Novel & Cerita Varka

VVVVV “Give me a shot” a woman said sliding onto the stool beside Takashi. The bartender turned and got to work. “I haven’t seen you around before. Who are you?” the woman asked like she couldn’t care less. Geiru did say to introduce himself. “Takashi Fujiwara”. He felt the change of atmosphere, like everyone stopped what they were doing, but he knew it was only in his head. “Any relation to Dai Fujiwara?” she asked looking interested.

wow…. “It seems like you are going for a wedding” one of the makeup artist couldn’t help but squeal in excitement, “I am a lady but I can’t keep my eyes off of you” Aura smiled as she twirled in front of the mirror, even though she couldn’t keep her own eyes off of herself. Her phone rang again and she immediately answered when she saw the caller ID. “Are you ready?” Malcolm’s deep husky voice filtered into her ears. “Yes I am” she beamed.

"Second group — Vito, Lorenzo, Salvatore — you’ll be working the docks near Baia Sant'Angelo. They’ve been quiet for too long, and quiet never means nothing. Stay sharp." Vito’s fingers tapped against his belt, restless. He always hated waiting, but the docks required patience. I hoped he'd find some before the day was through. "Third group," I said, meeting the eyes of the last cluster. "Matteo, Davide, Giovanni — you're with me. We'll take the northern road through Monte Ferrano. Reports say there's been movement between there and Villa di Corvo. Could be shipments, could be bodies moving in and out. Either way, we’re getting answers tonight."

I read the label etched along the barrel. Vargo's eyes widened, and without a word, he darted to the next crate. He tore it open like a child on Christmas morning. "A fucking M-16?" he laughed. "No...wait. This is an ARX-500 Helix. Holy shit." He cradled it with a strange kind of affection, popping out the mag, checking the chamber, sliding the parts with practiced hands. "This thing's been customized to hell. You could tear down a building with this."

I'd seen it in a book somewhere. Then his teeth flashed and I clocked it. A Dvergar. No question. Craft-blood practically oozed off him. He had an impish smile — all small teeth and delight, no caution at all. He talked with his hands, fast, animated. I stared. Vasska returned to my side, voice dropping into a low mutter. “Yasha Fenvari. The fox-blood.” Now I knew her last name but Vasska didn’t sound too pleased.

The words settled heavily, twisting uncomfortably with everything I had already been told. Before I could push further, movement beside me shifted the air. Corin stepped forward. Not slowly. Not cautiously. There was purpose in it, something controlled, but firm. “Varka.” The name cut cleanly through the space. I froze. My head turned toward him, the unfamiliar word echoing in my mind before I looked back at her. Varka. The name settled into place far too easily. Too naturally. Like it had always belonged to her. She turned her gaze toward him, her expression tightening just slightly, not in anger, but in acknowledgment.

"Yes, I am." A smile played on his lips, but his expression showed nothing. "Then I should introduce myself. I am Vargr, and I am a secret adviser to Alpha Darius." His voice was smooth and deliberate. Lena frowned. "An adviser. Then why are you here." Vargr turned toward the water fountain, and his fingers touched the edge of the stone. "To think," he said. "This place is sacred to the Alpha, and no one is allowed here except him." His gaze went back to her. "And yet, here you are."

While I had been busy getting launched across the sands like unwanted luggage, Varka had somehow turned the beasts into obstacles rather than threats. She slipped around one charging creature, avoided another without breaking stride, and even used their movements to reposition herself, all while keeping her attention exactly where it had been from the start. On me. That realization settled heavily in my chest. She had done something like this before. Maybe not this exact match. Maybe not these exact beasts. But there was a familiarity in the way she moved that couldn’t be faked. Every decision looked practiced. Every adjustment looked natural. Whatever terror

Shelly remarked shaking her head. "This car is a Bugatti La Voiture Noire, this baby is eighteen point seven million dollars," Kiara explained to her nerdy friend. "You ought to know all these things," Shelly added. "Who's ready to take this baby for a test drive?" Kiara asked excitedly, trying to contain her excitement. "I sure am." Shelly smiled. "Guys that thing looks fast." Cindy squeaked as they pulled her in. Turning on the engine, Shelly drove off.
