Under The Moonlight Chapter Twenty Six
We entered Alberta's office, which was already open, though I could see someone else was in there already talking to her. They both stopped talking and looked up when we entered. "Rose, Dimitri. Please, come in and sit." Alberta said with a kind smile, even toward Dimitri, which was kind of suspicious. "Abe this is Rose Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov." The man, Abe, stood and extended his hand toward us. He was well dressed, albeit a little flashy. His skin was well tanned for a Moroi and his hair was a lush black, his face adorned with a well-groomed goatee. He smelled like a Moroi, but his scent was familiar. I was sure I'd never met this man in my life, though. "Abe Mazur." He said, his gaze focused on me. I felt Dimitri's protectiveness increase and the air in the room grew tense. "Zmey," Dimitri said in greeting, putting his hand out to shake Abe's. "It's nice to see you again Dimitri. Tell me, how's your grandmother?" Abe said, shifting his focus to Dimitri while shaking his h

DPOV I didn't place the scent until Rose walked past me to get out of the room. It was her scent, well, part of it, except it was on him. "You're Rose's father," I stated plainly once Rose had firmly closed the door behind her. There was a reason he didn't disclose that information while she was in the room, and I wanted to know why. "How did you know?" Abe asked, confirming my statement. "Your scent. It's similar to Rose's, but she has more lavender in it. You've got a very distinct vanilla scent. The only other person I've ever smelt that has vanilla is Rose." I said but studied him closely. "However, now that I'm looking closely, I can see the similarities. She's got your hair." "That's not the only trait of mine she's received. Has she always had that kind of control over you?" He asked with a smirk on his face. The expression reminded me so much of Rose. "Sadly, she could have me down on my knees with just one look," I said with a sigh. "I'm sure the look she gives you to g

RPOV "Dimitri. Stop." I said stepping in front of Guardian Pavlov. I understand that Ivan was being threatening, but things were about to get out of control. I felt Dimitri's anger rise as he kept steady eye contact with Ivan. There was no stopping the Change. A wolf Dimitri's size should not have been able to fit inside this small stairwell, but he did. Ivan's fear grew as Dimitri did. "Guardian Pavlov, I suggest you find a different route out of this building, and the next time I tell you to step aside, I suggest you listen," I said quietly, keeping my eyes on Dimitri's chocolate brown form. His lips were pulled back in a snarl, but he stayed put at the bottom of the stairs. I heard Ivan dash up the stairs and down the hall to the stairs at the other end of the building. "Comrade, calm down." "I told you I didn't like him." He growled. "I know. We'll call Alberta and ask if Abe is still willing to provide one of his Guardians. As long as it isn't his primary Guardian, I'll accep

DPOV I can't believe I'm Paired with my Alpha. We're an Alpha Pair. Rose is mine. I probably need to talk to Alberta. What's Abe going to say? Shit. "What's wrong?" Rose asked from her place underneath me. "Are you okay?" "I'm fine," I said trying to mask my anxiety. "Don't lie to me, Dimitri. We may not have forged our Paired Bond, but I can still read you better than you think." She said glaring up at me. "I didn't talk to Alberta about becoming a Pair. I only asked about dating, but I doubt she's going to allow me this." I said rolling off of her and on to my back beside her. She propped herself up on her elbows and looked down at me. "She's going to have to allow this because she doesn't have a choice." She said determinedly. "You're mine. This is my pack. She doesn't get a say in my Pair. You're mine. I'm not going to let anyone take you away from me." My cock twitched as she verbally Claimed me. I released a low growl and rolled to face her. She moved closer to me, tu
Under The Moonlight Chapter Thirty
RPOV I woke to the feeling of Dimitri's arms pulling me closer to him. I could tell by the light that peaked around the curtains that it was around the time that I woke up. Dimitri would sleep another hour before he woke, but I needed to get up. My body felt a little sore, but it was pleasant, and I wanted to get a long run in before our morning session. As I tried to remove myself from Dimitri's arms, they tightened and pulled me back down. I huffed and tried again to be met with the same results. The third try, I got a little further but was again pulled back, the arms tightening even more. "Roza," Dimitri mumbled in his sleep, his arms tightening again. I tried again to gently remove myself from his embrace, but this time I was met with a low growl. "Mine." I felt myself shiver at his possessive tone. My fingers came up and traced the Mark on my collarbone. I tried again to get up, but Dimitri's sleeping body had finally had enough of my movement, and he slung a large leg over m
Under The Moonlight Chapter Thirty One
DPOV I was having trouble keeping my hands off of her. My body longed for her. My inner wolf called out to hers. My eyes lingered on her. I thought she was all-consuming before, but after our Bonding, my mind couldn't focus on anything once she was in my line of sight. She moved around my room, picking up her clothes from various parts of the room. Her hair was wet from our shower together, and she was wearing one of my button-ups. The shirt stopped shortly after her ass exposing the majority of her legs. She'd left the top three buttons undone nearly exposing her perfect breasts to me. It hung lower on one side, exposing the shoulder that had my Mark. The Mark had begun to fade to black, making it stand out more on her skin. "Look what you've done." She said holding up her destroyed underwear. I took a moment to recall how the lacy red fabric looked on her and how it looked off her. "I've no regrets," I said from my place in the doorway to the bathroom. Her eyes narrowed before th

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

Under The Moonlight Chapter Fifty Four
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

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

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

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
