Under The Moonlight Chapter Thirty Two
RPOV We entered the cafeteria only to be greeted by the succulent smell of bacon. I wasn't kidding when I said I was starving. Dimitri had really taken a lot out of me, of course, I'd taken a lot out of him, too. I saw Eddie and Mason walking over to us. "Whatever you have to say, save it for until after I eat," I said turning to go get food. I heard them both chuckle, but they left me alone. I felt Dimitri a few feet behind me observing my actions and my surroundings, but I was already on top of all that. This whole situation was getting more and more complicated. It was my job as an Alpha to protect my pack. Guarding Lissa was just not a part of that, but Dimitri is part of my pack, too, but it's his actual job to protect me. I knew my pack members would always protect me, but I couldn't let them put themselves in harm's way just for me. "That was our pledge, Roza," Dimitri whispered in my ear, causing me to shiver as his breath tickled my skin. "We pledged our loyalty to you. T
Under The Moonlight Chapter Thirty Three
DPOV First impression: I didn't like this guy. Next impression: At least he knows who the real Alpha is. Subsequent impressions: I can probably live with this guy. Well, unless I threw a fit, I'd have to live with this guy. Derek, Rose, and I had a meeting with Alberta later to discuss the living arrangements. If I had it my way, Rose would be rooming with me and Derek would get her old room. I had a feeling that Rose would be staying with me anyway, regardless of what Alberta had to say. Through intense interrogations, I discovered that Derek and I had more in common than I'd care to admit. Like most Lycanthrope I've met, Derek was born Lycanthrope, not bitten. He was born and raised in a small town in Arkansas where he was taught to be a Guardian by his father, a Lycanthrope, and a few Guardians that lived in the area with their Moroi. When he was sixteen, he was sent to an academy to train and graduate. He, too, had lost a charge early in his guarding career. Abe took him in wh

RPOV Dimitri's anxiety had been a constant hum in my life for the past three weeks. At first, I thought it was Derek's presence in the suite and around me, but when the anxiety persisted after they started getting along, I knew something was wrong. However, every time I asked him what was bothering him, he'd say it was nothing. He even had the gall to tell me that he wasn't bothered by anything like I couldn't feel what he was feeling. I knew the rest of the pack couldn't sense his ever-present anxiety, it was just me. The day after Derek joined us we fell into a comfortable routine. Dimitri and I would wake in the morning, me getting a little more sleep than I was used to, and Dimitri getting less. We'd run a few circuits around campus before sparring. Sometimes we would spar in wolf form in the clearing in the woods, but other times we'd be in the gym in our human forms. My favorite sparring was in the clearing when we started out human and then Shifted. Dimitri was getting better
Under The Moonlight Chapter Thirty Five
DPOV I felt the first Strigoi move toward Roza, and I leapt toward the closest Pricolici. I seemed to catch it off guard because I had its throat detached from its body before it could respond. The second Pricolici jumped over me, trying to get to Roza. I thrust a claw upwards, slashing at its underbelly, hoping to do some damage. I managed to turn its attention from Roza to myself. The situation was better but not ideal. Flashes of my previous encounter with a Pricolici bombarded my mind, but instead of Ivan's body, it was Roza's. I expected to feel sorrow and pain, but as the rage coursed through my veins, my bloodlust grew. The remaining Pricolici took a step back and fear flashed in its eyes. I took the moment of hesitation to charge forward, aiming for the neck of the undead beast. My body was already fueled by the blood of the first Pricolici, I had more than enough energy to take the second one. I could feel Roza still going strong, I knew she would be, so I focused my attent
Under The Moonlight Chapter Thirty Six
RPOV Much like the first time I woke in Dimitri's arms, he wouldn't let me leave. In fact, this time, every unsuccessful attempt was met with a growl. Sometime during the night, Dimitri had rid us both of our clothing, probably due to overheating. "Dimitri," I said for the fifth time, but every time I said his name in an attempt to wake him was met with a kiss to the back of my neck, this time was no different. I'd poked him several times, but he'd only tightened his grip around me. I decided I'd have to pull out my Alpha to get him to listen to me. Besides, it was time for us to wake up anyway. I didn't know what time we had to meet Alberta and Abe, but I assumed it was going to be early. I felt my inner wolf rise up, and Dimitri's lifted his head. I gave a low menacing growl, but his lips curled back in the best attempt at a smirk a wolf can give. I felt Dimitri's cock jump to attention as he released a low moan. Not exactly how I imagined waking him, but it will get the job done
Under The Moonlight Chapter Thirty Seven
DPOV I straightened in my seat and stared him right in the eyes before answering. "Yes, sir," I responded. His eyes narrowed further, but I maintained eye contact. I heard Alberta gasp and the room tensed further. "Daughter?" I heard Rose mumble quietly beside me. I watched as Abe's eyes widened in realization of what he had done. I would have laughed as fear swept over his face if not for the fact that I was in trouble myself. You could hear the gulp as Abe looked toward Alberta for help, but I knew she wasn't going to give him any. My eyes were trained on Abe, keeping the threat in my line of sight. There wasn't really much he could do other than using his magic, but I wasn't going to give him the opportunity to retaliate. "You're a brave man, Belikov." I heard Alberta mutter. Rose had slowly risen from her seat and had begun to pace in the space behind us. I watched Abe's head swivel back and forth as he followed the movement. I think, like me, he was waiting for her to explode
Under The Moonlight Chapter Thirty Eight
RPOV We returned to Alberta's office, still in wolf form. The normally spacious office was dwarfed when our massive bodies entered. Abe looked a little worried, but I wasn't sure if it was because we were giant beasts or if he was worried about me. "Are you alright, Rose?" Alberta asked after Dimitri had closed the door with his tail. I sat back on my haunches while Dimitri stood behind me protectively. Now that he knew the threat was against me, there was no way that I could get him to relax. "I'll get there. Do we know for a fact that there isn't a threat against Lissa?" I asked, looking at Abe for my answer. "Absolutely sure, well, not from these Strigoi anyway. She is still a Princess, there's going to be a threat no matter what, but she's safe inside the wards." "Is Roza safe within the wards?" Dimitri asked. "Probably not. The Strigoi, sadly, have the ability to manipulate even the strongest of people. Rose is probably in more danger inside the wards than outside. Outside t
Under The Moonlight Chapter Thirty Nine
DPOV I'd finished making Roza and myself lunch but with a lot of effort. I had to keep myself focused on the cooking food in front of me rather than my Alpha who was lounging in a chair in just my shirt. Her long legs were draped over the armrest barely covered by the fabric, one hand twirling her long hair around her fingers. She was reading one of her serial killer books and occasionally chuckled before falling silent again. After using all of my self-control, I finished cooking our stir-fry. I'd discovered if I fed Roza Chinese food, she's much more willing to allow my close proximity. I sat a bowlful of stir-fry on the coffee table in front of her and pulled the book out of her hands. I stuck her bookmark in the page she was on and ignored her glare as I moved away from her. Her glare vanished as her eyes fell on the food in front of her. "Thanks, Comrade!" She chirped, picking up her chopsticks and digging in. I quickly moved to put on clothes as her moans of approval drifted

RPOV "There was nothing you could do, Roza." Dimitri comforted as we cuddled in bed. We'd just gotten back to the house and finished taking a shower, and Dimitri had finally Shifted back. After Galina had understood what was going to happen, I beheaded her. The Pricolici were the only remnants of Galina's empire other than the Strigoi that had been sent out at the beginning of the night. "I still feel bad. They weren't hurting anyone anymore. I had them under control." I grumbled knowing he was right. "I know, but even you don't know how long you could have kept them in control." Dimitri soothed pulling me closer to him. "It feels nice having you back in human form. If you ever go on strike like that again, I'm dropping you from the pack." I said in a serious tone. He chuckled and kissed my neck. "I'm sure you will." He mumbled as he continued to pepper kisses on my skin. "I'm serious, I will." I moaned as Dimitri's hand started circling lower. "Even your charming ways couldn't

DPOV "Does everyone know what they're doing?" Rose asked yet again. We'd been going over this plan for the past three days. After we'd gotten back the first night, we told Abe everything and let him formulate a plan while we slept. We got a good day's sleep before setting out for another night of investigation with more detailed instructions on what to look for. We arrived at the manor before the sun fully set, giving us enough time to see how many Strigoi were sent out. After the first night, we didn't take Paul. Babushka said that he'd learned enough and didn't need to go again. Personally, I think that the constant questions made surveillance difficult and the long hours we'd be gone were hard for such a young wolf. Rose had suggested that she could be paired with someone else to see if she could help notice different things than them, but I shut that idea down before it fully left her mouth. We went back to the same spot we had visited the previous nights to better notice patte
Under The Moonlight Chapter Fifty Two
RPOV There was a phone ringing nearby and the surface I was sleeping on started shifting. I groaned softly in annoyance but immediately fell back into my dream of Dimitri and me in an amusement park. The Dimitri beside me was always smiling and, thankfully, in human form. He'd threaded his fingers through mine, and our arms swung freely between us. When I actually looked around us, the park looked dilapidated. The metal of the various rides had rust and faded and chipped paint. The ground was littered with trash and I finally noticed that no one else was here. With furrowed eyebrows, we continued through the park. As we approached the back of the park, I could hear music playing. My ears perked up as they tried to find the source of the music. Coming around the corner of a concessions building, I saw the merry-go-round spinning slowly while playing rundown, creepy-sounding music. Dimitri suddenly stopped, seemingly frozen in time. I tried pulling him closer to the ride and calling

DPOV Rose was taking a shower after training when a knock sounded on our door. I was laying right outside the bathroom door, waiting for Rose, and lifted my head. "Enter," I called out. There was a deep intake of breath outside the door before it opened. Adrian stuck his head through the doorway and looked around the room until his gaze fell upon me. His eyes widened a little, I'm assuming because I was still in wolf form, but he quickly fixed his face back to the carefree, cocky look he always seemed to wear. "What can I do for you, Lord Ivashkov?" I asked sitting up taller. Even when I was laying down I was still taller than the Moroi lord. "I wanted to make sure the air between us is clear." He replied stepping further into the room. "As long as you know that Roza's place is by my side and there's nothing you can do to change that, we'll be fine," I stated narrowing my eyes slightly. "You've nothing to worry about from me. I see the connection you two have, and I don't have t

RPOV "You can let go of her hand now," Dimitri growled as Adrian continued to hold on to my hand. "Don't worry, Big Hybrid," Adrian said releasing my hand. "I can see your Claim, you've nothing to worry about from me." Dimitri didn't look too convinced as Adrian gave him a lazy, carefree smirk before winking at me. "So, Little Hybrid, would you like to catch me up on all that's been going on around here?" He asked gesturing me over to a couch. Adrian had arrived this morning while Dimitri and I were enjoying our shower. As soon as Dimitri had dried off, he Shifted. Abe later gave a tentative knock at our door to inform us of our recently arrived guest. I sat down on one of the couches and Dimitri immediately placed himself at my feet in between myself and Adrian. Adrian looked amused at Dimitri's overprotective and jealous nature, but Dimitri continued to look the part of the jealous boyfriend. We spend the next hour filling Adrian in on what had been happening with me and my pa
Under The Moonlight Chapter Forty Nine
DPOV I could tell that remaining in wolf form was starting to get to Rose, but I wasn't Shifting unless absolutely necessary and even then, I'd Shift back as soon as possible. We'd gathered the pack in the living room to share the information we'd collected while feeding and hoped to gather information on what had happened to Christian. "Why don't you start, Liss," Rose said gently taking Lissa's hand in hers as they sat beside each other on one couch. I lay on the floor beside Rose resting my head on her feet. "Derek stopped me on the edge of the wards. He wouldn't let me follow you guys and Rose. I was a little irritated, yes, but then I thought about what I could really do to help and decided it was better if I stayed back to help when you returned. That was until I felt the pain in my chest." Lissa paused briefly and shook her head as if to rid herself of the memory. Christian, who was sitting on the other side of Lissa, took her hand and gave it a comforting squeeze. She took
Under The Moonlight Chapter Forty Eight
RPOV I could feel Dimitri's anxiety as soon as we exited the wards, but I decided to focus on my overwhelming hunger instead of calming my Pair. The scent of death was still overpowering, but I didn't know if it was because there were Strigoi nearby or because last night's dead Strigoi still hadn't dissolved in the sunlight. Due to the dense tree coverage, sunlight wouldn't have been able to reach all the bodies. We'll probably need to come and burn the bodies. "Do you guys know which direction we should start in?" I asked tiredly. My muscles ached and my stomach felt like it was going to tear itself apart, but the bloodlust kept me upright and moving. "I say we start in the direction the Strigoi disappeared in last night." Dimitri provided herding me in that direction. I ran in the direction he pointed me in keeping an eye and a nose out for Strigoi. We passed the bodies we'd decimated last night and found a scent to follow from there. Dimitri was running directly to my left while
Under The Moonlight Chapter Forty Seven
DPOV "Join our pack?" Rose questioned quietly. Babushka was still holding her chin in her hand, silently appraising my Alpha and my Pair. "Yes. We've been a part of the Baia pack for as long as I can remember, but when Mama told me that Dimitri had Paired with a True Alpha, I knew we had to meet you and join your pack." Mama explained gesturing to Babushka. "Our pack isn't necessarily the safest to join at the moment," Rose mumbled hesitantly. "Nonsense. We're joining, that is, if you'll have us." Mama said with a wave of her hand. Babushka finally released Rose's chin, and she came to stand beneath me. I'd sat down watching my family interact with Roza, well specifically my Babushka. Rose leaned back against me cuddling into my fur. She rubbed one leg against the other, probably trying to gain warmth through the friction. My shirt stopped a few inches below her ass, covering her modesty while giving me a great view of her legs. "I can't really say 'no' to your family, can I?" Sh
Under The Moonlight Chapter Forty Six
RPOV My head was pounding. My body felt heavy. My mind was weak. I couldn't stand. I couldn't move. I heard the sounds of a raging battle, but I couldn't find the strength to join in. My heart constricted as I felt Dimitri grow weaker. He needed blood, but the amount of Strigoi wouldn't let him get a decent bite. "Fight, Comrade." I sent out weakly. I heard him give a loud growl and felt the pull of blood. Off in the distance, I could hear approaching footsteps, and I was worried Dimitri would have to fight off even more attackers. "Rose!" I heard Mason's voice cry out. My heart rate quickened knowing the rest of my pack probably wasn't far behind. I found the strength to open my eyes. I was lying face down on the ground. I could see one of Dimitri's massive paws beside my head as he stood over me. After he took down the first few Strigoi, the rest of them held back to plan a more effective approach. I could smell his blood, and I knew he had been injured. The heavy pounding o
