“This is Kitty,” Korotkov continued as if nothing had happened. Behind him, a projection of the video from her assignment from yesterday appeared on the wall. In the video, various weapons appeared out of nowhere in the girl's hands. From a pistol with a shotgun to a grenade launcher.

“The gunsmith,” Krotkov continued to explain. - The only one from her group that passed the test. And the only girl who made it to this stage.

Korotkov fell silent, and I mentally whistled at such a daring girl. Then there was a video with my fiery wolf and bear. For the first time I see myself in this form from the outside ...

“This is the Moon and the Bear,” Korotkov explained, pointing at me and the bear.

“So you are a gifted female!” Voronov was surprised, looking at me in a completely different way.

"You'd better not cross my path!" I growled, lighting a fire in my palm to prove my point.

“More and more interesting,” he said enigmatically. I just snorted in response and extinguished my magic.

Then came the image of a snow leopard. More precisely, the one who reincarnated as a snow leopard. I turned around. Behind me was a tall blond guy. To be honest, at first, I didn't even notice it.

"Bars," Korotkov introduced him. “In addition to being a beast like you, Luna, he is also an excellent doctor. Surgeon. It will heal if you get hurt. The best counterbalance to you,” Korotkov pointed his finger at me. “Learn restraint from him before you burn someone…”

“There were already snow teachers,” I whispered under my breath, remembering Wolf, my first man. So far, the only man I've let into my bed, letting him be on top. Come to think of it, I haven't thought of him in a whole year...

“I feel it,” Bars said in a barely audible voice. “You still smell like him. Snow Wolf.

- Shut your mouth, snowflake! I snarled, turning towards Bars.

Both shut up! Mikhail growled at us. We fell silent and stared at the last guy not introduced to us yet.

“A fox,” Korotkov introduced him. - Barrier. And my son as well. If a hair falls off his head, I'll kill you! - well, damn it, son, I thought, looking at a fairly attractive guy, that's just very young in face. “From now on, you don’t have names, only the nicknames that you just heard!”

“A funny company of freaks has gathered,” Fox commented to our bunch of freaks.

- Should we play mother's daughters with him? Kisa quipped. I agree, the guy was too young for military operations, the price of which will sometimes be his own life. And why would "daddy" let his son take such risks?

“And you try to kill me,” the Fox looked at her with a challenge in his eyes. Without thinking, the girl shot him in the head. In the blink of an eye, the guy had the same gun in his hand as Kisa had. And he fired the same. The bullets hit each other. Fuck the action! “If I were an ordinary teenager, then I wouldn’t be here,” he said, twisting the gun on his finger. “I can copy any of you.” He has now turned into me, lighting a fire, just like I did before. “Up to your abilities,” the Fox added in my voice. And I thought that nothing would surprise me ...

— But your copying time is limited! his father reminded him. - Also, you will have Pasha in your squad, he is a sensor. Squad leader - Michael.

“I broke the whole buzz,” the Fox said offendedly, changing his appearance.

“And you yourself will bring my funeral to my parents,” Pasha added, not at all joking.

Are you unsure about your new friend? - Voronov quipped, again deigning me with his disgusting look.

- Remind me how my last month's business trip ended? Pasha looked questioningly at Korotkov.

- This is when Voronov and his father almost killed each other? Fox interjected into their conversation. Pasha nodded. - No, you can’t leave them for more than a week.

“Even a child understands this,” Pasha sighed, staring at the screen of his laptop.

"I'm not a child anymore!" Fox retorted in an offended voice. How childish his indignation sounded ...

- This is not discussed! Korotkov snapped, sitting back down at his workplace.

“Yes, he doesn’t even have basic physical data!” Lis didn't give up. - Pasha is a super sensor, but they will kill him! He is a simple man! Lis shouted. “And then there will be no one to drag you around the corners,” he added in a barely audible voice.

- I already said! Korotkov barked at his son. - This is not discussed!

- Stubborn donkey! - shouted the Fox in response, absolutely not afraid of the wrath of the parent.

“Class,” I laughed. - The main one in our menagerie is a donkey, - everyone else picked it up, even Mikhail smiled. Maybe now I can get close to him and finally ask the questions that concern me ...

After a friendly laugh, our strict bosses drove everyone to the gym, but when I went out into the corridor, I decided to wait for Pasha, since the guy was “asked” to linger.

Do you need a special invitation? Mikhail growled at me, noticing that I was in no hurry to leave.

“I’ll wait for Pasha,” I replied, sitting down on the windowsill, ignoring his displeasure.

“They will figure it out themselves,” the alpha replied, sniffing the air.

Funny, he hadn't seen this kind of behavior before.

“Then you’ll go down to the others,” the man unexpectedly agreed, waving aside, when we were already alone, and then left after the guys.

He lit a cigarette to pass the time and thought. What was it now? Has the ice cracked? He had never made concessions before. And it was worth just sleeping with a guy ...

Rain drummed outside the window, drawing attention to itself. Autumn. I don't really like this time of year. Dampness and constant slush all around. At first, the streets are full of multi-colored paints, and then in one day they become gray, faceless. People began to hide under large umbrellas, trying to run home as quickly as possible without soaking branded clothes. Everywhere is turmoil and chaos.

Did you decide to wait for me? - Pasha joined me, but I didn’t even notice how he approached ...

“Yeah,” I replied, throwing my cigarette butt out into the street through the window, and caught the smell of Voronov behind me. This time the boss decided to ignore us and just walked by.

"Pasha," Korotkov called out to my new friend, locking the office door. - Can I give you a ride to the university?

“No,” the guy quickly replied, putting his hand on my knee. “I will stay here today.

- Are you walking? Korotkov winked, ignoring Pasha's vulgar gesture. - Do not walk for a long time, otherwise you will catch a cold.

“Okay,” I answered for the guy, covering his hand on my knee with my palm. I wonder how Korotkov will react to this? He knew that we slept together and said nothing. - What other tips would you like?

"Have sex with condoms," the man chuckled as he looked down at our entwined fingers. Pasha, on the other hand, tried very hard not to betray his disappointment, squeezing my palm almost to the point of turning blue. Leave the car keys?

“I don’t know how to drive a car,” the sensor snapped back, still unable to control his emotions. Then Korotkov handed me the keys.

"You know how to drive, but you don't want to," Korotkov chuckled again, pleased with the young lover's reaction. “Kostya,” he turned to me. - It doesn't matter to you, but he will blow it out once and go down with a cold for a month, so don't show off and take the keys.
