed seemed to be tired of pretending to be indifferent, and the ironic notes in his words did not escape the former alpha. All ostentatious cordiality fled from his face for a second, but he quickly controlled himself, and the mask returned to its place.- Great, I left my son in safe hands.- Lana's friends are waiting for her outside. And, of course, they are worried that she has been gone for so long.Trent didn't even look in my direction. He silently examined his son for several seconds, as if considering whether to let u

"What else did they say," he asked meanwhile.- Yes, nothing special, - I squandered the conversation in my memory, - You were discussed. They said that you are alpha and would bend them.- Correctly think, - he grinned.After sending the message, he looked at me. Thoughtfully, still sorting through the options, he just caught my eye. And maybe he wanted to find the answer.- I have to go back.- Okay, let's go. The guys will soon turn to the police, - I rushed from side to side, not knowing which way to go back."Home to Lovell," he said.-What? I turned to him.- I can't contact them.- You'll be in touch tomorrow.- You saw them. My help is still needed. I don't trust Trent.I took a deep breath. I didn't trust either.- Do you think they will attack the flock? I asked doubtfully.- Hardly, not the ratio - he ran over his face, and then through his hair, arguing - They are renegades. We have heard of these. For one reason or another, they have been expelled from their packs, they f

“You're right, maybe I'm useless,” my eyes stinged dangerously, but I managed to control myself, “but I want to be close to my aunt if something threatens her. Instead of waiting in another state for news from a place where even the phone does not catch. And I can fly without you."I've decided, then," he murmured.- Yes.- Great, - he walked past me and sat down on a bench in the waiting room. I hung around for a bit, and then asked:- Did you buy a ticket to Casper with a transfer in Denver?“You can fly without me,” Reid quipped.I gritted my teeth in anger, but I didn't want to back down. It is unlikely that he did not have time to react, rather he was taken aback when I abruptly grabbed his hand with a ticket and looked at the flight number. Releasing my wrist just as quickly, without looking at Reed, I turned around and hurried for the ticket. How did I not stumble, feeling such a gaze on me. My guess turned out to be correct, Reid bought a ticket to Casper. The queue moved slo
