The men climbed the marble stairs. Oncoming people nodded in greeting or looked away in disbelief. There was an unnatural silence in the estate, which looked more like a medieval castle. Noise and bustle were not welcome here.Climbing up to the fourth, highest floor, they entered a spacious hall, slightly darkened, with many armchairs standing in groups or one at a time, sofas on low legs and coffee tables, absolutely clean. Reception here was expected for hours, and sometimes even days. Regardless of when you arrived, the Dark Vampire Prince himself decided whether he wanted to see the visitor or not. And if so, when.Arnar, Konstantin and Leo took their places at the back of the hall and looked around. This was not the first visit to the head of bloodsuckers, and little has changed in fifty years. Even the arrangement of the furniture remained the same.Ar, snorting softly at the sugary-sweet scent floating in the room, remained as calm as possible in the center of the vampire hive

- No! Vitaly said firmly, standing in the doorway of the gatehouse. — Sorry, Lily, but you're not going anywhere. He looked at the girl with sympathy, but a categorical refusal was read on his face. “I answer with my head for you and Elya, and for you, Vela.Mitya, not hiding his relief, slammed the car door, pressing the alarm button.“Mom is there, don’t you understand? - the girl continued to beg, fiddling with a knitted hat.“I understand perfectly well, and I also understand that perhaps this is a trap. Are you willing to risk yourself and your child? Vitaly asked.The girl shook her head negatively.“A trap… I don’t want to, of course,” she repeated quietly.The rumble of an approaching car was growing, there was a screech of brakes and a slam of the door.“Into the house,” shouted Vitaly, noticing that there was only one knock on the door. And he noted with relief that his guys behave as if there was no one behind the gates, or someone of their own had arrived.Vela grabbed Lil

The werewolf's hand sliced ​​through the air. He dabbed his fingers at the jacket, but did not have time, could not grab it. One moment, a fraction of a second, a brief moment - and the man's heart fell into the abyss. Rushing to the place where Lily had just stood, he spun around his axis and, with a guttural growl, rushed to the crowd.It was impossible to believe that the suicide had accidentally chosen the time so well.Arnar did not hear the screams flying in the back, did not feel the hands trying to hold him back. Pushing people aside, he stood under the window, from which a man jumped out a few minutes ago.- Where is he?! shouted into the crowd. - Where? grabbed someone by the chest. The woman looked frightened, it seems that she did not understand what they wanted from her. - Where? repeated even louder."Ran away," a voice said nearby.- Where? - Ar followed the girl's palm and again broke into a run.Dodging between people, trying to catch the smell. I ran past a pair of t

Two people were surprised by the disappearance of Constantine, and it remains to be seen who was more surprised. A girl frozen at closed doors, or a vampire, and not just a vampire, but a prince! Who was signed up as a nanny against his will.Both kept silent. No one explained the rules of conduct under the ruling vampire to Ela, and the girl, shifting from foot to foot, examined the man sitting in front of her. He was in no hurry to break the silence or at least somehow hint at what should be done. The prefix to the name "prince" was frightening, and the knowledge that he was the Dark One was even more frightening. Although Elya had no idea what the difference between Dark and Light was, the corners of her lips twitched in a smile when she remembered the coffee advertisement and the degree of roasting of the beans. Associations with beer with force brushed aside, as the fantasy tossed unfiltered vampires. Thanks TV!Communication with Konstantin, whom the girl had known since childho

- How is she? Leo asks, holding out his hand for a handshake, sucking in air and wincing. What did the prince need?Who are you more interested in? Lily or Alexander?Konstantin deliberately avoids answering. There are enough problems even without the fact that the prince will soon lay claim to the younger Rokotova. It was clear even to a fool: no one will experience delight from such a relationship - neither Vela, nor the rest of the clan. And when Elya tells who pushed them to get acquainted, and also left them alone with the ruling one, a scandal cannot be avoided. And no arguments about worrying about Leela can calm and restrain an angry mother."Lily," he answered without hesitation. - Child?- Exhausted. - The vampire indicated the direction with his palm, inviting him to the office. - I'm not sure that she will be able to leave the term before the end. If I don't see any improvement in the coming week, I'll have to...- You are crazy? You can't get rid of the baby! Leo snapped
