"Mary Janice Davidson - Wyndham Werewolves 05 - There's No Such Thing As A Warewolf" - читать интересную книгу автора (Davidson Mary Janice) тАЬYeah, yeah, pardon my un-fucking PCbehavior . Humans, okay, and never mind what they originated
from. No, really! They should beproud to be shaved apes.тАЭ тАЬTsk.тАЭ тАЬHey, IтАЩm glad I ran into you. You should head out to theCape , say hi to the boss and Moira and those guys. Did you hear Moira got hitched?тАЭ тАЬI did, yes. To a monkey, right?тАЭ тАЬYeah, wellтАжтАЭ Wade stretched; Drake could hear his tendons creaking and lengthening. Their change was very close. Luckily, adolescence was far behind them both; they would stay well in control. тАЬThe new alpha gal, Jeannie, she heard aboutтАжuhтАжshe noticed that none of the PackтАжuhтАжтАЭ тАЬWas cursed with a devastating handicap?тАЭ he asked pleasantly. He tapped his cane for emphasis. Wade coughed. тАЬAnyway, she hit the fucking roof when Michael told her the score, and they pissed and moaned about it for, like, a damn month, during which time our fearless leader was sonot getting laid, and finally Michael said it wasnтАЩt an automatic, it would be up to the parents, and they both had to agree.тАЭ Drake was silent. For the Pack, this was forward thinking indeed. Handicaps were so rare they were nearly unheard of, and when a Pack member was born blind, or deaf, or whatever, it had been tradition since time out of mind that the sire killed the cub. The dam was usually too weak from whelping, but was almost always in agreement. Hissire, however, had died in Challenge before his birth, and his mother had wanted him. Had hidden him away at the time so the well-meaning Pack leader, MichaelтАЩs father, couldnтАЩt find him and kill him. Had raised him defiantly and heartlesslyтАФabsolutely no quarter given, or asked. Drake had eventually left the Pack on his own, made his way toBoston , made a life among humans. Here, at least, he could hold his own. Humans didnтАЩt care about Challenges. They didnтАЩt evenknow about them. тАЬWell, maybe I will pay them a visit,тАЭ he lied. тАЬItтАЩs been a long time.тАЭ Michael hadnтАЩt even been pack leader when heтАЩd leftтАжMoira had been a precocious brat, one of the few whoтАЩd tried to talk him out of leaving. No. Done was done. тАЬA long time?тАЭ Wade was saying. тАЬYeah, like about twenty years. ItтАЩs a little different now. MichaelтАЩs a modern dude. No one will fuck with you.тАЭ тАЬThanks for passing on the news. But I didnтАЩt leave because I was afraid of being fucked with.тАЭ тАЬYou did win all your Challenges,тАЭ Wade admitted. тАЬI left because I was never allowed to be myself.тАЭ тАЬYou think youтАЩre allowed thathere ? In Monkey Central?тАЭ |
